Gossip Girl Reborn

Chapter 39 Grim Reaper 

Isabella shook her head. What a quick temper he has. He’s already this angry upon finding out Henry and Marjorie are looking for Luna: I wonder how he’d react if he found out about their bizarre ideas. He’d probably hit the roof. 

Trailing after Christopher to enjoy the show, they quickly arrived at Bianca’s ward. 

As expected, Bianca wasn’t even admitted to the intensive care unit. Yet Henry and Marjorie had the nerve. to mislead Luna over the phone, making it sound as if Bianca was on her deathbed. Are they not worried that their lies will come true? 

Meanwhile, Henry and Marjorie were frustrated over not being able to reach Luna, cursing incessantly. 

“That heartless girl! Her sister got injured because of her, yet she won’t even bother to come visit her!” snapped Henry. 

Marjorie was anxious. “What should we do? Has Luna really made up her mind to abandon us? If she’s this heartless, she wouldn’t agree to donate her organs to Bianca even if we find her, would she?” 

“It would be heartless of her to refuse since she’s the one who caused this mess! I’ll head to her school by then to see why they accepted a despicable student like her!” 

Wow. I’ve never seen anyone like them! I low audacious of them to voice out such thoughts self–righteously instead of keeping it discreet! Looks like they don’t think they’re doing anything wrong! But they’re in for a beating now that Christopher heard them.) 

As expected, Christopher was beside himself with rage, and he charged forward without a second thought. Before anyone could react, he seized Henry by the collar with his uninjured hand, and abruptly slammed, him against the wall. 

“Ah!” Henry shrieked in pain. 

Startled, Hayden quickly looked around to make sure no one was watching. It was his first time witnessing Christopher lose his temper like that, so he instantly gave up on trying to calm him down and chose to be on the lookout for him instead. 

Henry was utterly stunned after the pain subsided and he got a clear look at the person before him. Never in his wildest dreams did he expect someone younger than him to treat him this way. 

“Christopher, it’s you! What are you doing?” 

“Christopher, let go of him! How could you…” Marjorie panicked as she snapped back to her senses, trying to pull Christopher away but to no avail. He refused to budge, as strong as a raging bull. 

Left without a choice, Marjorie could only seek help from others. She noticed Alexander and Isabella standing not far away, so she called out, “Alexander, Isabella, hurry…” 

Isabella blinked and leisurely turned around to sit on the nearby bench. She was a bit tired from running over, so she decided to sit down and enjoy the show. 

Taken aback by Isabella’s indifference, Marjorie turned to look at Alexander, silently asking for help. The heir of the Quirk family surely won’t be this heartless, right?

Chapter 39 Grim Reaper 

To her dismay, Alexander glanced at Isabella and settled down beside her before addressing Christopher, “Be careful not to aggravate your injury, or Dad and Mom will worry.” 

With that, he noticed Isabella secretly recording a video and was at a loss for words. Though I think Dad and Mom’s curiosity over what happened will probably outweigh their concern. 

Marjorie opened her mouth to speak, but words cluded her. She could only clutch the back of her head, nearly fainting from the shock. 

Henry was livid but was practically lifted into the air by the towering Christopher, who held him up by his collar. His feet dangled in mid–air, and he couldn’t even struggle. He was so frustrated that his face and neck reddened. 

“We are your elders! Have you lost your mind?” he thundered. 

“I think you’re the ones who have lost your mind. You’re hardly fit to be parents. Thankfully, Luna has severed ties with your family. Otherwise, she would have been killed by you!” Christopher yelled. Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

Henry and Marjorie stared at Christopher in disbelief, not expecting him to behave like this for Luna’s sake. It hadn’t been long since they last saw him, yet he changed a lot. 

“Wat nonsense are · 

talking about? Didn’t you get hurt too? Are you saying all of this wasn’t because of Luna? Not only did she fail to protect her younger sister as an elder sister should, but she also dragged her into this mess. If it weren’t for her, would Bianca’s face and kidneys have been damaged? Even if she refused to make sacrifices, she should’ve at least made amends for her mistakes! She must’ve figured it out and deliberately avoided us, refusing to save her sister! How could she be so heartless?” 

Christopher finally understood the torture Luna had experienced for over two decades with parents like 

them. 

He was so infuriated that his hands were trembling, his eyes wide open as if he’d beat Henry and Marjorie into a pulp any time. 

Isabella couldn’t help but scoff. “From what I hear, you plan on taking her skin and kidney. I don’t understand. You can just Bianca’s own skin to fix her disfigurement. As for the kidney, she can always wait for a kidney donor. It’s not like she’s dying. Do you have to get it from Luna? Do you despise Luna so much that you want her to suffer?” 

“Hey! Watch your mouth! We’re her parents! Why would we want her to suffer? Bianca is too frail to go through all that organ–matching hassle. Twins are the most compatible, making Luna the best candidate for the transplant. This is inevitable. Family members should always help each other.” 

Christopher spat with rage, “Help each other? Why don’t you tell me, has Bianca ever done anything to help Luna since she was born?” 

Words cluded Henry and Marjorie. They racked their brains hard and couldn’t come up with a single. example. 

Christopher scoffed, “Luna has always been the only one supporting Bianca. Even after Bianca’s true, malicious nature was exposed, you all still treat her like a treasure, favoring her over Luna!” 

Christopher found it absurd. Like himself, Henry and Marjorie were deceived by Bianca’s act. Looking back at how Bianca played them all like a fiddle, he was thoroughly disgusted, but astonishingly, Henry and Marjorie didn’t regret their actions at all.

Chapter 9 mm Reaper 

“All those years of their lives would’ve been a waste if they didn’t continue loving Bianca,” Alexander interjected with rare snarkiness, hitting the nail on the lead. 

Isabella nodded in agreement. It’s hard to get these geriatrics to admit their mistakes. 

A fleeting look of guilt crossed Henry’s features, but he quickly said through gritted teeth, “At the end of the day, this is a family matter… 

Here we go again, the same old trick. When they can’t win with reason, they resort to playing the emotional card. Isabella scoffed deep down. 

Alexander found Isabella’s inner thoughts amusing and spoke up. “A family matter, huh? So… did you guys get a compatibility test done?” 

Everyone was stunned to hear that. It was as if a bolt of lightning had struck them all. 

“Apart from her twin sister, the two of you, as her parents, are the most suitable candidates compared to strangers, Isn’t that right?” Alexander said nonchalantly 

Henry and Marjorie froze as if their brains had momentarily stopped functioning. 

For a brief moment, Isabella was utterly repulsed by their selfishness. 

“Hubby, how could you suspect Mr. and Mrs. Cowell? Even though they’re extremely biased, both Luna and Bianca are their daughters. Now that something has happened to one of them, I’m sure their first instinct would be to provide help themselves and not burden their child. Surely, they wouldn’t use their other daughter for parts. That’s simply impossible,” Isabella said sarcastically. 

Alexander jolted upon hearing the term “Hubby” and instinctively responded, “Is that so?” 

“Of course! The compatibility test must’ve failed, which was why they had no choice but to resort to asking for Luna’s help. If they themselves could help, they surely wouldn’t let a young woman, who’s in her prime and hasn’t even experienced love, marriage, or motherhood yet, be left with two large scars on her body. and lose her vibrancy, health, and freedom to dress as she pleases,” she said. 

“Indeed, you make a good point.” He nodded in agreement. 

“Exactly! They are their parents, not grim reapers. Even the cruelest tiger won’t harm its cub!”
