“You’ve been completely out of line lately,” Nancy snapped at Simon. “I’m going to talk to your parents- and your grandparents too. They need to keep a tighter leash on you!”

“I…”

Simon knew exactly what that meant. His grandparents had always favored girls over boys and doted on his aunt. His father was famous for spoiling his sister, and his mom had once been his aunt’s best friend. She treated her like her own little sister.

If his aunt went home and complained, his parents and grandparents would probably break his legs.

He still hoped Lily might back down and stop going after Wendy. But it was obvious now–she had no intention of forgiving anything, and the whole Luke family was firmly on her side. He couldn’t change Lily’s mind, and he definitely couldn’t change theirs.

And Elsa’s condition was looking worse by the minute. He didn’t dare delay any longer. He urged John to take her to her attending physician right away.

John also realized there was no persuading Lily tonight.

Worried about Elsa’s condition, he gave Lily one last irritated glance and rushed out of the room with Elsa in his arms.

Once the room was empty except for the Luke family, Henry clenched the cane he’d been using for show and lunged at James.

“You little punk! You pushed your own wife to go on blind dates with another man–are you even human? I’ll kill you!”

“Grandpa, don’t hit James!”

Lily quickly stepped between them. She knew this wasn’t James‘ fault and couldn’t just stand there and watch him get beaten up.

James had been forced into a marriage he never wanted, with a woman he hated. That was punishment enough. Getting hit on top of that would be more tragic than some character from a Greek tragedy.

When Simon had grabbed her by the neck earlier, she’d knocked her injured leg on something and the pain was still sharp. But she gritted her teeth and got out of bed, planting herself firmly in front of James.
