Chapter 213 Too Late

Sean hesitated to respond to Lynette’s question.

Josh cast one final glance at Sean before departing.

Seeing as no response would be forthcoming, Lynette scoffed and sat on the side. She thought, I’m

going to stay right here today. I’ll prove to Abby that she can rely on me!

Abigail and Eric briefly waited in the hospital lobby before Josh caught up with them.

“Why are you guys here?” Abigail asked coolly as soon as Josh approached.

“We were worried about you, so we came over to check on you,” Josh replied.

He wasn’t great at communicating and didn’t know how to interact with her. The thought of her possibly

being his sister made him nervous. He didn’t know what to do with himself.

Noticing Josh’s anxiety, Eric spoke for him, saying, “We were worried you’d get bullied if you were

alone. We know Sean’s grandma is the reason your grandma’s in the hospital.”

Abigail nodded, appearing despondent. “I’m fine. I won’t let anyone bully me.”

“Why don’t we grab a bite to eat?” Josh suggested.

She agreed with a hum.

While eating, Abigail scarfed her food down. She was worried about leaving Analise in Lynette’s

care.

Plus, Abigail agreed with what the others had said. She needed to keep herself in good shape,

thinking, If something happens to me, who will care for Grandma? Besides, the studio needs me…

Also, Lexie’s gown hasn’t been completed yet. I don’t have time to wallow in sadness.

Eric and Josh expressed deep concern for her, who appeared noticeably thinner. She bore a heavy

burden, which was clear to both of them.

She finished her meal in less than ten minutes. “I’m done. I’m heading back to the hospital. You’ve

seen what you came to see, so you should go back now. It won’t be good if Grandma sees you when

she wakes up.” She stood up and said to Eric and Josh.

“Understood,” Eric said with a nod.

especially at this time. Analise had an aversion to their company, especially to Josh. As a result, they

couldn’t visit her,

“Remember that no matter what happens, we’re always on your side,” Josh said.

Abigail acknowledged with a hum, though she didn’t take his words to heart. Their concern and

protectiveness felt more like a burden to her than a source of happiness.

Back in the hospital, she put in considerable effort to convince Lynette to leave.

Sean was still there. Now that he was finally alone with Abigail again, he couldn’t help asking. “Abby,

can we have a proper talk?”

She had been agitated since his return but now looked calm, eyeing him coldly, showing no interest in

talking. “What’s there for us to talk about? Her tone conveyed her rejection.

He looked serious. “Do we have to get a divorce?”

In the past, whenever she brought up the topic of divorce, he had been confident it wouldn’t ome to

pa*s. He used to be carefree, but not anymore. This time was different. It wasn’t just a matter between

them now; their families were also in the picture. He couldn’t make unilateral decisions about their

relationship.

“Sean, my near-death experience is unresolved, and my grandma is injured now. Must your grandma

harm everyone in my family before you consider divorce? Whether it’s Joan or your grandma, they act

boldly because of you!” she accused, her gaze unwavering.

Abigail knew she could never reconcile with Lina. Just thinking of Lina reminded her of what happened

to her grandmother. Her resentment was permanent, and she could never forgive Lina for her actions.

“Abigail, I’ll make amends for your suffering and your grandma’s,” Sean vowed, clenching his fists.

Even his jaw was tense. “And Joan and I were never in a relationship. You’re the only woman I’ve ever

been involved with.”

It was true that he bore responsibility for the conflict between their families.

She scoffed and looked away. “What’s the use of saying these things now? Sean, from the very

beginning, I shouldn’t have chosen to marry you. It’s my fault. I forced you to marry me. It was wrong of

me. You don’t love me. I deserve to suffer at your hands, but three years is enough. Please release me

from this. I’m begging you to spare me. I’m begging you to spare my grandma.”

He pursed his l*ps tightly. Finally, he said hoarsely, When Grandma wakes divorce proceedings.” With

those words, he felt his heart shatter.

As he left the hospital, the sunlight felt more piercing than ever.

Colby held his shoulder and said, “I didn’t know your grandma would head over to Abigail’s

grandma’s place. I didn’t think things would turn out this way.”

“It’s not your fault, Grandpa. We’re just not meant to stay together,” Sean said evenly.

There was no point in saying anything more. Given the circumstances, the outcome was bound to

change, regardless of who was to blame.
