Henry was sitting out on the balcony, staring at the downpour and lightning storm in the distance.

"Grandpa...?"

Helen called out again, finally bringing Henry to his senses.

He turned and forced a smile. "Oh, Helen. What are you doing? Shouldn't you be having dinner with your mother and the others?"

Helen was speechless as she saw that her grandfather had grown more wrinkles over what happened yesterday, and she simply dropped to her knees beside him.

"Oh, Helen." Henry pulled her into his arms and tousled her hair as he groaned in pain. "Frank is such a wonderful kid. Why can't any of you see that?"

"I know." Helen sobbed. "But he's so proud and stubborn. I told him to thank Mr. Graves, but he had to refuse, though Mr. Graves saved his life!"

"Mr. Graves? As in Chaz Graves?!" Henry did a double take and smacked himself on the forehead.

"Oh, Helen—you're such a fool!"

"Grandpa.?"

Henry sighed in disappointment. "Haven't you been deceived enough? Gina and Peter are both too

Before Henry could finish, however, a thunderous bellow resounded from outside Lane Manor.

"Gina Zonda! Come out and face me!!!"

Helen froze at the bellow, while Henry closed his eyes in despair. "Oh, it's over. It's over for our family."

"Don't worry, Grandpa. I'll handle this." Helen quickly came to her senses, picking up her coat as she

rushed downstairs without another word.

Jade, Gina, and everyone else were on their feet too, with Gina growling furiously, "Who does he think he is? He came here, unrepentant and even pompously calling me by name?!"

Jade spotted Helen rushing downstairs as well, and snapped, "Just look at your ex-husband, Helen! He molested my daughter, and this is how he apologizes?"

Cindy turned to Hughie in turn. "Are you friends here yet?"

"Don't worry," Hughie grinned. "They're all professionals—they have the entire Lane Manor covered already. Frank isn't getting away now that he's here!"

"You're the best." Gina smiled gleefully before turning to Helen. "Where do you think you're going?"
