The Spare Wife by Nadia Gordon
Chapter 598 Time to Go Home âGrandpa... Grandpa!â The voice of the girl was still replaying in Abigailâs mind. She couldnât control herself, and she started crying. She grabbed Seanâs shirt tightly, crying, though she had no idea she was doing that.
A doctor came charging in, and chaos ensued. Sean had to pick Abigail up in his arms, and he quickly told Analise, âShe probably remembered something.â Then, he took Abigail out of the room.
Analise took the box and followed Sean.
One whole day had gone by when Abigail regained her consciousness. She sat on the bed, muttering, âWhat happened... to Grandpa?â
âHe was announced dead yesterday.â Sean looked at her, feeling-worried.
Abigail hugged her legs, staring at the white blanket vacantly. Silently.
Sean was still gazing at her, feeling sorrowful. âWhat did you remember?â Gary just woke up, and he died because he got too mad.
âJust little bits. I saw my younger self throwing paper airplanes while I was on Grandpaâs shoulders,â Abigail said slowly. âI saw myself falling into the sea. Whereâs my golden lock?â
Sean took the lock out of his pocket and handed it to her. Abigail took it and held it tightly as she stared at it. âI remember this lock, just a little bit. Do you know why I like designing? Because this lock has always been in my memories. Itâs beautiful and timeless. I remember a hand holding it while I was trapped under the dark waters.â
She now knew that hand belonged to Martha.
Sean pinched her cheek. âWhether you can remember or not means nothing now, Abigail.â
Abigail smacked his hand away. âHow can you know that? I want to remember everything. All the memories of me and Grandpa.â
She had a feeling she liked Gary the most when she was little.
âTake your time. The Pearsons arenât in a good state. Patricia seems to hate you a lot,â Sean commented.
Abigailâs face fell when she heard that. âBecause she likes Vincent a ton, even if that man killed her husband.â
Sean said calmly, âWrong. She thinks you killed her husband. None of this wouldâve happened if you hadnât gone to the ward, or so she thinks. She thinks you shouldnât go back home at this moment in time, and she blames your parents for doing this.â
Abigail sneered. âShe blames us? Grandpa wouldnât have been hospitalized if not for Vincent!â
âHe told you to go home. Are you going to do that?â Sean cared more about that now.
Abigail was still hesitant about that. âIâll ask Grandma,â she muttered in the end.
Analise came in with a lunch box. When she saw Abigail awake, she quickly came over. âYouâre finally awake. You made me worry!â Analise was already sobbing and couldnât say a word. âI was worried sick...â
âIâm fine. I just remembered some memories, and it hurt my head, but Iâm better now.â Abigail wasnât in a serious condition, just like she said.
Analise sniffled. âEat before you get some rest. The doctor said youâve been exhausting yourself. You have to get some rest.
Donât work too much.â
âOkay,â Abigail commented meekly. Analise isnât getting any younger. I shouldnât make her worry. While Abigail was eating, she asked Analise what she should do.
Analise sighed. âGary wanted you to go back, and I want you to do the same. He left... with regrets, and I feel sad about it, too. I should never have lied and not let you go home. I couldnât sleep well after seeing him leave with regrets.â
âThis isnât your fault.â Abigail smiled.
Analise smiled. âNow Iâm more accepting of things. I canât dwell on the past too much. If I do that now, Iâm going to fall sick. I want to stay healthy and see you live a happy life at home.â She knew Patricia hated Abigail, but so what? Abigail was part of the Pearson Family. She should never be abandoned and left for dead just because of some villainsâ wishes. I need to stay strong and protect my grandchild.
âI will, Grandma.â Abigail ate slowly.
âForgive your parents, Abigail. They have it hard too. I know they hurt you, but give them a chance to change. What do you want them to do if you wonât give them a chance?â Analise checked Lawrence out earlier, and he looked listless, yet he still hung on.
This mess that befell the Pearsons was all because of Patricia spoiling Vincent. Lawrence was more than disappointed in her.
Ever since Garyâs passing, Scarlett didnât talk to Patricia either.
âGive me some time, Grandma.â Abigail couldnât accept those two as her family right away.
Analise nodded. âI know. Donât worry. I wonât force you or anything.â She then gave Sean a look of trust. âSean, the Pearsonsâ
case is a little complex, so help them out for a couple of days. Lawrence is hanging on, but only barely. Iâm worried he might fall sick. Josh canât handle things alone, and heâs grieving too.â
âIâll do it.â Sean smiled like an obedient little puppy.
