Luna flips her blanket and put on her indoor slipper before she sneakily out from the bedroom. She still remembers the plan that Mr. Carson said to her over the dinner today.
'We need to make it look like Danny gets loose from the lodge and you have to find it. Out of the house to the maze garden.'
Just as the planned, they act like Danny is on the loose and they separate way to find the dog. Once they were safe from the camera's area, Luna exhales in relief.
"Hah~" She then sits on the bench where Mr. Carson, Doctor Fang, and the dog already there, waiting for her.
"Why Doctor Fang is here too?" She asked.
"Well, it for our alibi, of course, what if you both were spotted by the maid? The gossip will spread out like fire and both of you have to face our boss's boss." Doctor Fang said with a confident face. While actually, he just wants to pry about his patient history too.
"Alright. I get it. Don't look at me like I am a child." Luna reply and she leaned her back on the bench. Danny obediently sits on the ground in front of her.
Mr. Carson then looked at Doctor Fang, they share the same expression on their face. 'Technically, she is still a child.'
"Okay, Mr. Carson..I'm all ear." She ready to hear the story behind her husband's secret. What happens before he had the accident. Why they treat them like a prisoner in the house?
"Oh wait," She snapped her finger and look at the two of them. "Can we drop the formality? I mean, I actually don't really like it. If we're were in working hours, that's acceptable. But, when it's not, let just drop it. I call you both by your name. Is that alright with you both?"
Both Mr. Carson and Doctor Fang agree with her idea. She's the madam of the house, she can instruct them to do anything if she wants.
"So, tell me, what is his story?"
"Well," Mr. Carson inhales for a moment before he continues after that.
"We start with Madam Victoria Wayne, she had three children with her husband, William Wayne. The first child is Mr. James, the second is Madam Claudia and the last one is Mr. Jacob. Master Jacob marry and die at a young age and leave his wife and two twins couple under Wayne house. Thus, the only son left is Mr. James.
"Master James then marry Daisy Shawn, his first love and first wife. But, sadly, their marriage only lasts for two years before Mr. James divorce his wife which is pregnant at that time. He then marries Madam Barbara. Because of hate toward his ex-wife, he didn't give much for the alimony and let her suffer. Madam Daisy then was thrown out from her own family for bringing disgrace to them. Nevertheless, Madam Victoria took pity on her. To Madam Victoria, Madam Daisy is a good person. She offers her a place where she could live and provided her baby's need.
"Everyone on Wayne household knows about the first son of Mr. James with Madam Daisy, every school breaks, Master Liam, the first son of Mr. James will return to Wayne's mansion and spend his day until the new semester begins That's the only time Master Raymond meet his half brother. They both quite close and on the fifth birthday of Master Raymond, Miss Sarah, move into the neighborhood. She becomes a friend with Wayne's grandchildren since they were in the kindergarten. Everyone in Wayne knows her. Including Master Liam.
"Years passing by after so many times Master Raymond get a rejection of his confession from Miss Sarah, she finally accepts his love in his early twenties. He was happy, but we see that Miss Sarah is not. She starts to show that disappoint face when Master Liam stop coming to the Wayne mansion. Master Liam study abroad and after an incident between her mother and Madam Barbara once, he never visits Wayne household ever again. I heard Master James give his own son warning and threaten them, though I'm not sure about that.
"But, we knew, Madam Victoria secretly meet Master Liam from time to time. There is one thing that happens before Master Raymond's accident. Master Raymond..he..instructed me to tail on Miss Sarah's often visited the northern state."
Luna lifts up her eyebrow. She was so absorbed with the story until she feels her heart throbbing fill with the thrilling.
"What happens next?"
"Well, I do as he instructed, but it was not a good one. She actually meeting Master Liam secretly. The way she laughs, she speaks, she stares at the man..one would know that she love him. But, maybe Master Liam is an airhead or dumb to notice that-"
"He's not dumb. He already had someone he loves." Doctor Fang interject. He knows about that information when he was stationed at the northern state hospital.
He once saw Liam carry a girl in his arm just because she had a period cramp into the emergency department late at night. He looks so pale and terrified that night. When he asked the girl, the girl happily said that he's her boyfriend.
The way he looked at the couple, just like looking at the perfect picture of a loving husband and wife. They were both filled with happiness aura surrounding them. A relationship that is quite pure at their youth time.
"Oh? That's new." Mr. Carson tilts his head a bit.
"He doesn't want to expose his girlfriend's identity among the aristocrats maybe? But, I tell you, he cares for that girl."
"Okay, put that Liam's story aside. Then, what happened to Raymond?" Luna impatient to hear the next.
Mr. Carson silent for a moment. A bit hesitant to tell her, but he wants Luna to cure him too. Thus, she has to know everything about that man.
"After that, I reported back to Master Raymond. He is actually a nice and obedient kid when he was still a child, but when the parent itself shape him into a devil, he becomes one when he's adult. When he receives the photos of Sarah and Liam, you know, he turns rampage.
"He waits until she returns from her business trip and they had a big fight. A very very big fight. I guess almost everything inside that house is turned upside down because of him. Everything was smashed into the floor, wall, shattered until there's no space at all on the floor."
Luna rubs her hand on both of her arms, feeling goosebump a bit. "Hmm..just like his personalities," Luna added.
"True. And then, Miss Sarah leave him. He didn't hurt her even a little. She had another thing to do at the outside of the country. This time, she leaves for good and for a long period, they say, but I think she just runs away from the mess she made." Doctor Fang shrugged his shoulder.
"Master Raymond did chase her after he calms down a bit, but it was too late for him..she already aboard the plane and he..you know the rest of the story." Doctor Fang continue again on behalf of Mr. Carson who looks a bit tired from the long explanation.
"Hmm..that's tragic..but, why me?" Luna let out her curiosity that has been residing in her thought long ago.
"We wonder the same thing too, Luna. Why you?" Mr. Carson shrugged his shoulder.
"The only person who knows the reason is, none other than Madam Victoria herself. Try and asked her if you can."
Sighing deeply, Luna said, "Like, I can."
