Chapter 372 Rubbing Salt in the Wound
That night, Abigail showed up at the hospital with some expensive gifts. However, she didn’t head directly to Colby’s
ward. Instead, she told the nurses to inform Lina about her presence first. Soon enough, both Lina and Kelly showed
up together. “What are you guys doing here?” Lina questioned harshly the moment she saw Abigail.
“I think they’re here to apologize, Kelly muttered softly. Lina took one glance at the gifts and hampers in Abigail and
Analise’s hands before she let out a scoff. I’m sure you guys drugged some of the food inside. You guys are trying
to poison all of us, aren’t you? Us Grahams aren’t taking any gifts from you guys. We don’t want to die in your
hands!” Lina hissed.
Abigail remained silent, and Analise held onto Abigail’s hand while keeping her lips sealed as well. Their silence
seemed to trigger Lina even more. “I’m warning you guys now-you guys should stop putting on an act! You’re trying
to use these gifts to please us, just so that you can continue. latching onto Sean and sucking all his money out of
him. There’s no way I’m letting you do that!” Lina raised her voice.
“What are you talking about?” Sean’s voice sounded from a distance. When Kelly saw Sean, her face instantly lit up
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtwith joy. “You’re back!” Her warm and intimate tone made her sound as if she was speaking to her husband.
However, Sean simply ignored Kelly and stared at Lina instead. “I was the one who told them to visit Grandpa,” he
said. Lina seemed rather embarrassed by her actions at that moment. Meanwhile, Abigail simply held onto her
grandmother’s hand without saying anything. “Why should they visit?! They’re the ones who brought upon all this
trouble!” Lina mumbled under her
breath.
Sean knew that Abigail felt bad after what happened with Colby, so he turned around to speak to her. “You guys
should go take a look at him. He’s in a decent condition today, and he’s able to speak now.”
“Alright,” Analise replied before she led Abigail toward Colby’s ward. Lina, on the other hand, let out a scoff before
she followed behind them with a resentful expression on her face. “I told them to visit Grandpa. Why are you
tagging along?” Sean stopped her.
“Aren’t you worried that-”
“They didn’t do it intentionally, Grandma, so you shouldn’t put all the blame on them. The Graham Family is a
wealthy household-we’re not demanding and irrational thugs.” There was a hint of impatience in Sean’s tone. Even
though he was disappointed in Abigail, he still didn’t like it when his grandmother acted that way.
Lina looked like she had more to say, but Kelly stopped her in time. “Mr. Quinn is right. You shouldn’t injure their
pride like that, Grandma. There’s no conclusion for this incident yet.” For some reason, Kelly’s words managed to
keep Lina silent. Sean shot them another icy glare before he strode along the hospital corridor to find a couch
where he could rest.

When Analise showed up in Colby’s ward with tears in her eyes, Colby beamed at her. “It’s fine.” Abigail placed the
gifts down. She had a lot of questions in her mind, but Colby didn’t give her a chance to voice them. “I think I’m out
of water, Abigail. Could you help me grab two bottles of the more expensive brand of water?”
“Sure.” Abigail replied without hesitation. She figured that he wanted to be careful with the water he consumed
since his stomach was probably weak after he got it pumped. Once Abigail left the room, Colby turned to look at
Analise. “I’m sorry that you had to suffer.”
“It was nothing. Sean’s friend in Capitalis once risked their life to save us, so we’re even now that I’ve helped you
out in return,” Analise replied in a gentle tone.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmColby gazed at the ceiling for a long while before he spoke again. “One day, they’ll understand all of our efforts.”
“I just want Abigail to be safe and well. I don’t need much else,” Analise replied. Colby nodded and kept quiet after
that.
Sean came along with Abigail to get water for Colby. Cameron cleared off the hospital grounds. for them. “Why
didn’t you tell me before you came?” There was a hint of annoyance in Sean’s voice as he spoke to Abigail while
walking beside her.
“Well, if I told you about it, wouldn’t you end up saying that I’m not being sincere?” Abigail asked in return. “You
wanted us to apologize, and we came here with pure and sincere intentions. Isn’t that good enough for you?”
Sean pressed his lips together. I was speaking out of anger back then. Does Abigail think that I told her to come
here just so that she and her grandmother could get a scolding?
“Did you decide not to inform me just so that you could get my grandmother to scold you? Does her scolding make
you feel better?” Sean snapped.
Abigail immediately shoved a bottle of water into his arms. “Do I seem like such a manipulative person to you,
Sean? That’s how you perceive me, huh!”
“You could’ve called me to make sure that both you and your grandmother wouldn’t receive a scolding. But instead,
you allowed my family to shame you and your grandmother. Does that make you feel good? Does that make you
feel like you don’t owe us anything anymore?” Sean clutched onto the water bottle as he spoke with anger in his
voice.
