Abigail’s Second Life

Abigail struggled to finish her meal before returning to the Pearson Residence with Sean.

Upon entering the house, Lawrence embraced her tightly. Scarlett, on the other hand, stood by and gently patted

her shoulder.

"Later, I'm going to Saraville with Sean. It might be a while before we cback, so you need to take care of

yourselves at home," Abigail murmured as she leaned into Lawrence's embrace.

He hummed in response. Then, he added, "Your mom and | will be fine. We will take care of ourselves. Remember

to call us when you get there. I'm worried because Josh isn't answering his phone." "Okay," Abigail replied softly.

After Lawrence let go of Abigail, Scarlett hugged her tightly. "Abby, we're here for you. If the situation becomes

too overwhelming or if you feel upset and mistreated, you must call us. No matter how busy we are, we will

cto support you and Josh."

"I know," Abigail said.

After packing sclothes, Abigail and Sean set off for Saraville.

When they arrived in Saraville, it was almost 9 p.m. Abigail went to the morgue, while Sean went to Josh's ward.

Luna's body, covered with a white cloth, lay on a metal bed.

Abigail's eyes were so red that they seemed as if they were about to shed tears of blood. Kneeling by the bed,

she tightly gripped Luna's pale, stiff hand.

When Sean brought Josh over, Abigail was sitting on the floor, crying without caring about her appearance.

At that moment, the pain in her heart was so intense that even Sean, who was usually emotionally stable, could

feel it. His heart felt as if it had been pricked by a needle.

He looked away and took shallow breaths to calm his aching heart.

Josh, on the other hand, couldn't bear to look at Luna's body. He still felt like he was living in a dream and

couldn't accept that Luna was gone.

Abigail cried incessantly. Fearing that she would cry herself to exhaustion, Sean went in, helped her up from the

floor, and said, "Let's go back and choose a suitable date for her funeral."

"No... | don't want to..." Abigail clung tightly to Luna's hand. She cried until her voice turned hoarse. "Luna, don't

leave me. | was wrong. I'm not angry with you anymore. You can teaseanytime. | truly was wrong. Don't

leave me."

"Abby, she's gone." As Sean pried Abigail's hand away, he spoke with a hint of anger in his voice.

Abigail shook her head repeatedly.

Having no choice, Sean forcibly pried her hand away and carried her out of the morgue.

Meanwhile, Josh stood at the entrance of the morgue. As he silently looked at Luna, who was covered with a

white cloth, his pale face showed no emotion.

"Don't do anything foolish. Luna's case hasn't been solved yet. You can go ahead if you want to join her. But do

you think you can face her in the afterlife if you just leave like this?" Sean had his back turned to Josh and

questioned coldly.

Seemingly awakened from a dream, Josh slowly lowered his eyes. A tear fell to the ground shortly after.

Silent sorrow filled the air.

His hand, which was supporting him against the door frame, tightened even more.

Under Sean's care, Abigail tossed and turned for an hour. Finally, she fell asleep after taking a sleeping pill.

Sean knew that coming here would upset Abigail. The wound in her heart needed tto heal. Even though she

would suffer, Sean knew that she had to face the news of Luna's death and take care of her funeral.

Just then, Josh cto Abigail's ward. Even though his eyes were bloodshot from tears, he still appeared

composed. "Did you find anything?"

"Not yet, for now," Sean replied, sitting by the bed. His eyes were filled with worry as he looked at Abigail.

"Letknow when you need me," Josh said. Since he had been mourning for a day, he felt that it was

inappropriate to continue in this state.

I must find out who did this to Luna!

"You should go back and secure your family's assets. Vincent is hoping that you'll collapse because of Luna's

passing. That way, he can take over the Pearsons’ assets," Sean reminded him while gently massaging Abigail's

hand.

Upon hearing that, Josh hummed in response and remained silent.

The news of Luna's death was not made public by the media.

Her body was returned to Pendorf.

Luna had few close relatives. On the day of her funeral, a few members of the Smiths came. However, none

inquired about what had happened.

Lawrence and Scarlett felt particularly upset. Although Luna had never discussed her family in front of them,

they still couldn't understand why none of her family members who attended the funeral acted respectfully, even

now that she was gone.

They were busy from dawn till dusk.

After everyone else had left, only Josh remained in front of her tombstone.

Gently caressing the photo on the tombstone, he whispered, "If you ever need anything or run out of something,

money, clothes, food, or flowers, please visitin my dreams. It's okay. Also, I've always had feelings for you.

I've never forgotten you and have liked you for these past two years. If you feel the sway about me, please

remember to visitin my dreams often." Sear*ch the Find Nngvelwebsite on Geggle to access chapters of

As he finished speaking, he took a deep breath and couldn't say another word.

Sitting in front of the tombstone, he looked at Luna's photo. No matter how hard he tried, he simply couldn't

accept the fact that Luna had left him.

He raised his hand to wipe away his tears. After a long while, he muttered in a hoarse voice, "I'm sorry... It would

have been better if | hadn't let go and stayed with you instead."
