Helen could not help groaning inwardly at her mother's tendency to blab—how was she supposed to explain this?
Still, she kept her reaction controlled as she said awkwardly, "It's my family's business, Chaz."
"Then I won't ask," Chaz said, flashing a gentlemanly smile. "Oh, and don't worry—I've already contacted a famous Seaham healer. He should be here soon, and he'll help cure Luna soon enough."
"Really? Thank you, Chaz!" Helen exclaimed in surprise and quickly thanked him.
"Why are you being formal again? Your troubles are mine, alright?" Chaz kept smiling.
"Exactly! Just see how amazing Mr. Graves is, and he's the chief of the Seaham Martial Artist Association too!" Gina appeared out of nowhere, flattering Chaz as loudly as she could. "Helen, you should get along better with him and forget about your lowlife ex-husband."

Riverton, Seaham, and Southdam." Jade appeared alongside Gina as well, cutting her short.
Still, she was just slightly less haughty around Chaz, even showing gratitude. "Thank you so much for

"Mom, Frank is actually—"
"That's enough! How are you still on his side?! Don't you know how much our family has suffered
because of him?!"
Gina was seething at her daughter's hesitation and stubborn insistence to defend that walking disaster
even now.
Jade added icily then, "You've seen how that lowlife treated my daughter and myself, Helen. And you're
still only seeing the good things he did? If you stay in touch with that petty man, you can forget about

Gina actually flinched at Jade's threat and grabbed Helen's daughter as she snapped, "Oh, you heard
her! Don't ever stay in touch with that lowlife, you hear?!"

Helen trailed off as the three pairs of eyes watched her, and she nodded in exasperation.
Whatever This could wait
"I'm sure there's a misunderstanding here, and don't worry—I'd never let anyone hurt Helen." Chaz then spoke up to clear the awkwardness before turning toward Helen as his tone changed. "I just happen to be officiating the opening ceremony of a new dojo here in Riverton. Mrs. Lane here told me that you had a few close calls, so why don't you come with me and learn a thing or two for self-defense?"
Before Helen could respond, Gina was clapping her hands and stamping her feet in delight. "Great! That's wonderful!"
