Chapter 1215 - Xia Yehuas Marriage (10) (1/2)

“Your big brother was beaten till his life was just hanging by a thread. Literally. His back was almost flayed and, in that weather, it would have gotten easily infected. I knew he was using it as an excuse to take revenge. At the time, I’m sure he thought that all the better if the boy died from the beating. Later on, your brother was taken down and untied. I called the ambulance and wanted to send him to the hospital, but your father stopped me and only called the family physician. You know, I inadvertently overheard his conversation with the doctor.”

Shen Zihao had never known about these things. He widened his eyes and looked at Xia Yehua in disbelief.

Shen Liangchuan had almost died from being beaten by Dad?

In addition, Xia Yehua had said that she had overheard Dad and the doctor talking. What was that conversation about?

As he wondered this, Xia Yehua said, “At the time, the family physician said that your big brother’s injuries were too serious and that he needed to go to the hospital for treatment and observation. Otherwise, the wounds could have gotten infected and it would have threatened his life.”

Shen Zihao’s pupils shrank back at her words.

Xia Yehua continued, “I panicked when I heard that. I was going to dash up to your father and ask him to take your big brother to the hospital, but I heard him say…”

Even though this had happened many years ago, she could still hear his cold and cruel voice in her ears saying, “There’s no need to do that, just give it some basic treatment and it will be fine.”

The family physician started to sound anxious. “But Mr. Shen, this could cost the patient’s life!”

Shen Xiu was quiet for a moment before he said, “That’s exactly what I want—his life.”

Xia Yehua froze and was stupefied at once.

She looked at the two men before her in a daze and saw that the family physician was shocked too.

Shen Xiu had said, in part to convince himself, in part to explain to the man, “Urgh, that rebellious son, he only knows how to suck up to the Senior Master to the extent that he keeps comparing us. The Senior Master’s favorite phrase is: You can’t even hold a candle against a three-year-old kid! Tell me, if I were to destroy his precious grandchild, wouldn’t I then secure my position?”

Xia Yehua repeated every word that Shen Xiu had said.
