Cecilia Adler and Ronan Shaw arrived at the hospital and went to Iris Yates's room.
A crowd was gathered around the hospital bed.
Iris Yates's leg was in traction and her body was tightly wrapped in bandages. Her face was black and blue from the fall. Upon seeing Cecilia, she pointed a finger, her words slurred as if her mouth were full of marbles. "Y-you... you... You still dare to come?"
All eyes turned to Cecilia Adler in unison.
"Cecilia," Old Mr. Shaw said. "You're here. Iris says you pushed her down the slope. I don't believe it. Why don't you explain it to your aunt?"
Ruth Shaw's eyes were venomous. She rushed forward, raising her hand to slap Cecilia Adler.
Cecilia Adler had suffered at her hands before and was prepared this time.
