Lydia quickly jumped to Malcolm's defense. "Mom, please calm down. Dad and Meryl were just fooling around. It wasn't serious. Meryl isn't hurt. Why should we make such a scene as a family?"

Bianca scoffed, "Sure, Meryl's not hurt now. But if she had been harmed even slightly, Malcolm wouldn't be standing here so casually."

"Meryl," Lydia pleaded, "Dad's already humbled himself so much. Can't you just let it go?"

Malcolm was touched by how Lydia seemed to feel about his

situation.

Indeed, his sweet daughter's affection hadn't been misplaced.

Meryl couldn't stand watching their performance anymore.

Without another word, she turned towards the stairs. "I'm tired. I'm going up to rest."

No one dared stop her.
