"How dare you, Frank!"
Gina was going to lose it too, but Luna's scream brought her to her senses. "Help! It hurts somuch! I'm going to die!"
Gina screamed at Frank right then, "Don't you know who you just hit, you animal?! That's GavinLane's wife—their family is one of Southstream's Four Families! If you let Luna go and beg, Imight speak on your behalf so that they let you live. If you keep being stubborn, you'll be dead!"
"Hmph."
Seeing that Gina was still being delusional, Frank simply squeezed.
"Mmmph!!!!"
Luna's face turned purple, her arms flailing as if to beg Gina for help.
"Stop, Aunt Gina! He's crazy!" Cindy promptly pulled Gina away and turned toward Hughie,shrieking, "Go! Fetch that bitch from the basement, or the Southstream Lanes will kill us all ifLuna dies!"
Hughie dashed downstairs immediately and soon returned with Winter, who was bound with somuch rope that she looked like a dumpling.
"Frank!" Winter cried, and Frank seemed to calm down.
Tossing Luna aside, he strode up and gathered Winter in his arms.
Cupping her cheeks with his hands even as he fought back his gnawing guilt, he said, "It's all my fault...
but don't worry, this won't happen again!"
"How's my mom, Frank?" she asked, so kind as she still worried over Carol even now.
"She's fine. I've had the best doctors look after her."
As Winter became relieved, Frank caressed her cheek, staring at the bruises on her face and arm.
"Who hit you and your mother?"
"It was." Winter looked up at Hughie right then but soon shook her head and threw herself into Frank's
arms.
"I'm fine, Frank. Let's go home—everything's fine."
"Alright. You go wait in the car. I have something to sort out." Frank said, patting her on the back.
Even so, Winter held on firmly to Frank's hand and assured him, "I'm really fine, Frank. It doesn't hurt—
let's just go back to Skywater Bay."novelbin
Winter obviously did not want him to keep causing trouble.
However, it only left Frank baleful—Winter was just so understanding and always thinking for his sake.
Helen, on the other hand...
"Be good, Winter," Frank said firmly. "I have to deal with these scum—just wait in the car."
"Okay."
Seeing that Frank was determined, Winter stopped pressing him.
Putting her hands on his cheeks, he said solemnly, "Promise me that you'll stay safe."
"Yeah."
Frank walked her to the door and slowly straightened up.
Winter's assurance may have calmed him, but he was not forgiving these people.
Turning toward the burly man standing nearby with an icy glare, he growled, "Hughie, was it?'
Hughie's heart skipped a beat.
Unlike the rest, he was a martial artist and could clearly feel the death aura unfurling fromFrank.
He rubbed his hands as he glanced at the silent Cindy for a moment.
