I Want a Divorce by Nadia Gordon

Chapter 237 That’s It For Us

As soon as Abigail rushed to the hospital and found Analise unconscious in bed, she burst into uncontrollable tears.

Josh’s heart ached at her cries, and he extended á comforting hand to pat her gently. “Don’t worry, Abigail. Your grandma is just sleeping. The doctors have checked on her and assured us she hasn’t been injured or harmed in any way.”

She clutched her grandmother’s hand tightly, fearing that she might lose her again. “It’s all my fault. None of this would have happened if I had been more decisive and divorced Sean earlier.”

He handed her a tissue to wipe away her tears and softly said, “It’s not your fault. You mustn’t blame yourself. The responsibility lies with the kidnapper, not you.”

With teary red eyes, she looked at him gratefully. “Thank you, Mr. Pearson.”

“I didn’t act alone. Once my men received the news, we immediately called the police and rushed to the scene. We discovered that only Joan and your grandmother were at home. But, considering how much Kingston cares for Joan, it’s strange that he left her alone.” Josh patiently explained the situation to Abigail in a calm tone. He was never one to take credit for others‘ efforts, and he had no intention of deceiving her.

After contemplating his words, she bit her red lips and said, “I got it. Well, I’d still like to thank you for all the effort and hard work you’ve put in. If you ever need anything, just let me know.”

He responded with a faint smile. “It’s fine. You don’t have to say that. Like I mentioned, we’re a family, and whatever’s your problem is also my problem.”

Abigail understood that she might come off as annoying if she continued the conversation, so she decided to remain silent.

“I’ve made some arrangements with the office so that there’s an additional bed for you to rest in. You’ve been out and about for the whole day, so you should get some rest. I’ll tell someone to come pay a visit tomorrow.” Josh’s gaze turned gentle as he spoke.
