Abigail’s Second Life (Abigail Quinn)

Chapter 749 Be Prepared

Furthermore, Abigail had always been actively involved in charity work and placed a high value on ethics in her profession. He couldn't comprehend why they would choose to believe someone they barely knew rather than trust someone they had been living with for so long.

After a prolonged silence, Martin stood up and locked eyes with Andrew. "If you truly wish to choose him, I will support your decision. I'm aging and can no longer do much for you. So, I can only go along with your desires."

"Dad, apart from this instance, I will listen to you from now on." Andrew embraced Martin's waist.

Gently, Martin stroked his hair and said, "It's alright. I'm concerned that if you're always so obedient, you'll be bullied by your wife in the future."

"Dad, should we take precautions?" Andrew raised his face to look at him, and he nodded.

"The other party is undoubtedly not a good person. We need to be prepared."

After Abigail and Sean finished their meal, they were confined to the hotel. Initially, they had planned to go for a stroll, but now, it seemed unsafe.

"I have to return to work tomorrow. How long do you plan to stay here?" Abigail leaned against his shoulder and looked up, only to see his well-defined jawline.

Subconsciously, she reached out and lightly scratched his chin, and he gazed down at her like a contented cat, replying, "Then, I'll return to Eswadia tomorrow. You'll be occupied for a while and won't be able to meet me, right?"

He had considered that this situation was simply not conducive to staying here. Abigail was staying at the competition venue, which was safer than the hotel. That place was crowded and equipped with surveillance cameras, so they wouldn't dare to target her there.

Staying here served little purpose, so it would be better to temporarily return to the country.

"Yes." Abigail reckoned that she probably wouldn't be able to meet him for a while.

Sean nodded. "That's fine. You'll be safer in a large group, and it will also be safer for me to return home. It will take a long time to sort things out here."

He rarely traveled abroad, but this incident forced him to reconsider his plans and go back.

They spent a peaceful day together, and during the night, Sean couldn't get himself away from Abigail for a long time. In the end, he only managed to sleep for two hours before being secretly taken away by Xavien.

At daybreak, Abigail packed up and went to Simond's place to pick up Larry. "Do you believe the current Martin?" Simond asked her directly as soon as he opened the door.

"Did you take Larry for a check-up?" Abigail didn't trust Martin, but perhaps she could trust Andrew. Even though she had also considered that going back might be dangerous, she was willing to take the gamble.

"I had him checked, and everything seems fine. I took a sample for genetic testing and sent it to someone to find a match," Simond said, closing the door.

Abigail entered, saw Larry sitting on the couch playing with his hands, and immediately walked over. Reaching out, she pinched his cheek, and he smiled and grabbed her hand, attempting to climb onto her. Then, she sat down and held him in her arms.

"Mama…" Larry softly called out, snuggling into her embrace. It was evident that he missed her greatly.

Abigail's heart melted as she gently patted his back, her eyes slightly teary. "I'm here."

At that moment, she felt a pang of guilt toward Luna. This was Luna's child, and if she were still alive and heard Larry call her "Mama," she would have never chosen to end her life.

"Mama…" Larry's voice was filled with joy as his little feet rested on Abigail's lap.

Simond crossed his arms. Although he was not usually fond of children, Larry was truly adorable; he wasn't noisy or troublesome, and when somebody spoke to him, he would look at them with wide, bright eyes that were brimming with life.

Placing her hands under his chubby armpits, Abigail gently asked Larry, "Yes, I'm here. We'll meet Andrew and Martin in a little while. Do you remember them?"

Larry chuckled, saying, "Mama…"

Abigail held him in her arms again, gently stroking his head. "Did you miss me?"

Larry extended his chubby little hands and hugged her neck, happily nuzzling against her. It was only at this moment that Abigail slowly developed a different kind of affection for Larry. At this moment, she deeply understood that this child had a sense of dependence on her.

Simond noticed the tenderness on Abigail's face and pondered for a moment before speaking, "Are you planning to go back?"

"Why wouldn't I go back?" Abigail asked in return. "Martin may not be trustworthy, but Andrew is, and I need him."

Andrew had excellent computer skills, and she believed that by winning him over, he would be able to help her a lot in the future. As long as she provided him with some information, he would be able to uncover a lot of useful things.

If Sean could cooperate with him, they would eventually find the evidence and bring this matter to a perfect conclusion. Material © NôvelDrama.Org.

However, Simond disagreed with her putting herself in danger. "Abigail, you need to think it through. Martin is a researcher who might secretly drug you slowly and chronically. Once your task is completed, you might lose your life."

As it was still unknown who had approached Martin, he was afraid that Abigail would return there and never come out again.

"Mr. Simpson, if it is destined for me to sacrifice, I will be prepared." Abigail looked at him without any fear. "Just as my best friend did it, so will I."
