Later that evening, the Heights servant Joseph arrives and asks that his employer Heathcliff wants custody of his son.
Edgar promises to bring his nephew over to Wuthering Heights tomorrow. The next morning, Linton was woken up early by Nelly and escorted by her to the Heights. He was sad that he had to leave the Grange and live at the Heights, and was surprised to learn that he had a father, as his mother never talked about him.
Nelly and Edgar manage to coax him to get dressed and take him to the Heights. Along the way, Nelly tries to comfort him by telling him that the Heights is a proper place for him to be healthy and his father is a good man. He promises to Nelly that he will be kind to his son, and Linton is taken inside and served some milk-porridge by Joseph. Linton refuses to eat it, so he was served some boiled tea instead. He begs Nelly not to leave him with his father, but she departs from the Heights.
Following his arrival at the Heights, Linton becomes more weak and whiny and Heathcliff cannot stand him. He doesn't recognize her when they meet again after a few years and he had grown more taller than her. He is so weak and sickly that he is unable to show her around the house, so his cousin Hareton does it instead and Heathcliff demands him to go after them.
Shortly afterwards, Linton and Cathy start secretly contacting with each other through letters. But after her letters were destroyed by Nelly, Linton's correspondence with her ends. By the mid fall, he becomes more depressed, and Heathcliff convinces Cathy to go see him while he is away since he could be dying of a broken heart.
One rainy morning, he begs in his whiny voice to Joseph to put more coals into the fire. When Cathy arrives, he tells her not to kiss him as it would take his breath away. He says that he is tired of writing to her and hates the servants for not caring for him. He brings up to her the possibility of marriage so he would have her take care of him. He comments that wives love their husbands, but when Cathy tells him that Isabella never loved Heathcliff, he gets angry and the two of them argue about their fathers.
His chair was shoved by Cathy and he falls to the floor. He starts having a coughing and choking fit, and says to her that she has assaulted him and had already damaged his fragile health, just to make her feel bad. He never accepts her apology. As Cathy prepares to leave, he writhes on the floor so he had to be propped up with pillows by her and reciting poetry. He asks her to come and nurse him back to health, and every night after Cathy cares for her sick father and Nelly, she would arrive at the Heights and Linton would be treated by her.
A few weeks go by, and during that time, Linton saw Cathy more frequently. One time, they argued how they would spend a summer afternoon, and they make up by playing ball outside. Check it out , then come back to us. Poor Edgar Linton is not the type to be dude-watched by either Charlotte or Emily.

Living a pampered life down at Thrushcross Grange, Edgar really doesn't have much to worry about. The first time we see him he is weeping over a puppy, which naturally makes him a big ninny in Heathcliff's eyes.
