When Thomas left the ward, Joshua was nowhere to be seen. Yannie was the only one sitting quietly
on the chair playing with her phone. He furrowed his brow. “Where‘s Joshua?” Yannie pursed her lips
and said, “He said he has something to do, so he left.” She then put away her phone and stood up,
staring at Thomas.
“How did the talk with your father go?” “It was alright.” Thomas sighed. “I‘ll send you back first.” At this
time, he could not tell what Senior Howard was up to with the abrupt change in his mood and thoughts.
Had the old geezer truly decided to pass the family to him and kick Tina and her son out of their
residence…or was the old geezer just trying to comfort him while planning something else? He could
not tell.
He could only take one step at a time.
Yannie did not say anything else, looking at Thomas zoning out in his thoughts. She turned around and
walked with him toward the elevator “Stop right there!” came the shrill, demanding voice of a woman.
Yannie and Thomas stopped walking and looked in the direction of the voice. At the far–away end of
the hallway, Tina was walking toward them fiercely.
“Thomas Howard! Go and apologize to Dan!” Thomas twisted and dislocated Dan‘s hands, though it
was not serious as the doctor had made necessary treatments to undo the damage. Still, Thomas
could not just be forgiven easily for that!
Tina wanted Thomas to pay the price. At the very least, she wanted Thomas to apologize to Dan.
Otherwise, it would be a waste after how long Dan cried!
“Apologize?” Thomas laughed mockingly. “You want me to apologize to Dan? Did a donkey kick your
brain?”
What he had done was twisted and dislocated Dan‘s hands. Tina and Dan had taken every chance to
bully him over the years. Even his mother‘s death was related to Tina. What audacity did this woman
have to request him to apologize to Dan? Did she apologize for playing a part in contributing to his
mother‘s death? “Thomas Howard!” Tina gritted her teeth loudly and gave Thomas a death look.”
What‘s wrong with Dan hitting you because you hurt your father? More importantly, he accidentally
struck that woman instead of you. Do you have to be so mad and dislocate his hands? “I‘m only
requesting you apologize to him and not have someone dislocate your hands or cause trouble for you
and this woman, yet you‘re still unwilling to apologize to him? You‘ve crossed the line!”
She then kicked open the door of Senior Howard‘s ward. She stared at Thomas and said, “Don‘t leave
if you dare. Let‘s go talk some sense in front of your father and let him judge!” Yannie frowned at those
words. Everyone knew all Senior Howard cared about were Tina and her son Dan. If she wanted to let
Senior Howard be the judge of this cast, Thomas would always be in the wrong regardless of the
situation!
She furrowed her brow. “Why should we go and let Senior Howard judge? The surveillance camera is
the best witness. If you look back at the surveillance, you can clearly see how your son was the one
who started the fight, and I was the one who stood in front of Thomas so he was not hurt.
“Your son was the one who was wrong. You want Thomas to apologize? Fat chance!” She walked and
stood in front of Thomas as though shielding him. In the past, she never thought about protecting
Thomas. She had always thought Thomas was a man, strong enough to face everything.
However...she just wanted to do something for him before she decided to leave once and for all. Even if
it was just some meaningless protection, she was willing to do it.
“Oh, my!” Tina sneered. “Well, well, Thomas Howard. You need a woman to shield you now?”
