"Mr. Landry's health has been declining all these years, and he has been relying on the medications that Mrs. Landry formulates for him to sustain his life.
"Now that Mrs. Landry has been in a vegetative state for more than eight months, Mr. Landry has almost finished his supply of medications, and he's only relying on sheer determination to maintain his sanity now, yet you choose to irritate and get on his nerves again and again!
"He's your father! How can you treat him like that?"
Luna could hear a buzzing in her head as she leaned against the wall. She glanced in the direction of the ward. "My father..."
She had always known that Rosalyn's health was not too good, but this was the first time she had ever heard the same about Charles.
Luna turned to glance at the butler and asked in a low voice, "Hasn't Father always been healthy?"
The butler replied with a pained expression, "That's because he's good at pretending! After the late Mrs. Lucy Landry passed away, Mr. Landry had spiraled into mental insanity. In order to save him, Mrs. Landry used herself as a subject to formulate various drugs that'd cure him.
"However, these kinds of drugs were only effective on Mr. Landry, and to the rest of the population, they were poisonous. Therefore, the only person who knows the formulations and how to produce these drugs is Mrs. Landry!
"Now that she's in a vegetative state, we've already used up all the drugs she had previously made, and so Mr. Landry's illness could be triggered at any moment. How dare you provoke him like this? Do you even have a conscience?"
Luna's entire body stiffened. She bit her lip. "I didn't..."
She did not know that Charles had been relying on medication to sustain his life, and she had no idea his health was declining like that!
On top of that, she did not come here to provoke him a tall!
"You didn't?" The butler was outraged to hear this. "If you didn't come here to provoke Mr. Landry, then why did you and Joshua come here together so late at night?"
Luna lowered her head and let out a bitter chuckle." What if I told you that both my and Joshua's appearance here was just a coincidence? Will you believe me?"
"It's not a coincidence." Just as Luna and the butler were arguing, Luke, who had been standing silently in the distance, curled his lips into a smirk.
