CHAPTER 793 A LIGHT DREAM

When Abigail woke up, she found herself lying in Analise's old house. Josh sat beside her, looking worried.

"Josh..." Abigail's eyes reddened as she still could not accept the sudden news of Analise's passing.

Josh held her hand. His eyes were bloodshot as he said, "After you left, Grandma fell ill several times, but it was also due to missing you. I took her for a few check-ups then, and the doctor said she was holding on to see you one last time."

Tears streamed down Abigail's eyes as she choked back a sob, unable to speak. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

"Abigail, Grandma passed away peacefully. She is almost eighty years old, and she died without any illness or pain. It's a good thing. Don't be too sad, okay?" Josh rubbed her hand and comforted her gently.

Abigail nodded slightly. She sniffled and said nothing.

One needed to take time to accept the fact that a loved one passed away, even for someone as strong-willed as Abigail.

"Rest well. The doctor examined you and said you haven't been sleeping well. If this continues, it's not good for your health," Josh said, feeling powerless.

Analise passed away all of a sudden. She didn't even leave any words behind.

"Josh, please help me handle Grandma's affairs for now. I might need some time to recover." Abigail just couldn't find the motivation to do anything right now.

"Okay." Josh tucked her hand under the blanket.

Abigail drifted into sleep as she closed her eyes again. She dreamt of Analise sitting in the yard, chatting softly with her.

When she woke up, it was already the next morning.

Abigail lay in bed quietly for a long time. Slowly, she finally accepted the fact that Analise had passed away. The dream felt like it was Analise's final farewell to her.

In the dream, she truly felt happiness. Whether it was her imagination or not, Abigail understood that Analise would not return, and she would surely want her to live well.

People always leave at some point. As Josh said, Grandma passed away peacefully, which is a good thing.

After getting up, Abigail made breakfast and continued Analise's unfinished tasks, thinking she would return here to retire after Luna's affairs were settled.

She worked alone in the yard until noon, finally clearing all the weeds. She piled the weeds together and set them on fire. Then, she sat in the yard with a small chair and searched on her phone for what flowers to plant.

When Sean arrived, he saw Abigail sitting in the yard. She was slightly hunched over. Her back and forearm muscles were slightly bulging, making her look sexier than before.

She was quiet, not as sad as he had imagined. However, Sean heard from Josh that Analise had passed away peacefully, seemingly as if she had just fallen asleep.

As people grew old, there would eventually come a day when they had to leave the world.

Sean stood by the door and gently knocked.

Abigail turned her head and was stunned when she saw Sean.

With just that one glance, neither of them said a word. It felt like they had been through thick and thin to meet again finally. There was a strange feeling of timidity and a desire to be close.

After a while, Abigail stood up and asked calmly, "Are you here to see Grandma? She is in the hospital's mortuary."

The date for the cremation had not been arranged yet.

Sean returned to his senses and frowned as he looked at the fire burning in the yard. He couldn't quite remember the last time he had come here. Back then, the garden was full of flowers. However, the yard was now bare, devoid of any greenery. It was like an elderly person in their twilight years, eventually turning into a handful of dust.

Walking into the yard, Sean looked at Abigail and whispered, "Please inform me when the funeral day is set."

After all, both of their families had known each other for a long time. Josh notified all of Abigail's acquaintances, suggesting that the Grahams should also send their condolences.

Abigail nodded in acknowledgment and then returned to her phone, choosing not to engage in further conversation.

Although Sean had countless thoughts, he chose to keep them to himself due to her silence.

After he left quietly, Abigail gazed back at the yard gate and was in a daze. She always believed that Sean had visited her at the hospital gate. Yet, she now realized it was merely a figment of her imagination.

After settling Analise's affairs, Abigail and Josh returned to Capitalis. Throughout this period, she and Sean had not exchanged a single word with each other.

Feeling that their relationship had come to an end, Abigail decided it was best not to disrupt his life any further.

On her first day back to L. Moon, Abigail was greeted with utter chaos in the company.

Before entering the office, she could hear the sounds of laughter and chatter emanating from within.

"I prefer Dawson Tucker. Ever since Eric left the entertainment industry, it seems to have lost its charm. Dawson stands out as one of the most talented young actors of the new generation, don't you think?"

"What's so special about him? It's all just hype! I visited his crew set once to design costumes, and he was quite arrogant. He is not my cup of tea!"

"Oh, please. How many of your favorites are compatible with mine?"
