Abigail’s Second Life (Abigail and Sean)
Chapter 680 The Courage To Love Someone

Upon hearing Colby's words, Abigail felt a twinge of embarrassment. However, that was indeed how she felt at that time. She longed for love and yearned to marry Sean. Due to her deep infatuation, she worked hard to win his hand in marriage. However, she soon experienced the bitter consequences of being infatuated with love.

Hearing this, Sean subconsciously glanced at Abigail, and a wave of guilt surged within him.

No matter what, the past three years had become a permanent source of regret for him. No matter how much he tried to make up for it, the fact that Abigail had gone through a challenging time during those three years was undeniable. If he truly didn't love her, she might never trust men or believe in marriage again. She might even choose to live alone.

"But that's how life is. Without encountering mistakes, you won't have a smooth journey in the future," Colby comforted Sean. "The most valuable thing for a man is acknowledging his past mistakes and making amends. Women are different from us."

"How are we different?" Lina muttered.

"If you don't understand at your age, it's useless for me to explain," Colby replied.

Some things were better left unsaid. To be honest, married women only had one wish, and that was for their husbands to love them. This was also the reason why many women struggled in marriage and found it difficult to get a divorce. After all, when the man who made a mistake said they were wrong and would never do it again, most women would still choose to stay with him after much deliberation.

"Hmph!" Lina didn't want to argue with him. She thought for a while before deliberately rolling up her sleeves, revealing her jade bracelet. Then, she intentionally grabbed the food in front of Colby to catch his attention.

The bracelet was so eye-catching that Colby immediately noticed it.

"This bracelet is lovely. Where did you buy it?" he asked.

Lina proudly showed it off and replied, "Abigail bought it for me. Both Analise and I have one."

"Really? Abigail has good taste. The jade is of excellent quality, and the design is perfect. It must have been expensive." Colby never felt jealous about these matters. He was happy that Abigail and Lina's misunderstandings were now resolved.

"It's not that expensive," Abigail replied.

The family chatted while eating. Soon, it was 9 p.m.

After Abigail finished eating, she received a call from Simond. She quietly walked to the yard and answered his call.

"I have to stay with the elderly for a few days. I'll let you know when it's time to go to Saraville," Abigail said as she sat in the yard.

Simond replied, "You better hurry. If they target Luna, the longer you delay, the more they can manipulate the situation."

Abigail didn't immediately respond as she fell into deep thought.

Noticing her silence, Simond couldn't help but ask, "Why aren't you saying anything?"

"Sean almost lost his life because of this matter. Simond, if you work with me, I might sacrifice you for my own sake. I can be very selfish at times, especially when it comes to the people I love." Abigail had pondered these words for a long time. She chose to be clear with Simond today, hoping that he could think it through and give him a chance to back out of this.

After hearing what she had to say, Simond chuckled. "Why can't I be the one who sacrifices you? While you can sacrifice me for love and friendship, I can also do it for my own benefit. Though, it's good to be clear about it. That way, I won't feel guilty when I sacrifice you."

Abigail smiled slightly and said, "Okay. I'll rely on you to keep it a secret."

Sean had done so much for her, and she hoped he would be alright. Thus, she could only count on herself and Simond to save Luna.

After a while, Abigail ended the phone call. As she stood up and turned around, she noticed Sean standing nearby. Catching his gaze, Abigail couldn't help but feel a twinge of guilt.

Approaching him, she locked eyes with Sean and asked, "Why aren't you resting?"

"It's still early," Sean replied. His happiness today had been slightly dampened by the fact that Abigail had sneaked out to make a call. He had noticed that she would avoid him whenever she made calls or sen messages. He couldn't understand why and wondered if it was because he hadn't yet done enough to earn her complete trust.

"It's just work-related," Abigail instinctively explained.

Sean would have preferred if she hadn't explained at all. After all, the more she explained, the guiltier she seemed.

Nevertheless, Sean nodded and inquired, "Is it taken care of?"

"Yes." Just as Abigail was about to put her phone away, it beeped, indicating a new message.

Feeling slightly awkward, Abigail looked at Sean and said, "Let me check."

Stepping back, Sean replied, "Go ahead."

Observing his actions, Abigail momentarily found herself at a loss for words. She retrieved her phone and saw a message from Ronaldo.

'The child is in critical condition. I've taken him to the hospital, but they say his condition is rare. What should we do?'

'What exactly happened?'

As Abigail sent the message, her expression turned serious.

Meanwhile, Sean felt a tightness in his chest as he witnessed her change in demeanor.
