Chapter 713 Relief
Sean disregarded propriety and acted without hesitation.
Upon returning home, Scarlett immediately noticed the hickey on Abigail's neck as her daughter changed her shoes at the door. She turned to look at Sean, questioning him with her eyes and making a small gesture with her hands.
Sean nodded, embraced Abigail from behind, and kissed her ear. "We're doing fine. Don't worry."
Scarlett's cheeks flushed upon witnessing their affectionate display. "O-Okay. I'll have the staff prepare some food for you."
Abigail pushed Sean away slightly. "You're so clingy."
"Am I? Isn't that what love is?" Sean always had a smile on his lips.
Abigail turned to him. "All those sweet-nothings from your lips... Have you been eating honey?"
"I've been savoring your sweetness," Sean flirted.
Abigail touched her arm. "It's kind of uncomfortable. Stop it."
Sean laughed in amusement.
The family enjoyed a harmonious and happy atmosphere.
Meanwhile, Luna was in a foul mood.
She sat in the yard, with Charles quietly scolding her as he helped her plant flowers.
"You were supposed to ruin their relationship. Instead, you only brought them closer!" Charles was angry that Abigail and Sean's relationship had actually improved.
It seemed they had underestimated Sean's feelings for Abigail.
Luna dug the soil with a small shovel, her face indifferent. "How can you blame me? I'm her best friend. You know what our relationship was like before. If I upset her, she'll only seek comfort from Sean. She won't argue with me. And even if they do argue, Sean will forgive her."
He looked at her. "Do you have a better plan?"
Luna fell silent.
Charles wasn't in a hurry. Some things had to be done step by step. It would be worse if people caught on to the plan.
"I can't do anything!" She threw the shovel away in frustration and stomped towards the house.
She envied Abigail. If Abigail were in her position, would Sean still love and pursue her tirelessly?
Luna closed the curtains once she reached her room.
Then, she shuffled to her desk and retrieved a fruit knife from the drawer.
It was too painful. She didn't want to torment Abigail. The sight of the tortured look on Abigail's face caused Luna even more anguish.
If she died, she wouldn't hurt anyone anymore.
So, in the dimly lit room, Luna did what she had to do. As she watched the blood flow, she burst into laughter. She couldn't help but feel a weight lifted off her shoulders.
"Abigail... I'll leave Larry to you. I can't hold on anymore. I don't want to hurt you. It hurts me more when I hurt you. It feels like I'm suffocating in the air whenever I do."
Eventually, she lost so much blood that she couldn't hold on any longer. Soon, her legs gave way and she crashed to the ground. As she watched the river of blood flow, she smiled. After a while, she began to sob. "I envy you, Abigail. I miss Josh. I want to be with him. I want Josh so badly. Josh..."
She called out his name as her body temperature gradually dropped.
As her consciousness started to fade, she suddenly felt as if the dark space surrounding her was torn apart.
A faint light poured down from above.
Josh squatted beside her, holding her up. "Luna!"
She was covered in blood. Hell, the floor was covered in blood. Josh's mind went blank at the sight.
Could a person really bleed that much?!
Luna struggled to open her eyes. When she vaguely saw a figure resembling Josh, she smiled in relief. "You're here."
Josh wasted no time carrying her out of the room.
The woman who witnessed it all was terrified.
As soon as he rushed out of the house and got into the car, he immediately stepped on the gas pedal without hesitation.
Simond's urgent voice came through the earpiece, asking, "How is she?"
"She has lost a significant amount of blood," Josh's voice trembled.
Simond fell silent for a moment before suggesting, "Should we inform Abigail?"
"I'm not sure. Let's go to the hospital first!" Josh was at a loss. He only knew that Luna could be saved if they went to the hospital.
What should he do if something happened to Luna? He had been going through the motions for two whole years, and still, he couldn't let go of this feeling for her.
Luna was rushed into the emergency room while Josh paced back and forth outside the door.
He thought of the relieved smile Luna showed when she looked at him. Soon, tears started rolling down his cheeks as he whispered, "Why would you make such a foolish choice? You're not so fragile. Why would you choose to give up on yourself? What about me? Am I not worth living for?"
Josh regretted hiding in the shadows for so long.
If he had been braver and defended her at the first opportunity... If he had just approached her, held her hand, and told her that he still loved her, that his family was still waiting for her... Would tonight's incident have been avoided?
After Sean and Abigail finished their work, he received a flurry of texts from Xavien just as he was about to go to bed.
So, he picked up his phone and made sure Abigail wasn't around before checking his messages.
"Luna is in Saraville. She has harmed herself and is now in the hospital. Her life is hanging in the balance. I'm still monitoring the situation."
"Should we inform Ms. Quinn?"
"Josh is also there. He was the one who found her. I had someone take photos of the scene. It's very bloody."
Next came the photos.
Sean looked at the shocking scene, furrowing his brows.
