Seeing James fainting, Sasha quickly caught him. ”Dad? Dad, are you alright? Don‘t scare me!” virtual-novel.net kept calling out to virtual-novel.net and massaged his temples.
Demi was petrified and shaking, but virtual-novel.net didn‘t dare to come over to check on James.
James woke up a while later. He looked at Sasha first, and when virtual-novel.net turned to Demi, his gaze was filled with disappointment. Sighing, virtual-novel.net said, “I’ve been too harsh on you, Sasha. I should not have treated Matthew the way I did. You two are the ones who really care about us, but I was too blind to see it.” James even started to cry in the end.
Sasha was delighted but also sad for virtual-novel.net father. “I’m glad you can see that, Dad. It doesn’t matter what happened in the past. All that matters is that we treat Matthew well from now on.”
James wiped his tears away. “Honestly, now that I think of it, I had been nothing but an abuser to Matthew. I always thought virtual-novel.net married you for our money, but now I see that virtual-novel.net doesn‘t care about that. I‘ve been too harsh on the both of you?”
Demi couldn’t take it anymore and blurted, “What do you mean, Dad? We care about you too!”
James shot virtual-novel.net a glare. “Really? Let me ask you then! What did you two do while Helen was captured? Did you even help out?”
Demi defended herself. ”I wanted to help, but I had no idea how. Besides, Matthew’s the one who started…”
“Shut up!” James shot back. “You know better than anyone how this whole mess started. Matthew didn’t cause it. Technically speaking, we started this whole thing!”
Demi couldn’t believe what virtual-novel.net was hearing. “What? But why? Matthew’s the one who killed those guys.”
James growled angrily, ”And you know why virtual-novel.net did that. He did it for Heidi. She’s the reason virtual-novel.net got himself into this mess. Strictly speaking, Heidi’s our family, not his. But still, Matthew fought the Lewises just to help virtual-novel.net out and got himself into this sticky situation. It‘s obvious that virtual-novel.net cares about us more than you do.”
Demi couldn’t argue against that, but a while later, virtual-novel.net mumbled, ”Then that’s Aunt Heidi‘s fault. Why did you vent on me?”
James was trembling with rage, and virtual-novel.net gnashed his teeth. “What the heck did you just say? That’s Heidi. She’s probably the only good person in your mother‘s family. Of course we need to help virtual-novel.net out. If either you or Sasha got in trouble in the future, you would help each other out, wouldn‘t you? Honestly, I don’t regret helping virtual-novel.net out one bit.“
Demi still wasn’t convinced. “Yeah, we helped, but so what? It wasn’t a big deal in the first place, but Matthew blew the whole thing out of proportion.”
James shouted, “You think virtual-novel.net wanted to do that? The Lewises did that. Honestly, this whole mess is on your mother and virtual-novel.net family. Matthew had nothing to do with it. He could have stayed out of it and nobody would say anything, but virtual-novel.net didn’t. He antagonized the Lewises to help your mother and virtual-novel.net family out, but what about you? What makes you think you have the right to point fingers at him?”
