Abigail’s Second Life (Abigail Quinn)

Chapter 858 He Feels Sorry For You

Josh found himself overwhelmed with emotion as tears streamed down his cheeks, his hand instinctively covering his mouth in disbelief.

Luna met his gaze, memories flooding back from their earliest encounters. She remembered a reserved Josh, his occasional smiles, and the way he blushed whenever she took charge. Witnessing him cry for the first time touched her deeply.

"What's the matter?” Luna inquired softly, her empathy evident in her gentle tone.

Josh turned aside, grappling with a profound sense of regret over Luna's plight. He acknowledged his inability to protect her from the challenges she and her husband endured. Despite once having confidence in his abilities, he now felt confined to Eswadia. Ultimately, the responsibility rested on Abigail and Sean.

"He feels sorry for you,” Abigail murmured, her voice laced with empathy.

"Don't be. Just being back is all that matters. When Jonell imprisoned me. I didn't feel anything.” Luna replied, her tone carrying a sense of resignation.

Abigail sensed Luna's emotional detachment, understanding that she had long been numb to such feelings.

"My mom makes pasta just like Grandma's. I'm sure you'll like it," Abigail interjected, shifting the conversation in an attempt to lift the mood Luna's gaze shifted to Abigail. "Is she doing well?"

Abigail hesitated, biting her lip. Though she remained silent, Luna sensed the truth.

"I'll pay her a visit once I'm feeling better," Luna murmured, her gaze drifting downwards.Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

It was evident that Luna’s prolonged absence had taken its toll, her resilience waning.

After a brief silence, tears welled up in Luna's eyes, streaming down her cheeks uncontrollably.

Abigail observed, her own eyes moistening with empathy.

Josh stepped forward, wrapping Luna in a comforting embrace. "She passed away peacefully. She'll forever remain in your heart.” Luna could only cry, her sobs catching in her throat.

Abigail asked Josh to fetch some medicine for Luna. After she took it and began to calm down, Luna drifted into a deep slumber. Exiting the room, Abigail furrowed her brow, lost in thought.

"I'll be here for her, supporting her in her battle against depression," Josh reassured Abigail, his determination shining through his gaze.

"She may struggle with complex emotions, but that's to be expected. Overcoming depression isn't easy; we need to stand by her side and help build her confidence,” Abigail spoke gently, her tone filled with understanding

"I'lLinform my parents once I'm back home; they'll be delighted to hear about her return. And I plan to propose to her. We've already set a date, and my parents are making preparations,” Josh continued, his resolve unwavering.

"Have you discussed it with her yet?" Abigail voiced her concer, fearing Luna might not be ready for the proposal.

"I'll wait until she's feeling better before bringing it up. I'm worried she might turn me down in her current state. But this time, I'm determined not to give up. I want to be with her, no matter what," Josh breathed out softly.

"If you were to abandon her, I'll despise you. You share a child together. Why would you choose someone else?” Abigail’s words carried a stern yet concermed tone

"Has Sean reached out to you? Luna mentioned that he saved her," Josh's expression brightened as he changed the subject. Everything seemed to be falling into place, except for Luna's illness.

"Not yet. I haven't been able to reach him," Abigail replied, her mind pondering over what Sean might be dealing with overseas. "He's always a cause for concern," Josh sighed.

The entire family awaited his return anxiously, fearing he might have encountered an accident at sea, although they suspected he had embarked on a risky endeavor instead.

"It'll be okay. If Luna has seen him, it means he's safe.” Abigail speculated, convinced that Sean couldn't disclose his whereabouts for the sake of the Davidson Family.

A week after Luna's return to the country, a major fraud case involving 1 billion was reported by the media. However, Eric was hailed as a hero

Abigail and Luna watched the news on a tablet.

"He's in a more favorable situation than you. Eventually, his parents intervened and secured Jonell's release,” Abigail remarked.

When Abigail ventured to New Yoke. Eric had already returned to the country, coinciding with Luna’s transition from the mansion to the winery. Since the winery's products were exported overseas, Eric escorted her to Monfort.

"Without him, we wouldn't have known if you were still under Jonell’s influence. He's been an invaluable asset. I'll arrange to meet him and treat him to a meal. Would you like to jain?” Abigail suggested, placing her tablet down

Luna picked up her tablet and resumed perusing the news. "Sean deserves most of the credit for this. Why isn't he here?”

"Perhaps he prefers to remain ow-profiled,"\Abigail replied softly. Sean wasn'bone to seek the “ imelightZand his involvement in 1 the fraud ease carried significant ramifications. Having learnedfrom hissmistakes, he now maintained a 6W profile, which was fog-the best.

"When will he return? It would be nice to visit Eric together,” Luna inquired, glancing up from her tablet. "I haven't been able to reach him yet. He must be preoccupied with something,” Abigail reassured her with a smile

"You silly girl. I'm just worrying for you," Luna chuckled softly as she set her tablet aside.
