Titus Shaw showed no mercy. A boundless terror instantly enveloped Mr. Yates, his cries for help reduced to a whisper.
No one in the hospital room dared to step forward. They remained where they were, watching Titus Shaw teach the man a lesson.
Iris Yates was scared speechless.
Ruth Shaw lunged forward to help, but Cecilia Adler blocked her path. "Are you going to stab your own brother in the back again?"
Ruth Shaw froze. Her face went pale as she turned to Old Mr. Shaw, pleading desperately, "Dad, you have to make Titus stop!"
Old Mr. Shaw gazed at the nearly limp form of Mr. Yates and couldn't bear it. "Titus..."
"Grandpa Shaw, didn't you promise you would see that I get justice? Now the truth is out. Uncle Shaw is punishing him for his inability to tell right from wrong. Shouldn't you be punishing *her* for the grievances she's caused me time and again?" Cecilia Adler pointed at Mr. Yates, Leo Yates, and Ruth Shaw.
