Chapter 599 No Feelings
The news of Gary’s pa*sing stirred the upper society of Capitalis. Just like Analise predicted, Lawrence fell ill from his overwhelming sadness. When Abigail visited him, his hair was already graying a lot. It was jarring when contrasted with his younger face. Meanwhile, Scarlett’s eyes were swollen. She was already sobbing silently when she saw Abigail. Crying, Scarlett said, “He’s hurt badly. Inside, I mean. He’s been in a coma for a long time. The doctor said he wouldn’t accept the news of his father’s pa*sing.”
Before this, Scarlett would have to force herself just to cry. She’d even put on a pitiful look just to make Abigail pity her, but this time, it was different. Her sobs were real.
Abigail approached her and held her hand, and then she sat beside Lawrence’s bed. “Mr. Pearson, I am Abigail Quinn. I will return to the Pearsons, but I have to make it clear that I have not forgotten what you guys did to me. I’ll give you a chance to make things up with me, but I will decide whether or not to forgive you people. If you accept those terms, wake up and give me your answer.”
Scarlett’s eyes went wide, as wide as they could, anyway. “Is that true, Abby? You’re coming home?”
“Yes,” Abigail nodded.
Scarlett was laughing and crying at the same time. “Finally! We’ve moved out, Abby. It’s a new home. Your room’s newly renovated, and it’s been waiting for you to come home.”
“Sure.” Abigail nodded.
Suddenly, Scarlett got worried. “Forget it. You shouldn’t go home for now. Your grandmother is still angry at you.”
“I know my grandmother. She’s never really angry at me,” Abigail responded seriously.
Scarlett was still angry at Patricia, so she said, “You’re right. Analise is your real grandmother. She’s the only grandmother you have.”
Abigail grunted, but she said nothing.
Maybe Abigail’s words worked, but Lawrence woke up in the evening.
Scarlet held his hand tightly. “You heard what Abby said, didn’t you?”
He heard nothing, but he nodded “Yeah I couldn’t leave her behind”
She pounced into hts arins, crying her heart out “What would I do if you’d left me? What should Abby do She’s going to have kuts It she doesnt have our help, how will she cope?
To you I’m sorry Lawrence way all d upon hearing that

He looked at Abigail with a plea in his eyes. “You have to attend your grandfather’s funeral.”
“Of course I will,” Abigail answered calmly. She had decided to return to the Pearsons so she would deal with their matters.
Lawrence nodded. “Good. That’s good to hear.”
“You guys talk. I’ll get some fresh air.” Abigail couldn’t even think of anything to say. She shared no bond with her parents, so they had nothing to talk about. She thought it would be awkward if she stayed.
Once she was gone, Scarlett said quietly, “Abby said she’d come home with us, but she hasn’t forgiven us yet. We’ll have to be nice to her, or she’s never going to forgive us.”
Lawrence looked at Scarlett in disbelief. “Really?”
“Yep. She’s a softie. She relented because Gary had pa*sed. We have to be nice to her, and you’re going to heal up pronto. Our relatives have come to the wake. You’re the only one left. We’ve picked the day of the funeral. It’ll be in seven days,” Scarlett stated quietly.
Lawrence got sad upon hearing that. He couldn’t accept that his father had died. It was rather sudden. Lawrence gazed at Scarlett. “We can’t do anything to Vincent now that Patricia is defending him. We can’t kill my mom.”
Scarlett heaved a sigh. “Let’s deal with the issue at hand first. We’ll deal with Vincent later. If we can’t deal with him, we’re telling Sean, and he can stay at our place. Makes it easier to get rid of Vincent.”
“You have a point.” Lawrence nodded.
After a little stroll, Abigail got a call from Xavien. “I found everything you wanted me to, Ms. Quinn. I’ve called the cops on behalf of Howard, and the results should be out tonight.” Xavien did everything for Abigail since she had a lot of family matters to settle.
Thank you I told you I’d reward you.” Abigail smiled.
Sure thing Just give me how much you wish to Im cool with it Xavien sounded relaxed.
Are you alright? You haven’t been taking any breaks since you got hurt Abigail was concerned.
Xaviru was surprised and he answered. Im fine Mr Graham has been nice to me. He gave inc a ton of stuff when Analne took care of ine’
