Chapter 39 Grim Reaper Isabella her head. What a quick temper he has. Heâs already this angry upon finding out Henry and Marjorie are looking for Luna: I wonder how heâd react if he found out about their bizarre ideas.
probably hit the roof Trailing after Christopher to enjoy the show, they quickly arrived at Biancaâs ward.
As expected, Bianca wasnât even admitted to the intensive care unit. Yet Henry and Marjorie had the nerve. to mislead Luna over the phone, making it sound as if Bianca was on her deathbed. Are they not worried that their lies will come true?
Meanwhile, Henry and Marjorie were frustrated over not being able to reach Luna, cursing incessantly.
âThat heartless girl! Her sister got injured because of her, yet she wonât even bother to come visit her!â snapped Henry.
Marjorie was anxious. âWhat should we do? Has Luna really made up her to abandon us? If sheâs this heartless, she wouldnât agree to donate her organs to Bianca even if we find her, would she?â
âIt would be heartless of her to refuse since sheâs the one who caused this mess! Iâll head to her school by then to see why they accepted a despicable student like her!â
Wow. Iâve never seen anyone them! I low audacious of them to voice out such thoughts selfârighteously instead of keeping it discreet! Looks like they donât think theyâre doing anything wrong! But theyâre in for a beating now that Christopher heard them.)
As expected, Christopher was beside himself with rage, and he charged forward without a second thought. Before anyone could react, he seized Henry by the collar with his uninjured hand, abruptly slammed, him against the wall.
â
!â Henry shrieked in pain.
Startled, Hayden quickly looked around to make sure no one was watching. It his first time witnessing Christopher lose his temper like that, so he instantly gave up on trying to calm him down and chose to be on the lookout for him instead.
Henry was utterly stunned after the pain subsided and he got a clear look at the person before him. Never in wildest dreams did he expect someone younger than him to him this way.
âChristopher, itâs you! What are you doing?â
âChristopher, let go of him! How could youâ¦â Marjorie panicked she snapped back to her senses, trying to pull Christopher away but to no avail. He refused to budge, as strong as a raging bull.
Left without a choice, Marjorie could only help from others. She noticed Alexander Isabella standing not far away, so she called , âAlexander, Isabella, hurryâ¦â
Isabella blinked and leisurely turned around to sit on the nearby bench. She was a bit tired from running over, so she decided to sit down and enjoy the show.
Taken aback by Isabellaâs indifference, Marjorie turned to look at Alexander, silently asking for help. The heir of the Quirk family surely wonât be this heartless, right?
1/3 Chapter 39 Grim Reaper To her dismay, Alexander glanced at Isabella and settled down beside her before addressing Christopher, âBe careful not to aggravate your injury, or Dad and Mom will worry.â
With that, he noticed Isabella secretly recording a video and was at a loss for words. Though I think Dad and Momâs curiosity over what happened will probably outweigh their concern.
Marjorie opened her mouth to speak, but words cluded her. She could only clutch the back of her head, nearly fainting from the shock.
Henry was livid but was practically lifted into the air by the towering Christopher, who held him up by his collar. His feet dangled in midâair, and he couldnât even struggle. He was so frustrated that his face and neck reddened.
âWe are your elders! Have you lost your mind?â he thundered.
âI think youâre the ones who have lost your mind. Youâre hardly fit to be parents. Thankfully, has severed ties with your family. Otherwise, she would have been killed by !â Christopher yelled.
Henry Marjorie stared at Christopher in disbelief, not expecting him to behave like this for Lunaâs sake. It hadnât been long since they last saw him, yet he changed a lot.
âWat nonsense are ·
talking ? Didnât you get hurt ? Are you saying all of this wasnât because of Luna? Not only did she fail to protect her younger sister as an elder sister should, but she also dragged her into this mess. If it werenât for her, would Biancaâs face and kidneys have been damaged? Even if she refused to make sacrifices, she shouldâve at least made amends for her mistakes! She mustâve figured it out and deliberately avoided us, refusing to her sister! How could she be so heartless?â
Christopher finally understood the torture Luna had experienced for over two decades with parents like them He was so infuriated that his hands were trembling, his eyes wide open as if heâd beat Henry and Marjorie into a pulp any time.
Isabella couldnât help but scoff. âFrom what I hear, you plan on taking her skin and kidney. I donât understand. You can Biancaâs own skin to fix her disfigurement. As for the kidney, she can always wait for a kidney donor. Itâs not like sheâs dying. Do you have to get it from Luna? Do you despise Luna much that you want her to suffer?â
âHey! Watch your mouth! Weâre her parents! Why would we want her to suffer? Bianca is too frail to go through all that organâmatching hassle. Twins are the most compatible, making Luna the best candidate for the transplant. This is inevitable. Family members should always help each other.â
Christopher spat with rage, âHelp each other? Why donât you tell me, Bianca ever done anything to help Luna since she was born â
Words cluded Henry and Marjorie. They racked their brains hard and couldnât come up with a single. example.
Christopher scoffed, âLuna always been the only one supporting Bianca. Even after Biancaâs true, malicious nature was exposed, Christopher found it absurd. Like himself, Henry and Marjorie were deceived by Biancaâs act. Looking back at how Bianca played them all like a fiddle, he was thoroughly disgusted, but astonishingly, Henry and Marjorie didnât regret their actions at all.
2/3 Chapter 9 mm Reaper âAll those years of their lives wouldâve been a waste if they didnât continue loving Bianca,â Alexander interjected with rare snarkiness, hitting the nail on the lead.
Isabella nodded in agreement.
hard to get these geriatrics to admit their mistakes.
A fleeting look of guilt crossed Henryâs features, but he quickly said through gritted teeth, âAt end of the day, this is a family matterâ¦
Here we go again, the same trick. When they canât win with reason, they resort to the emotional card. Isabella scoffed deep down.
Alexander found Isabellaâs inner thoughts amusing and spoke up. âA family matter, huh? So⦠did you guys get a compatibility test done?â
Everyone was stunned to hear that. It was as if a bolt of lightning had struck them all.
âApart from her twin sister, the two of you, as her parents, are the most suitable candidates compared to strangers, Isnât that right?â Alexander said nonchalantly Henry and Marjorie froze as if their brains momentarily stopped functioning.
For a brief moment, Isabella was utterly repulsed by their selfishness âHubby, how could you suspect Mr. and Mrs. Cowell? Even though theyâre extremely biased, both Luna and Bianca are their daughters. Now that something has happened to one of them, Iâm sure their first instinct would be to provide help themselves and not burden their child. Surely, they wouldnât use their other daughter for parts. Thatâs simply impossible,â Isabella said sarcastically.
Alexander jolted upon hearing the term âHubbyâ and instinctively responded, âIs that so?â
âOf course! The compatibility test mustâve failed, which was why they had no choice but to resort to asking for Lunaâs help. If they themselves could help, they surely wouldnât let a young woman, whoâs in her prime and hasnât even experienced love, marriage, or motherhood yet, be left with two large scars on her body. and lose her vibrancy, health, and freedom to dress as she pleases,â she said.
âIndeed, you make a good point.â He nodded in agreement.
âExactly! They are their parents, not grim reapers. Even the cruelest tiger wonât harm its cub!â
