Chapter 797 It's Time to Let Go
"I'll go to the car and get you a bottle of water," Josh said, pulling Xavien, who didn't want to leave,and dragging him away.
Sean watched as Abigail retched for half a day without vomiting. He reached out and gently pattedher back.
Abigail's body stiffened. Even though she was very reluctant, she quickly pushed him away. "Thankyou, Mr. Graham."
...
While Josh was still chatting with Xavien, Abigail's slender figure approached.
He paused for a moment and looked behind her but did not see Sean.
Abigail walked up to him, took the mineral water from his hand, twisted the bottle cap, and walkedtoward the flower bed.
Xavien got into the car.
Josh watched him drive off to pick up Sean, sighing helplessly.
It wasn't until Abigail got into the car that he spoke up, "Did you talk to Sean?"
"About what?" Abigail asked back.
Josh scratched his head, pondered for a moment, and then slowly said, "About what happened inthe past six months. You should explain things. Are you just giving up without explaining anything?"
"He already has a girlfriend. What else is there to explain? I didn't want to live like I did because ofJoan. I don't want to be that kind of person. We are all adults now. Since we have chosen to break
up, let's move on." Abigail looked out the window, the light from the street lamps occasionally fallingon her face, making her look very calm.
"You say you're moving on, but you've been drinking heavily. Is that your way of moving on?" Joshasked with a hint of concern in his voice.
Because he was her brother, he understood why Abigail was behaving this way.
"Drinking is just part of socializing. The company is a mess, and I still have to apologize to somepeople." Abigail raised her hand to her temple.
At this, Josh's face showed a hint of guilt. "I really don't have time to manage your company. Seandid a better job."
Abigail nodded. "It's okay, you've been looking after it. That's enough."
Back at home, Abigail felt a bit of stomach pain, so she poured herself a glass of hot water. Shetook several sips before feeling a bit better.
Lying on the couch, Abigail looked at Andrew.
Andrew was still watching anime, and it took him a while to realize that Abigail was looking at him.He instinctively turned around, looking puzzled. "What's wrong?"
"You focus on your show. Don't mind me." Abigail said softly.
"Why shouldn't I mind? Are you having stomach pain?" Andrew asked with concern as he noticedher hand on her abdomen.
Abigail lowered her hand. "It's not that bad. I just drank some water; I'll be fine."
"I'll look for some medicine for you," Andrew said, pausing the TV and wheeling himself to thecabinet to search for medicine.
"Andrew, has your father discussed with you how you're going to arrange things?" Abigail felt thathe was not a priority here, especially since she still had to take him to the hospital for his leg.
"He said he's contacting the hospital, and once he gets through, he'll take me there for treatment,"Andrew pulled out a box of medicine, casually responding to Abigail.
"That's great. Once your leg is healed, you'll be able to run around on your own," Abigail reallyhoped Andrew could stand up again, even though the hope seemed slim.
Andrew poured her another glass of water and slowly moved the medicine to her side.
Abigail sat up, took the medicine, leaned back on the couch, and let Andrew continue watching theshow.
"You seem upset. Is it because you saw someone you like?" Andrew used to always think aboutbeing with Abigail, but after the incident with Simond, he slowly changed his mind.
He couldn't quite describe his feelings for Abigail, but he would still do a lot for her, even though thefeeling of liking her was slowly fading.
Along the way, they had indeed supported each other, but he could never forget Abigail in the birchforest, dealing with the thunder and the words she said to him.
"Yeah." Abigail didn't hide it either.
Andrew sighed. "If you hadn't intervened back then, would things have been different?"
Abigail smiled, feeling he was a bit naive.
"At that time, Larry was still in his hands. Even without you, there was Larry. Besides, even if therewas no Larry, I would have gone with them. You and your father saved me. I'm not an ungratefulperson," Abigail said, then lay back on the couch, murmuring slowly, "I will eventually forget."
Before, she had been unaware that he had a girlfriend.
But now, things were different.
Tonight, she avoided Sean and didn't argue when he mentioned his new girlfriend.
Abigail had decided to let go by then.
The drinks tonight were definitely not in vain.
"Thank you," Andrew sincerely said. He used to be naive, but in the past six months, he hadmatured a lot and faced the true evil of human nature.
Although he couldn't forget Abigail's threat to his father, he also knew that without her decision atthe time, they would all be finished.
The birch forest was their burial ground.
Abigail watched anime with Andrew for a while, then went back to her room.
She was upset, but life had to go on.
Sitting back on the bed, she pulled out the tablet she used to draw from the bedside table, about torevisit her old hobby, when her phone suddenly rang.novelbin
Abigail picked it up and saw that it was Eric calling. She was a bit surprised, considering she hadn'tbeen in touch with him for a long time.
Pressing the answer button, Abigail spoke calmly, "Hello."
