Abigail’s Second Life (Abigail Quinn)

Chapter 755 One Lie After Another

"Sparrow! Sparrow!" Larry exclaimed with joy.

Abigail held him and walked to the window, allowing him to observe the little sparrow up close.

The little sparrow chirped, and Larry imitated its call.

Abigail realized that as his gene mutation issues were slowly being resolved, Larry became livelier.

He used to sleep all the time. He would either sleep after his meal or quietly bite his fingers and stare at the ceiling. He rarely had moments when he shouted aloud like this.

Andrew pushed his wheelchair to Abigail's side. His eyes were filled with tenderness as he looked at her. "What does it feel like to have a child?"

Considering he was mentally immature, he didn't pay much attention, even if his body occasionally reacted.

Abigail felt a bit embarrassed. "I haven't given birth, so I don't know. Larry is my friend's child."

Upon hearing that, Andrew nodded before asking, "Will you have a child with your fiancé?"

"Of course," Abigail answered without hesitation.

If I hadn't encountered these events, Sean and I would have remarried long ago and already considered having children.

Andrew visibly looked disappointed. "Why don't you have a child with me?"

Abigail couldn't help but chuckle. "How can I have a child with you? My feelings for you are that of a friend, not love. I won't get aroused, and we won't have any intimate connection."

"Um… Is it useless even if I try my best?" Andrew was very naive.

Abigail smiled, stretched out one arm, and patted his shoulder. "It's no use. Love is mysterious. Once you fall for someone, you only have eyes for them. It's not love if you waver."

"Alright." Having failed in his confession, Andrew pushed his wheelchair out in disappointment.

Abigail shook her head gently. I can't deny that Andrew is intelligent in many things. But when it comes to relationships, he is indeed a bit childish.

…

Sean was in the middle of a business discussion when his phone kept buzzing with message notifications.

He picked up his phone and checked the messages. When he saw the continuous stream of photos sent from an unknown number, he clenched his phone tightly.

In the pictures, Abigail was holding a child by the window while a stranger sat on a chair and looked at her tenderly. NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

A child… Where the hell did Abigail get this child from?

Moreover, they seem very close.

Sean felt his blood freeze as he stared at the photos repeatedly. After making sure they weren't photoshopped, he called Xavien in.

Upon seeing the unprecedented paleness on Sean's face, Xavien became slightly worried. "Mr. Graham, what's wrong?"

"Check these photos. See if they're real or photoshopped." Sean handed his phone to Xavien, his lips losing their color.

Xavien took the phone. Once he saw the photos, he, too, felt as if he had been struck by lightning.

"Ms. Quinn… It can't possibly be her, right?" Xavien immediately defended Abigail.

The child in the photos seems to be a few months old. So, it can't be hers, right? After all, she should have been showing signs of pregnancy starting last year if she was pregnant.

"Look it up first." Sean tried to keep himself calm.

Xavien swiftly took the order and left with the phone in his hand.

Deep down, he hesitated whether to ask Abigail. But if he did, Sean would definitely fire him if things went wrong.

Therefore, he eventually chose to say nothing for now.

Sitting in his office, Sean felt like his heart had been hollowed out.

He couldn't convince himself, no matter whose child it was in the photo. If it turns out to be true, that means Abigail had been hiding it from me all along, from her strange behavior to this moment.

Whose child is it? Why did a child suddenly appear? Why did she keep it a secret from me?

She probably even kept it from Kevin. Otherwise, Kevin would have disclosed some information to me.

Oh, I can't! I can't accept that Abigail had kept this from me.

The photo looks like a family of three, whereas I look like a fool who's thinking about her day and night in Eswadia.

I know Abigail is hiding some secrets, but I never expected it to be such a huge secret.

Xavien returned after a long while.

After handing Sean the phone, he whispered, "The photo is real, and it was from today. I know where this place is. It's the Apex Research Institute."

Xavien had previously investigated the Apex Research Institute due to its potential connection to the Davidson Family.

Now that he connected the dots, everything seemed to fall into place.

They set out to find Abigail.

Abigail isn't participating in any competition. Instead, she's leading a different life at the Apex Research Institute.

She's living with a child under the care of a stranger.

But why?

Xavien couldn't comprehend.

"Gather information about the Apex Research Institute. Find out its occupants and that child's identity. Find out everything for me!" Sean's face turned livid.

Nevertheless, he believed that Abigail should not have kept this from him.

He could accept everything else, but her unexplained adoption of a child and cohabitation with a stranger was too much for him.

What does she think of herself?

The last time I heard that man's voice, he had appeared in her room after she had fallen asleep.

Yet, she still deceived me!

As for Xavien, he was deeply concerned about Sean. He left the office and breathed out a sigh.

Meanwhile, inside the office, Sean raised his hand to support his forehead. He wanted to send a message or call Abigail. But after a second thought, he realized it would yield the same result. What's the point? She will just deceive me and continue to lie.

It was the first time Sean had been so furious. He smashed everything on his desk, including his computer and phone.

The sound of crashing emanated from the office.

Xavien, who sat outside, listened to the shattering sounds with a heavy heart.
