At this moment, the door to the hospital room was pushed open by Noah Quinn. He rushed in and saw Mrs. Quinn lying on the bed, unable to get up. His eyes were red, and for the first time, he yelled at her with all his anger:
"It's true! It's Grandfather who made me listen to you! It's Grandfather who made me listen to you! It's Grandfather who made me listen to you!"
Noah shouted three times before his trembling voice settled back to its usual volume.
He said, "Grandma, why did you do this to Grandpa? Why! Grandpa... Grandpa treated you so well, why did you do this?"
In truth, he understood, but couldn't comprehend it; that's why he wanted to ask, why? Why! Why!!!
What Lucas said—Mrs. Quinn could deceive herself by saying he was lying, but she raised Noah and understood his temperament best. She couldn't deceive herself with his words.
Indeed, why?
Mrs. Quinn stared at the ceiling, her tears unknowingly blurring her eyes, as Lucas's words echoed like a curse in her ears.
