However, Malcolm, at that moment, was blaming her for Rosalyn's rotting back. Did he not say that he trusted her the most? Was his trust so cheap?
Malcolm paused a little at Luna's words. He just wanted to confuse Jim, letting Jim think that he completely did not know about Rosalyn's back. He never thought that he would have overdone it when h e said those words. After all, he never treated Luna that coldly before.
"The wound on Mom's back has nothing to do with Luna." Seeing how it was rather awkward between Luna and Malcolm, Jim furrowed his brows and broke the silence.
"The doctor came to check on her just now. He confirmed that someone else had hurt Mom. Someone used a special medication on her back that could speed up the decaying process of a person in a vegetative state. This is why Mom's back had festered so terribly within less than a day."
Then, Jim looked up and glared at Heather with reddened eyes.
"Luna and Luna's staff would never do this to Mom. We've checked through it. Today, the only person that came to visit Mom was Heather."
Jim continued in an ice-cold tone void of any
emotions, "Heather, how do you explain yourself?"
Heather blushed instantly upon Jim's words. She glared at Jim angrily. "What nonsense are you spewing? Riley is almost a month old! I brought Riley over to let Mom have a look! How could you accuse me like that?"
Luna squinted. "Besides you, no one came to see Mom today."
