Ned had been caught completely off guard when Henry suddenly dragged him off the hospital bed and began to beat him up.
He was still ready to fight and protest at first, but as time progressed, he realized that Henry was not joking and truly planned to beat him to death.
Ned was ready to surrender.
Ned was a patient with a handicapped right arm, so he was hardly a match for Henry and his dozen top-notch bodyguards. Not to mention that there was Fallon, who certainly was stronger than Julian, watching from the sidelines as well.
Ned’s end was pretty much already determined.
It was only when Ned was dragged like a lifeless dog from his inpatient building to Jasper’s and he saw Jasper upon entering the room did he know that Henry had come for revenge.
At that, Ned calmed down.
“So they’re your men, Jasper!” Ned had taken a beating and was just slapped across the face by Henry. He was in an exceptionally sorry state, yet his expression could not be more arrogant when he looked at Jasper.
“You’re actually still alive! Very good, then!”
“Haha!
“I’ll remember this, Jasper! Just wait, I’m going to kill you very soon!
“You haven’t learned from the last lesson, have you? Guess that means I went too easy on you, then! Don’t worry, I’ll make sure that instead of a hospital bed, you’ll be lying in the morgue next time!”
