Chapter 3506: Chapter 3508

“See me?” Mason frowned.

“Yes…he’s been insisting on seeing you. Mason, Lionel is Veronica’s brother and you’ve known him for so many years. He was just used by someone and made a mistake. Can’t you just go see him?”

Rosalind pleaded.

At this point, Rosalind was trying to use their old relationship to appeal to Mason’s empathy. If Mason agreed to see Lionel, it would mean that the Reed family was willing to help him and not let him go to jail easily!

But Mason didn’t agree, making Rosalind even more anxious. Archer, who was standing nearby, quickly turned to his daughter and said, “Veronica, can you help persuade Mason? Just go see your brother. Lionel’s mental state is not good right now, and we don’t know what happened to him in detention. He knows he did wrong. When he came back yesterday, he didn’t eat anything and just locked himself in his room. Your auntie Rosalind and I have been trying to get closer to him, but it’s been difficult!”

Veronica bit her lip slightly upon hearing this, but ultimately turned to Mason and said, “Why don’t you just go see Lionel and find out what’s going on with him?”

Veronica bit her lip slightly and finally said to Mason, “Why don’t you go and see what’s going on with Lionel?”

Mason looked at Veronica and said, “Even if he really has something going on, it’s his own fault. He almost killed Veronica. Being able to get bail is already lucky for him!”

“But…” Veronica looked hesitant. She also had resentment towards her brother in her heart. But she also knew that he was being used.

So Veronica turned to her father and stepmother and said, “I’ll go back and see Lionel first.”

Although Archer and Rosalind were unwilling, it was better to have someone go and check on Lionel than no one at all.

“That’s fine, let’s go,” said Archer.

However, as Veronica took only two steps, Mason suddenly grabbed her wrist. “Since you’re going, Veronica, I’m going too.”

Veronica was taken aback. “But aren’t you…”

“I’m worried,” he said, as if that one sentence explained everything.

Mason’s willingness to accompany Veronica to the Barlow family was exactly what Archer and Rosalind had hoped for.

So the group arrived at the Barlow family and Rosalind opened the door to Lionel’s room. She said to Lionel, who was huddled in the corner of the room, “Lionel, come and see who’s here to visit you. Your sister and Mason have come to see you!”

The figure huddled in the corner slowly lifted its head and looked towards the group that had just entered.

Veronica was also stunned at the sight of Lionel. He looked completely different from before. His hair was messy, his eyes were lifeless, and there were deep dark circles under his eyes. He looked like he was wearing a “weak makeup” that was often seen online. His cheeks were even sunken, and he looked like he had lost weight.

It had only been a little over a week since he was detained, but he had changed so much.

After Lionel lifted his head, his gaze was fixed on Mason. Suddenly, he seemed to go crazy and rushed towards Mason, rolling and crawling on the ground. “Mason, I have something to tell you! I’ve been waiting for you. I have so much to say to you!”

After speaking, Lionel turned to the people next to him and said, “All of you, get out! I only want to talk to Mason!”

Lionel was very emotional and not in a good state at the moment.

Archer and Rosalind quickly tried to comply with their son’s request and left Mason alone with Lionel in the room.

However, Veronica was a bit worried, as Lionel’s emotions were not stable at the moment.

Seeing her concern, Mason felt a sense of satisfaction. Veronica was worried about him.

As long as she cares about him, he will be extremely happy and willing to do anything for her.

“Veronica, you go out first. I’ll stay in the room,” Mason said. “Don’t worry, I’ll be fine.”

Upon hearing this, Veronica said, “Well…then you have to be careful.”

Rosalind seemed a bit dissatisfied and said, “Do you still think Lionel can hurt…”

“Okay, just go out first,” Archer glared at his wife and quickly pulled her out of the room. Veronica followed shortly after.
