"Damn it, how can you still be asleep? How did I end up with such a worthless piece of trash like you? Our family must be cursed to produce someone like you. I'll tear you apart!"
Under the influence of sedatives, Brad remained oblivious to Daniel's fury. He was still asleep when Daniel struck him with the pillow.
On the other hand, Jean was the first to awaken. Shaken by the sight of the enraged Daniel standing by the bed, she quickly pulled the covers around herself, huddled in the corner, and began to cry softly.
She wiped away nonexistent tears, feeling a sense of grim satisfaction. The whole Hamilton family knew about her and Brad's affair; surely, Nadine would never take Brad back now.
When Daniel struck Brad with the pillow a second time, Brad finally opened his eyes. Still dazed and disoriented, he propped himself up on the bed and looked at Daniel with irritation. "Dad, what on earth has made you so angry? What did I do to upset you?"
Last night, he had experienced severe chest pains. After taking medication, he fell asleep without realizing what had happened. Waking up to being hit left him indignant. "Dad, could you at least give me a proper reason before you hit me?"
Brad couldn't understand why Daniel was hitting him, even though he was now an adult.
Daniel's rage led him to act out of character, especially after seeing Brad and Jean in the same bed.
"Can't you see why I'm hitting you? If you were alone in bed, would I be doing this? You disgraceful wretch! How could our family produce someone like you!"
