Abigail’s Second Life (Abigail and Sean)
Chapter 771 I Can't Go Back

After striving for so long, Abigail thought she could finally go back to her loved one, only to end up with this outcome.

"It's in the past now. You need to look forward. Life is still long," Martin comforted Abigail like an elder.

Abigail reached out and embraced him, whispering, "I really liked him... From when we were young, I've liked him until now. We've argued, we've divorced because we didn't understand each other... He persistently pursued me just to make me forgive his past mistakes. He risked his life to save my best friend... This time, he spent over two hundred billion, just wanting to take me home..."

She sobbed uncontrollably, gasping for breath between cries.

"Martin, my heart really hurts. It feels like it's been pierced by something. It hurts so much," Abigail said, releasing him and looking at him through tear-filled eyes.

"It's alright... it's alright. It will pass. Everything will pass." Martin had never loved so deeply. He had memories of Alice, while regrets and unwillingness towards his wife.

But with time, he slowly let go of these emotions.

In one's lifetime, what couldn't be forgotten?

Suffering was always temporary; continually forgetting was the reality.

After crying her heart out this one time, Abigail never mentioned Sean again.

A week later, she found Simond.

"Do you have a phone?" She still couldn't see but had gotten used to the darkness.

Simond looked at her with a cigarette in his mouth. "Why?"

"I want to call Grandma. She'll be worried if I don't go back. She's almost eighty and hasn't seen me in two years," Abigail said softly, well aware that Simond would not allow her to go back, so she could only make a phone call.

With Sean no longer a threat, Simond was not concerned about Abigail contacting anyone.

"We will arrive shortly, so make the call quickly." Simond handed her the phone.

Abigail, feeling the touch screen, couldn't help but say, "Dial for me."

"You don't even like me, yet you always bother me!" Simond grew impatient again.

She looked at him with her unseeing eyes.

Simond was irritated. He bit his cigarette, unlocked the phone, and asked, "What's the number?"

Abigail Gave him a series of digits, and Simond dialed for her.

Soon, the call was connected.

"Grandma..." Abigail spoke softly.

Analise was momentarily stunned, then exclaimed, "Abigail, where have you been for so long?!"

"I'm abroad, and I may not be able to return for a while. Can you go to Capitalis for me and tell Josh to sell L.Moon and Fairy Meadow? Whatever amount from the sale, give it all to Sean," Abigail said softly. "Why do you want to sell the company out of the blue?!" Analise became anxious. "Do you know that Sean's company is in trouble? The funding chain has broken, former partners have withdrawn, everyone is turning against him, and you still won't come back?!"

Abigail covered her mouth. She hesitated for a moment before saying, "That's why I want to sell the company."

"Selling your company won't be enough. I heard it's several hundred billion. I don't know what business he did to dig such a big hole. Your Grandfather auctioned off the house in Pendorf, but it's not worth much." Analise's voice was filled with anxiety.

"Then don't tell Josh. Just stay well at home." Abigail felt it wasn't safe for Grandma to go to the Capitalis alone, as she had finally returned home.

"Oh dear, please call Sean and let him know. Sean's Grandfather is staying with me. He's unwell and has been admitted to the hospital. I'm not sure if he'll pull through. You should come back and see him," Analise said gently.

Abigail couldn't go on. She took a deep breath and tried to compose herself, "Grandma, I can't go back. I—."

"Why can't you come back? What's stopping you? Sean's Grandfather is at death's door. He's worried about debts, and he's lost a lot of weight. Abigail, if you still consider me your Grandma, you must come back!" Analise became angry.

"Grandma, I really can't go back." Abigail began to cry. "I just can't go back."

Analise seemed to realize something, paused for a moment, and then said, "Abigail, what's happened to you?"

"I'm fine. It's just that I can't come back. Grandma, let me tell you some good news. Luna has had a baby, a very beautiful one, almost a year old now, and he's calling me Mom..." At this point, Abigail couldn't continue.

She covered her mouth and choked softly. "Grandma, I'm sorry for Sean. He is in debt because of me. I have to sell the company to help him through this tough time, even if we can't be together." She was afraid that if she didn't speak up this time, she might not have another chance.

"Abigail, what's wrong? Tell me, don't make me worry. Luna hasn't returned for a long time. Who is the father of her child? Why haven't we heard about her getting married?" Analise asked anxiously. "Grandma, please take care of Grandfather. I'm fine out here. Everything is under control. Luna has some issues and can't come back right now." Abigail choked out.

Analise also started crying, "Why do you all worry me so much? None of you let me have peace of mind."
