Abigail struggled to finish her meal before returning to the Pearson Residence with Sean.
Upon entering the house, Lawrence embraced her tightly. Scarlett, on the other hand, stood by and gently patted her shoulder.
"Later, I'm going to Saraville with Sean. It might be a while before we come back, so you need to take care of yourselves at home," Abigail murmured as she leaned into Lawrence's embrace.
He hummed in response. Then, he added, "Your mom and I will be fine. We will take care of ourselves. Remember to call us when you get there. I'm worried because Josh isn't answering his phone."
"Okay," Abigail replied softly.
After Lawrence let go of Abigail, Scarlett hugged her tightly. "Abby, we're here for you. If the situation becomes too overwhelming or if you feel upset and mistreated, you must call us. No matter how busy we are, we will come to support you and Josh."
"I know," Abigail said.
After packing some clothes, Abigail and Sean set off for Saraville.
When they arrived in Saraville, it was almost 9 p.m. Abigail went to the morgue, while Sean went to Josh's ward.
Luna's body, covered with a white cloth, lay on a metal bed.
Abigail's eyes were so red that they seemed as if they were about to shed tears of blood. Kneeling by the bed, she tightly gripped Luna's pale, stiff hand.
When Sean brought Josh over, Abigail was sitting on the floor, crying without caring about her appearance.
At that moment, the pain in her heart was so intense that even Sean, who was usually emotionally stable, could feel it. His heart felt as if it had been pricked by a needle.
He looked away and took shallow breaths to calm his aching heart.
Josh, on the other hand, couldn't bear to look at Luna's body. He still felt like he was living in a dream and couldn't accept that Luna was gone.
Abigail cried incessantly. Fearing that she would cry herself to exhaustion, Sean went in, helped her up from the floor, and said, "Let's go back and choose a suitable date for her funeral."
"No... I don't want to..." Abigail clung tightly to Luna's hand. She cried until her voice turned hoarse. "Luna, don't leave me. I was wrong. I'm not angry with you anymore. You can tease me anytime. I truly was wrong. Don't leave me."
"Abby, she's gone." As Sean pried Abigail's hand away, he spoke with a hint of anger in his voice.
Abigail shook her head repeatedly.
Having no choice, Sean forcibly pried her hand away and carried her out of the morgue.
Meanwhile, Josh stood at the entrance of the morgue. As he silently looked at Luna, who was covered with a white cloth, his pale face showed no emotion.
I must find out who did this to Luna!
