Abigail had a restless night, pondering why Eric's third uncle, Jonell, had done so.
The following morning, she was surprised to find Sean was there as she descended the stairs.
Josh seemed to be elated, a smile gracing his face.
Spotting Abigail coming down, he promptly clarified, "I sent him the information last night. He wanted to know the details and came over right away."
Abigail nodded and headed towards the dining room.
Sean's gaze lingered on her.
Shortly after, Andrew emerged from the elevator and made a beeline for the TV in the living room.
Sean was visibly stunned upon seeing Andrew.
Observing Sean's fixation on Andrew, Josh elucidated, "He's a friend of Abby's from overseas. Due to a medication error, he's confined to a wheelchair, and also—"
He paused briefly, lowering his voice involuntarily. "He has lived a sheltered life and lacks common knowledge, but he is remarkably astute. We have obtained the information thanks to him."
Sean felt a surge of conflicting emotions upon hearing this. In the photo he had seen back then, Andrew was sitting next to Abigail, appearing fond of her. He recalled there was also a child in the picture.
Noting Sean's silence, Josh felt his extensive explanation might have been unnecessary and therefore stopped. Instead, he shifted the conversation to Jonell.
Abigail leisurely consumed her breakfast in the dining room. Even after she finished, Josh and Sean had yet to reach a consensus.
"What do you think?" Josh asked Abigail.
After pondering all night, Abigail, with a somber look, sat down, slightly hunched. "I'm going to make a trip to New Yoke."
Josh immediately objected, "But you've just returned!"
"Luna can't wait." Abigail's tone was resolute, her eyes flashing with determination. "If this leads to something, I will bring her back!"
She planned to conduct Larry's DNA test that day.
If it matched Jonell's, she wouldn't hold back any mercy.
Sean silently observed Abigail.
Josh was startled by Abigail, swallowing the words he was about to say. "Abby..." he murmured, grasping Abigail's hand. "I brought Sean here so we could discuss this together. What if something were to happen to you if you go alone?"
Abigail withdrew her hand, her expression icy. "I can hire people too."
As long as the price is right, what kind of desperado can't be hired?
Sean couldn't help but speak up, "First, we need to confirm it is Luna. If she's safe, we don't have to rush. We can let Eric stir things up first."
Bearing her surname?
