“Bullshit!” Barry stormed towards Megan.
Bethan grabbed her brother. “Barry, go home.”
Barry’s eyes were blazing with anger. “Bethan, this woman deserves a good thrashing!”

Bethan held her brother back firmly to prevent him from doing something rash.
Seeing this, Megan quickly pleaded, “Hugh, I’m telling the truth. I even brought your wife fruits and desserts. The driver here can vouch for me.”
Hugh looked over at the driver by the door, who nodded vigorously. “This young lady’s telling the truth. If it weren’t for her stopping me from calling the police for fear of the kid getting a record, I’d have done it already.”
Before Bethan and Barry could say a word, Megan
pointed at Barry. “Hugh, he just came out of nowhere and punched me. He kicked me onto the road, trying to get:49
me run over!”

Barry, being hot-headed, couldn’t stand this.
He yanked free from Bethan and lunged at Megan. “I’ll kill you!”
Hugh sprang up and easily caught Barry’s swinging fist.

Megan shrieked and buried herself in Hugh’s arms.
Hugh held Barry’s arm tight and glared at him. “Barry, apologize.”
Barry’s forehead veins bulged with pain. He gritted his teeth and bent forward. “Hugh, let me go!”
Bethan rushed over and tried to pry Hugh’s hand off. “Hugh, let my brother go!”
The ward was in chaos.
Megan lowered her head, a faint smile crossing her face.
Then she looked up and urged Hugh, “Hugh, don’t be so mad on my account. It’s just a soft-tissue injury. Let him go.”

shoulder with the other.
He pulled Bethan in front of him. “Bethan, even if you’re protecting your brother, there’s a limit. He has to apologize for what he did.”
Bethan struggled fiercely. “It was your mistress who provoked me first. That’s why Barry stepped in!”
Hugh retorted, “Megan brought you fruits and desserts as a peace offering. What’s the problem with that?”
Bethan was fuming. “Hugh, just because your mistress wants to make amends, I’m supposed to accept it? Are you even thinking straight?”
Hugh shot back, “Megan was kind enough to stop the driver from calling the police for your brother’s sake. That’s not wrong, is it?”
Bethan locked eyes with Hugh and asked, “If I told you Megan did all this on purpose, would you buy it?”
Without a second thought, Hugh blurted out, “I’m sure Megan wouldn’t do such a thing.”

stubbornly held them back. “Since you’ve made up your mind to trust her, why even ask me?”
They stared each other down, and Hugh was the first to break the gaze.
He gave Bethan a push. “If you’ve got nothing good to say, just zip it.”
Bethan staggered back a few feet after the shove.
Barry, who witnessed Hugh push Bethan right in front of him, was seething with rage, his eyes bloodshot.
Despite the throbbing pain in his wrist, he wrenched his hand free from Hugh’s grasp.
There was a sickening pop as his joint dislocated. Hugh’s eyes widened in shock, and he quickly let go.
Barry clutched his injured hand, his face as pale as a ghost and contorted in pain. He almost toppled over.
“Barry!” Both Hugh and Bethan rushed forward.
Béthan sobbed and pushed Hugh aside.

She supported Barry’s arm, tears welling up in her eyes. “Don’t be scared, Barry. I’ll take you to the doctor.”
Barry, pale and in agony but with a fierce determination in his bloodshot eyes, declared, “Bethan, when I grow up, I’ll get even for you!”
That was the final straw for Bethan. She broke down in
tears.
Seeing Bethan cry so pitifully, Hugh felt a twinge in his heart.
He stepped forward and said softly, “Bethan, stop crying. It was my bad for not holding back. I’ll get the best doctor for Barry right away.’
