Abigail's Second Life novel Chapter 838

Awakening to the bright daylight, Abigail found herself still in bed, no longer at sea. She sprang up and yelled in the direction of the door, "Xavien!"

Xavien, who was standing guard outside, was startled and entered the room quickly, asking, "What happened?"

"You mentioned we'd be out at sea for a week. Why are we back here?" Abigail demanded, her frail body trembling as she grabbed his collar and shouted.

Xavien was taken aback by her outburst. After a moment, he explained, "You fell seriously ill at sea, according to Simond. I was worried it might happen again, so I brought you back to one of the nearby islands."

"I'm fine, just tired, so let's go back..."

Hearing that, Xavien immediately interjected, "Mr. Graham is safe. I managed to reach him today. We can visit him once your condition gets better."

Surprised, Abigail's eyes widened with concern. "Is he okay?"

"Yes, but we can't be sure until we see him. He's in the hospital but not in the best condition," Xavien reassured her.

Relaxing her grip on his collar, Abigail sank back onto the bed, her eyes welling with tears. "Is he really alright?"

"Absolutely. He called me this morning, saying he'd just woken up. However, we need to proceed cautiously, considering the commotion his accident has caused in Eswadia," Xavien explained solemnly.

"Jonell's group likely has connections to these pirates, and they are probably throwing a party right now," Abigail spat coldly.

"I have to inform and reassure Mr. Graham's family that he's fine now. You stay put," Xavien instructed, motioning toward the bed. "Ms. Quinn, getting enough rest is your utmost priority now. Mr. Graham mentioned there's a plan, and it's important that we create the impression that he indeed fell into the sea."

Abigail nodded. "I get it. As long as he's safe, I don't need to see him immediately."

"Mr. Graham hesitated at first to tell you, fearing you might interfere with the plan," Xavien remarked as he tucked her in after she settled into bed. "But he couldn't bear to see you upset."

Abigail understood why Sean had disclosed his plan to her. She had once kept her plan a secret from him, which ultimately led to their separation. In order to avoid any recurrence this time, he didn't repeat her way.
