Truth be told, Korbyn harbored discontent towards Lyndon. If Lyndon had not sought assistance from their household previously, Waylen and Rena would have been engaged, eagerly awaiting their nuptials and the prospect of building a family together. Korbyn regretted that a remarkable young woman like Rena could not become his daughter-in-law.
This time, Lyndon had approached Korbyn solely to harness his influence.
Korbyn’s countenance beamed with warmth as he affectionately patted Lyndon’s shoulder, assuming the role of an elder brother. “Lyndon, if you were to implore Waylen’s aid for Elvira, it may only exacerbate the situation. Young individuals tend to be headstrong when faced with matters of the heart. I doubt Rena will easily forgive Elvira, especially considering that Elvira sought her out herself.”
Lyndon inquired anxiously, “Do you have any suggestions?”
Korbyn’s smile persisted, radiating wisdom. “I do have a suggestion but I fear it may require you to humble yourself.”
Lyndon humbly sought counsel.
As Korbyn replenished their tea, he shared, “Elvira’s actions were excessively forceful. According to the typical legal procedures, she may face imprisonment for six months to a year. What if you were to obtain a certificate from the hospital stating that she suffers from a mental illness?”
Lyndon stood there, stunned.
He gazed at his long-time friend Korbyn, utterly surprised by the unexpected proposal.
Issue a certificate for mental illness…
If Korbyn’s suggestion held merit, did that mean. any possibility of Elvira and Waylen being together was utterly quashed?
Lyndon pondered the matter privately.
Rena, his biological daughter, possessed intelligence, excellence and sound judgment. Even if she missed out on Waylen, she would undoubtedly find a deserving partner. However, Elvira was different.
Thus, Lyndon harbored a fervent desire for Elvira and Waylen to unite in matrimony.
The current stance of the Fowler family, as conveyed through Korbyn’s attitude, revealed their aversion to accepting Elvira as their future daughter-in-law.
Lyndon remained stiff for an extended moment before mustering a forced smile and remarking, “Well, that is one way to approach it.”
Korbyn, perceptive of Lyndon’s discontent, chose to lay all the cards on the table.
“Lyndon, I understand your love for your child, but there must be boundaries. Moreover… Rena is your own flesh and blood. Which child holds greater significance? Lyndon, you must make a decision. Just so you know, I hold Rena in high regard, and my wife also admires her.”
Lyndon comprehended the underlying message conveyed by the Fowler Family.
They did not approve of Elvira.
Lyndon felt a pang of sorrow for Elvira. No matter how headstrong she mught be, she was stll his daughter.
Lyndon worked trelessly to manipulate the situation in order to secure mental illness certificate.
Eventually, Elvira was released from custody.
She appeared visibly worn after these tumultuous days.
A police officer approached her, remarking, “You are fortunate to have obtained a certificate of mental illness. However… we will be monitoring your progress. Miss Coleman, you must undergo at least two weeks of treatment for your mental condition, otherwise this certificate will become null and void.”
