Chapter 40 Shawn Was Beaten
"I do." Shawn nodded, "Wait for a moment, I have something to do."
After saying that, he left.
Norah watched his walking away. She didn't know what he was going to do, but since he told her to wait for a while, it meant that he would definitely come back.
In that case, she just needed to wait.
Anyway, the appointment time was two o'clock in the afternoon.
There was still plenty of time.
Shawn almost trotted all the way to Mr. Lawson's room.
When he arrived, Martin was sitting on the wooden reclining chair with his eyes closed. Someone incensed in the room, and James was waiting on the side.
"Grandpa."
He called out. Mr. Lawson opened his eyes and looked at him, as his expected.
"You're here, sit down!"
Just as Mr. Lawson finished speaking, Shawn suddenly knelt down in front of him.
"Grandpa, I'm sorry, I know what you mean. You don't want us to divorce. It's me who failed to live up to you."
"So, are you still determined to get a divorce?" Mr. Lawson asked immediately.
Shawn knelt down, pursed his lips, and said nothing.
But silence had represented everything.
"No wonder Norah insists on getting a divorce. Look at you, everyone will feel heartbreak."
"James, help him up." The old man's voice was stern and calm.
James walked over and bent over to support Shawn up.
Suddenly, Mr. Lawson took a cane and hit him.
The old man beat him heavily.
The pain instantly enrolled Shawn's entire back.
Seeing him endure without humming or begging for mercy, the old man became more and more angry.
He raised the cane and beat him again.
After the two time's beat, Shawn felt hot pain shooting over his back.
"Are you still going to divorce?" The old man asked again.
"I'm sorry, grandpa."
Shawn was still stubborn and insisted on divorcing.
He stood there straight like a pine, and didn't frown his brows once with his fists clenched and gritted his teeth desperately.
The longer time Mr. Lawson looked at Shawn, the more angry he felt.
He was so angry that he raised his cane again, and tried to beat him again.
Shawn glanced at the cane he raised, pursed his lips, and gritted his teeth, ready to bear it.
James rushed over and hugged Mr. Lawson's arm, "My master, you can't beat him again. Or the young master will be hurt."
"He is very healthy and can't be hurt for my beating." The old man was very angry.
James looked at Shawn again and shouted anxiously, "Young master, yield to your grandpa. How can you bear such a beating?"
"James, I know you are thinking for me, and I also know that grandpa is very angry. If hitting me can make him feel better, let him do it."
Shawn was so stubborn that made Mr. Lawson tremble with anger.
He pushed James away, and hit Shawn heavily with his cane.
This time, it was very hurtful.
Shawn's whole body suddenly leaned forward, after he groaned, blood spit out from his mouth.
Soon, the bright red blood stained the carpet.
