Chapter 563 Pleasing Her

Abigail and Sean changed into fresh clothes before entering the ICU at the hospital. Old Mr. Pearson looked frail and

sickly. After observing Abigail for a while, he closed his eyes.

“He’s glad to see you,” Josh whispered to Abigail.

Abigail hummed in response. They left the ICU after spending a little more time there.

“Do you want to visit Mom?” Josh couldn’t help asking again.

Abigail’s expression remained aloof. “Sure.”

Josh felt devastated when he heard her tone. He knew she still saw them as strangers. In Scarlett’s room, Lawrence

immediately brought a bag of snacks for her and sat down beside her. He then updated Abigail on Scarlett’s

condition.-

“She’s doing better now. She just needs to stay in the hospital for about two weeks,” Lawrence informed Abigail.

Abigail looked at Scarlett, who was eagerly watching her.

“Have you had breakfast?” she asked.

“Abigail, I’ve eaten. However, I can’t seem to eat much, and I don’t know why,” Scarlett said. pitifully, trying to

make Abigail feel sorry for her.

“In that case, it’s better to consult with a doctor,” Abigail replied coldly.

Scarlett’s eyes dimmed.

“Your body is your own. Only when you’ve figured things out for yourself will everything get better.” Abigail

remained calm and distant, treating herself as an outsider.

Scarlett felt relieved upon hearing Abigail’s words. At least Abigail had shown a bit of concern. for her health.

At that moment, Lawrence chimed in, “Abigail is right. We have to figure things out ourselves. I’ll have someone

send over some breakfast. You can have some soup.”

Scarlett nodded and stared at Abigail attentively. Her eyes were filled with hope.

Abigail declined bluntly, saying, “I just had breakfast and a drink. It’s fine.”

Lawrence appeared disappointed but still nodded with a smile. “Do you want to eat something else?”

“I don’t want to eat anything I still have some business to attend to, so I’ll be leaving Abigail said calmly. She felt

“In this world, there are no secrets that can’t be uncovered. As long as you’re determined to investigate, you’ll find

the truth,” Sean reassured him before glancing at his watch. “I have to go now.”

Lawrence nodded and watched as Sean left. What he wanted most was to bring Abigail back into the Pearson

Family rather than having her treat the company as her home.

“Dad…” Josh’s voice interrupted Lawrence’s thoughts.

Josh said seriously, “I’ll take care of Uncle Vincent’s case. You should spend more time with Mom and Abigail. She

can’t treat the company as her home forever. She needs to come. home eventually.”

“Okay.” Lawrence thought what Josh said made sense. “You can ask Uncle Terry for assistance. However, make sure

to keep it quiet. Don’t let the elders find out.”

Josh hummed and said nothing more.

“Your grandmother has always favored him. Even if he causes a huge scandal, she’ll still stand up for him. So, when

you investigate your uncle’s affairs, make sure she doesn’t find out. about it.” Lawrence had lost all respect for
