Chapter 496 Afraid I’ll Never See You Again Sean fell silent for a moment before saying, “I feel like she’s been acting strangely lately. I’m worried she might be doing something behind our backs that could put her in danger, so I had Xavien take a look.”

Abigail was a bit surprised by Sean’s response. She didn’t know how to respond for a moment. After a while, she said, “Thank you. I’ll call her and check. I talked to her last night, so there shouldn’t be a problem, right?”

“Just to be safe, ask again,” Sean said. “I also had Xavien go to her neighbor to ask about the police report.”

Just as Abigail was about to hang up, Sean added, “Don’t call immediately. Wait a bit, find a suitable excuse to call, and make it seem natural.”

“Sean, is there something you’re worried she might encounter? Is that why you’re being so cautious?” Abigail couldn’t help but ask.

“If we assume she’s facing danger, then it’s even more important for us to act like we know nothing. But if she isn’t, it won’t hurt.

Does that make sense?” Sean comforted Abigail. He was afraid she might rush back to see Luna without keeping her cool.

“You’re right, but your words are making me nervous,” Abigail admitted, unable to control her anxious thoughts.

Just as Sean was about to respond, it seemed like someone was talking to him. He replied at few sentences before turning back to Abigail. “Nothing’s wrong. Xavien said Luna went out to get takeout.”

“Oh, that’s good,” Abigail sighed with relief.

“But Xavien mentioned that she slipped in the bathroom last night and seemed to have hurt. her leg. She didn’t tell you?” Sean asked, feigning casualness.

“No, she probably didn’t want to worry me,” Abigail replied. When she sensed someone approaching her, she continued, “Thank you for letting me know all this. I’m a bit busy right now.”

She hung up the phone, her mind still on Luna’s leg injury.

After Sean ended the call, he told Xavien, “Find Cameron, keep Abigail busy, and make sure she doesn’t call Luna to ask about her leg. Make sure Cameron accomplishes this. Otherwise, he can forget about ever returning to my side!”

“Yes!” Xavien quickly went to make the call.

1/3 Luna had slipped in the bathroom in the middle of the night. Her loud cries of pain woke up the neighbors, but they hadn’t called an ambulance...

Abigail was busy until it was almost lunchtime. She was just about to call Luna when Alfie hurriedly came in.

“Cameron’s good eye seems to be having a problem. Can you go take a look? I have something to attend to today and might not be able to take care of him for a while.” Alfie’s tone was urgent, almost exaggerated.

Abigail couldn’t help but frown. “Tell the doctor I’ll see him after I’ve finished eating.”

“You need to go now; he’s afraid he might lose his eyesight and never see you again.” Alfie’s excuse was terrible.

Even so, Abigail still agreed to go with him.

As soon as Alfie saw her pick up her phone, he got nervous.

“Um, do you have an urgent matter?” he asked, deliberately probing.

“It’s nothing important. I’m just calling a friend,” Abigail answered.

“Which friend? Is it something urgent?” Alfie continued to ask.

Abigail looked at him with displeasure. “Is there something you want to say? Why are you prying into my business?”

“Oh, I was just thinking, what if I’m not in a position to hear? After all, we’re not very familiar with each other. What if you’re discussing something confidential, and it leaks out and causes trouble for you?” Alfie’s excuse was getting weaker by the second.

Abigail squinted at him for a moment, then decided to put her phone down. “What’s going on with Cameron? Why did you lie to me so that I have to go see him at the hospital?”

Alfie thought, You’re way too clever.

“I really don’t know, but he asked me to find you. He told me, no matter what, I have to trick. you into going to the hospital. He was looking all mysterious, too,” Alfie replied earnestly.

“What does my phone have to do with his situation?” Abigail continued to ask.

“Maybe he’s afraid you’ll notify Mr. Graham. If Mr. Graham rushes over in a panic and sees that Cameron’s fine, he’ll want to give him a good beating,” Alfie continued, feeling pleased with himself for coming up with a convincing story.

Abigail nodded, letting Alfie off the hook.

2/3 “Don’t worry. I won’t call Sean,” she said and was about to call Luna again.

Unfortunately, Alfie got anxious again. He scratched his head and looked around, and by now, the call had already connected.

Abigail was just about to ask Luna about her leg when Luna spoke first, “This mini-program is really fun. I spent a long time creating it. Can you tell me how to make mine look as real as yours?”

She didn’t mention her leg injury, and Abigail didn’t want to press the matter further. Instead, she happily explained how to use the Alfie stood nearby, sweating profusely.

program.

In the end, Abigail didn’t get the chance to ask about Luna’s leg injury long after the conversation ended.

Maybe Luna didn’t want me to worry, so she kept it to herself. Perhaps not asking was the right thing to do... Maybe Luna’s mood isn’t as good as I had thought, and accepting the fact that she can’t manage L.Moon isn’t as easy as it seems.

Alfie breathed a sigh of relief.

Cameron was just one step away from certain death...

He couldn’t help but let out a sigh.

“What’s wrong with you?” Abigail glanced at him.

Alfie immediately shook his head. “Oh, I heard that your friend resigned under pressure. I’m afraid she’s not in a good mood, so I was almost afraid to breathe.”

“What nonsense,” Abigail muttered.

Then, she took out her phone to check the messages from clients after saying that.

Yet, everything around her felt strangely eerie, especially in this moment of tranquility.
