Abigail's Second Life novel Chapter 743

In that case, Emma's safety might still be at risk.

While having another child is a possibility, once the money is gone, it becomes difficult to earn it back. After all, they had operated the business for years. They will definitely try their best to keep it running, even if it means sacrificing more lives.

After careful consideration, Josh spoke in a deep voice, "Eric, It's a favor to me that Emma can provide you with some information. However, you must not ask too much of her. If her family truly is involved in this, that means they're also a family of demons. Do you expect a money-minded demon to show her mercy?"

Eric started to feel a sense of fear from his words. "Josh, I'm a little scared. It seems like the police can't find anything. How many people do you think were involved to completely cover it up like this?"

Upon hearing that, Josh approached him and patted his shoulder. "Tell Emma to be careful. As for the rest, take it slow."

I understand Eric's mindset very well. Being caught in the network of interests, he knows how greedy and ugly human nature can be. But what terrifies him the most now is that his own family might be connected to this matter. That's why he finds it hard to accept.

Eric hummed in response.

At this moment, the doorbell rang. It was the food delivery guy.

Despite having already eaten, Josh still stayed and had some with Eric.

Before leaving, Eric couldn't help but grab Josh's sleeve. "Josh, if you really want me to help, I will find a way to get Emma to confirm it."

"It's fine." Josh looked at him gratefully. "Your priority is Emma's safety. As for Luna, maybe Emma had made a mistake. I witnessed Luna's burial with my own eyes, after all."

As he spoke, his eyes instantly welled up with tears.

Eric watched him leave with a heavy heart. Unable to hold back, he caught up with him. "Hang in there, Josh. Don't be too sad."

He knew very well Luna's passing not only brought pain to Josh but also to Abigail.

"I know." Josh's voice sounded slightly strained.

"Josh, call me if you need anything." Eric looked at him with sincere eyes.

"Sure. Thanks," Josh said and left.

Eric returned to the room and sat for a long time. When he looked up, his expression became particularly determined.

"Josh, Abigail… if it really was someone from my family who harmed your loved ones, I will take some responsibility for it," he murmured.

Early the next morning, Abigail checked her phone, intending to check the situation back home. Suddenly, a trending headline popped up.

'Eric Davidson is suspected to have a major accident at a hotel. His life and death remain unknown.'

However, Abigail didn't have much emotional fluctuation. She messaged Josh.

'Did Eric really have an accident?'

Since she was far away, she couldn't return and check on Eric. Hence, she figured she would call and ask him about his condition once the news was confirmed.

'Yes. It's serious.'

'What happened exactly? Will it affect his acting career?'

'He's disfigured… He said the floor tiles were too slippery, so he slipped and hit his face on the ground. He's currently in the hospital.'

Abigail could hardly believe the explanation. The hotel floor tiles were too slippery? Seriously? But Eric stays at the finest hotel.

She was bereft of speech. Could this truly reflect the saying that when one is unlucky, everything can be against them?

From Alice's passing, me parting ways with Ronaldo, to Luna leaving, and now Eric accidentally falling on his face.

It seems like everyone around me isn't doing well.

Now that I will be able to see Sean in two days, I can feel the longing that has been trapped inside me seem to be intensifying. Oh, how I wish these two days could pass quickly!

"What's happening?" Abigail was slightly confounded. Didn't Martin inform his business partner about him having a visitor?
