Francine was anything but calm. She had resigned herself to the idea that her brother was gone forever, so seeing him in the flesh felt so surreal that she felt as if she had to touch him to truly believe his existence.
"You're all seeing it too, right? That's Jeremy! Jeremy is back! Let go of me! I'm going to ask him where he's been in the past three years!" Francine struggled to break free of their hold.
Xante adjusted her spectacles and spoke rationally, "Yes, we're seeing the sthing as you are. However, | suggest that you look at who's sitting across from him before you charge in blindly." Francine thus looked over and noticed a woman sitting opposite Jeremy. It was none other than Sophia, and her presence only served to intensify Francine's anger.

Though Annie was just as excited to see Jeremy again, she was fortunately more composed than Francine and tried to persuade her against it. "Calm down, Francine! Corinne probably sent US a message and told US to leave because she saw Uncle Jeremy, too! Let's wait for her to cout before figuring out our next move. Haven't you noticed he's sitting in a wheelchair instead of a regular chair?" Francine noticed that from the beginning, and that was precisely the reason for her urgency earlier. She could not fathom how a healthy man would end up in a wheelchair. She was convinced that Sophia had done something to harm Jeremy just so Sophia could keep him to herself. No other woman was as cunning and evil as Sophia, and Francine was itching to get down from the car to confront Sophia.
Lucas, however, intervened sternly, "That's enough! Quiet down!" Francine went silent after sensing how serious Lucas was. She looked at him with tearful frustration and said, "My brother's survival might not matter to you because you were never on good terms with him, but it matters to me!" Lucas responded coldly, "You're right. | don't care what happens to your brother, but | care about Corinne's happiness. Since we've located him, | won't allow him to disappear again. Right now, we need to wait for Corinne to cto US so we can understand the situation better. But if you insist on charging in and bringing chaos to this already chaotic situation, then be my guest." Francine finally calmed down and wiped away her tears after hearing Lucas ' statement. Though it was still difficult for her to control her emotions, she was at least able to stop herself from acting too rashly.
Upon observing Lucas’ reaction, Xante curiously asked, "I get the feeling that you were long aware of Jeremy's reappearance, Mister Lucas." Lucas remained silent and did not deny it.
Xante frowned and asked, "Does Corinne know about him, too?" "Yes." Lucas nodded. "They've already met." The revelation surprised everyone.
Annie asked in confusion, "If that's the case, why hasn't Uncle Jeremy gone hwith Corinne? Could he have...fallen in love with Sophia?"
