Chapter 826 Not Willing to Leave
"Okay, you handle it that way. Abigail and I are heading to New Yoke." Sean paused for a moment, then continued, "It's best to get it done within ten days."
He was concerned that the situation might change by the time they arrived in New Yoke, and there wouldn't be enough time to transfer the money.
"I'll initiate a twin program first; it will only take two to three hours, and I'll take my time with the rest.” Andrew knew that what he and Abigail were about to do was very risky.
Sean was willing to invest so much money in this app, so it must be very important.
"Then I'll leave it to you." Sean patted his shoulder and prepared to depart.
"Make sure to bring Ms. Quinn back.” Andrew turned to Sean.
Sean nodded.
The day they were scheduled to depart for New Yoke was two days away, and both Sean and Abigail were occupied.
L.Moon was still in a chaotic state, but fortunately, Garrett was lending a hand. As long as they could hold on until Abigail returned, everything would be fine.
"If I can't return, you'll have to figure things out on your own at L.Moon. Kingston will handle matters, and he will also make sure you're compensated." Abigail prepared for the worst.
Traveling abroad was different from being in Eswadia.
When things escalated, it could be dangerous out there.
Garrett remained silent on the phone for a long moment, then finally chuckled. "I still hope you can come back."
"I'll do my best," Abigail replied.
The call ended, and Abigail exited the room.
Downstairs, Lawrence and Scarlett were both occupied. Lawrence was busy at work, yet he was still at home assisting with meat chopping. Scarlett was rolling out dough.
Abigail stood at the top of the stairs, observing them bustling around. A strong sense of reluctance welled up within her.
It was only at that moment that she realized she had gradually become a part of this family. The reluctance and the fear of not being able to return… They would be saddened... Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.
Various emotions intertwined, causing a lump in her chest that lingered and couldn't dissipate.
Abigail felt the urge to stay at home, but she simply couldn't let go of Luna's matters.
Descending the stairs, Abigail forced a smile. "Mom, Dad, you've prepared so much pasta; will you be able to finish it all?"
Scarlett kneaded the dough, a faint smile on her face. "Is there any food that can't be finished?"
Lawrence set down the knife, gazing at Abigail with eyes that welled up with tears, but ultimately, he remained silent. Picking up the knife, he resumed chopping the meat.
Seeing him in this state, Abigail felt her heart ache, and she embraced him.
Lawrence set down the knife, wanting to caress Abigail, but his hands were greasy. "You're becoming more and more stubborn, you haven't even washed your hands and you're already
hugging me... No matter what, always remember to take care of yourself. Remember that Sean's grandparents are elderly, so if something unfortunate happens, they won't be able to bear it."
"Okay, we understand." Abigail's voice was laden with emotion.
Scarlett silently shed tears, indicating she didn't want Abigail to go abroad.
However, she also understood that Abigail and Luna had a strong bond from childhood to adulthood, much like siblings. If it hadn't been for Luna's support of L.Moon back then, Abigail wouldn't have been successful later on.
Now that Luna was in trouble, Abigail should be the one to rescue her.
But with so many options available, why does Abigail have to go herself?
After embracing Lawrence, Abigail assisted Scarlett in kneading the dough. "Mom, I have to go for this. I know you don't want me to, but Luna is my best friend. Even if I just go and watch, it's worth it."
"I won't stop you. Just be safe out there. I will wait for you to come back," Scarlett said, sniffling.
Abigail pinched Scarlett's face with hands covered in flour.
Scarlett gasped and noticed the mischievous smile on Abigail's face, prompting her to playfully wipe flour on Abigail's face, too.
The two of them engaged in playful banter for a while.
Upon Sean's return and seeing the flour on their faces, he couldn't help but ask, "Are you having a flour fight?"
"She's childish and kept teasing me," Scarlett pouted and muttered softly.
"Is the flight tomorrow night?" Lawrence inquired of Sean.
Sean nodded slightly, "I was considering whether to go as well, but I received a message today."
He proceeded to open the message.
The message detailed Eric's dire situation.
"I had to send that video. I'm certain Luna is with Levi. She's being held captive. When I arrived, Levi was very cautious... He injected her with a lot of drugs to control her. I've also been injected twice, and I'm rarely awake. This text message..."
Before he could finish his sentence, the message abruptly ended.
"That's not something Eric would send, right?" Abigail inquired about Sean.
"Yeah, I believe he was discovered while recording it, so he was forced to send it directly to us. If it was him, he would definitely wait until the last resort before sending it," Sean replied, his expression grave.
The message was sent by Jonell and the intention was to lure them over. Failure to comply would only worsen the situation for Eric and Luna.
"Is Eric attempting to lure us over?" Abigail clenched her teeth, her eyes filled with determination.
Sean reassured her, patting her shoulder. "We were already planning to go and were just hesitating a bit. Now, there's no need to hesitate any longer."
Abigail nodded in agreement and remained silent.
That evening, they enjoyed pasta prepared by Scarlett and Lawrence for dinner. The following day, Abigail and Sean were occupied all day.
It wasn't until evening that they departed for New Yoke.
