Chapter 743 Her Longing Has Grown Deeper
In that case, Emma's safety might still be at risk.
While having another child is a possibility, once the money is gone, it becomes difficult to earn itback. After all, they had operated the business for years. They will definitely try their best to keep itrunning, even if it means sacrificing more lives.
After careful consideration, Josh spoke in a deep voice, "Eric, It's a favor to me that Emma canprovide you with some information. However, you must not ask too much of her. If her family truly isinvolved in this, that means they're also a family of demons. Do you expect a money-minded demonto show her mercy?"
Eric started to feel a sense of fear from his words. "Josh, I'm a little scared. It seems like the policecan't find anything. How many people do you think were involved to completely cover it up likethis?"
Upon hearing that, Josh approached him and patted his shoulder. "Tell Emma to be careful. As forthe rest, take it slow."
I understand Eric's mindset very well. Being caught in the network of interests, he knows howgreedy and ugly human nature can be. But what terrifies him the most now is that his own familymight be connected to this matter. That's why he finds it hard to accept.
Eric hummed in response.
At this moment, the doorbell rang. It was the food delivery guy.
Despite having already eaten, Josh still stayed and had some with Eric.
Before leaving, Eric couldn't help but grab Josh's sleeve. "Josh, if you really want me to help, I willfind a way to get Emma to confirm it."
"It's fine." Josh looked at him gratefully. "Your priority is Emma's safety. As for Luna, maybe Emmahad made a mistake. I witnessed Luna's burial with my own eyes, after all."
As he spoke, his eyes instantly welled up with tears.
Eric watched him leave with a heavy heart. Unable to hold back, he caught up with him. "Hang inthere, Josh. Don't be too sad."
He knew very well Luna's passing not only brought pain to Josh but also to Abigail.
"I know." Josh's voice sounded slightly strained.
"Josh, call me if you need anything." Eric looked at him with sincere eyes.
"Sure. Thanks," Josh said and left.
Eric returned to the room and sat for a long time. When he looked up, his expression becameparticularly determined.
"Josh, Abigail… if it really was someone from my family who harmed your loved ones, I will takesome responsibility for it," he murmured.
Early the next morning, Abigail checked her phone, intending to check the situation back home.Suddenly, a trending headline popped up.
'Eric Davidson is suspected to have a major accident at a hotel. His life and death remain unknown.'
However, Abigail didn't have much emotional fluctuation. She messaged Josh.
'Did Eric really have an accident?'
Since she was far away, she couldn't return and check on Eric. Hence, she figured she would calland ask him about his condition once the news was confirmed.
'Yes. It's serious.'
'What happened exactly? Will it affect his acting career?'
'He's disfigured… He said the floor tiles were too slippery, so he slipped and hit his face on theground. He's currently in the hospital.'
Abigail could hardly believe the explanation. The hotel floor tiles were too slippery? Seriously? ButEric stays at the finest hotel.
'Uhm…'
She was bereft of speech. Could this truly reflect the saying that when one is unlucky, everythingcan be against them?
'It's okay. I'll check on Eric once he wakes up. No one can enter the ward where he's staying rightnow. The media and paparazzi are all waiting outside.'
After Abigail replied, she realized how many things had happened this year.
From Alice's passing, me parting ways with Ronaldo, to Luna leaving, and now Eric accidentallyfalling on his face.
It seems like everyone around me isn't doing well.
Now that I will be able to see Sean in two days, I can feel the longing that has been trapped insideme seem to be intensifying. Oh, how I wish these two days could pass quickly!
Abigail put her phone away and focused on preparing breakfast.
Before she could finish, Martin hurriedly came downstairs. Standing by the kitchen door, heinstructed Abigail, "Get ready quickly and take Larry away. Someone's coming over."novelbin
"What's happening?" Abigail was slightly confounded. Didn't Martin inform his business partnerabout him having a visitor?
"It's not just any business partner. I received some confidential information that someone else iscoming to inspect. I'm not sure if it will be risky for you, but owning a gun is legal here. You knowwhat that means, right?" Martin was extremely anxious.
Abigail hummed. She couldn't worry about too much at the moment and immediately left thekitchen.
Martin escorted her out through the back door. "Stay in touch. The people through this back doorwon't breathe a word about this. Don't worry. Stay safe."
"Thank you." Abigail expressed her gratitude.
"No need to thank me. Hurry up and go. Otherwise, you can't make it out," Martin urged.
…
Abigail walked down the street with her bag and found a hotel. After checking in, she messagedSimond.
'There's been a slight issue on Martin's side. I'm in a hotel now. Are you still in Perou?'
'Yeah, I'm still here. By the way, Kevin also came over. He's with me now. Which hotel are you at?Send me the address.'
Abigail was surprised as she didn't expect Kevin to come to Perou without informing her.
She sent Simond the address.
Not long after, Simond and Kevin arrived.
Abigail opened the door and immediately looked at Kevin, who was smiling as if he owed her anexplanation. "You came and didn't say anything?"
"Sean asked me to come. He was concerned about your safety, so he asked me to watch over yousilently." Kevin's tone was casual.
The door was closed.
As Abigail heard him mention Sean, her longing grew even deeper.
