"Mr. Nicholls, Mrs. Nicholls wouldn't let me follow them to the hospital. She sent me back," Troy reported.
Nathaniel was visibly distressed and asked, "You've been following them all day. How did you not realize they were siblings?"
"Well…" Troy was embarrassed.
How could anyone have known?
They were acting so intimately, and Mavis even gave Dylan the apartment key. He also overheard the phone call in which Mavis mentioned caring deeply about Dylan.
It was all so easy to misunderstand.
Unable to defend himself, Troy could only apologize.
"I'm sorry. I was careless and reported the wrong information."
Nevertheless, it was no longer about placing blame.
Nathaniel had accidentally injured Dylan, his brother-in-law, breaking his arm.
This misunderstanding had escalated dramatically.
"Mr. Nicholls, we should focus on damage control. Mrs. Nicholls had softened her stance because of Mr. Callum and was willing to discuss divorce after your recovery. But now that you've hurt Dylan, I'm afraid this won't end well."
Nathaniel glared at Troy, rubbing his temples.
Did Troy really need to spell out such an obvious and unfavorable situation?
When he struck Dylan, he felt a sense of satisfaction. However, knowing he had mistakenly injured his brother-in-law, his emotions were a complex mix of regret and distress.
…
At the hospital, Dylan had completed his examination.
His right arm was fractured, but fortunately, they had arrived at the hospital in time to prevent bone necrosis.
While his recovery would only take about three months, his movements would be limited as his arm was in a sling, and even eating would be difficult for him.
Hence, Mavis had no choice but to stay and care for him.
"Mae, I'm so unlucky. I finally got to visit you, but I ended up injured."
Mavis agreed that he was indeed unfortunate.

The novel is too abusive it spoils the joy of reading it. I hate the punishment part between sheena and Eliot....
