Rose Taylor held on to Lincoln Green's arm, leaning half her body close. "Lincoln, you can't be so impulsive. Have you forgotten that today is not only Abigail's engagement party, but also Ruby's?"
Lincoln Green remained silent. Although he hadn't favored Abigail these past years, she was, after all, his and Minnie's only child. If something really happened to her, he wouldn't be able to explain it.
Rose seemed to read Lincoln's thoughts and softly analyzed, lowering her voice, "Honey, I know you're worried about Abigail, but if you go to Elder Piers now and Abigail is fine, that's all well and good. But what if something has happened? Should the engagement be canceled? Does Ruby also have to give up her engagement to the second son?"
"But Abigail..."
If Abigail really died at Brandon Manor, there would be no way the engagement between the second son and Ruby could proceed.
