Abigail's Second Life novel Chapter 772

Abigail was suddenly overwhelmed with a sense of filial guilt.

She found herself questioning whether her past decisions to persevere were justified or not.

Now, as everything seemed to be falling apart, she couldn't help but think of Sean. Despite their differences, they were still in the same city...

"Grandma, I'm sorry, but you need to stay home. Sean needs you, his grandfather needs you, and Lina needs you too," Abigail said with a heavy heart.

Analise's diabetes was worsening, leading to moments of confusion and impaired vision.

Abigail's heart ached for everyone, yet she was powerless to do anything.

She felt responsible for everything that had gone wrong. It's all my fault.

After ending the call, she turned to Simond with teary eyes.

"What do we do now? It's not like we can just teleport back there. Eswadia is 15,000 miles away. We can't just snap our fingers and be there," Simond remarked unsympathetically.

Sniffling, Abigail pleaded, "Could you please dial another number for me?"

Simond asked her to provide the number.

Once the call connected, Abigail said softly, "Josh..."

Josh knew it was her as soon as the call connected. He had a strong intuition about this call.

"I'm aware of your situation. Tell me what needs to be done." Josh had been overwhelmed lately. He assisted Sean in raising funds, yet Sean remained adamant and refused any help.

Josh heard that after Sean and Abigail broke up, Sean treated the Pearsons as strangers and refused to meet them in person.

"Please sell the company for me. Fairy Meadow and L.Moon..." Abigail's voice trailed off.

"Abigail, Sean won't accept our money. He's determined to sever ties with you. My parents and I have tried countless times to meet him. We even offered substantial funds, but he declined everything and avoided meeting us." Josh sighed heavily.

Abigail gripped the phone tightly. She was at a loss for words.

"So... " Her voice carried a heavy sense of disappointment.

"Can't you come back?" Josh asked softly, "I heard you chose Simond. I know you had your reasons, but whenever you get the chance, you must explain... And also, Mom and Dad are really worried sick. They're getting so stressed that they have aged a lot. Everyone's really worried about you."

"I'm fine, really. I just can't come back for now," she reassured him.

Josh nodded. After a moment of silence, he continued, "Are you getting used to the food out there?"

"I'm managing," Abigail said, her mood gradually calming down.

That was her strength. No matter how tough things got, she could remain calm. Perhaps witnessing Luna's death had extinguished something in her that night.

"I'll wait for your return. You can trust me to take care of L.Moon and Fairy Meadow," Josh said softly. Deep down, he knew Abigail might never come back.

It was nothing more than the entire family breaking apart.
