Abigail's Second Life novel Chapter 858

Josh found himself overwhelmed with emotion as tears streamed down his cheeks, his hand instinctively covering his mouth in disbelief.

Luna met his gaze, memories flooding back from their earliest encounters. She remembered a reserved Josh, his occasional smiles, and the way he blushed whenever she took charge. Witnessing him cry for the first time touched her deeply.

"What's the matter?" Luna inquired softly, her empathy evident in her gentle tone.

Josh turned aside, grappling with a profound sense of regret over Luna's plight. He acknowledged his inability to protect her from the challenges she and her husband endured. Despite once having confidence in his abilities, he now felt confined to Eswadia. Ultimately, the responsibility rested on Abigail and Sean.

"He feels sorry for you," Abigail murmured, her voice laced with empathy.

"Don't be. Just being back is all that matters. When Jonell imprisoned me, I didn't feel anything," Luna replied, her tone carrying a sense of resignation.

Abigail sensed Luna's emotional detachment, understanding that she had long been numb to such feelings.

"My mom makes pasta just like Grandma's. I'm sure you'll like it," Abigail interjected, shifting the conversation in an attempt to lift the mood.

Luna's gaze shifted to Abigail. "Is she doing well?"

Abigail hesitated, biting her lip. Though she remained silent, Luna sensed the truth.

"I'll pay her a visit once I'm feeling better," Luna murmured, her gaze drifting downwards.

It was evident that Luna's prolonged absence had taken its toll, her resilience waning.

After a brief silence, tears welled up in Luna's eyes, streaming down her cheeks uncontrollably.

Abigail observed, her own eyes moistening with empathy.

Josh stepped forward, wrapping Luna in a comforting embrace. "She passed away peacefully. She'll forever remain in your heart."

Luna could only cry, her sobs catching in her throat.

Abigail asked Josh to fetch some medicine for Luna. After she took it and began to calm down, Luna drifted into a deep slumber.

Exiting the room, Abigail furrowed her brow, lost in thought.

"I'll be here for her, supporting her in her battle against depression," Josh reassured Abigail, his determination shining through his gaze.

"She may struggle with complex emotions, but that's to be expected. Overcoming depression isn't easy; we need to stand by her side and help build her confidence," Abigail spoke gently, her tone filled with understanding.

"I'll inform my parents once I'm back home; they'll be delighted to hear about her return. And I plan to propose to her. We've already set a date, and my parents are making preparations," Josh continued, his resolve unwavering.
