She never expect the man who loved his son so much would dare raised his hand on him. "It seems you have forgotten something important. I know James was in danger, but it seems you have neglected your son." Grandfather Wayne said as he turned his back at them and walked away. "What just happened?" "Sir are you alright?"

"Where have you been?" Jessica asked, shocked to see the man, drunk and looking like a beggar. She thought to herself as she looked at the man, 'How did I even end up in this kind of situation.' "Oh, dear, you're finally home. Did you know, while you were away, everyone has been so kind to me?" He said all drunk as he tried to straighten himself up and walk properly towards her. He was drunk, so he was unable to keep himself from walking in a straight direction. As he stumbled and fell onto the bush, he laughed, "Ha-ha, oh dear, I fell." Jessica blood boiled in annoyance.
