Chapter 196 Not Expecting Gifts From Her

When Abigail woke up in the hospital, she was almost tackled by Luna. “Wait… I have injuries on my body. It hurts,” Abigail weakly pushed her friend away.

Luna’s eyes were red. “I’ve already called the police. How did

you end up like this?”

“He found out I had you call the police in less than two hours after our video call. Also, he had an accomplice,” Abigail whispered to Luna.

“When I received your message that day, I immediately called the police. Later, the police asked me to come to the police station… Do you think we’re being watched?” Luna sat by the hospital bed and asked.

Abigail hadn’t made any enemies recently, and Laura, who had exposed her relationship with Sean, had been sent to who knows where. Therefore, the possibility of Laura being behind this was slim.

Hey, do you think it might be the fake doctor from before?” Luna continued to ask.

“Even Sean couldn’t find out who he was,” Abigail replied.

At that moment, the door was pushed open, and Sean came with a lunchbox. His face had several band-aids, making him look a bit comical.

“Well then, I’ll leave for now. Take good care of yourself.” Luna stood up, reluctant to part with Abigail.

“Okay. We’ll stay in touch by phone.” Abigail nodded..

After Luna left, Sean opened the lunchbox and asked her, “Are you still in pain?”

“It’s better now,” Abigail replied.

“The kidnapper nearly died. His windpipe is damaged, so he can’t speak anymore.” Sean gave her the lunchbox.

“Would I get punished by the law?” Abigail asked.

Sean ran his fingers through her hair in comfort and explained, “You did it in self-defense, and this is not the man’s first crime. He actually kidnapped you from Ouisford to Cloudgrove.”

“They want to sell me to an industrial park in the neighboring country. Also, they have accomplices and are watching Luna’s every move. Then, Abigail told him about how she had Luna call the police but then got beaten up in less than two hours.

When Sean heard what she said, he touched her still slightly bruised cheek. “I’ll get to the bottom

of this. But from now on, I’ll let Cameron follow you.”

“No way.” Abigail immediately responded. She refused to have anyone from Sean following her.

“Be good. Do you want to wait until things are irreversible before you regret it?” Sean asked her.

“To tell you the truth. I am a bit averse to using people from your side, Abigail replied seriously.

“Well, your objection is heard and noted. However, you need to listen to me on this matter,” Sean spoke firmly.

Abigail got lucky this time. Although her opponent was a grown man, she almost managed to kill him. Perhaps the man thought he was stronger than Abigail because he was a man and underestimated her, leading to his miserable outcome. Nonetheless, such luck wouldn’t exist a second time.

Abigail had some difficulty in raising her hand, so Sean took the lunchbox and fed her.

Have you decided to give up because I didn’t give you a gift the last time?” Abigail suddenly inquired. NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.

Sean had been on a business trip during those few days. When Abigail hurt his feelings, he went to deal with the things he had left behind, deciding to immerse himself in work to forget about his sadness. “I haven’t given up. I just took a temporary break,” Sean replied.

“You deserved it,” Abigail retorted.

“Forget it. I didn’t expect you to give me anything. My only wish right now is that you’ll do well in any of

your endeavors, and such things won’t happen ever again.” Sean’s eyes were filled with endless gentleness.

He was filled with deep regret when he heard about Abigail’s incident. If he had called her every day like before, he would have quickly noticed that she was missing. Then, she wouldn’t have been taken to Cloudgrove and suffered so much.

“Let’s talk about this when you’ve caught the culprit.” Abigail said.

Sean hummed in response. Once he left the ward, his relaxed demeanor disappeared.

Cameron glanced at him.

“Look after her. If anything goes wrong, I’ll hold you responsible.” Sean left those cold words and walked away with the lunchbox.

When he returned to his car, he seemed gloomy. Actually, he suspected this was Kingston’s doing, but he didn’t have any definite proof.

After all, Abigail had a simple social circle and had only offended Laura. After Laurd exposed his

and Abigail’s relationship, he banned her from the industry. Therefore, no one would dare to help her do such things anymore.

But it was different for Kingston because he wasn’t as simple as he seemed.

Of course, Sean wouldn’t be able to touch him without any evidence.

Sean dialed a number with a dark expression on his face. The call was soon answered.

“Keep a close eye on Kingston’s movements and find a way to hack into his phone. I want to monitor his phone in real time!”

After he ended the call, he pinched his nose bridge, speculating in his mind. If Kingston is targeting Abigail, then what’s the reason? Is it only because I said I wanted to pursue Abigail, so he decided to do away with Abigail for Joan’s sake?

While Abigail was in the hospital, Eric brought a worker from the tea house to visit her.

“My name is Lynette Pearson, Josh’s cousin. I heard something happened to you, and since Josh couldn’t come, he asked me to visit you for him.” Lynette squeezed into the spot beside the bed, looking concerned.

Abigail had only met her briefly. Yet, the woman had come all the way from Pendorf, which was at surprise.
