The Spare Wife

Chapter 358 Disappointment Reached Its Peak
Abigail suppressed her anger and questioned, “Kelly, what happened to Old Mr. Graham?”
“How would I know? Even if you’re upset, you can’t just accuse me, can you?” Kelly’s tone shifted. from anger to aggrieved in
just a moment. “I admit my tone was bad earlier, but it was because I couldn’t find you when I needed you. Do you
know how many times Grandpa tried to call you?”
Abigail hadn’t received any calls. She checked her phone repeatedly but found no missed calls from Colby.
“How is he?” Abigail’s tone softened slightly.
“He’s still getting his stomach pumped, and we don’t know if he’ll make it. If it had been a few minutes late, he might not have
survived.” Kelly’s tone sounded way gentler this time.
“I’ll arrive at the hospital in a moment,” Abigail uttered calmly, but she still didn’t believe she was wrong to suspect Kelly.
Kelly’s intentions in coming to Pendorf were clear, so no matter what she said, Abigail wouldn’t
trust her.
She was about to hang up the phone when Lina’s voice came from the other end. “Give me the phone. Why are you helping
her?”
“Grandma, Abigail had a valid reason for not answering Grandpa’s calls...”
“Give it to me!”
The conversation between the two sounded on the phone.
Abigail immediately heard Lina’s voice as she uttered, “You don’t have to come anymore. Sean said he called you an hour ago,
and you agreed to come over. An hour later, you’re still on the road. If you didn’t want to come, you should’ve just said so! Even if
that old man passes away, it will be none of your business!”
“When he called me, I was on the plane, about to take off-”

“You don’t need to explain to me. I know you hate me, Sean, and our entire family. The old man. called you over a dozen times
for help, yet you didn’t pick up a single call. You hold grudges against me. I can understand that. But wasn’t he good enough for
you? Wasn’t Sean good enough for you? If you want to take revenge, just take it out on me. Why are you so heartless toward
him?” Lina’s voice quivered as she scolded.
Abigail replied while emphasizing each word, “I did not receive any calls!”
“Stop making up excuses! Don’t bother coming to the hospital, either. You’ll bring bad luck!” After
1/3
hanging up the phone, Lina blocked Abigail.
Sitting in the car, Abigail felt speechless. She thought for a moment and decided to call Sean. After the call connected, she
suppressed her pent-up frustration and asked him, “Is your signal okay now?”
“Yeah.” His tone held restrained emotions.
Abigail sensed that something was amiss, and she questioned in a self-mocking tone, “What are you trying to say?”
However, Sean thought she had something to say to him. He remained silent without an immediate response, which made her
instantly understand his perspective on the matter.
“Your grandpa is already in the hospital, with Kelly taking care of him. Your grandma is also extremely emotional right now, so I’m
not going to see your grandpa anymore,” she informed him calmly, holding her grievances back.
In the brief moment after Abigail finished her sentence, disappointment reached its peak for Sean. His voice turned cold as he
uttered, “I couldn’t make it clear due to my bad signal, and it’s no one’s fault. Besides, the Quinns and our family have no
connection. My call to you must have been a bother.”
She hung up the phone abruptly. There was nothing more to say, and she no longer cared how he perceived it.
After finally arriving at the airport, where the signal stabilized, he felt her phone call had ruined. his mood.
“Is it possible that the information we found is incorrect?” Xavien asked, noticing his bad mood.
“Do you even have confidence in the information you found? Why would you be asking me?!” Sean suddenly slammed his phone
onto the table.

Xavien immediately lowered his head.
Lina had informed Sean that Colby had called Abigail multiple times, and she hadn’t answered.
Sean didn’t believe it and had Cameron check the facts. However, they found out that Colby had indeed called Abigail several
times, to which she did not answer. She had even sent a cold message, saying she was going to Capitalis for a business
meeting and wouldn’t answer calls after boarding the plane.
Colby had deleted that message. He probably didn’t want it to cause misunderstandings at such a critical moment and had
erased it to protect her.
But what about her? She hadn’t offered any explanation. She clearly knew the severity of the situation today, yet she didn’t even
want to explain herself!
2/3
“Mr. Graham, even if the evidence we find shows that Mrs. Graham wasn’t involved with Old Mr. Graham, we both know her
character.” Xavien, though fearful, ventured to say.
Sean looked at him and replied, “You’re wrong. I’ve never truly understood her.”
When Lina told him that she hadn’t answered the phone, he didn’t believe it. He wanted to investigate it himself, but the reality
was even worse than what he had heard.
When Abigail’s call came in, he had been thinking. What if it’s just a misunderstanding? Even if she said a single word firmly to
explain that she had been misunderstood, he would immediately. stand by her side.
Despite that, she chose to hang up the phone.
Moreover, her attitude made Sean realize that she wasn’t very concerned about Colby’s condition.
Sean also understood that Colby’s call to her was a nuisance, and she would just let him be if she was occupied with something
more important. Nevertheless, the fact that she wasn’t even willing to take a glance at Colby made Sean’s heart grow cold.
