What is it thenGlenda wasnt sure either but she had a hunch that it had something to do with the incident 22 years agoAt that same moment Lanny was anxiously pacing back and forth while talking on the phone How are things going Have you found her yet Why the hell did she escape from your hospital anyway Youd better give me a proper explanation as soon as possibleThe other party said something in reply something that made Lanny explode in rage You worthless piece of shit You cant even find one person If she makes contact with my daughter and says something she shouldnt Ill personally see to it that your hospital is shut downHe hung up before the other person could utter another word then slammed the phone against his desk Glenda happened to enter the study just then and witnessed his outburstWhat do you think youre doing here Lanny asked crosslyGlenda set the tea service on the table I wanted to check on you Youve been very irate these last few days I am worried that it would affect your health Do you even think about me and Mabel Who are we supposed to rely on if something happens to youLanny gradually calmed down at the sound of her voice then he slowly took the teacup she offeredAre your troubles related to that old woman in the mental hospitalGlendas question earned her a cold glance Dont ask about things you have no business knowingShe complied but only because she already got her answer Her suspicions were right Lanny didnt want her to know the details but the incident from that year was clearly haunting himElyse is married now Glenda remarked Do you think weve done right by her as her parentsLanny sneered What are you saying Its been 22 years Are you finally feeling guilty about all you did to her Or are you scared of justice catching up to you Thats not what I meant Glenda said realizing that she was setting herself up for a trap She quickly changed the subject I just thought Elyse has settled down Dont you think its time for us to make arrangements for Mabels marriage She paused for a while and added She wants to marry Theo WardHal Lanny scoffed The Ward family regards us with contempt If you really care about Mabel you would advise her to give upGlendas hackles rose Then why did you let Elyse marry him in the first placeDo you seriously think I did it for her own good Its because I value the Ward familys power and influence Besides Elyse is not mydaughter Why would I do anything for her sake
