When Oscar Land and Luke Land arrived at the East Garden, Irene Morton was pacing anxiously at Asher Land's door.
"Big brother, second brother, you're here! Please try to talk some sense into Brother Asher..." Seeing them, Irene ran towards them as if she'd seen a savior.
Luke Land pushed at the door, but it wouldn't budge; it was locked from the inside.
From inside came the sound of a bottle shattering, followed by the clatter of other things falling to the floor.
Without a second thought, Luke Land kicked the door, needing several kicks to finally break it down.
But when he saw the scene inside, he was still left speechless.
Asher Land was slumped against the side of the bed, dead drunk and unconscious, surrounded by fallen bottles, filling the room with a pungent smell of alcohol. His right hand was bleeding profusely, with shards of glass visibly embedded in it...
He looked exceptionally haggard, his face pale, and even a slight stubble had emerged on his jaw.
