“Besides, I can visit Father and Mother, too.”
Joshua could not help sighing when he heard this. “The last time we saw your parents, we thought they‘d
recover much quicker.”
Luna, too, could not help letting out a sigh of disappointment upon hearing this,
She, too, thought that Charles and Rosalyn would be able to recover soon, and even Dr. Liddell had told
her the same thing
However…
The night before, Luna heard from Dr. Liddell that something had happened to hinder Charles and
Rosalyn’s progress
There was a nurse who liked playing the news station on the radio whenever she looked after them.
For some reason, that day, the local radio station started playing news about Merchant City, and Charles
and Rosalyn both found out about Jim’s sudden change in temperament and the subsequent conflict that
happened between him and Luna.
Rosalyn’s condition began to deteriorate, and Charles‘ lucid intervals grew less and less frequent…
All of their previous signs of getting better had disappeared within the course of a few hours, and at this
point, it seemed that their condition was headed south.
As soon as she thought of this, Luna sighed once more.
Before long, Theo knocked on their door. “Luna, Joshua, you have a guest.”
Luna and Joshua exchanged a glance before hurrying down the stairs.
When they reached the living room, they discovered that the guest was none other than Malcolm, who
had gone missing for a while.
Ever since Heather died, Malcolm had disappeared into thin air, and the last thing Luna heard about him
was through Gwen when she told her that Malcolm had gone to find Luke to retrieve something.
At this moment, the man sitting on the sofa had lost all signs of his previous glory.
He was covered in dirt and dust, and his clothes were torn in bits. He looked utterly disheveled, and the
past prospering glow on his face was nowhere to be seen.
Malcolm was perched on the sofa, shuddering. Next to him, Sean poured him a hot cup of tea and said
earnestly, “Why don‘t you come and wait with me outside?”
He glanced at his dirty clothes, then at Malcolm‘s even filthier, smellier ones, and added, “This sofa must
be expensive, and I don‘t think people like us should sit in it, lest we ruin it…”
Malcolm bit his lip nervously when he heard this.
Even though he was broke and homeless, the proud, arrogant dignity of a Quinn still lived in his heart.
He lifted his head to glare at Sean and snapped, “You and I are not the same! I used to be the master of
the Quinn family, so how can you say we‘re the same kind of people? Get the fuck out!”
Having his kindness being misinterpreted, Sean shot Malcolm a cold glance and said, sneering, “You?
The master of the Quinn family? You belong in a trash can.”
Malcolm widened his eyes in shock. “What did you just say to me? Get out! Get the fuck out of here!”
“This is my house, and yet you’re trying to kick my guest out as if you own this place. It seems that
despite the situation you’re in now, you haven’t changed even a bit, Master Quinn.” Joshua sneered as
he descended the stairs and gave Malcolm a once-over, “What are you here for, Malcolm?”
Malcolm finally came to as soon as he heard Joshua’s voice.
He bit his lip and quickly turned around.
Tears started streaming down his face as soon as he caught sight of Joshua and Luna.
He immediately got down on both knees and wailed, “Joshua, Luna! Please help me! Please, I’m
begging you! Please save your daughter!”
