Ethan’s pupils narrowed. Theodore’s condition was beyond critical. He had to be taken to the hospital immediately.
*Separate them. Don’t let Theodore’s filthy blood splash on my precious nephew,” Royce said coldly.
Several bodyguards in black rushed forward, reaching for Ethan, trying to pull him away from Theodore.
“Get away from me!”
Ethan knocked their hands aside and slammed his fist into the face of the nearest guard. The blow sent the man stumbling backward.
Seizing the moment, Ethan hoisted Theodore onto his back. Theodore’s consciousness was already fading, but Ethan didn’t hesitate. He turned and charged toward the exit.
“Stop him!” Royce barked.
More bodyguards closed in.
With Theodore on his back, Ethan could barely move, and he still had to shield him. He was quickly overwhelmed.
Fists and boots came down on him. He clenched his teeth and took the blows, doing everything he could to protect Theodore, but a heavy punch smashed into his abdomen. The pain ripped a grunt from his throat, and he dropped to one knee.
Then a hard kick struck his back. Ethan and Theodore crashed to the floor together.
“Pfft-”
A metallic taste surged up Ethan’s throat. He spat out a mouthful of blood. He struggled to rise, but several hands pinned him down.
heodore hit the ground and spewed another mouthful of black blood. He was barely alive now, reduced to faint, shallow breaths.
Royce walked over and looked down at Ethan, who was coughing blood, and Theodore, who was hovering on the edge of death. There was no trace of family affection in his eyes, only cold calculation and a hint of satisfaction.
“Take Mr. Ethan to rest,” he ordered coolly. “Send Mr. Theodore back to his room. Clean this place up and lock down all information.”
Royce had dared to do this because he had already planned every step. He had cut off all of Ethan’s resources and brought the entire Menzies household under his control.
Guards stood watch inside Ethan’s room. He had no way to get a message out.
He tried several times to force his way out, only to be beaten back each time. After a few attempts, he was covered in injuries.
It wasn’t that Ethan was weak. He had power of his own. But he valued family too much. Even knowing his uncle and aunt had bad intentions, he still treated them as kin and never restricted them, allowing them free access to Menzie Estate. That was how they found their opening.
