Abigail’s Second Life (Abigail Quinn)

Chapter 686 You Must Remain Rational

Luna closed her eyes.

"I'll make it for you again until you can eat it without feeling nauseous," Abigail said, fixing her hair. "Don't worry, I'm here to take care of you. I won't feel tired or bitter. As long as you can eat a little, I'll be happy."

Luna looked at the smile on Abigail's face, and her eyes welled up. "I'm sorry... I'm too weak."

"What nonsense are you talking about? No matter what, I won't give up on you." Abigail exhaled and gently pinched her face. "It's okay. Why don't you come to the kitchen with me and help me out?"

"Okay," Luna weakly replied.

Abigail tidied up the kitchen and took Luna out to buy ingredients.

During this time, Abigail secretly retrieved the recipe that Sean had written for her. She bought the necessary ingredients and then took Luna home.

…

Abigail stayed with Luna for three days, and Simond gave Abigail some sleeping pills.

That night, Luna drank the freshly squeezed juice that Abigail had made for her and soon fell asleep on the couch in the living room.

Simond came in from outside and brought Zack with him. Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

When she saw Zack, Abigail felt a bit awkward.

She didn't expect to need his help in the end.

Zack nodded at Abigail, then walked over to Luna. To be safe, he first checked Luna's eyes to ensure she was truly asleep. Then, he began to draw her blood.

Abigail was not very happy... Did Simond and Zack not believe that Luna was genuinely sick?

After they drew the blood, Abigail covered Luna with a blanket and then left the room with Simond and Zack.

"Don't you trust her?" Abigail questioned Simond.

Simond laughed cheekily. "Whether Luna has betrayed you is still uncertain. Yet, you tell her everything, including where Larry is. Aren't you afraid she'll inform the people behind her and eliminate everyone who's helping you?"

Abigail immediately retorted, "She won't!"

"How can you guarantee that?!" Simond's face became serious. "I understand that you're concerned about her, and I also know that you used to be friends who shared everything. She selflessly supported you during the three years you were married, even dating Josh to deal with Kelly, who bullied you. But that's all in the past!"

Abigail's hands clenched tightly at her sides. She tried to control her anger until her whole body stopped shaking.

"Abigail, if you want to cooperate with me, you have to remain absolutely rational. You can be kind to her in your actions, but you have to consider her current situation rationally. She's in a dangerous circle, but whether she herself is part of the problem is still uncertain." Simond circled around her, and his words were sharp and clear.

Abigail's scalp went from tingling to slowly cooling down until, finally, she calmed down.

"She doesn't let you say anything, which is unreasonable. I didn't want to tell you these things before because you weren't cooperating with me. But now you are. You can expose yourself, but I'm afraid you'll expose my whereabouts in the future." Simond was completely different from before. Now, he was only cold and ruthless.

Abigail was left speechless, like a wounded soldier.

Being kind to Luna on one hand and guarding against her on the other, Abigail was also in pain.

"Think about it yourself," Simond said, leaving with Zack.

Abigail returned to the room. She looked at Luna sleeping on the couch and ran her hand through her hair.

Luna slept soundly.

The next day, her mood was much better than yesterday. Early in the morning, she had washed and dressed herself.

"Let's go to the antique market again today," Luna said to Abigail, who was making breakfast as she wandered into the kitchen.

Abigail hummed in response as she smiled at Luna. "I made you some soup. It's very smooth, and I added your favorite meat. It's very fragrant."

Luna leaned in, taking a sniff before swallowing. "It looks delicious."

Abigail grinned. "As long as you enjoy it."

When Luna glanced at her, she noticed the fatigue in Abigail's eyes, and a pang of heartache washed over her. "Are you very tired?"

"No, I'll just take a nap at noon. You know I don't need much sleep, so don't worry," Abigail reassured her. She could have had a good night's sleep last night, but... Simond's words kept her awake for most of the night.

She had chatted with Sean until two in the morning, then slowly drifted off to sleep and woke up at six to make soup for Luna.

After breakfast, when Abigail and Luna stepped outside, they encountered an old man returning from the market with two fish.

The white-haired old man spotted Luna and immediately greeted her. "You finally decided to come out and enjoy the sun. You look quite lively."

Luna smiled and replied, "Yes, did you just come back from the market?"

"Yes, an acquaintance informed me that he had caught two fish from the wild river this morning and asked me to pick them up. If you don't have a place to eat at noon, come to my house. The river fish are delicious and not at all fishy," the old man kindly offered Luna.

Luna gently shook her head. "Thank you, but Abigail will cook something for me."

"Oh my, isn't she Alana? I just realized!" The old man suddenly exclaimed, his face filled with surprise.
