"We also share part of the blame for what happened," Jepherson said. Jacky laughed, "It has nothing to do with you; it's my own fault. You should go; I'll visit him in a few days. I have to wait for Logan to wake up."
"People make mistakes, but no one deserves to die for them. He lost his head for a moment."
At that, Jacky returned to Waverly Village, disappearing from Jepherson's sight in no time.
Jepherson looked back at Zorion, then entered the car and returned to Capital City.
Zorion's car followed behind his.
When Jepherson was back at Capital City, he did not return to his home but instead to the Moore family.
The car came to a stop, but Jepherson did not come out. Later, he went back home. Zorion returned to his home. When he entered the house, Tetsuo informed him someone from the Moore family had come and sent an invitation to a meal the next day.
After accepting the invitation card, Zorion opened it and scanned through the content before handing it back to Tetsuo. "Did they send it at night?" "They sent it at one o'clock."
He stopped in his tracks and turned around to look at Tetsuo. "Did something happen to Flynt?"
Tetsuo seemed confused. "I don't understand what you mean, Mr. Zorion."
"Forget it."
Rossie walked behind Zorion as they entered the villa.
Zorion headed straight upstairs, and Rossie followed suit.
After closing the door, he grabbed his pajamas and went to take a shower. Rossie, too, took her pajamas but went to another room to shower.
Stunned, seeing that Rossie was not in his room after he came out of the bathroom, he went outside to search for her, and Tetsuo told him that she was in another room.
When Zorion entered her room, she had already showered, changed her clothes, dried her hair, and was already sound asleep.
He walked over to Rossie, tucked her in, and left after switching off the lights. When the door shut, Rossie opened her eyes and stared at the door before flipping the light switch back on.
She didn't know why, but ever since she left
Zorion, she never had a good night's sleep. She could only rest with the lights on at night, and she would feel insecure when she turned off the lights occasionally.
To her surprise, during their stay together this time, she could fall asleep even when they did not share the same bed.
She stared at the ceiling with her eyes wide open, finding it ridiculous now that she thought about it. Even though he was a monster, he was better than nothing. Sometimes, the pain kept her sane. At least she still had someone by her side; it would be a tragedy if she was all alone.
The moment Zorion came out of her room, he heard the sound of a flipping switch. He turned around and stared at the light from the door gap but still walked away after a moment's hesitation.
Johan was alarmed in the middle of the night. Ronard rushed into the room, walked over to Johan, and whispered something in his ear. Johan slowly turned to look at him and asked, "Where's Elina?"
"She's throwing a tantrum."
"Hmph, pathetic." Johan hated when women cried and made a fuss.
"What else to do but send him abroad to recuperate now that he had lost his arm. He'll only be an embarrassment if he stays in Capital City. I didn't expect him to be this useless."
"But it seems like our time in Capital City has come to an end; we've lost our foothold here."
"I don't understand, Sir?" Ronard hesitated. Johan asked, "Who sent out the invitations?"
"It's Mr. Colston."
"Colston?" Johan recalled the Moore family had a few young ones; however, he could only remember a few.
