Aria argued, "Your ex-wife is even more unreasonable, telling us to leave!"
Helen was going to explain herself but ultimately closed her eyes and repressed her flaring emotions
as she snapped coolly, "You can both leave if you disrespect my grandfather again."
"Be quiet." Frank glared at Aria too, finally silencing her.
He strode up to Helen's side and stood before Henry's casket. He then dropped to his knees and
kowtowed three times.
"I will never forget that you saved my life, Gramps. I've done you a dishonor—I failed to protect your
family and caused your death. I'll always feel remorse for my actions and can only hope that you'll
forgive me."
Gina promptly laughed coldly at that. "Oh, you actually know that? Though I suspect that you'd actually
feel remorse."
"Yeah! You're a murderer! Helen's grandfather died because of you!" Cindy cried crocodile tears even
as she pointed at Frank as everyone watched.
"Mom! Cindy!" Helen's eyes turned red as she lost it right then. "Please just stop already!"
Bang!
Suddenly, Frank slammed his forehead on the floor so hard that he started bleeding.novelbin
Helen's heart almost stopped as she looked on. "Please, Frank! Just stop!"
Bang!
However, Frank slammed his forehead on the floor!
"That's enough, Frank!" Helen cried as she tried to pull him to his feet, but he pushed her saide.
Bang!
After doing it three times, Frank looked up, bleeding down his face as his eyes welled up with tears.
"I've paid my respect three times, Gramps. I hope you'll find a better life in the next, and I'll be here to
pay respects again every year."
With that, he wiped the blood off his face and turned to leave.
"Frank..." Helen bit her lip, her knuckles clenching so hard they could break.
It was not Frank's fault—Henry had said that much in his will.
Henry knew that as long as he lived, Frank would always come to help his family. And each time he
did, Gina and the others would always incite misunderstandings, driving Helen further away from him.
Gina and Cindy were in fact the ones who pushed Henry to his death.
If not for those two's lies and selfishness, Helen would not have misunderstood Frank so many times,
and Frank would not have been disappointed in her.
Helen understood that her family finally drove him over the brink, leaving no recourse when they
kidnapped Winter.
On one hand was the man who saved his life, and the other was his late mentor's daughter.
How was he supposed to choose?
Even Luna Lane's illness wasn't treated by that doctor from Seaham—it was Frank, who would go that
far to help such despicable people because he owed Henry.
Having done so much for them, he had more than repaid his debt to the Lane family.
And yet, not only did Gina and Cindy never cared about Frank's kindness, but they would keep
scorning Frank, even kidnapping Winter.
In fact, Helen had planned to send Gina and Cindy to the care of the Southstream Lanes while she
tried to make amends with Frank.
