Nathaniel was as unfortunate as a person could get for being reported as a suspect by his own wife.
Lionel, not one to let a good drama go to waste, threw an arm around Nathaniel's shoulder and whispered teasingly, "While you're being investigated at the National Investigation Bureau, Mavis will be at the hospital taking care of that guy. I have to say, you're looking more and more like the poor sap in this story."
Nathaniel's face darkened, his lips pressed into a tight line.
Lionel covered his mouth to hide his grin, clearly enjoying the moment. "Alright, I'll stop messing with you. Let's head back and get your statement done. The sooner we finish, the sooner you can go to the hospital."
Nathaniel's expression finally softened a bit, and he instructed Troy, "No need to follow me. Go to the hospital and keep an eye on Mavis."
"Yes, sir."
…
Evan was in surgery for a full three hours.
Mavis sat outside the operating room, waiting.
Dylan rushed over when he heard the news, and he was startled to see the blood on Mavis's clothes.
"Mae, are you okay?"
"I'm fine. This isn't my blood, it's Evan's. He's seriously injured."
Dylan paced back and forth in front of the operating room, eyeing the glowing red light above the door.
"Nathaniel is such a monster! He really went for the kill this time. He wants Evan dead! Mae, how can you still hope to give such a terrifying man a chance to change? Just sign the divorce papers and leave with Callum already."
Mavis kept her eyes down and said nothing, the smell of blood still strong on her clothes.
Dylan was frantic, pacing in front of her and continuing to persuade her, "Last time when Nathaniel broke my hand, I saw the murderous intent in his eyes. Mae, if we weren't siblings, he probably would have dealt with me the same way he did with Evan."

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