Frank could feel the somberness in Henry's words just from a little probing. "Don’t say so, Gramps. You called me to help Luna, didn't you?"

"I didn't want to get involved, and I know better than you what Jade and her daughter are like. But..."

Henry paused and sighed lengthily. "Just consider this as you doing me one last favor, and I won't ask for anything else...”

"What are you saying?!" Frank scowled, his fingers trembling over his phone as he sighed. "I wouldn't be alive if not for you."

"I'm so sorry, Frank..."

It hurt Frank to hear the shaking, tearful voice on the other end. "Don’t worry, Gramps—I'll save Luna, and don't speak about this being the last time or anything. Your family won't fall apart as long as I'm alive."

However, he sat quietly in the drawing room after he hung up, and Winter found him still sitting there when she returned from campus.

She put down her bag, hurrying behind Frank to massage his shoulders. "What's wrong, Frank? In a bad mood?"

"I'm fine,” Frank said, shaking his head as he rose to his feet. "I'm going out for a moment. You can go help your mom in the meantime.”

"Okay." Winter nodded tamely despite her curiosity.

Frank drove out to the hospital and entered Luna's ward while avoiding detection.

Seeing that Luna was out like a light, he started to go to work, but his sharp hearing picked up a commotion outside.

Sensing a crowd heading toward Luna's ward, he frowned.

He opened the window and leapt out to avoid trouble, hiding just outside.

Creak.

The ward door soon opened, and an elderly black-clad man entered with Gina, Cindy, her boyfriend Hughie Steiner... and of course, the rotund Jade.

"Darling!" Jade began to groan and sob as she saw her daughter lying unconscious on her bed. "Shut up!” the black-clad man snapped.

However, instead of stopping, Jade's face fell as she glared at the black-clad man and snapped, "It doesn't hurt because she isn't your daughter, huh?!"

The black-clad man's breathing turned rushed, clearly angry.

Still, he calmed himself as he put his claw-like fingers around Luna's wrist to feel her pulse. Sᴇaʀch Thᴇ (F)indNƟvᴇl.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"Be gentle!" Jade bellowed. "Don't you dare hurt my daughter!"

The black-clad man's knuckles clenched, and he looked on the verge of the outburst.

However, he gritted his teeth and restrained himself as he remembered what Chaz had told him. Even Frank was sighing outside the window—uwith a mother like Jade, Luna was going to die a lot less older.

He then remembered Gina too and shook his head with an exasperated smile.

Soon, the black-clad man said, "Your daughter's poor kidneys are causing multiple meridian blockages. But if you can procure a herb called the drakeroot, she'd make a full recovery in a month "Shut up!" Jade snapped even before the black-clade man could finish.
