Chapter 1199

Chapter 1199 After Kingsley’s parents and grandfather heard that something had happened to Sherman, they came straight over from Lanechett. Although they were told that Sherman was safe, they still felt worried about her. They insisted on coming over to visit Sherman overnight. They didn’t feel reassured until they saw that Sherman was fine. Sherman told them the whole story. There was a long silence. Kingsley's mother said, "Since Luke has admitted he is wrong. Why not just give him one more chance? I feel pitiful for Sherman. But we owe the Benningtons. From now on, we are no longer in debt to the Bennington family. I will no longer be soft with Luke if he does something harmful to us again. Sherman, I'm so sorry for having you suffer all this because of us." Sherman shook her head and said, “No worries. I think the same as you, Mom." Kingsley’s father then said, "I think the same as you too. We'd better persuade Kingsley to let Luke off the hook. But Luke has crossed the line this time." "If it hadn't been for us, perhaps that tragic accident to Luke's family could have been avoided. Since the change in Luke is related to Zora’s death and he has learned the lesson, let's forgive him this time." Kingsley’s grandfather said, "Sherman, could you go and tell Kingsley our final decision?" Sherman raised her head, "Why me? You are beloved and well-respected in the family. It's better for you to tell Kingsley this decision! I am not in a position to do so." "Who would refuse to do what he can do? Do you think that he loves me more than you? He only listens to you, not me. He is deaf to my words. And he always makes decisions without talking to me first!" Kingsley’s grandfather grunted. "Can someone's grandpa be more important than his wife?" "..." Sherman didn't know what to say. "You’ll complete this important task! Where is Cody? Where is my dear grandson? I haven't seen him for a long time. I wanna kiss him on the face!" Kingsley’s grandfather turned around and went for Cody. Before going to bed, Sherman talked with Kingsley about Luke's matter again. Kingsley asked Sherman why she so cared about this matter. "It's not that I care about it. I just feel burdened. The kindness Luke showed to me at the end made me feel that I shouldn't be cruel to him." Kingsley didn't say a word and went to the bathroom. Sherman stomped her foot in anger. He is really good at evading the subject! Two days later, Luke returned to Santabaca from Lanechett. He was still wearing the same clothes he wore when he ran away from the woods that day. The clothes were dirty and messy. He hadn't rested for a whole night. His eyes were bloodshot. When he came over, Sherman and Kingsley were at home. "It's my fault, and now I'm here to fulfill my promise. " Luke hadn't slept for a few days, and he was exhausted now. Before Sherman could say anything, Kingsley had gotten up and punched Luke hard on the face. Luke, however, was very weak. He fell to the ground immediately. Blood flowed down the corner of his mouth. Luke struggled to stand up. He didn't fight back. Just as Luke stood on his feet, Kingsley then punched him again. More blood flowed from the corner of his mouth. Luke was so weak and he could barely stand up. Seeing this scene, Sherman was anxious and worried. She hurriedly reached out to stop Kingsley but was pushed aside by Kingsley. When Luke stood up, he said to Sherman, "Would you please leave us alone for a moment? I need to talk with him." Sherman was still worried, and she worried that Luke would be beaten to death by Kingsley. She feared more that Kingsley would lose control and go to extremes. However, Luke said again, "Please."
