Chapter 39
Eric picked up Abigail’s phone and dialed Laciota’s number, holding it up to Abigail’s ear.
“Don’t say anything out of line. You know what bears do. Tell her you’re safe and tell her you’re willing to stay here.”
She clenched her fisis.
The phone quickly connected, and Jacinta’s anxious voice came through. “Abby! You finally called me! Are you okay? Erie didn’t do anything to you,
Abigail hit her lip and replied, “This time, fat, I’m doing well. He hasn’t done anything to me, Go back! I’ve been injured and can’t see you. I’ve decided to move hack here. This sorry, I’m staying here willingly. You don’t need to worry about me anymore.”
“You’re lying!” Jacinta, who knew Abipali sa well, immediately sensed something was wrong. She knew that once Abigall decided to divorce Eric, she would never move back.
“Did he threaten you?” she asked. “Don’t be afraid. Tell me, and I’ll find a way to get your
“No,” Abigail quickly replied. “Really, it’s not like that. Don’t do anything rash can’t see now, and I’m afraid staying with you will be a burden, so moving back here is for the better. Someone can take carent me. Don’t worry. I’m really fine. Eric said he will find me a new come to heal my eyes.”
Jacinta asked, “Can you trust him? He even took the commea dimated to you before!”
“I don’t think he’s lyding, this time,” Abipal said softly.
Jacinta was silent for a moment. “Alright. Since you’ve made your decision, I can only respect it. But if he ever mistreated you in the future, remember to
Tarima hung up the phone, her face serious.
Ryan asked, “How is it?”
“Not good,” she said, frowning. “Eric must have threatened Abigail Otherwise, she wouldn’t say things like that.
“She’s acting very strange. And Erie said i would cure her eyes–hime is that possible? I don’t kw what’s going on with bet now.
She looked at the villa before her, her gose lingering on the window, trying to spot Abigail
Ryan’s eyes darkened as he stared at the building. “It seems like we can’t get in for now, We’ll find another way later. Il help. Abigail should be fine for
“That’s all we can do.” Jacinta gritted her teeth. “Eric is a despicable bastard!”
“I’ve said what Enended to say. Don’t hurt Jac, or I’ll never forgive you,” Abigail said coldly.
Eric replied indifferently, “As long as she doesn’t do anything; to challenge my patience, I have no interest in dealing with her.”
She didn’t respond, turning to retum to her room. For now, she couldn’t leave. She would have to think of a long–term plan.
Abigail had spent two days in the villa, which was relatively peaceful Eric rarely appeared; Mary and Peter took care of her
On Monday moming, Eric said he would take her for an eye checkup. He had an early meeting and would go to the company first, leaving Peter to take her to the hospital. Alter his meeting, he would head to the hospital.
Abigail didn’t care whether he would come or not. The care she had longed for, which she had never received, now came only after she lost sight. It was truly ironic.
After the meeting, Eric stood up and said to Nicole, “I have something to do later, so push back the schedule for this morning”
Nicole couldn’t help asking “Eric, what’s going on? Do you need me to go with you?”
“No need,” he refused, walking out swiftly.
Her expression darkened. She had just overheard Peter call Eric, saying he had already taken a
“Mrs. Gomez” to the hospital.
