Hugging her tightly, Jenna replied, “…It’s fine. Everything will be fine… I’m sure he knows that you really care for him, so he’ll definitely pull through in the end…”
She knew that, of course. That this was probably the best course of action, but… That didn’t change the fact that losing his mother was going to be extremely painful, especially when he was able to witness his mother’s bloodied fresh corpse…
…No. There was still something she could do! Running over to Ian’s side, Xavia declared, “Please investigate the case, Brother!”
At the time, Ian had been dealing with a few files in his study, the footage from the crime scene playing on loop on his computer. When he heard what Xavia said, he quickly closed the video tab before getting to his feet and saying, “I will, though you needn’t be involved in this gory case. Just focus on caring for the children-”
“I don’t care! Look, he’s been super nice to me this entire time, and if I don’t do anything to help, I’ll be guilt-ridden, and I won’t be able to sleep well at night! So please, let me help, Brother!”
“…Since she won’t be able to calm down anytime soon, I propose that you let her participate, Sir Ian…” added Jenna, leaving Ian speechless.
Rubbing his forehead, he eventually replied, “…You should know that I want to bring the killer to justice just as much as you two do, but… Apprehending that maniac will do nothing. First of all, that madman will most likely just be sent to a mental institution given the fact that he’s already lost his mind… and though I could legally impose the death penalty, what good would that do when the mastermind behind all this is clearly Liam?”
