Chapter 215:

Lanny strode towards his bedroom as soon as he finished speaking. Reluctantly, Glenda found herself compelled to follow him.

“Mom, don’t go after him. Dad will hurt you,” Mabel warned, her hand tenderly covering her reddened cheek, her eyes brimming with resentment.

Suppressing her own emotions, Glenda forced a smile. “It’s alright, dear. Your father must be facing difficulties at work. He doesn’t usually resort to violence.”

Feeling a pang of sympathy for Mabel, Glenda gently stroked her cheek before instructing the butler to fetch an ice pack. With that, she trailed after Lanny into the bedroom, closing the door behind her.

Standing by the window, Lanny took a deep breath before speaking. “I’ve been researching nursing homes for the past few days, except for Sunshine Nursing Home.”

Recalling Lanny’s frequent departures and late returns over the past few days, Glenda finally pieced together his motive: he had been searching for that old woman. “Could she be in Sunshine Nursing Home?” asked Glenda.
