The Spare Wife

Chapter 635 Taking Medicine Properly 

To Sean, Vincent and Martha’s actions now seemed like desperate measures. Having suffered repeated defeats, they had resorted to such underhanded tactics to deal with Abigail.

After they left, Sean went to the kitchen with Abigail. He sniffed the scent of traditional medicine and wrinkled his nose. “This smell is really unpleasant. I drank it once when I was a child, and it was so bitter that I almost vomited.”

“If you’re so delicate, I really dare not marry you,” Abigail said calmly as she looked at the pot of medicine.

Sean could only sigh at her words. “I will take the medicine properly.”

In the evening, when Lawrence and Scarlett returned, Sean had already gone back to his place. At the dining table, Lawrence asked Abigail, “How did the examination go today?”

“Not very well,” Abigail replied. She didn’t want to say too much in case Luna felt guilty when she found out. Furthermore, she knew that Sean also didn’t want Luna to feel guilty about this matter.

“What do you mean by ‘not very well?” Scarlett asked gently, but Abigail couldn’t decide if she should tell them.

Seeing her hesitant expression, Lawrence sensed that the situation might be serious. “Tell us, and if we can’t solve it, we’ll find a way together,” Lawrence said lovingly as he looked at her.

Abigail looked at him and answered, “The doctor said that his internal organs had been severely damaged from his previous injuries in the Golden Triangle. The functions of his organs are declining, and he may live for a maximum of sixty years.”

Lawrence turned to Scarlett, who immediately held Abigail’s hand. “Don’t worry. When I’m free, I’ll help you find a better doctor.”

“Okay.” Abigail nodded. Since she didn’t know any famous or skilled doctors herself, she could only listen to Scarlett.

After dinner, Lawrence called Josh home. “Do you want to tell him about Sean’s situation?” Lawrence asked Abigail’s opinion before Josh returned.

Looking at him, she said, “What good does it do if we tell him? Besides, I think telling him will only add pressure to their conscience.”

Originally, if Sean hadn’t almost fainted for no reason, they wouldn’t have known about his health problems.

“I just think he should know so that he can treat Sean better in the future,” Lawrence said softly. After all, they would become a family in the future, and it was inevitable for family members to have disagreements. Should Josh have an argument with Sean about something, he should think about what he had done for Luna and give in.

Abigail was quite conflicted as she didn’t know whether she should tell Josh about this matter or not. Based on her understanding of Sean, he definitely wouldn’t want her to tell the Pearsons, but since Lawrence and Scarlett had accepted it, she felt that hiding it would only make them speculate.

It’s okay to tell Josh, but he can’t tell Lima. It’s not that we want to hide it from her, but I feel like we’re not at that stage yet” Finally, Abigail compromised.

Lawrence nodded. “I understand. You can trust Josh to handle it.”

As they were talking, Josh had already returned. “What’s going on?” he hurriedly asked as soon as he entered.

Abigail handed Sean’s test results to him, and Josh looked confused, but he slowly understood after reading them. “Do we need to find a doctor for him?” He returned the results to her.

Abigail frowned. “Not for now. Let’s see how he responds to traditional medicine first. Don’t tell Luna about this; it’s not her concern.”

“I know.” Josh nodded.

“And you can’t argue with him in the future. You have to be accommodating in everything, understand?” Lawrence’s main goal was to have Josh treat Sean better in the future.

“I understand, Dad.” Lawrence looked at Abigail because now, he was more worried about her. After all, she was the one who would spend her life with Sean, and no one was more heartbroken than her right now.

After Lawrence went upstairs, Josh looked at Abigail, wanting to say something but hesitating.

“Just say it. Don’t act like this.” Abigail felt that things weren’t that serious yet, and his behavior made her awkward.

“Are you upset?” Josh asked softly. As Abigail always had a cold demeanor, it was hard for him to figure out what she was thinking.

Abigail shrugged. “Being upset is useless. Many experiences have taught me that once something has happened, we should look forward. Dwelling in pain without any purpose won’t help.” She had already gotten used to moving forward in disappointment and sadness.

For a moment, Josh didn’t know what to say and furrowed his brows. “Regardless, whatever you need in the future, I will always be there for you.”

“There probably won’t be such a time,” Abigail replied.

“No matter what, once I say this, it won’t change,” Josh said. He hoped to do something to help her, but he felt powerless. Just like her, he couldn’t do anything.

The weather slowly turned colder, and Sean spent his days taking medicine. Gradually, Abigail felt a faint smell of herbs on his body.

The winter in Capitalis was freezing. One day, when Sean drove to L.Moon, his car had some problems due to heavy snow, so he took a cab and started coughing.

“Let’s go to the hospital,” Abigail said nervously when she saw him coughing.
