Tyrone walked to Cornelia and pulled her sleeve, "Mom, I'm sorry. I will find Abigail."
"Well, Cornelia, let's go back first. Tyrone knows that he's wrong."
Hayden took the chance, wiped Cornelia's tears and said.
Cornelia sniffed and apologized to Nacho. Then they left the Xis.
Nacho asked Paul to find Abigail immediately.
"Abigail? Why are you sitting here alone?"
Joanna went out to eat with Earl. After having a meal, they watched a movie. When they went back, they saw Abigail who was sitting on the bench alone.
Abigail was taller, and her chubby face became thinner and delicate.
At this moment, Abigail's eyes were red and swollen. She lowered her head and rubbed her eyes with grievance.
Hearing Joanna's words, Abigail raised her head. After seeing clearly the person in front of her was Joanna, Abigail hugged Joanna excitedly, "Joanna, I was bullied..." she cried.
"Abigail, who bullied you?"
Joanna held Abigail's body and patted her back gently.
"Tyrone is a big bad guy..."
Abigail cried so sadly and her beautiful face was covered by tears.
Hearing what Abigail said, Joanna immediately knew who bullied her.
She held Abigail in her arms and looked up at Earl. Earl said gently, "Take her back. It's not safe for a child to be alone."
"Okay."
Joanna nodded and went home with Abigail.
An hour later.
"Are you feeling better?"
"Yes." After eating a big meal, Abigail touched her full belly and smiled childishly.
Joanna looked at the rice on the corner of Abigail's mouth and took out a tissue to wipe it gently.
Abigail glanced at Joanna and pursed her lips, "Joanna, am I annoying?"
Abigail inherited the perfect genes of Edward and Ashley, so she was so pretty, specially her beautiful big eyes. Being looked at by Abigail's pitiful eyes, Joanna's heart softened.
"You're so cute and not annoying at all. Don't think too much. I think Tyrone didn't mean to criticize you like that." Joanna replied.
"I... almost killed Kerr."
What?
Hearing that, Joanna almost couldn't hold the cup in her hand.
"I... didn't mean it. Kerr was hungry. I had a quarrel with Tyrone, so I fed Kerr some biscuits. Then Kerr frothed at the mouth. Aunt Cornelia sent him to the hospital. I'm so afraid... that something bad will happen to him."
"Kerr is hospitalized."
Joanna couldn't care about anything else, and immediately got up.
"Let me go to the hospital with you."
Earl came forward considerately and held Joanna's shoulders.
Hearing this, Joanna said with tears in her eyes, "Thank you, Angelo."
"Fool, you don't have to thank me."
Earl touched Joanna's hair and said with gentle eyes.
Joanna asked Abigail to stay at home, and then left with Earl.
Before Earl left, he narrowed his eyes and looked at Abigail who was sitting on the sofa in the living room. Then he sneered.
He had been thinking about how to kidnap Abigail, but he didn't expect that Abigail would come to his house in this way.
It would be easier for his plan.
Earl pressed a button in his pocket softly.
Joanna, who was next to Earl, didn't know what he had done at all. "Don't you go in?" Earl accompanied Joanna to the hospital. After arriving at the floor where Kerr's ward was, Joanna watched Cedric from a distance. Kerr seemed to be crying, and Cedric was comforting Kerr in his arms.
Joanna didn't except that Cedric actually knew how to comfort the child.
Watching this, Joanna was lost in thought. Earl, who was standing beside her, asked when he saw her dazed expression.
Joanna shook her head and said with sadness in her eyes, "I'd better... not go in. As long as Kerr is fine."
"Since you miss the child so much, why don't you see him now? You gave birth to him. I know that you really want to see Kerr. See him now!" Earl said to Joanna thoughtfully, because he didn't want Joanna to have any pressure.
Earl's consideration made Joanna feel a little guilty for no reason.
