I Want a Divorce (Abigail and Sean)

Chapter 693 Intentional Torture

Luna's current condition was a result of her illness, causing her body to stiffen and her loss of interest in everything around her.

As Luna gazed at Abigail, she expressed her concern. "You've already taken care of me enough. Don't waste any more of your time. I understand that you're busy and didn't get much sleep last night. I know you've been under a lot of pressure because of me, and I'm feeling the pressure too. I don't want to continue burdening you."

Abigail's eyes turned red as she responded, "What do you mean by burden? When someone is sick, it's necessary for someone to take care of them. You only want to talk to me, and you trust only me. If I were to leave, what would you do?"

She continued, "Yes, I may feel a little uncomfortable and tired, but I'm willing to endure it for your recovery. As long as you get better, my tiredness and discomfort don't matter."

"You and Sean have come so far. Are you going to break up with him because of me? I don't want our relationship to be affected like this. Please go back. I'll take care of myself." Luna took two steps back. "I don't want to waste your time anymore."

"Can you really take care of yourself? Every time you eat a lot, you end up vomiting and getting angry. Then, you refuse to eat. You hardly eat anything. How long can you continue like this? Go wash up!" Abigail's tone became serious.

Luna burst into tears once again. "Living is so painful."

"Luna, think about Larry. He's getting better. Think about how he's doing, and remember that he's your child. You promised to recognize him in two years." Abigail stepped forward and gripped her shoulder.This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .

Luna suddenly calmed down.

"Larry..." she whispered softly. After that, she felt a mix of sadness and tears welling up at the thought of him.

"It's okay. Freshen up and eat something. You need to get better. We have to catch those who did this to you," Abigail reassured her.

With Abigail's reassurance, Luna freshened up and had breakfast.

Abigail turned on the TV and selected a movie she had prepared. "Let's watch this movie today. I heard it's pretty good."

It was a monster movie that had been released many years ago. Luna had always wanted to watch it but never found the time and eventually missed its theatrical release until today.

Halfway through the movie, Abigail noticed that Luna had fallen asleep.

Even her favorite things couldn't hold her interest anymore.

Abigail decided not to turn off the TV and continued watching it herself.

After a while, Simond sent a message.

'If things don't work out, come back to Capitalis to relax. Don't involve yourself further if Luna isn't better by then.'

'I'm not as fragile as you think,' Abigail replied to the message.

'You asked me to investigate this old man, but I haven't found any issues so far. However, we will continue to monitor. Also, regarding the sleeping pills I gave you, don't give them to her all the time. She doesn't have ordinary depression; her body has developed some resistance to medication.'

She also sensed it.

In the past few days, Luna had started to become mentally and physically exhausted, unlike before.

'It's strange that no suspicious person has appeared around her for so long.'

Abigail read the message but did not reply.

Every day without finding any clues was torture for her.

'Could we be going in the wrong direction?' After a moment, she replied to Simond.

'I will approach it from a different angle. If you really can't handle the pressure, don't force yourself. Living with someone who has depression is unbearable for a normal person.'

Even though Abigail was mentally strong, she was still human with emotions. How could she not be affected?

Simond withdrew his binoculars as his brows furrowed.

"Mr. Simpson, what if... we have been wrong about Luna's case?" Zack suddenly spoke up.

Simond glanced at him and said, "Please continue."

"Now that Abigail is facing her own challenges, her relationship with Sean might also be subtly affected. Could it be that the mastermind behind all this wants to drive them apart?" Zack, a psychologist, observed the situation alongside Simond.

He had noticed cracks in the relationship between Abigail and Sean, and Abigail herself was starting to experience psychological issues.

It was like a ripple effect.

"But even if they break up, Sean and Abigail will still pose a threat. They won't become irrelevant like Luna just because their relationship is in trouble," Simond remarked as he considered this possibility.

However, upon further reflection, he found it too simplistic.

If their goal was to seek revenge on Sean and Abigail simply to separate a couple in love, it would be laughable.

"The true purpose remains to be seen," Zack replied.

Simond's expression tightened. "We've been investigating for so long, and there's still no result. These people are incredibly patient. Your point does make some sense. In any case, Abigail has indeed been affected to some extent. If necessary, let's bring her back to Capitalis first. We can discuss Luna's situation later."

Dealing with one case of depression is already challenging enough, and now we have another one. It seems that uncovering the truth of the matter will be a distant prospect.

All the crucial clues lie with Luna.

"Hmm." Zack nodded.

"Luna... I believe she is intentionally tormenting Abigail. Let's make an assumption. Suppose she holds a grudge against something related to Abigail's family, and that's why she has driven her to this state. When individuals are tormented by pain, they naturally question who is causing their suffering and eventually develop hatred towards that person." Simond looked at Zack with a malicious smile playing on his lips.
