Chapter 554 Is That All?

Sean chuckled softly as he sat down beside Abigail and gazed at Scarlett’s sleeping face. He gently spoke, “When I was young, my parents passed away and my grandparents raised me. The year they died, I was struck by a grave illness that affected both my physical and mental

Abigail remained silent, gnawing at her straw.

“People say that men don’t cry easily, but I couldn’t help but sob my heart out every day,” he confessed, having already forgotten the trauma of losing his parents.

He believed that he would never recover from the pain, but time proved to be cruel. Gradually, all the pain and sorrow he felt faded away.

She looked at him intently. “What happened next?”

“A month later, I didn’t cry as often as before. A year later, I stopped crying altogether. Now, I have almost forgotten the agonizing pain I felt back then. At most, I just miss them,” Sean replied, placing a strawberry in his mouth.
