The Spare Wife

Chapter 639 Afraid He Will Leave

Abigail sat for a while before returning to her room.

In the middle of the night, Abigail heard Sean coughing incessantly in the next room, so she immediately got up and went to check on him.

He was coughing severely, his face wrinkled. His skin had turned red. It was obvious that he had a high fever.

Abigail walked to his bedside and touched his burning hot cheek.

“I’ll call the family doctor,” she said while quickly pouring some water for him.

Sean coughed, feeling a sharp pain in his chest as if it was being torn apart. He didn’t expect that the injury in the Golden Triangle would have such serious consequences for him.

While making a call to the family doctor, Abigail poured water for Sean.

“Yes, he’s coughing severely and has a high fever. His physical condition is very, very poor. When you bring the medicine, please be careful. He has had previous injuries, and his internal organs are slowly deteriorating.” Abigail spoke calmly, but her voice couldn’t help but tremble slightly.

When she came back with the water cup, her eyes were already red.

After drinking the water, Sean felt a little better, but the corners of his eyes were also red.

Looking at Abigail’s expression, he felt that he couldn’t burden her any further. Tonight’s cough almost took half of his life.

He felt so uncomfortable that he wished he could just faint.

But he couldn’t ask Abigail to give up on him now. With her eyes red, he felt uncomfortable, too.

“I’m sorry…” Sean suddenly said hoarsely.

“Why are you apologizing?” A reddened-eyed Abigail still tried to be strong.

“For making you worry,” Sean said softly.

Abigail tucked him under the covers and then reached into the blanket, tightly holding his hand. “Sean, there’s nothing to worry about. You should know that if we really are together, there will be many difficulties in the future that we need to face together.”

Sean nodded before he started coughing again.

His lungs felt like they were about to explode.

Abigail watched him in pain but couldn’t do anything to help.

Half an hour later, the doctor finally arrived. He first gave Sean a fever-reducing medicine and then a powerful cough suppressant. After examining him, the doctor told Abigail, “The situation is not optimistic. We should take him to the hospital.”

“Will it help to take him to the hospital?” Abigail asked.

“The hospital has an oxygen machine. He will be short of breath with such severe coughing, and he needs to have a blood test. His body condition is weak, and even his cells have a weak ability to fight against viruses. We can only go to the hospital. Do you understand?” The doctor explained to Abigail.

And so, Abigail had to drive Sean to the hospital overnight.

After Sean got his blood tested, the doctor quickly put an oxygen mask on him and started an IV drip.

Abigail collapsed on the ground outside the ward alone, tears falling to the ground one by one.

It was only when the possibility of losing someone arose that she realized she should have been kinder to Sean. However, what good was regret?

The fact was, they always hurt each other.

“Sean, if you survive this, I promise I won’t get angry with you anymore…” she whispered, feeling utterly powerless.

Soon, Lawrence and Scarlett also arrived.

Lawrence pulled Abigail, who was sitting on the ground, up and held her pale, tear-streaked face, saying gently, “It’s okay, Abby. Your mom and I are looking for the best doctor. Don’t be afraid. He’ll be fine.”

Abigail’s eyes were a little swollen. “It was just a little cold… What about the future?”

Scarlett hugged Abigail and whispered, “Abby, there will be a way in the future too. He can’t bear to leave you. He won’t go easily.”

“I just didn’t expect the situation to be so serious… I thought, at worst, it would be a high fever that would be difficult to recover from. I didn’t expect him to end up in the hospital!” Abigail cried.

She could fight back when someone bullied her, and he could excel in design, but seeing Sean suffering from a cold like this… She felt helpless and in pain.

“Abby…” Scarlett also started crying. Even her strong daughter was so desperate, and she was completely at a loss now.

Lawrence patted Abigail’s shoulder. “Sean is still in the ward. You won’t do him any good by crying now.”

Abigail tightly pursed her lips and wiped away her tears. “You’re right…” Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

“Abby, I talked to the hospital and got you a bed. You can stay with him tonight. Your mom and I will be outside. If his condition stabilizes by tomorrow morning and there’s nothing serious, please go back and rest, okay?” Lawrence also gently wiped Abigail’s tears.

Abigail sniffed and nodded gently, “Okay.”

“Everything will be okay. With us here, you don’t have to face all this alone in the future.” Lawrence touched her hair gently.

Scarlett held her hand, her eyes red. “Abby, even though I’m useless, I will learn how to use food therapy. His health is weak, so we’ll use food therapy to help him recover. If one year is not enough, I will do it for two years. If two years are not enough, I will do it for ten years. As long as I am alive, I’ll help him. Don’t cry. My heart will break if you cry.”

Listening to their words, Abigail felt even more distressed.

She frowned, tears streaming down her face. Finally, she embraced Scarlett and threw herself into Lawrence’s arms.

“Dad… Mom… I’m so scared. I’m afraid he’ll just leave like this…” Abigail cried, pouring out her grievances to them.
