Abigail was unaware that Luna had fallen ill immediately after her departure.
While at the airport, she called Simond.
"I'll be gone for half a day. Can you keep an eye on Luna for me? Let me know if anything happens," Abigail said as she sat in the waiting area, waiting for her ticket to be checked.
"There's already an issue. She's been crying alone in her room for half an hour," Simond informed her. "She's more dependent on you than you think. Is it necessary for you to go back?"
Abigail stood up, gazing at the exit, wishing she could return to Luna immediately.
"I've already made an appointment with the client." She started to feel a headache. If she had known, she wouldn't have agreed to meet the client so hastily. There must be other ways!
"In that case, you should go back. It's not a big deal. Finish your business as soon as possible and come back. I'll take care of her. Besides, her illness won't improve overnight. You can't always do this; you need to learn to prioritize," Simond calmly advised Abigail.
Abigail felt as if her legs weighed a thousand pounds.
Just then, the airport announced that it was time for ticket checking.
After she ended the call, Abigail held her ticket tightly. After a moment, she tore it up and turned towards the exit.
She hailed a cab and returned to Luna's place.
As she stood by the door, she saw Luna sitting in the living room, crying and making bracelets. She quickly walked up to her and embraced Luna as she said, "I'm still very concerned about you. Don't cry, okay?"
"Did I hold you back?" Luna asked through her tears.
"No, you are the most important person to me. Everything else can wait," Abigail assured her. Even if the client became angry and Garrett resigned, she couldn't leave Luna in this state.
Luna sobbed quietly. "I want to be stronger, but... I can't control my emotions. I really hate myself for being like this and always causing trouble for you."
"How could that be? We are best friends, and your well-being is the most important thing," Abigail comforted her as she patted her back.
Luna hugged Abigail and whispered, "I really like it when you're here with me. When I'm alone, it feels like a cage, and I'm afraid to go out... It's really contradictory."
"It's okay; I'll be with you. I'll always be with you," Abigail reassured her and wiped away her tears.
Luna's gloomy heart seemed to warm up at that moment because of Abigail.
As she looked at Abigail's familiar face, she felt an unprecedented sense of security.
Abigail wiped her tears and said softly, "You continue making bracelets. I'll contact the client, okay?"
"Okay!" Luna nodded vigorously.
