Luke impassively spoke as he leaned against a pillar, holding a cigarette between his lips, "Are you saying that you and Luna are family? Well, in that case, this is the first time I've ever seen family members acting this way."
With that, he lowered his head, lit his cigarette, and exhaled a mouthful of smoke before adding, "How do you explain what happened just now? Weren't you trying to kill amongst yourselves?"
Both Heather and Malcolm's expressions darkened upon hearing this.
However, Luke still had not gotten his fix yet. He turned to shoot Jim an impassive glance and continued, "You're their elder brother, aren't you? One of your sisters tried to stab the other one right in her eye, yet you didn't even try to stop her."
As soon as he said this, Heather furrowed her brows and protested, "I didn't! I was just...just..."
Seeing that she had no way of explaining her behavior, Malcolm shot her a cold glance, then smiled and pulled her into his arms. "Heather was just too outraged just now. There could've been better ways of solving this problem, but Luna deliberately gave us an impossible task to make things difficult for us. Heather was just acting on impulse."
With that, he brought Heather to Luna and said,"
Heather, apologize to Luna."
Even though Heather was a stubborn person, she was still skilled at apologizing for menial things like this. She gave Luna a bow and said, "I'm sorry, my dear sister. I acted too rashly just now."
With that, she glanced at Luke and added, "However, you saw what just happened. I've already received the punishment I deserve, so please don't stay mad at me."
Luna glanced at her but did not reply.
