Chapter 726

Jareth’s mind was in turmoil, unable to grasp what was being said.

“Thad, I don’t get what you’re talking about.”

“Mr. Fairhaven! This is bad!”

Dean handed over his phone with a trembling hand, panic written all over his face, “Someone leaked a video of the missus having an episode online, it’s going viral as we speak, with over two hundred thousand shares!”

In an instant, Lily went pale as a ghost, her cane clattering to the floor as she struggled to stand.

Jareth stared at the screen, his eyes wide with shock, a storm of crimson rage swirling within them. His entire body was tense, shaking with fury.

Thaddeus‘ voice cut through the air, thick with anger, but Jareth’s mind was a blank slate, the words floating to him as if from a distant void

“Why did Marilla have an episode? Who took the video, who posted it online?! Didn’t you say you’d take care of my sister? Didn’t you have someone on her tail every step of the way?!

Jareth, what the hell is going on? Have you been so blinded by power that you’ve forgotten the woman you claim to care about most?!”

Jareth felt as if his throat was in a knot, the taste of blood soaking his tongue.

“Speak up! Are you playing dumb now?!” Thaddeus‘ voice was hoarse with rage.

Despite his anger and frustration, faced with such a catastrophe, he couldn’t bring himself to utter the cruel words that would tear them apart.

Thaddeus knew what love was; he believed Jareth loved Marilla just as he loved Evadne. He understood the pain of separation too well. It was like flaying a man alive, day after day, the blood never drying, the wounds never healing.
