The Spare Wife

Chapter 649 A Mundane Life 

At that moment, Abigail pondered about Analise.

Once upon a time, Analise also relied on labor to support herself and send her to the best art school… How could one not say that the ordinary’s attitudes toward life were not admirable?

The two returned to Alice’s house, and Sean caught a whiff of the familiar scent of herbal medicine, feeling a bit queasy.

She noticed his expression and knew he did not want to drink the medicine. “Starting tonight, you have to properly take these. It’s not enough to just cat-some nourishing food. Your body needs a lot of nutrients and medicine to nourish and heal. Even though the winter-here is barely cold, it’s still a challenge for you,” she explained to Sean while busy at the stove.

She hunched and busied herself, and Abigail immediately thought of Analise’s figure. Suddenly, she felt a longing for her grandmother. She wanted to call Analise but was afraid Sean’s situation would be discovered, affecting Analise’s health.

“Alice, let me help you.” She approached her and rolled up her sleeves.

“Do you know how to gut a fish?” Alice asked her.

Abigail felt a bit embarrassed as she was not skilled at it.

“I do,” Sean immediately spoke up.

Alice raised her chin and directed his gaze to the fish hanging on the side with a straw rope. “Go to the river and gut it. Do you know which organs to keep?”

He scratched his head while Abigail took out her phone and started searching.

“The fish bladder and intestines can be kept. Discard the rest. Make sure to clean the fish intestines.” Alice did not put on airs and directly told them.

As such, he took the knife and prepared to gut the fish.

“You go with him. Keep an eye on him so that he doesn’t have any accidents and fall into the river,” Alice told Abigail.

“Okay, got it!” She quickly followed her man.

The two of them left the house together. After dinner, they walked on the cobblestones. At first, it was exciting, but after about ten minutes, they found it boring. After half an hour, both of them were rather discouraged.

They walked back and forth like this, and anyone would feel annoyed after walking for more than ten minutes. Unfortunately, Sir Colleen was watching them…

After 30 minutes of walking, both of them were exhausted. Abigail soon realized that though everything sounded simple, doing it was extremely agonizing. She could sit and draw design sketches for ten hours straight without feeling the agony she experienced when trying to walk, which she found extremely uncomfortable.

Her feet were also in pain, and by the end, they would go numb…

After taking a ten-minute break, she started learning yoga.

“The most important aspect of yoga is the harmony of breath and mindset. Breathe slowly, execute the moves slowly, and every step must be steady, without impatience. And you must learn to focus, to concentrate on what you are doing at the present moment without distractions,” he explained as he taught them the moves.

Initially, the two of them struggled to concentrate, but with his repeated guidance, they gradually learned to forget themselves and focus solely on yoga. It was almost 8:30 p.m. when Sir Colleen finally allowed them to return to Alice’s house. This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .

This routine continued day after day.

Abigail, who had initially wanted to escape multiple times, gradually grew accustomed to the early bedtime and rising and working in the fields.

One month passed…

Abigail video-called Luna, lying to her that she and Sean were out hiking. When Luna noticed the man, she found it a bit strange. “Why is he so tanned?”

Quickly, Abigail glanced at him beside her. “Really? I didn’t notice. Maybe it’s because we’re always together.”

“Oh my… You’re different, too. What have you been up to? Practicing some kind of ancient art? You look completely transformed now, full of energy and relaxation, as if you’re in control.” Luna could not recognize the couple anymore.

“Is that so?” Abigail widened her eyes in surprise.

“Why lie to you? Sean looks much more energetic than before. It seems going outdoors for a walk is beneficial.” Luna sighed.

“He looks much stronger.” Josh chimed in.

It was at this moment that Abigail realized, silently and imperceptibly, that their physical conditions had changed.

“You look great, full of vitality.” Lawrence’s voice joined in. He squeezed into the frame and told her, “Tell him to come over and say hi.”

Meanwhile, Sean was reading a book on Alice’s recliner. Abigail walked over to him, holding her phone, and tugged at his hand. “Say hi!”

He turned his head toward the camera and raised his hand in greeting. “Have you had dinner?”

“Yes. You look so different, in a good way! Now, we can rest assured,” Lawrence smiled.

Sean raised an eyebrow. “Really? I look that different?”

“Well, it’s truly necessary to go out and explore.” Lawrence hinted, as Luna still had no idea Sean was sick.

“Indeed.” Sean nodded.

Without the hustle and bustle of the big city, coupled with practicing yoga, Sean’s heart had become more stable, and his understanding of life had deepened.

“Well, enjoy yourselves out there, and remember to video call us from time to time,” Lawrence informed with a cheerful smile.
