"Zenobia..."
When Viola saw that Osborn wasn't willing to help her, she walked straight to her daughter.
Zenobia was like a soulless doll. She sat on the ground, her broken leg bleeding, the blood seeping through the bandages.
"Mom, let's go home. Alan is waiting for us to cook for him!"
When Viola came over, Zenobia suddenly looked at her and smiled, "We have a deal. If the moon is beautiful tonight, I will take him to see those beautiful corals by boat. He likes my singing. I will sing for him all night long!"
"Zenobia?"
Viola looked at her daughter in panic.
She shakily lifted her hand, cupping Zenobia's face, "What's wrong with you?"
"Nothing!" Zenobia said excitedly, "Let's go, let's go right now! Back to the island, back to dad's inn!"
Tears streamed down Viola's face, "Zenobia, don't be like this... There are plenty of fish in the sea. If Wayne is gone, you can find someone better. I was wrong, I shouldn't have let him stay. I hurt you... It's okay, you're still young, you still have plenty of chances. You can definitely find someone better!"
"Mom, what are you talking about? Who's Wayne? I don't want anyone else. I just want Alan, my Alan!" Zenobia got very emotional.
"Alan is gone!" Osborn suddenly shouted. He rushed over, grabbing Zenobia's collar, lifting her up, "Dad's gone, the inn is gone too. Zenobia, snap out of it!"
Zenobia stared blankly at Osborn, then turned her face away in fear, "Mom, Osborn is going crazy. Take me home quickly, I want to see Alan!"
Osborn looked at his sister, then slowly realized something.
"You've gone mad..." Osborn muttered.
How did things end up like this?
He just wanted to bring Wayne back to owe him a favor and save their dad's inn!
Why, in just a few months, the inn was gone. His Mom became a monster who imprisoned his beloved father. His sister lost a leg, became so miserable, and even went mad...
