Xavien furrowed his brow and maintained a quiet demeanor.
"Let us await Sean's awakening. I will discuss it with him and provide you with an update later. Is that acceptable?" Abigail calmly addressed Callen.
Callen nodded. "Okay!"
Kadrick placed a reassuring hand on Xavien's shoulder and stated, "The Simpson Family's pursuit of Mr. Graham is motivated by Simond's recent international recognition. If the issue garners public attention, the circumstances will be altered."
Following the escort of the individuals by Xavien, he addressed Abigail, stating, "The Simpson Family is endeavoring to attribute Stephen's death to Mr. Graham. Is it considered plausible, in your opinion? When Stephen passed away, Mr. Graham was in Eswadia, leaving a trail everywhere."
Upon hearing his words, Abigail experienced a sensation of coldness running down her spine. She thought, Did I nearly make a mistake earlier?
"Do not be concerned about Mr. Hinton. He was speaking informally. If the focus is shifted to you, the situation may escalate." Xavien provided reassurance to Abigail.
Abigail was experiencing a sense of disorientation at this juncture. While adept at handling business affairs, she found herself perplexed in this particular scenario.
"I will investigate the situation concerning the Simpson Family as a priority. Please do not worry. If they attempt to shift blame onto us after claiming credit for the chip, I won't let them get away with it easily!" Xavien declared before resuming his duties.
Abigail was seated next to Sean.
Luna and Josh promptly joined the group.
"It's alright. Our parents are also endeavoring to ascertain the circumstances." Josh provided solace to Abigail.
Abigail grasped Sean's hand and observed the diamond ring adorning his finger. Tears filled her eyes as she uttered, "Josh, I am okay. He will also be fine. He has consistently exhibited great strength, akin to a deity. Deity does not experience injury."
Tears welled up in Josh's eyes.
With red eyes, Luna approached Abigail with effort and, in a strained voice, conveyed. "We will support you through this challenging period."
Luna thought, I wish to acknowledge that it is my responsibility. But I am aware that Abigail is already distressed. She can't even attend to Sean. If she still needs to consider my emotions. She appears to be fatigued. Luna's gradual improvement was also observed by Josh, who noticed her subtle changes in condition.
Sean woke up in the evening.
Abigail had prepared a stew for him. Upon observing his awakening, she inquired, "Are you feeling hungry? I have prepared dinner for you."
Sean gazed at her with a feeble expression, observing her briefly, and softly uttered, "I apologize. Today was originally designated as the day of our wedding. I failed to uphold my commitment."
"It is acceptable. We can proceed with the marriage whenever you feel prepared." Abigail grasped his hand, displaying a smile on her face. "The most important thing is your well-being."
As Sean observed her brisk movements, a sense of remorse washed over him. He thought, Today is supposed to be her happiest day. But once again, I am disappointing her.
