Chapter 678 Let Bygones Be Bygones
Reprimanded by Abigail, Analise immediately let go of her hand and turned to Sean. "Why aren'tyou saying anything, Sean?"
"I think Abigail is right. You should come with us to the hospital tomorrow to see what's going on.What do you think?" Sean approached Analise, coaxing her in a gentle tone.
"Well, I'll listen to you guys then. After all, it would make you unhappy if I don't." After saying this,Analise turned around and walked away.
Abigail instructed Sean to follow her inside.
When it was just her and Lina, Abigail took a box out of her bag and handed it to her.
"What's this?" Lina was a bit surprised. She had always known that Abigail didn't like her. It hadbeen a long time since they last saw each other.
Now, upon her return, Abigail had shed her cold exterior like a polished jade stone. However, shestill seemed somewhat unapproachable.
"It's a gift. I bought it out of state. It's very pretty. Open it and try it on," Abigail said with a gentlesmile on her face.
Upon seeing her genuine smile, Lina quickly accepted the gift. However, she didn't open it. Instead,she looked at the box and asked nervously, "Are you still angry with me?"
"That's all in the past. We're all growing up, aren't we? Even though we're not young anymore,sometimes we're allowed to grow and learn again," Abigail said with a smile.
Lina held onto the box tightly. After a while, she said, "Abigail, I'm really sorry for what I did in thepast. I was so ignorant. I had prejudices against you from the start and hurt you. I was really cruel
back then."
"It's all in the past. Sean has been very kind to me these past two years. I think it can make up foryour past unfriendliness toward me." Abigail said softly. Her forgiveness of Lina was entirely due toSean's efforts to protect the ones she loved.
"Open it and take a look." Abigail moved a bit closer to her, urging her.
Blushing with embarrassment, Lina clumsily opened the box. Upon seeing the jade bracelet withgold inlay inside, she was immediately captivated. "This must be expensive, right?"
"Not at all. Sean and I earn enough money to make sure you guys can live comfortably and lacknothing, right?" Abigail picked up the bracelet and put it on her.
After Lina put on the bracelet and held it up to the light, her face lit up with joy. "It looks really good!"
Having seen many fine things in her life, she immediately recognized the bracelet as top-qualityjade.
"Let's go. Sean is cooking tonight. He's learned some really good culinary skills. I guarantee you'lllike it." Abigail took Lina's hand and spoke to her gently.
Lina grabbed Abigail's hand and pulled her aside, whispering, "Analise's eyes have been gettingworse lately. She went to the hospital for a check-up, and the doctor said her diabetes wasn't undercontrol. She's also a bit of a glutton... What I mean is, if it's not working out, you can take herabroad for treatment. We have Sean here with us."
Abigail nodded. "Thank you for telling me this."
"I've been keeping an eye on her blood sugar since she arrived. It was under control before, butsuddenly, there was a problem. When we took her to the doctor, the doctor only told her the results
and didn't tell me or your grandpa." Lina's care for Analise was also a way to make up for her pasttreatment of Abigail.
"Alright, I'll take her to the hospital for a check-up myself tomorrow." Abigail was well aware thatAnalise's condition had been well managed up to this point, and she had been trying very hard.
But diabetes was incurable.
She had previously refused to go to the hospital for insulin injections in order to save money, and ithad nearly cost her eyesight.
Even with good control, the disease could resurface at any time.
Upon returning home, Abigail presented Analise with a jade pendant, carefully placing it around herneck. It was an item she had specifically purchased and entrusted Ronaldo with for theconsecration.
Even if it only provided psychological comfort, it still held value.
"Why did you buy this? Do you have excess money to spend?" Analise said, although she wasactually beaming with joy.
People of all ages would be delighted to receive gifts from their loved ones.
Abigail gently stroked the pendant and remarked, "Grandma, don't you believe in this the most? Areyou familiar with the renowned God statue in Eastbay? I arranged for someone to place thispendant under the statue for a month, praying for your good health."
Upon hearing this, Analise stopped complaining. She touched the pendant and smiled happily. "Iheard the God statue in Eastbay is a real deity based on a true story. You have good taste."
"Abigail, can you come help me in the kitchen?" Sean suddenly called out.
"You all can rest today. Leave the kitchen to Sean and me." Abigail immediately stood up.
This was the family scene she had always hoped for. And now, it had finally become a reality.novelbin
As Abigail entered the kitchen, she observed Sean bustling about. At that moment, an idea formedin her mind—she longed to share a lifetime of happiness with Sean.
But before that, she had to deal with Luna's situation.
She didn't want Sean to take any more risks; she had almost lost him once, and she couldn't affordto lose him again.
Sean had been preparing the ingredients for a long time. He had learned from Alice and was veryparticular about the materials.
"I obtained a diabetes treatment recipe from Alice. Whether it works or not, let's give it to Grandmafirst. What do you think?" Sean asked Abigail while skillfully slicing salmon.
