Chapter 838 Mr Graham Is Fine
Awakening to the bright daylight, Abigail found herself still in bed, no longer at sea. She sprang upand yelled in the direction of the door, "Xavien!"
Xavien, who was standing guard outside, was startled and entered the room quickly, asking, "Whathappened?"
"You mentioned we'd be out at sea for a week. Why are we back here?" Abigail demanded, her frailbody trembling as she grabbed his collar and shouted.
Xavien was taken aback by her outburst. After a moment, he explained, "You fell seriously ill at sea,according to Simond. I was worried it might happen again, so I brought you back to one of thenearby islands."
"I'm fine, just tired, so let's go back..."
Hearing that, Xavien immediately interjected, "Mr. Graham is safe. I managed to reach him today.We can visit him once your condition gets better."
Surprised, Abigail's eyes widened with concern. "Is he okay?"
"Yes, but we can't be sure until we see him. He's in the hospital but not in the best condition,"Xavien reassured her.
Relaxing her grip on his collar, Abigail sank back onto the bed, her eyes welling with tears. "Is hereally alright?"
"Absolutely. He called me this morning, saying he'd just woken up. However, we need to proceedcautiously, considering the commotion his accident has caused in Eswadia," Xavien explainedsolemnly.
"Jonell's group likely has connections to these pirates, and they are probably throwing a party rightnow," Abigail spat coldly.
"I have to inform and reassure Mr. Graham's family that he's fine now. You stay put," Xavieninstructed, motioning toward the bed. "Ms. Quinn, getting enough rest is your utmost priority now.Mr. Graham mentioned there's a plan, and it's important that we create the impression that heindeed fell into the sea."
Abigail nodded. "I get it. As long as he's safe, I don't need to see him immediately."
"Mr. Graham hesitated at first to tell you, fearing you might interfere with the plan," Xavien remarkedas he tucked her in after she settled into bed. "But he couldn't bear to see you upset."
Abigail understood why Sean had disclosed his plan to her. She had once kept her plan a secretfrom him, which ultimately led to their separation. In order to avoid any recurrence this time, hedidn't repeat her way.
While Xavien went to comfort Sean's grandparents, Abigail drifted into a deep sleep. Since beingabducted by Simond, she hadn't had proper rest, so this time, she slept she slept uninterrupted fortwo full days. Upon awakening, a sense of disorientation washed over her, leaving her feeling dizzyand disoriented.
Xavien had prepared a meal for her, and upon noticing her awake, he displayed concern akin to thatof a caring father. "You've been sleeping for two days straight. I was worried, but the doctor advisedthat your body needed the rest. You haven't slept this well in a long time, so I chose not to disturbyou."
"I'm hungry..." Abigail's hands trembled due to hunger.
Xavien took a seat beside her, watching her eating with gusto. Then, he broached, "I've compiledsome information about Simond's family."
Abigail acknowledged with a nonchalant hum, appearing indifferent.
Xavien continued, "Simond's grandfather was previously engaged in international trade, specificallyin the technological sector. However, due to a critical information breach, the Simpson Family cameunder suspicion and, as immigrants, were deported from the country."
Abigail showed no interest in hearing this.
"In Stephen Simpson's time, it appeared that he had totally abandoned the idea of returning to hishomeland, instead establishing his own influence overseas. Nonetheless, Stephen's wife, who isalso Simond and Sage's mother, managed to infiltrate his fortress in pursuit of the information fromyears ago. She even married him and bore his children."
At that moment, Abigail finally looked up at Xavien and inquired, "What happened later?"
"After Simond and Sage were born, Stephen's wife proposed sending them to Eswadia to train assoldiers, supposedly to aid Stephen in the future. However, her true motive was to revive thereputation of the Simpson Family and reestablish ties with their homeland. Despite the longstandingrelationship between her family and the Simpsons, it still took substantial effort for her to earnStephen's trust."
"Does this imply that the origin of the leaked information is still unknown, and Eswadia has beeninvestigating all this while?" Abigail swiftly understood the core of the situation.
"Exactly," affirmed Xavien.novelbin
"Since birth, Simond and Sage were essentially prepared by their mother for a mission," Abigailremarked coldly.
"Their mother has compiled important information to clear the name of the Simpson Family in thismicrochip. It also features advanced technologies, which is why it's been sought after secretly bymany," Xavien explained, letting out a soft sigh.
"How about the traitor? Is their identity still unknown?" Abigail furrowed her brow in concern.
"After three generations, uncovering their identity seems challenging," Xavien leaned against hischair and sighed, his expression conflicted.
