Tears danced in Abigail's eyes. "Why are you leaving me behind? I've become more capable than the old me."

"Abby, sure, you're capable, but your presence here is pertinent. Say, if Luna's rescued, her sanctuary is here. You've got allies here, too," Sean consoled, wrapped her in an embrace, and affirmed his promise "I'll be back."

Abigail held him tightly. "Is Jonell a formidable opponent?"

"I haven't fully assessed the situation yet, but as a precaution, we need someone to remain here. There's a floor that has been converted into an operating room. Should there be any emergencies, they would need someone calm and sensible. Xavien might be capable, but you're on the ball," came Sean's whispers.

Abigail bit her lip in the silence.

The existence of an operating room hidden within the hotel indicated that Sean was aware of the precarious circumstances.

He whispered again after releasing Abigail from his embrace. "Fret not; I'll protect myself as I still want to make you my wife."

The tears swam in her eyes. "Sure."

Just before he entered the car to leave the hotel grounds, he gazed at Abigail's residence before heading off.

The fact that someone had Jonell's past wiped clean had already hinted at ominous secrets, and Sean's recent receipt of trouble information left him worried for Luna and Eric's well-being.

There was no denying Jonell could have moved Luna to a different location the moment Abigail and Sean landed.

If Jonell could treat his own nephew in such a manner, there was no thinking about what his erased pasts constituted. Luna already suspected that the man had changed when she ran into him the other night.

Days later, a bang roused Abigail from her sleep as gunfire erupted outside in the wee hours.
