Frank could feel the somberness in Henry''s words just from a little probing. "Don''t say so,


    Gramps. You called me to help Luna, didn''t you?"


    "I didn''t want to get involved, and I know better than you what Jade and her daughter are like.


    But..."


    Henry paused and sighed lengthily. "Just consider this as you doing me onest favor, and I


    won''t ask for anything else."


    "What are you saying?!" Frank scowled, his fingers trembling over his phone as he sighed. "I


    wouldn''t be alive if not for you."


    "I''m so sorry, Frank."


    It hurt Frank to hear the shaking, tearful voice on the other end. "Don''t worry, Gramps—I''ll save


    Luna, and don''t speak about this being thest time or anything. Your family won''t fall apart as

    doesn''t hurt because she isn''t your daughter, huh?!"


    The ck-d man''s breathing turned rushed, clearly angry.


    Still, he calmed himself as he put his w-like fingers around Luna''s wrist to feel her pulse.


    "Be gentle!" Jade bellowed. "Don''t you dare hurt my daughter!"


    The ck-d man''s knuckles clenched, and he looked on the verge of the outburst.
