Female Novel
Chapter 870 Striving For You
Abigail found Shaunee genuinely adorable and a perfect match for Alfie.
Among them, Shaunee was the youngest, only twenty-three years old.
After dinner, Shaunee took Abigail to play billiards while Sean and the others sat down for cards.novelbin
Leaning close, Shaunee curiously asked Abigail, "What's the story of your relationship with Sean? Iheard from Alfie that you've trained with special forces. Are you really that tough?"
"It's nothing special, not as impressive as you think." Abigail felt that compared to Simond, she wasfar behind.
"But that's special forces," Shaunee exclaimed in awe.
This was something Alfie mentioned sparingly, but Shaunee was genuinely curious.
Isla and Eilane also listened intently.
After a moment of silence, Abigail said, "If you ever feel bullied, come to me, and I'll show you whatI can do."
"Deal! I'll be looking forward to seeing you in action!" Shaunee responded.
Isla felt somewhat sympathetic towards Abigail.
Cameron, who knew quite a bit, would sometimes share stories with her.
Abigail's strength today was largely due to her formidable will.
As Abigail played, she listened to the laughter and chatter of Shaunee and Eilane, feeling a tinge ofsadness inside.
Luna, too, was once lively like them.
If she were here today, she'd probably be animatedly sharing her story with Josh, making him blushwith embarrassment.
Imagining this, Abigail felt a pang of sorrow.
"By the way, Abigail, do you watch Korean dramas?" Eilane suddenly asked.
"Occasionally. I watch them when I'm tired from work," Abigail wasn't particular about the origin ofthe dramas; she watched whatever she found interesting.
"There's this drama called 'The Approaching Deadline,' it's quite new. Maybe you can watch it withyour friend," Eilane suggested before returning to her pool game.
She wasn't very good, failing to pot any balls, but no one looked down on her. It was a stark contrastto the other social circles she knew through Damon.
Abigail made a mental note of the title, sensing that Eilane hoped she would watch it with Luna.
After the gathering, Abigail returned home and persuaded Sean to watch the drama in their privatetheater.
They didn't finish watching until the next morning, with Sean accompanying her throughout. Abigailcried several times during the show, which turned out to be quite moving. After listening to theending credits for a while, she turned to Sean and asked, "Do you think Luna would be touched ifshe watched it with me?"
"I'm not sure, but it's worth a try," Sean said softly.
"Let's sleep now," Abigail suggested, feeling both tired and restless.
The next day, while Sean was busy with the boat designs, Abigail went to the hospital.
"Is Josh not here?" Upon entering Luna's room and finding only Scarlett, Abigail inquired.
"He said he had some business to attend to these few days and asked me to stay here. Aren't youbusy?" Scarlett, who had learned cooking and even embroidery during Abigail's absence, wasembroidering lovebirds, probably as a gift for Luna and Josh.
"I'm always free for my bestie. You can go rest; I'll stay with her today," Abigail insisted, feeling itinappropriate to watch dramas with Scarlett.
"Okay, then I'll head back," Scarlett stood up to leave.
Before leaving, Abigail hugged her. "Be careful on your way home, Mommy."
"Will do," Scarlett responded with affection.
Once alone, Abigail approached Luna. "Want to watch a drama? I heard it is an infinite style, andyou used to love this genre, right?"
"Is it well made?" Luna expressed skepticism.
"The reviews online are quite positive," Abigail climbed onto her bed, setting up the tablet.
Luna hummed in agreement.
They watched the drama together, engrossed in the exhilarating first four episodes, and finishednearly nine hours later.
After the show, Luna, silent for a while, asked, "Did you intentionally choose this for me to watch?"
"Not really on purpose, but I thought you'd like its profound themes," Abigail turned to face her.
Sighing, Luna grasped her hand. "I'll try harder. I won't let you guys suffer anymore."
"Do you remember Alfie?" Abigail gently squeezed her hand, asking softly.
"I do; he's quite funny," Luna managed a small smile.
"He has found a lively girlfriend, somewhat like you. Seeing her chatter last night, I missed you somuch and decided to visit," Abigail spoke naturally, her tone genuinely cheerful.
Warmth flooded Luna's heart. "How can I always be on your mind like this?"
"Yeah, what should we do?" Abigail rested her chin on Luna's shoulder, blinking curiously.
"I guess I have to keep trying to live, not wanting to be just a memory for you," Luna pinched hercheek.
Abigail embraced her. "I really wish you could go out with me again. I especially love how you arewhen you drink; so bold and joyful."
