Sherman nodded, "Be safe on the road."
At the Wright family's villa...
Kingsley's mother was still thinking about the girl she saw in the shopping mall. Then she said to Kingsley's father, "Was the girl we saw at the mall Ms. Holmes from Santabaca?"
With his wife's reminder, Kingsley's father also recalled it. That girl's figure did look like Sherman. He frowned, "She came to Hong Kong to chase Kingsley?" 1
"I'm the same as you. I know nothing about it. When Kingsley comes back tonight, we can have his
grandpa talk to him. He used to listen to his grandpa."
Kingsley's father nodded. Then he called the doctor to ask about Merlin's condition.
Merlin's parents were gone. They needed to care more about her. Besides, the Wrights owed the Bennington family so much and they could never pay them back.
Luke was drinking a cup of coffee. Merlin was upstairs, not in the living room. Kingsley stepped in, and he glanced across the living room, "Where's Merlin?"
"Mr. Wright, you still care about Merlin, don't you? I thought you'd forgotten about her. It has been several days, and Merlin still refused to take chemotherapy till today. I wondered if you had been concerned about Merlin at all. Have you done your best to persuade her to receive the treatment?"
"Stop talking nonsense. For certain things, you should simply not speculate about..." Kingsley's voice was low and slightly harsh, "I don't like the way you talk. You should know that well..."
"So, Mr. Wright, please tell me how I should talk to you? I think as long as you're not held responsible, you'll like it!" Luke sneered, a cold smile on the corners of his lips.
Kingsley responded, "Then I'm telling you. It should be the doctor to tell whether it was the best treatment, not me!"
"Merlin has been married to you for several years.
