Chapter 685 Growing Worse
Luna was completely oblivious to Abigail's presence.
"I need to find out who did this to me... I was pregnant. Where is my child? Abigail, where is mychild?!" Luna suddenly pushed Abigail away, her face filled with fear. "Where is my child?"
She clutched her stomach. "I was pregnant. Why is my belly gone? Am I living in a dream or reality?Abigail, are you only appearing in my dreams? You haven't come back for so long; you know, I'mscared! I'm scared to admit it, scared to tell you, scared to tell Josh..."
She paused for a moment.
"Josh... who is he?" Luna murmured slowly. "Josh... Josh..."
Tears continued to stream down her face, and she began to pull at her hair. "Why does mentioningthis person cause so much pain... Abigail, I'm in so much pain... It's unbearable... Let me die. I don'twant to live like this."
Abigail stepped forward, embracing Luna tightly, her eyes red. "Luna, everything is real now. It's allreal. If you can't remember, then don't dwell on it. Don't be sad and in pain. I'm with you, and I'll bewith you for the rest of my life!"
"My heart hurts so much..." Luna whispered.
Abigail patted her back. "It's okay, it's okay. I'm by your side, and that's what's real."
Luna leaned into Abigail's arms and whispered, "Just let me die..."
"You still have me; don't think like that," Abigail said, tears streaming down her face.
Luna's condition was worsening.
Abigail felt helpless. She didn't know what she should do.
She managed to coax Luna to sleep.
Abigail sat by her bedside, wide awake. How could she save Luna?
She picked up her phone and sent a message to Simond.
'Where are you?'
'In the shadows. I saw her condition, and it's worse than before. Has she been taking hermedication?'
'Yes, she finished one bottle of pills. It seems that regular antidepressants don't have much effect onher.'
Simond didn't immediately reply to her message.
Just when Abigail thought he wouldn't respond, he replied.
'How about... I take a sample of her blood and send it to the relevant department for testing?Without figuring out what's wrong, no medication will work in her condition.'
'Will that work? What if it scares her?'
'Give her a sleeping pill.'
Abigail looked at the message and realized that this was the only way. If Luna's condition worsenedone day, she might go out and come back to find Luna gone.
...
Abigail slept for four hours before waking up to prepare breakfast for Luna.
Luna had a restless night.
Before Abigail fell asleep, she was startled by Luna once.
She didn't know when Luna had woken up, but Luna was staring blankly at the ceiling, her eyescold, and her breathing very shallow. Abigail was quite frightened.
She called out to her, and it seemed like Luna had woken up, but then she closed her eyes againand continued to sleep as if nothing had happened.
After Abigail finished making breakfast, she saw Luna get up with a defeated look on her face,pacing around the living room.
"Go freshen up. It's time to eat," Abigail told her.
Luna stopped, and her lifeless eyes fell upon Abigail. She stared at Abigail for a while beforeasking, "Why... are you still here?"
"What's wrong?" Abigail was a bit puzzled.
"No..." Luna said, then walked towards the bathroom with a heavy heart.
Abigail felt a pang in her heart as she watched Luna's frail figure.
After Luna finished freshening up and returned to the living room, Abigail had already set the tablefor breakfast.
She had made eggs and pancakes. She didn't know how to make anything more complicated.novelbin
She had bought some pastries and coffee early in the morning.
Luna took a few bites but didn't seem to have an appetite.
"You need to eat more. Look at how thin you've become," Abigail said to her.
Luna could only force herself to eat more, but halfway through, she suddenly felt nauseous, so shegot up and hurried towards the bathroom.
Abigail followed her.
Luna leaned over the sink as she vomited continuously, and everything she had just eaten cameback up.
Abigail gently patted her back and handed her water to rinse her mouth.
Luna's face and eyes were red from vomiting, and she slowly leaned against Abigail.
She looked at her disheveled reflection in the mirror and started to laugh. "Abigail... look at me now,is there any reason to keep living? I've tried so hard, but everything I eat comes back up. I gethungry after I throw up; I eat again, throw up again, and feel hungry again... I want to get better, buthow can I?"
Abigail held her tightly. "We'll change the ingredients. I'll make something else for you."
"You're already exhausted. You stayed up so late last night to take care of me, I know... Abigail, letme go... my presence is tormenting you, tormenting everyone." Luna closed her eyes as she took ashallow breath.
"It's not possible, I won't give up on you!" Abigail declared immediately.
Luna gave her a bitter smile. "But I feel so weary. Can't you just release me? Every time I think ofdying, I think of you, and I can only fight to stay alive."
"Then just think of me! What would I do if you died? I would never find happiness in this life," Abigailsaid as she continued, "I would rather be the one with this illness. If I could, I would want to switchplaces with you!"
