Zachary smiled. "How'd you know?""You were acting very strange," Erin replied. "There's either something bothering you, or you're just crazy."Zachary was speechless. "You're just a girl. Don't you have any respect for your brother?"Erin could roll her eyes right then. What even made him her brother? Zachary remained serious as he broke it down for her. "Isaac, James, and I are as close as brothers, right?"Erin nodded. "Yeah."She knew that all too well."And of us three, Isaac is the eldest and a brother to you, but I'm older than James. Whether it's because of your connection to Isaac or to James, I'm a brother to you and should be addressed as such."Erin was speechless. The man made sense, but having to call him 'brother' was too cringeworthy!"Can I call you something else?" Erin asked."What then?" Zachary asked in return. Erin thought about it. Brother was definitely not going to cut it, just as 'uncle' was wrong. "I think I'll just stick to 'Zachary'," Eri

Zachary turned to find James standing nearby, and he smiled awkwardly. "You're still hurt. Why did you come out here? You should be staying in your room.""If I did, I won't be able to listen to you embarrassing yourself," James said, scowling. "Over here, Erin."Erin quickly walked to his side, blinking. "Are you upset?""Not at you," James replied. Zachary reclined against the couch and asked, "Then, at me?""Who else is there?" James snapped while Erin helped him sit. Zachary pouted. "You're a cripple, man. Why don't you stay in your room instead of coming out here?""Watch your language!" Erin snapped, unhappy with the personal attack.James clapped her on the shoulder. "Calm down. Don't you know why he doesn't have a girlfriend? It's because of that rotten mouth of his." Zachary was speechless. "Your personal attacks are worse than mine."James chuckled. "Pot, meet kettle."Zachary clicked his tongue. "Whatever you say."He got to his feet, ready to leave since he o

Irene blinked. "Well, it would be weird if I called you something else," she admitted.Getting the advantage right then, Zachary puffed himself up. "See? I'm her senior.""How so?" Irene asked."I'm younger than Isaac, but you married him," he explained, pausing for a moment before continuing, "Since I'm your upperclassman, he should defer to me too, right?"James and Erin were speechless, with the former rising to his feet. "Come on. Let's go back to my room."The way Zachary kept talking, he would have to defer to Zachary too!"Stay here. You should listen to see if I'm right," Zachary grinned smugly. "Honestly, my junior is really the best!'James really wanted to punch him right then—that face definitely needed one."You're right," Irene suddenly said. "But you'd have to ask Isaac first to see if that applies."James stared at Zachary in turn. "You heard her."Zachary was speechless—Isaac would throw him out of his own house if he so much as breathed that.Yes, that wa

James placed a hand on Erin's shoulder to direct her to his room, and she nodded.After she left, James turned toward Zachary. "Sit.""What is it?" Zachary asked, eying him skeptically."I can tell you're in a bad mood. Anything you want to say to me?" Zachary smiled but said nothing despite taking his seat. "Come on. Don't jinx me like that."James did not press him, probably sensing that Zachary had trouble talking about it.Zachary then added, "Let's go get a drink when you're feeling better."James nodded.-In his room, Tommy was writing his own name on a notebook.Irene told him to learn it by the day and to make it look nice.While he did, she stood by the bed to call Stan, but no one answered. She put down the phone and returned to the table to check on Tommy's handwriting.Around an hour later, her phone started ringing. It was a return call from Stan, and when she picked it up, she asked, "Why weren't you answering?"On the other end, Stan shot a look at Isa

Stan pretended to be absolutely afraid. "Okay, I won't move. Please don't hurt me."Hector pulled off his face mask then."Piece of sh*t," he snapped at Stan in disdain, before walking up to Isaac's bed, watching him as he said, "Your lackeys are just so incompetent."Isaac did not answer as he calmly opened his eyes.His vision was still dark, but he could imagine how savage and smug Hector's face would look right then. "How lucky can you get, surviving a plane crash?" Hector said as he pulled a chair over to sit beside Isaac's bed. "I wonder how you're going to escape now, what with your blindness and an incompetent subordinate."Isaac remained nonchalant. "Do you think you can stop me if I want to leave?""Still talking tough in this situation?" Hector laughed and licked his parched lips. "I've lost my life's work because of you! I'll take you down with me even if it kills me, get it?!"Isaac simply ignored him as if he had completely expected this.After all, Hector had b

Hector's eyes widened. "What are you talking about?"Isaac spoke calmly, as if he was just talking about the weather. "How did the pilots in that plane crash die?"Hector was dumbfounded. Even if he had only murdered the flight captain, he knew that Isaac had what it takes to have him charged for the co-pilot's death too.However, he was not exactly innocent—he was planning to kill both pilots after they killed Isaac anyway, but his plan failed. He killed the captain so that anyone searching for Isaac would presume his death and give up on searching while he searched secretly. He thought he would reach Isaac first and kill Isaac without anyone knowing, while staging his death as if he died from the crash. It was only regrettable that the plan failed!"It's a life for a life," Isaac said flatly, leaving Hector clenching his knuckles and glaring at him so hard he could bore a hole in him!"I'll haunt you forever, Isaac Jefferson!" Hector cursed Isaac. "You'll die horribly!"

Zachary then asked, "Isn't Lulu your friend? Aren't you going to ask after her?"Irene shot him a look. "She's having it better than me, with Martin taking care of her."In fact, Irene felt like things were a mess for her right now.There was no telling how Isaac's treatment was going, and he was not letting her visit. Eyes were so important to humans, after all, which left her with a nagging worry even though the doctors claimed that the condition was treatable. Zachary could not deny what she was saying either.Irene turned toward him and asked, "Finally giving up?"Zachary reclined against his seat, looking nonchalant as he softly muttered, "Yeah.""That just means you have nothing tying you down when you find someone you like," she told him.Zachary chuckled, however, suddenly finding love pointless. Once things changed, it would simply not feel the same way again. Irene watched his despondent reaction in return. "As long as you understand."Zachary said nonchalantl

Irene said, "Learning starts from childhood. Teaching him when he's as old as you are is pointless." Zachary was speechless for a moment. "Who do you think you're talking to, Irene? It's a little disrespectful."Irene shot him a look. "Not even Isaac would interfere with me educating my child."Zachary was speechless again, and he remembered how his own mother had forced him to study when he was a child.If his father had tried to say something, his mother would scold him too!'Mothers all have high hopes for their children, do they not? And could I get upset about it?'He remembered how kind and mild-mannered Irene used to be, too—how did things turn out like this?"You're not adorable at all now, Irene," he said."I don't need you to feel that way," Irene shot back."But Isaac won't like it either," Zachary retorted.Tommy smartly echoed, "That's right! I love Mommy when she's kind, and Daddy wants a domestic goddess."Irene stared at her own son, speechless. "Where did y
