This was the first time in twenty years.
“Trevor.”
Lex leaned on his cane as he approached. He looked resigned. “We fought over our family assets all those years ago. It’s been so long, and we are both at the end of our lives. Could we let this go?”
Trevor and his family looked at Lex.
What was he trying to play at?
“Hey, what’s the expression all about?” Tommy asked arrogantly. He pointed at Trevor and his family, shouting, “Didn’t you hear what my grandfather said?”
“Tommy, shut your mouth,” Lex ordered.
“Yes, grandfather.” Tommy did as he said.
Lex looked at a dejected Trevor and sighed. “After all this, I’ve finally come to my senses. Why don’t we let bygones be bygones? We’re family. We don’t have to keep doing this.”
As she heard Lex say that, Thea was overjoyed.
Happily, she said, “Grandfather, I’m so happy you could let things go. Now we can live together in harmony as a family once more!”
“What family?” Larry’s son Quinton said unhappily.
When the Callahans were rich, did they ever cross their minds? Now that they were in trouble, they reached out.
Trevor’s face brightened considerably. “The past is in the past. I have forgotten all about it.”
The two old men finally agreed on something.
However, they had been out of touch for more than twenty years. Both families were not familiar with each other as well. Things got slightly awkward.
After Lex bid Thea goodbye, he led everyone back to Eternality.
Thea looked at James.
“What now, honey?”
James was sitting at the entrance of Century Hospital, looking at the people passing by.
This morning, he had been force-fed poison.
The person behind it had so many people at his beck and call. He even dared to use a rocket launcher in the city. Whoever it was must be powerful.
