After lunch, Zack Shaw suddenly knocked on the door and walked in. He glanced at Lissy Lock with an ambivalent look as if he had something to say.
Lissy Lock didn't take notice, her head bowed down.
John Fame was the one who broke the silence. "What is it? Speak up."
"Um... Mr. Fame, Josiah Baker wants to meet you..."
He refused almost immediately. "No."
Upon hearing the name, Lissy Lock was taken aback. "Josiah Baker?"
Was he the villain who had kidnapped her, and thrust a knife into John Fame's palm?
Just the thought made Lissy Lock shiver.
John Fame waved his hand, and as Zack started to leave, Lissy Lock spoke, "Wait a minute, what happened to Josiah Baker? Why does he want to see John?"
Zack Shaw replied, "Mrs. Fame, he's... on his last leg."
"Where is he?"
John Fame ordered with a stern voice, "If he's already on his last leg, then find a doctor to treat him. No matter what, keep him hanging on. He doesn't deserve a swift death."
"... Yes, Mr. Fame."
