Chapter 496 Afraid I’ll Never See You Again

Sean fell silent for a moment before saying, “I feel like she’s been acting strangely lately. I’m worried she might be doing something behind our backs that could put her in danger, so I had Xavien take a look.”

Abigail was a bit surprised by Sean’s response. She didn’t know how to respond for a moment. After a while, she said, “Thank you. I’ll call her and check. I talked to her last night, so there shouldn’t be a problem, right?”

“Just to be safe, ask again,” Sean said. “I also had Xavien go to her neighbor to ask about the police report.”

Just as Abigail was about to hang up, Sean added, “Don’t call immediately. Wait a bit, find a suitable excuse to call, and make it seem natural.”

“Sean, is there something you’re worried she might encounter? Is that why you’re being so cautious?” Abigail couldn’t help but ask.

“If we assume she’s facing danger, then it’s even more important for us to act like we know nothing. But if she isn’t, it won’t hurt. Does that make sense?” Sean comforted Abigail. He was afraid she might rush back to see Luna without keeping her cool.

“You’re right, but your words are making me nervous,” Abigail admitted, unable to control her anxious thoughts.

Just as Sean was about to respond, it seemed like someone was talking to him. He replied at few sentences before turning back to Abigail. “Nothing’s wrong. Xavien said Luna went out to get takeout.”

“Oh, that’s good,” Abigail sighed with relief.

“But Xavien mentioned that she slipped in the bathroom last night and seemed to have hurt. her leg. She didn’t tell you?” Sean asked, feigning casualness.

“No, she probably didn’t want to worry me,” Abigail replied. When she sensed someone approaching her, she continued, “Thank you for letting me know all this. I’m a bit busy right

now.”

She hung up the phone, her mind still on Luna’s leg injury.
