CHAPTER 769 CHOOSE HER
Abigail was sent to the hospital in a daze, feeling like her life was coming to an end.
She was admitted directly to the ICU.
Martin also participated in the tests with the help of Simond.
In just two days, Abigail's condition was confirmed. It was indeed the seafood that was not cooked properly, carrying parasites that invaded her body.
Abigail stayed in the ICU for a week until Martin developed a particular medicine. As he injected the medicine into Abigail's body, he reassured her, "It's okay. You'll wake up soon."
Simond stood on the side, unable to help but sigh.
Abigail would have to stay in the hospital for a while longer, which was a waste of time. In fact, there was a chance she might be caught by Sean's men, leading to a fierce battle.
With these thoughts in mind, Simond left the ICU.
Back on the ship, he went straight to the kitchen, found the head chef, and slapped him across the face. "How do you cook? The seafood was not even fully cooked, and someone ended up in the ICU. I've said it before: there's a woman on this ship, so everything must be extra careful. Did I not make myself clear?"
The head chef remained silent, just bowing his head.
After venting his anger, Simond went downstairs with a stern face and told Henri, "Get ready. Sean may have already discovered us. If anything seems off, don't hold back. Kill if you must!"
Abigail had already caused too much delay; they couldn't let Sean waste any more of their time!
"Yes!" Henri nodded.
…
In fact, Sean had been informed as soon as Simond's ship neared the shore.
Given Simond's extensive experience in naval warfare and his background as a mercenary, Sean didn't dare to show himself rashly, so he had to make arrangements first. What made him angry was that he heard Abigail was seriously ill and had been admitted to the ICU. That b*stard Simond!
After nearly ten days of preparation, Sean felt it was time to take action.
Xavien held a tablet, said with a solemn face, "Everything's ready. They've let their guard down these past few days. We can make our move tonight."
"Okay." Sean nodded, then asked, "You know which ward she's in at the hospital, right?"
"Yes. I've already had someone sneak in." Xavien nodded.
In the dead of night, gunfire erupted along the coast.
The continuous gunfire made the nearby residents and fishermen take cover.
Simond's men suffered many casualties, but he didn't panic.
Abigail woke up from the shock, screaming, "Simond!"
One of the doctors pulled down his mask. "Who are you calling for?!"
Hearing Kevin's voice, Abigail was surprised. "How did you get here?!"
"I'm here to rescue you!" Kevin whispered, "Don't yell. We'll be able to leave here soon."
Abigail was about to agree, but then she thought of Larry and immediately shook her head. "I'm not leaving. I want to see Simond!"
"Are you crazy?! Sean spent over two hundred billion to save you. If you go back to Simond, he won't have any money left to find you again!" Kevin thought Abigail was truly ungrateful.
Abigail was stunned for a moment but soon said firmly, "I need to see Simond!" holds © this.
Kevin looked at her in disbelief. "Tell me! Who is more important to you?!"
Before she could answer, a gunman in front of them blocked their way.
The man didn't hesitate and started shooting at Kevin. He immediately crouched down and rolled into a nearby ward.
Abigail shouted, "Don't shoot. I want to go see Simond!"
The man walked over and pushed her hospital bed away.
Kevin, in the ward, leaned against the wall, filled with rage.
Sean's efforts are all in vain... Abigail voluntarily chose to go with Simond!
Assisted, Abigail was escorted outside, her face pale as she entered the car.
Upon arrival at the coast, everyone was aware of Abigail's presence, and all fires were put out.
Sean had already received Kevin's message that Abigail was unwilling to leave. She insisted on meeting Simond.
Though filled with disappointment, Sean still clung to a glimmer of hope.
In the moonlight, Simond stood on the deck of the ship. His lips curled up as he watched Abigail emerge from the white car.
His coat flapped in the wind, and he stood there like the king of the sea, whistling to Abigail. "Come here yourself, and I won't involve Sean."
Abigail was well aware that he was issuing a threat.
Larry was still in his possession, along with Andrew and Martin. She had no other option.
Andrew and Martin had risked their lives to save her from two bullets, and Larry was Luna's child. All of them were now more significant to Abigail than Sean.
Unable to face Sean, she gritted her teeth and declared, "I'm sorry. I choose to go with Simond. Don't try to rescue me."
She wished her vision was clearer at that moment so she could gaze at Sean.
Just one glance would suffice. Despite their previous disagreements, she never ceased to miss him.
Sean already knew the answer, but hearing it directly still felt absurd. After a brief silence, he responded to Abigail, "Alright."
Supported by others, Abigail slowly approached the massive ship.
Simond disembarked and approached her, taking her hand. "Let's go," he said.
As he spoke, he shot Sean a challenging look.
Sean tightened his grip on the gun, watching as Abigail boarded the ship. He felt like a fool that was abandoned by her.
