The Spare Wife (Abigail Quinn and Sean Graham)
Chapter 348

Chapter 348 He Looks Like Abigail's Brother

The next day, when Kelly arrived at Metro Hospital, Josh got out of another car. She hadn't. mentioned her visit to the library that morning. Instead, she told her brother she was meeting at friend and asked him not to worry. Initially, he had no intentions of following her, but he couldn't help himself.

His suspicions grew as he followed his sister. She had only been in Pendorf for a few days, making it unlikely that she had formed a deep connection with someone so quickly. Furthermore, her carly morning visit to the hotel for breakfast indicated that this friend held significant importance in her life.

Josh followed Kelly into the hospital and eventually saw her entering Room 602. He approached the payment counter and asked the doctor sincerely, "Excuse me, has the fee for Room 602 not been paid? My sister said her friend staying in this room hadn't settled the bill yet and asked me to help pay it. However, I'm not sure if this is the right room or not. Could you please check it for me?"

The doctor searched on the computer for a moment and then replied, "Are you sure you are not mistaken? An elderly lady occupies room 602. There's no way your sister's friend would be that old." Josh expressed his confusion, stating, "But I just saw her entering Room 602. She even told me to make the payment."

After a brief silence, the doctor said, "Sir, the patient in Room 602 is a special case and doesn't need to pay. Your sister must have made a mistake. I suggest you ask her about it."

"Thank you. I'll ask her about it." Then, Josh turned around and left. He wandered through the hospital corridors, devoting about half an hour to exploring the facility. During his investigation. he uncovered the exclusive nature of the wards in Building 1. These rooms were exclusively reserved for affluent individuals who had either invested in or made significant contributions to the hospital. Remarkably, patients on the sixth floor or higher were exempt from any admission fees.

In Pendorf, only three people could stay on the sixth floor. Among these, two were unknown to him, while the third was Sean. After laying eyes on Sean's name on the directory, Josh fell into contemplative silence. He carefully pocketed his phone and, with determination, headed toward Room 602.

Inside the ward, Kelly engaged in a conversation with Lina. Suddenly, Josh appeared at the door and asked, "What are you doing here, Kelly?" Having previously investigated Abigail, he was well- acquainted with the Grahams, thus recognizing Lina.

Kelly turned around and was surprised to see him, "Josh, did you follow me here?"

He nodded, and his gaze wandered briefly over Lina before fixing it back on Kelly. "I was worried

about you. After all, you're not familiar with Pendorf."

Kelly stood up and smiled. "I'm not a child anymore. I used to handle things on my own when you weren't around. I've grown up. By the way, this is Sean's grandmother, Old Mrs. Graham."

"Are you Kelly's brother? You both are so good-looking." Lina smiled as she looked at Josh. However, a hint of contempt flickered within her. After all, he bore an uncanny resemblance to Abigail. In that fleeting moment, Lina wondered if he was indeed Kelly's brother rather than Abigail's.

He had no particular fondness for Lina, and he politely nodded in response to her comment. "Thank you."

"Old Mrs. Graham had been kidnapped a few days ago, leading to her hospitalization due to severe shock. Since she is still recovering, I decided to come and take care of her," Kelly explained to Josh softly. There was no sign of guilt in her expression. Despite her awareness of his lack of knowledge regarding the situation, she remained unfazed.

"This hospital offers great medical care. The medical staff can take care of Old Mrs. Graham better than you," Josh expressed his discomfort with his sister taking care of Lina in the hospital. He wondered whether Kelly was oblivious to Sean's apparent disapproval of their family.

"Kelly is more considerate than the nurses, and her company means a lot to me," Lina said with a smile despite her reservations about his resemblance to Abigail. Inwardly, she reminded herself that he was, in fact, Kelly's brother, and their similar appearances were merely a coincidence.

Josh smiled and said nothing.

Only when Lina fell asleep after receiving her IV did he discreetly motion for Kelly to step outside the room. As they stood at the entrance of the emergency exit, he regarded her with a puzzled expression. “I don't quite grasp why you came to Pendorf," he admitted.

She replied, "Well, it's all about clearing up the misunderstanding, isn't it? Did you think I visited Old Mrs. Graham because of Sean?" She appeared hurt by his lack of understanding.

Josh's expression softened, and he continued, "Nevertheless, you should have informed me about. your plans. Do you know who Sean is? Aren't you afraid you'll provoke him by suddenly getting close to his grandmother?"

"I haven't done anything wrong. Besides, Sean's not an unreasonable person, is he? He already knows that Uncle Vincent is responsible for everything. He wouldn't harm me," Kelly explained while lowering her gaze. It was the first time she had stood her ground and refused to take the

blame.

He considered her words for a moment and then asked, "Kelly, could you please keep me informed about your future plans? And how does winning over Old Mrs. Graham relate to resolving the misunderstanding between us and Abigail?" He genuinely couldn't grasp the significance of her approach.

Kelly confidently responded, "Sean was the one who investigated this matter and knows the truth By building a good relationship with him, he can advocate for us in front of Abigail. If she trusts someone he trusts, it might help bridge the gap between us. Since she doesn't believe in six, we need someone she can trust to support our case."
