Chapter 1229
George handed her the phone, and she tapped on the screen. [Harold…]
This took a lot of effort from her, and it seemed that if
she was not careful, she would aggravate the injury on her back.
“(
George figured out what she meant and quickly said, Harold is fine. I won’t punish him. I initially just wanted him to suffer ten strikes to make sure he learns his
lesson, but I think I’ll just let it go.”
George was not lying. He had been truly furious and
wanted to teach Harold a lesson, but he only intended to give him ten strikes.
He had planned to bear the remaining twenty strikes himself.
After all, George was supposed to be in charge while their father was away. His siblings had ended up like this because he had not been strict enough with them, and he had the unavoidable responsibility of supervising them.
But for the moment, in order to prevent Harold from getting punished, his sister would try to shield him, even with her weak body. George could not bear it and was unwilling to complete the issue of Harold’s punishment.
Upon hearing his words, Ninian seemed rather relieved. She then pointed to the screen again with a somewhat anxious expression.
George saw what she meant and said, “Don’t worry, he’s in a stable mood for now. Maybe he feels a little embarrassed to come in and see you.”
Ninian grasped his hand, looking nervous.
Harold patted her hand to reassure her and called out, Hal, get in here.”
Harold heard George summoning him and slowly came inside.
“Come here, Grapie can’t see you.”
When he heard this, Harold swooped forward.
“Grapie, are you in pain? Do you want me to give it a kiss?”
George wanted to be caring at first, but, when he heard this, he became angry and amused at the same time. He also felt like giving Harold a good whack.
‘Do you even hear yourself?! Is this what a decent person should say? Ninian’s an adult now, and the injury is on her back. You want to kiss it? HOW are you going to kiss it?! This guy really doesn’t think before he speaks, how unreliable!‘
do it for you?” George said with a smile that did not reach
his eyes.
