Captivation Want Nothing But You Chapter 188 by Adolf Dunne
When Abby woke up, the white ceiling and the smell of antiseptics greeted her, letting her know that she was in the hospital.
No noise could be heard aside from the faint
voice of someone outside the ward.
Abby felt like her head was splitting into two, and her mouth was dry and itchy. Just as she was about to get up to get some water, the door of her hospital room opened.
“Mr. Warren?” A hint of surprise flashed through her eyes when she saw Sherwood in a police uniform coming in.
“How long have you been awake? Are you hurt somewhere?”
“I just woke up…” Abby’s voice sounded weak. Looking at her pale face, Sherwood said, “Don’t force yourself to get up yet. I would like to ask you a few questions and you need to answer them truthfully. Are we clear?”
“Yes.”
“Do you still remember what happened before you fell?” Sherwood asked while looking at her seriously.
The question made Abby unconsciously clench the corner of the quilt covering her lower body.
What happened to her was very odd, so Sherwood must have doubts about her accident on the hillside. Although the area was littered with debris, it was not steep. The ground was also dry because it was a hot day. How could she slip and fall?
Besides, the wound on her forehead also
aroused suspicion.
Sherwood had been a prison guard for so many years. He could tell whether a person’s wound had been inflicted by accident or on intent by someone else.
“I…” Sasha’s words flashed through Abby’s mind, causing her to hesitate for a while. Honestly, she could understand why Sasha was so jealous.
Now, if she told the police the truth, Abby knew that Sasha would be punished.
“Abby, you have to keep this in your mind at all times. Sometimes, tolerance and concession would only make people take advantage of you and make things difficult for you. Tolerance makes space. But if you keep giving in, you will be beyond redemption.”
Suddenly, Rachel’s words resurfaced in Abby’s mind.
“Do you have any misgivings about what happened? You can tell me the truth. Don’t worry. I will uphold justice for you.”
Taking a deep breath, Abby decided to tell the truth. “I remember quarreling with Sasha at that time. Then, she pushed me and threw a stone on my head.” Abby clenched her fists and looked straight into Sherwood’s eyes. Her voice was firm and powerful.
“Are you telling the truth?” Sherwood’s face
darkened when he heard what Abby had said.
“That’s true.” Rachel was right. She couldn’t keep tolerating and compromising other people’s behavior. If she wanted to get out of here soon, she should learn how to be strong enough to protect
