Reborn with Nothing but My Farm and Vengeance in the Apocalypse novel Chapter 98

Chapter 98: Chapter 98

Melody Summers also hurried up and went outside. She saw that several people had already entered the yard—men and women, old and young.

Melody quickly shut the inner door of the villa and shouted at the people who had entered the yard, "This is a private residence! You can’t just barge in. Please leave!"

Colin Summers stood in front of Melody, a combat shovel in his hand, warily watching the group of people.

They were all dressed in rags, their faces dark with grime. Even from a distance, Melody could faintly smell a sour stench coming from them. She silently held her breath.

When the man in the lead saw Melody come out, he spoke tentatively, "My good daughter, don’t you recognize me? It’s me, your father!"

His voice was hoarse and his lips were chapped. His face was streaked with black mud.

Melody was stunned. She took a closer look at the group and realized—wasn’t this Adam Lawson’s family?!

The entire family was covered in dirt and grime, looking nothing like they used to. Melody and Colin hadn’t recognized them at first. It was clear they hadn’t washed properly in a very long time.

Adam Lawson was wearing only a tank top, which was so filthy its original color was impossible to tell. He had rolled it up to his chest.

His wife, Noelle Quillan, who stood beside him, looked as if she had aged twenty years. Her once smooth, black, shoulder-length hair had been cut short. It now looked greasy and damp, clinging tightly to her scalp.

Their daughter, Joelle Lawson, who had always been slender, was now as thin as a bamboo pole. Her clothes hung loosely on her frame, her cheeks were deeply sunken, and her eyes bulged unnervingly.

Their son, Joel Lawson, was the cleanest of the bunch, but he too had lost a lot of weight. His previously chubby belly was gone, as was his double chin. His plump, round face had thinned into an oval shape, which in turn made his eyes seem much larger.

Following behind them was an old man, Adam Lawson’s father. His back was severely hunched, and he wore a thin jacket so dirty its color was unrecognizable.

Colin Summers recognized Adam Lawson and immediately brandished his combat shovel. "So it’s you lot. Who let you in? Get out, now!"

Adam Lawson wanted to run to Melody, but with Colin blocking the way, he couldn’t get near them. He stopped and said to Colin, "Big Brother, it’s me, Adam! Your brother-in-law!"

Seeing Adam Lawson’s fawning smile, Colin Summers’s brow furrowed tightly. He roared, "Who are you calling Big Brother?! Stop trying to claim ties that don’t exist! What ’brother-in-law’? You divorced my sister a long time ago! Now get the hell out of here!"

Adam Lawson didn’t get angry. He just kept smiling shamelessly. "Big Brother, just let me in to see Winnie. I have something I want to say to her."

Colin said impatiently, "I already told you, I’m not your ’Big Brother,’ and my sister won’t see you. Take your wife and kids and get out!"

Seeing Colin’s unyielding attitude, Adam could only turn to Melody. He smiled at her and said, "My good daughter, let your father see your mother. Dad came here today because I want to remarry your mom. Don’t you want your mom and dad to get back together?"

Adam Lawson’s words nearly made Melody gag. She sneered and said, "Adam Lawson, are you drunk? What kind of pipe dream are you having?"

Hearing this, Colin became absolutely furious. He swung the combat shovel and struck Adam with it, yelling, "Bah! After how you treated my sister, you still have the nerve to talk about remarrying her? You even dare to bring your mistress to our door! You... you get the hell out!"

After hitting Adam, Colin turned to Melody and said, "Melody, call the police! Call Officer Tate!"

Melody had actually already called the police. The officers and the community security guards should be on their way now.

When Adam heard them mention the police, he grew anxious and suddenly dropped to his knees. He cried to Colin, "Big Brother, I know I made mistakes in the past, but I’ll definitely change! You’re a man, too. You can understand, right? Just let me see Winnie!"

Colin nearly fainted from rage at those words. ’He can understand? What is there to understand?’ He was so furious that he marched forward and kicked Adam squarely.

Adam took the kick, scrambled back to his feet, and started shouting at the inner door, "Winnie! Wife! Open the door, it’s me! It’s Adam!"

Inside the house, Winnie Summers was so angry she could barely stand it. She grabbed a kitchen knife and was about to rush out the door.

Grace Sutton and Miss Lowell quickly moved to stop her.

Her grandmother quickly advised, "Don’t go out. The police will be here soon. If you go out now, they might latch onto you and not let go."

Winnie said anxiously, "I’m worried they’ll hurt Melody."

Grace Sutton, afraid she would actually charge out, quickly reassured her, "Don’t worry, your big brother has a weapon. Besides, he just ate a full meal, so he has plenty of energy. Look at that bunch from the Lawson family—a group of old, weak, sick, and disabled people. All of them together aren’t a match for one swing of his shovel!"

Hearing her own husband call another woman "Wife," Noelle Quillan didn’t get angry at all. Instead, she and her children sat right down in the villa’s courtyard, greedily breathing in the cool air.

’It’s so hot outside. I haven’t felt this refreshed in a long time.’
