Chapter 612: 612: Domineering

Edward Marshall’s eyes flickered with a nearly imperceptible tremor, and he looked surprised. “Brother, I’m Edward, your younger brother! During the days you were moved to the general ward, I came to see you, but you were asleep by then.”

The old man tilted his head slightly like a child, thinking for a moment, but still shook his head.

The old man’s expression was innocently distant, emanating a sense of unfamiliarity, “I don’t know you, what do you want?”

“Brother, I came to see you, I’m your little brother. What could I possibly do? Of course, I hope you recover soon.”

The old man remained silent, seemed frightened. He clutched his quilt tightly, fear reflected in his eyes.

Edward Marshall stared intently at his brother, his sharp gaze not wavering for an instant, he asked in a softened voice, “Brother, do you not remember me? What exactly happened to you?”

The old man didn’t answer, he hid straight inside the blanket.

Seeing this, Aria Douglas stopped Edward from coming too close to the old man, “Mr. James Marshall, you should leave now. The old man’s mental state isn’t good, his recovery isn’t as good as expected. The doctor said, it could be selective amnesia or intermittent amnesia, we need to keep observing him for a more precise diagnosis.”

“Is it that serious? Does my brother act timid towards everyone?”

Aria Douglas shook her head, “I’m not certain, I just started taking care of the old man.”

In that instant, Edward Marshall’s face turned icy, his eyes flashed dangerously, he glared at Aria, “So, what makes you think you have the right to speak here, who do you think you are! My brother is in the hospital, it’s right for me, his kin, to look after him. You have no right to send me away.”

Facing his aggressive demeanor, Aria Douglas didn’t back down at all, “Mr. James Marshall, please leave! If you agitate the old man and his condition worsens, you won’t be able to bear that responsibility. Chief Daniel Marshall ordered me to take care of the old man, I must fulfill this responsibility and ensure his peaceful rest, please understand!”

Edward Marshall shot Aria Douglas a frigid glance. Then, he tried to pull his brother’s blanket down.

Immediately, Aria grabbed Edward’s hand with a firm grip, warning him with her determined gaze as they locked eyes, “Please don’t make things difficult for me. Or else, you won’t be able to face the consequences.”

Edward, consumed by anger, totally disregarded Aria’s words and warning, “You little wretch, get lost!”

Suddenly, Aria kicked a chair towards Edward with lightning speed, pulled him away, and made him sit on the chair.

With another kick, Edward and the chair slid all the way to the doorway.

Edward’s face revealed surprise and turned a bit pale, “So you are capable of self-defense. Daniel has been too excessive, this is virtually imprisonment, he is truly despicable! No wonder my brother’s injuries were so severe, It was all forced out by Daniel, how wicked!”

“I think, Mr. James Marshall, you intentionally agitate my grandfather, intending to make my grandfather’s condition worse, not allowing him to recover. Otherwise, why would you insist on staying here, or perhaps, you’re hoping for my grandfather’s help to save your son. Whatever your motivation may be, I suggest you give up as soon as possible; you don’t need to make yourself look so desperate.”

Daniel effused a cold and intimidating aura, his eyes as though serene ice pools that could swallow one up in an instant.

He towered over Edward, bearing closer.

“Daniel, you’re slandering me!” Angered and frustrated, Edward pointed at Daniel.

“Is not Mr. James Marshall’s behavior slanderous? You are allowed to malign others, but others can’t say a word against you? You’re too hypocritical!”
