Tangled Up In Blue

Chapter 2 Treatment

After hearing this, Malcolm finally turned around and looked at Poppi with a frown.

"I..." Poppi stammered, as she didn't expect that he would look back at her. But upon seeing the confused look on his face, Poppi put on a radiant smile. "There's a newly released set of limited edition jewelry, bags, and shoes. I want them all."

"You can buy it with the money I'm giving you," Malcolm scoffed as he squinted his eyes at Poppi. Then, he turned back quickly to walk out the door.

"Malcolm!" she shouted after him hurriedly. "There's one more thing I wanted to ask you!"

"Yeah right," Malcolm sneered and kept walking.

By now, Poppi was briskly walking after him, her face twisted with anxiety. "Malcom! When can I see Celine? Or let me call her doctor at the very least!"

This stopped Malcom dead in his tracks. "Celine..." he uttered with a short chuckle. "If it were possible, I would make sure that you will never see her again for the rest of your life." The words that came out of Malcom's mouth were as thick as poison.

"But she's my sister! She's the only family I have left in this world! You can't do this to me!" Poppi protested as she grabbed hard on Malcom's sleeve. "Please... Let me see her..."

"Your father's still lying in bed, isn't he? Although I doubt that he would ever wake up again, at least he's not dead. Technically speaking, Celine isn't the only family you have left. Don't exaggerate things, Poppi." Malcom then brushed off Poppi's hand off him as if she was made out of filth, feeling satisfied at the embarrassed and defeated look on her face. "Besides, she's doing well on her own without having you around," he added with a sneer.

Poppi stumbled back a few steps. Her heart felt so heavy in her chest that she could do nothing but watch him make his leave. Without another glance back, Malcom shut the door with a loud bang, causing the chandelier in the living room to give a slight chime. Every single time Poppi mentioned her sister, it would always turn out like this.

It was eerily silent in the apartment.

Only Poppi's breath and the sound of the clock could be heard. Tick... tock...
