Abigail quickly answered the call.
After Simond flirted with her today, she felt somewhat guilty towards Sean.
However, she didn't dare to casually reveal Luna's situation. Luna was hiding from everyone and living in Adral. It meant that she did not want anyone to know that she was pregnant.
Whose child is this? Should she do a DNA test?
"Sorry, I was swamped. I couldn't have dinner with you," Abigail apologized to Sean as soon as she answered.
"Why are you apologizing? Where are you? If work's too difficult for you to cope with, I can come over," Sean replied, expressing his longing for her. They had been apart for 18 months, but she left again as soon as they had the chance to be together again.
"There's no need. I should be back in a week or two. Don't worry, Sean. Aren't you busy with your company too? Focus on your work, and we can have fun together once I'm done with my matters." Her only concern now was to keep Sean from flying over to look for her.
If he had come, Josh might also have found out about Luna's pregnancy.
She didn't want Josh to know this news and be upset.
"Alright then." Sean didn't inquire further, even though he found her behavior a bit strange.
Abigail hung up the phone and sighed lightly.
After spending the night at the hospital, the doctor informed her first thing in the morning that Linda was momentarily out of danger and would be moved out of the ICU at noon.
After wearily answering the doctor, she sat in the corridor outside the ward and massaged her temples.
Suddenly, someone sat down beside her.
She turned her head to look.
It was Simond again with a mischievous smile. "Thanks for paying my medical bills, honey. Can you help me buy a phone and a SIM card?"
Abigail reached out and grabbed his collar. "Be careful with your life if you dare to shout nonsense again!"
Her anger startled Simond.
He raised his hands. "Okay, Ms. Alana. Please help me buy a phone and a SIM card."
Abigail stood up abruptly and was about to leave when suddenly everything went black.
Simond quickly stood up and held her. Her elbow hit his wound, which caused him to grimace in pain. "Ouch! That hurts!"
Abigail regained consciousness and pulled away from Simond's grasp while looking at him with irritation. "Stay in your ward if you can't behave!"
"If I do so, what if you fall down? What if you have a bruised and swollen face?" Simond spread his hands innocently.
Abigail didn't answer him.
"I haven't had breakfast yet. Remember to buy me some breakfast," he added.
