"I'm always prepared. I've never let my guard down," Cameron said, looking at him with determination.
Sean patted his shoulder. "Take good care of your wife."
"I understand." Cameron nodded. Luna's incident was a wake-up call for everyone.
After Cameron left, Sean returned to Abigail's side. He took her hand and kissed it. "You need to get better. Luna was alone in Saraville, and Josh couldn't handle the shock. He's in the hospital now. We need to go there and take care of Luna's affairs."
Abigail never imagined that at such a young age, she would have to do such a thing for Luna.
She had always thought that when she got married, she would give the bouquet to Luna and let her find her own happiness.
But that day never came...
"Sean..." Abigail called out with a choked voice.
Sean hummed in response, looking at Abigail with a pained expression. "I don't know what happened to Luna, but I promise you, I will find out the truth and ensure her life wasn't lost in vain."
Abigail tried to get up.
Sean stood up and helped her sit up.
Abigail threw herself into Sean's arms as she cried. "The night I came back, I had a fight with her. She had a depressive episode that day. I blamed her for not saying a word when we were shopping. I blamed her for putting pressure on me, for making me feel wronged... I was really wrong... I shouldn't have left her... What she needed most when she was sick was the care of a friend. Sean, I really... I really regret it..."
Sean patted her back.
"I always felt wronged... but she was the one who suffered the most. I was really wrong... I don't deserve to be her friend. Without my troubles, she wouldn't have ended up like this. I have no right to feel pain..."
"But you're human, and because you care about her, you're upset by her every move. Abby, she's gone now, and self-blame is useless. You can only pull yourself together, find the person who hurt her first, and then apologize at her grave." Sean knew these words were harsh, but Abigail couldn't hear any comforting words now.
If she really came back because of Luna's illness that day, then she was indeed wrong.
She was a strong person, but when it came to friends, this strength could become a weapon that hurt them.
Abigail really didn't want to hear the truth about Luna's departure, but she couldn't escape this reality.
"Give me some time, I will adjust..." Abigail propped herself up on the bed, her eyes red.
Sean wiped the tears from her face and stroked her hair. "Rest well, don't dwell on it. I'm here for you."
Abigail nodded. She lay down again, but when she closed her eyes, it was the day Luna was angry and the words she said to Luna.
In the end, she messed up everything on her own.
