Harvey gently closed the hospital room door. When he turned around, he saw Tanya speaking to Rebecca with a look of concern. âItâs already past eleven, Becky, Itâs way past your bedtime for beauty sleep, Get some restâ
Rebecca shook her head and said firmly, âMom, I donât need to. Iâll stay here and wait for Maddle to wake up.
âHas Maddie woken up yet, Harvey?â
Harvey looked at his family members standing before him. Being a guest, Queenie had an indifferent expression. William seemed anxious, but Harvey could tell William wasnât really bothered.
had all her attention on Rebecca Meanwhile, the once sweet and kind Rebecca seemed like different person altogether.
âWhose idea was it to lock Maddie up, Mom?â
Harvey glanced Rebecca, and the latter hid behind Tanya out of fear.
Tanya patted the back of Rebeccaâs hand. It was my idea. Whatâs wrong with that? I did it for your sake.
Did Tanya talk about a limit?
When Harvey, Ethan and Jason used to dote Rebecca, they did even crazier things, and their parents never once mentioned setting limits. Now, they got f Madison simply because Harvey didnât go on the blind date.
The Lockes must have spoiled Rebecca so much that they had lost their minds.

locked Madison in her room all day without food water. Are you trying starve her to death?ââ At 32 years old, Harvey was usually calm and composed, and it was rare for him to get this upset Tanya was frightened by Harveyâs reaction. âIt was just one day a meal. I got so caught up in your matters that I forgotâ
Hiding behind Tanya, Rebecca chimed in, âMom did it for your own good, Harvey. She didnât know Maddie had a stomach problem. No one would die from just being hungry for a day.
âDonât be mad, Harvey. If you need to blame someone, it on me.â
The next moment, Rebecca stood in front of Tanya. She had reddened eyes as she sobbed.
âBeckyâ Tanya pulled Rebecca behind her. âIf you dare scold her, you and I are going to have a problem, Harveyâ
âMadison is my sister well,â Harvey replied, clenching his teeth. âArenât you aware Madison also your daughter, Mom? You can spoil Becky, but you be this unfair âWe brought Madison back to make it up for her, didnât we? Have you thought about why she has a stomach issue? Is there anyone else in the Locke family facing the same issue? âMadison is only 22 years old and already has such a severe stomach problem. What does that tell you, Mom? Donât you get it yet?
Harveyâs words rendered silent, ber eyes betraying a hint of pain.
âOut it out,â William sternly remarked. âMaking a racket in front of a hospital room is out of .
. Your mom was at fault, but she did it with your best interests at heart.â Harvey pressed his lips into a thin line.
âYou should reflect on yourself. If you took the blind date seriously, your mom wouldnât have locked Madison up. Youâre not young anymore. Itâs about time you get married. Harvey took a deep breath. âI understand. I take care of it.â
William looked at Tanya and Rebecca. âLetâs go. Harvey can handle things from here. We should head backâ
Outside the room, only Harvey was left sitting on a chair.
Jordan returned with his hands full and saw Harvey by himself at the door. âWhereâs Mr. and Mrs. Locke?â
Harvey replied, âThey have returned home.â
Jordan gaped at Harvey. âThey went home before Ms.
even woke up.â
Jordan couldnât believe it, and he was mad.
Harvey sanded battery and changed the subject. âWhatâs all the stuff youâve bought?
âHollowed the doctorâs advice and bought food for Ms. Madison. Itâs all the things that she can eat. Has she woken up?
âShe hasnât woken up yet. We might need to wait awhile.â
Jardan imtaediately held the items court. âOh, shoot I might have bought these too early. This stuff might have gone cold Ms. Madison wakes up.â
