CHAPTER 715 REGRET
Would things have turned out differently if she had never left Luna? Could she have prevented the tragedy?
Sean gently held Abigail's hand against his face. For the first time, his eyes were filled with sorrow. "Did you... say you were busy with work because of her? I'm sorry. I shouldn't have been angry with you."
Abigail shook her head gently, tears continuing to fall from her eyes. She opened her mouth to speak, but in the end, she gave up.
She couldn't find the words...
When Cameron arrived, Sean stood up and said to him, "Take care of her for a while. I have to go out and handle something. I'll be back soon."
"Okay." Cameron also felt heavy-hearted.
Abigail seemed to have fallen ill in an instant as she lay on the hospital bed, devoid of any vitality.
After Sean left, Cameron sat by the bed and slowly peeled fruit for her.
Abigail stared at the ceiling, her eyes empty.
"Abigail..." Cameron called out, unsure of what to say. He never imagined that Luna would suddenly pass away. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
Abigail ignored him and continued to stare blankly at the ceiling.
Cameron's eyes reddened. He kept peeling the fruit, then suddenly stabbed the knife into it. "You can't stay like this. You have to find out who killed Luna and seek justice for her!"
Abigail wanted to, but she felt as if all her strength had been drained.
She wanted to pull herself together, but she couldn't.
…
Sean returned to the Pearsons' residence.
As expected, Vincent was gloating, while Lawrence kept trying to call Josh but couldn't get through.
Scarlett, upon seeing Sean's return, rushed up to him with red eyes. "Is it true about Luna?"
Sean had originally planned to keep it from them until he had discussed it with Josh in Saraville.
Unfortunately, Vincent's arrival was very "timely."
Vincent stood up from the couch with a smile when he saw Sean. "Were you planning to hide it from them? Unfortunately, you can't. Luna's death will completely ruin Josh. Do you think the Pearsons' assets will be handed over to you?"
Sean walked over and punched Vincent in the face.
Scarlett screamed. She wanted to pull Sean away, but Lawrence stopped her.
Sean punched Vincent until his nose bled. As soon as he fell to the ground, Sean grabbed his collar and punched him again.
"How many more people do you want to kill for money?!" Sean glared at him, his eyes bloodshot.
Vincent, with a swollen face, laughed. "I wouldn't hesitate to kill all of you. If you dare, get someone to arrest me! Sean, you're destined to lose. You have no idea who you're dealing with. You'll watch
the important people around you die one by one. Your beloved grandmother, Abigail's best friend Luna, who's next? Maybe Josh!"
Sean kicked him hard in the stomach.
Vincent was kicked to the ground, clutching his stomach in pain. Then, he started laughing. "Even if you kill me, it's useless, Sean... I'm just a small fry. What's the use of hitting me? Instead of venting your anger on me, why not save it and find the murderer who killed Luna?"
Sean stepped on his chest. "I won't kill you. I want you to live in pain for the rest of your life!"
Upon hearing this, Lawrence immediately stepped forward to pull Sean away. "There's no need to ruin your life for someone like him. If not for yourself, think about Abigail. Think about your future."
Sean lightened his foot a little, but soon stomped down hard again. "You will regret this one day!"
He didn't believe that evil could triumph over righteousness!
Lawrence pulled Sean aside, his face serious. "I'm afraid you and Abby need to see Josh. I've been calling his phone, and no one's answering. I'm afraid he might do something reckless."
"Abby's not in a good state right now. I don't know if she can go," Sean said. Abigail's condition was similar to Josh's.
Lawrence lowered his voice and said, "The company still relies on Josh. If something were to happen to him, the shareholders might start searching for a replacement. I am getting old now. Even if I return to support the company, I won't be able to do it for many years."
To be honest, Lawrence was also deeply saddened by the news of Luna's death.
Both he and Scarlett had treated Luna like their own daughter. Even though she had broken up with Josh, she still had a close relationship with Abigail.
Her sudden death was a devastating blow to their family.
"I will talk to Abby and see if she can gather herself," Sean said, thinking about Abigail's state and worrying that she might never recover.
Scarlett, with red eyes, was completely bewildered.
Sean went back to the hospital.
Cameron stood by the door and whispered, "She has been staring at the ceiling, lost in thought. I told her to pull herself together, but she said she couldn't. Do you think... she has been so deeply affected that she has suddenly lost all her motivation?"
"It's possible. How many of your security personnel are available? We might need to assign them to me," Sean said, glancing around the room at Abigail, whose expression was vacant.
Luna's departure made him realize just how precarious their situation was.
