The Spare Wife

Chapter 640 Unable to Sleep

As soon as the words were spoken, the doctor on duty approached and reminded them, “Please keep your voices down at night.” Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

“Okay, doctor. We’ll go into the ward,” Lawrence said as he hugged Abigail and led her inside.

As Abigail entered, she looked at Sean with teary eyes.

Lawrence approached Sean and touched his face, feeling the heat radiating from it.

“Go to sleep, Abby. You need to take care of him when you’re in good health, hmm?” Scarlett persuaded Abigail. She knew that neither she nor Lawrence could take care of Sean for a long time, and Abigail wouldn’t allow it.

Abigail was naturally stubborn. Scan probably had no other way to recover except with her personal care, especially considering Luna’s condition.

Abigail was indeed very tired. Her parents coaxed her to lie down, and she soon fell asleep.

Lawrence and Scarlett closed the ward door and moved away a bit, sighing in unison.

“Finding a reputable traditional medicine doctor might be more reliable. I remember there is a well- known traditional medicine doctor in Kelra. I’ll inquire about him later,” Scarlett whispered to Lawrence.

Lawrence frowned and said, “That famous traditional medicine doctor in Kelra has a close relationship with Molly Watts from the Davidson Family. If we go to him, he will probably inform Molly. Then, we won’t be able to get treatment for Sean.”

“If that’s the case, let’s put Vincent aside. The child’s life is more important. We don’t need to think too much about our decision. As long as he can save Sean, the Pearsons can do whatever they want,” Scarlett said gently.

They already owed Abigail a lot. It would be too cruel to let her watch Sean’s health deteriorate until he was completely exhausted.

“You’re right. Even if we have to beg on our knees, I will do it to save Sean.” Lawrence nodded.

If Molly used sparing Vincent as a threat, they would also make concessions.

They could give up the house and the shares. Sean’s life was the most important thing.

Meanwhile, Abigail couldn’t sleep at all. Sean’s occasional unconscious cough made her tremble with fear.

After daybreak, she still couldn’t fall asleep. Even during the most difficult times at work back then, she had never experienced insomnia like this.

Looking at Sean lying in bed, she did not feel a hint of sleepiness. Her heart was filled with unprecedented confusion and pain.

Lawrence and Scarlett came in with breakfast and saw Abigail sitting by the bedside, looking exhausted. They both felt distressed.

“Abby, have breakfast first,” Scarlett said.

Abigail looked up and glanced at the sky outside, her voice hoarse as she asked Scarlett, “Mom, what time is it?”

“It’s 7:30 a.m., Scarlett walked towards her, concern evident in her eyes.

Abigail rubbed her face with her hand and stood up silently, making her way to the bathroom.

Lawrence sighed helplessly as he opened the breakfast packaging and quietly said to Scarlett, “You stay at the hospital today. I’ll go find a traditional medicine doctor to help Abby get some rest.”

“Alright,” Scarlett replied.

After Abigail finished washing up and had breakfast, she fell asleep under Scarlett’s comfort,

Cameron quickly learned about Sean’s illness from Xavien.

He heard it from Xavien because Sean was unable to work anymore, and Xavien temporarily took charge of Graham International.

Cameron learned everything from Scarlett. He arrived outside the hospital, smoking incessantly.

He couldn’t even handle Sean’s situation now.

Everything seemed to be going in a positive direction, but the illness came so suddenly.

After finishing his cigarette, he returned to the ward.

Abigail woke up after a few hours of sleep. She stood beside the doctor, watching him examine Sean.

After the doctor finished the examination, he spoke gently to Abigail, “Don’t worry too much. His condition is being well controlled. He should wake up later.”

“Okay. Thank you, doctor.” Abigail nodded, still looking a bit lethargic and lacking energy.

After the doctor left, Cameron walked up to Abigail. He hesitated for a moment before speaking, “Don’t be too sad. Your dad has gone to see a traditional medicine doctor, and Xavien is secretly helping him find a doctor at a high price. There will definitely be a solution.”

Abigail furrowed her brows and said, “We shouldn’t have let him come to Capitalis in the first place. He wasn’t fully recovered back then. If he had stayed at home, eating well, and taking care of himself, it wouldn’t have turned out like this.”

Cameron quickly comforted her, “Abigail, you’re wrong to say that. Even if he had stayed at home, he would have worked hard and pushed himself. At that time, none of us realized that he seemed fine, but his internal organs were already having problems.”

Seeing her in pain and wanting to cry but unable to, Cameron also felt distressed.

“You came here and left your own affairs behind?” Abigail did not know what to say and asked Cameron.

“It’s fine for a day or two,” he replied.

Abigail nodded.

Before Cameron could say anything else, the door to the ward was pushed open.

Vincent and Martha walked in, their faces showing a hint of smugness as they saw Sean lying on the hospital bed.

“Oh, why are you hospitalized?” Martha was the first to speak.

In fact, they had already learned from Molly that Lawrence went to find Molly’s old friend, Sean. Upon hearing this, Molly inquired and found out that Sean had suddenly fallen seriously ill and was on the brink of death.

And so, she shared this so-called good news with them.
