He Gave Me Hearing, Then Taught Me What Silence Really Means novel Chapter 187

Nelson didn't waste a single breath on words. He grabbed a heavy chair from the floor and smashed it ruthlessly across Corbin's back.

Corbin coughed up blood on impact, collapsing to the floor, completely incapable of getting up.

Nelson lifted his heavy boot and kicked him repeatedly in the head. Again and again.

Corbin didn't even have a chance to beg for mercy. His vision violently blurred into total darkness.

Quinn Fletcher rushed in from the hallway and quickly intercepted him. "Boss, let me handle the rest. You can't keep doing this."

Nelson's face was completely devoid of emotion, staring at Corbin as if looking at a corpse.

The floor was slick with the blood Corbin had hacked up.

"Boss, I'll clean this up. I promise."

Strangely, Nelson's raging pulse began to slow. He was entirely calm, but his face was ashen. A sharp, piercing pain ripped through his chest like a needle.

Lydia finally arrived, panting heavily. Seeing Corbin lying in a massive pool of his own blood, she stumbled backward in horror. She forced herself to stand tall, her fists clenched so tightly her palms grew slick with sweat.

Nelson turned and issued a freezing command to Quinn. "Make sure he never stands again."

"Understood."

Nelson walked out, heading straight to check on Josie.

Josie was being kept in a building not far away, heavily guarded by several security personnel. A bright red slap mark marred her delicate cheek, making her look incredibly pitiful.

She had been sitting in the corner sobbing continuously, her eyes puffy and red. The moment Nelson walked in, she threw herself into his arms.

"Daddy!"

Nelson wrapped his arms around the little girl, gently stroking her back. He shot a sharp look at the bodyguard. "Did you find out who took her?"

Nelson sat faithfully by her bed, using a tissue to wipe the sweat from her feverish forehead.

Quinn stepped quietly into the room, hesitating for a moment before speaking. "That restaurant is owned by The Xavier Social Club. There's no way to delete their internal security footage. The Xavier family is definitely going to find out what happened."

Yvonne had just convinced Nelson to bury the hatchet with Corbin, and the very next hour, Corbin was beaten into a permanent cripple. Mrs. Xavier was guaranteed to come crying to Yvonne again.

But Nelson didn't care about any of that anymore. He sat silently beside Josie's bed, but his mind was miles away.

That evening.

Yvonne stormed into the house, radiating fury. Her chronic headaches were flaring up with a vengeance.

"Nelson! Did you do this to Corbin? Are you out of your mind? Didn't I explicitly tell you to let him go?"

She and Mrs. Xavier were close friends and distant relatives. Now, Nelson had utterly destroyed Corbin, permanently shattering his legs. The man would never walk again.
