Chapter 694 Can''t Hold It Anymore


    Zack knew that Simond always had suspicions about people''s malicious intentions.


    And most of the time, his suspicions were urate.


    Human nature, often fragile, couldn''t withstand the trials of hardship and the allure of fame and


    fortune.


    "That''s also a possibility. She relies on Abigail but doesn''t treat her well. She allows her negative


    emotions to affect Abigail and never considers what''s best for her. This is inconsistent with her


    previous behavior." Zack never denied Simond''s suspicions.


    "If Luna is on the enemy''s side, what Abigail is doing now may be meaningless. Perhaps revenge is


    not asplicated as we think." Simond narrowed his eyes, his expression cold. "Wouldn''t it be a


    sess if everyone is miserable?"


    "I just hope Ms. Quinn''s perseverance pays off." Zack still believed in Abigail''s determination.


    Simond let out a mockingugh. "If perseverance alone guaranteed sess, then everyone who


    persists would seed. We need to be prepared. Once Luna is no longer useful, we must


    immediately remove Abigail from her. We can''t waste any more time on a sick person."


    "Yes," Zack immediately responded.


    ...


    When Abigail went out alone to buy groceries, she didn''t head straight to the supermarket. Instead,


    she stood at the entrance, her gaze unfocused as she drifted off.


    She needed a moment to quietly release her inner frustration.


    Abigail wasn''t ming Luna for making her feel bad; she simply felt as if a heavy weight was


    pressing down on her chest, making it difficult to breathe.


    "Hey... aren''t you na?" Mr. Horton''s voice suddenly rang out beside her.

    Abigail turned to look at him and immediately smiled. "Hello, Mr. Horton."


    "You seem upset. Do you want toe to my yard?" Mr. Horton could sense what Abigail was


    going through.


    "No. I need to go to the supermarket to buy groceries." Abigail didn''t want too much interaction with


    him, whether he was good or bad.


    "I''m going to the supermarket too. Let''s go together." Mr. Horton was incredibly enthusiastic.


    She couldn''t refuse and could only agree with a nod.


    As they walked, Mr. Horton introduced her to the local customs of Saraville. Suddenly, he said, "You


    shouldn''t frequent those antique streets. The items there are all fake. A few years ago, I heard that


    someone was selling radioactive stones, which made many people sick. They were all arrested.


    Ordinary people like you can''t tell the difference."


    "Can''t we even buy them for fun?" Abigail couldn''t help but click her tongue. Nowadays, people


    would do anything for money, even at the cost of their reputation.


    "It''s best to test them when you get home," Mr. Horton said, hunching over.


    Abigail thanked him for the reminder.


    At the supermarket, she selected expensive ingredients, and Mr. Horton helped her choose.


    "If you truly want fresh ones, go to the market. These are all frozen. No matter how carefully you


    choose, they''ve been stored for a long time," he whispered to Abigail after the shopkeeper left.


    She nodded. "You''re right. But I can''t go to distant markets."


    After saying this, she felt she had said too much and immediately fell silent.


    Mr. Horton said, "If you need something next time, you can tell me. I go to the market at six o''clock


    every morning when I jog. The produce there is very fresh."


    "That would be too much trouble for you." Abigail immediately waved her hand.


    The product might not be the best, but she could put more thought into it.


    If she had to consider so much, she would have to be like Sean''s family, having the best ingredients


    delivered every day, never keeping leftovers, and being meticulous about everything.


    "It''s no trouble at all," Mr. Horton said with a smile.


    Abigail thanked him again.


    After purchasing the groceries and returning home, she felt much better.


    Perhaps chatting with Mr. Horton had helped alleviate her inner frustration.


    She brought the groceries and snacks back home to find Luna reclining on the couch, resting. She


    suspected that Luna had probably not slept well the previous night.


    Abigail ced the snacks and fruits on the coffee table and went into the kitchen to start cooking.


    Her daily responsibility now was to attend to Luna''s needs, which kept her upied from morning


    till night.


    This was even more tiring than taking care of a child.


    Abigail spent nearly three hours preparing a meal.


    Upon waking up, Luna settled in the living room, indulging in snacks and watching TV.


    "Don''t eat so much. We''ll be having dinnerter," Abigail had reminded her multiple times.


    Luna disregarded her, as if she was lost in her own world.


    This was a regr urrence—frustrating for Abigail, yet she knew that getting angry wouldn''t


    help.


    Since arriving, Luna''s actions seemed designed to raise one''s blood pressure.


    Abigail often found herself seething in solitude in the bathroom, trying to regainposure before


    facing Luna again.


    Mentally preparing herself, she returned to the kitchen before venturing out once more.


    Approaching Luna, Abigail gently took the snacks from her hands.


    Luna''s hands were suddenly empty, and she stared nkly before expressing impatience, "What


    are you doing?!"


    "I''ve told you not to eat so much. Dinner is almost ready. You were so absorbed in your show that


    you ignored me, so I had toe over and assist you," Abigail exined while tidying up the coffee


    table.
