When Charlotte Allison returned home, Ethan Bert was still awake, preparing some soup to help sober her up. Seeing her return, he served her a bowl.
Ethan Bert informed Charlotte Allison that Mr. and Mrs. Lee mentioned taking a few days off to care for their son.
Charlotte Allison nodded and said, "Hmm, because of William Lee, right?"
Ethan Bert explained, "Yes, Mr. and Mrs. Lee's son has been a disappointment. After the divorce, he lost a significant amount of money, yet continued gambling, relying on someone having his back. But yesterday, he ran into trouble and ended up in the hospital after being beaten."
Mr. and Mrs. Lee only have this one son, and now that he's divorced, it's left to the two elderly parents to care for their only child.
As Ethan Bert spoke, he sighed lightly, thinking to himself: Still, that doesn't justify harming others, especially the Allison Family who took them in, providing for them all these years.
