Chapter 183 - Its her fault for ignoring me (2/2)
”It was, but she is getting better.”
Sam didn't say anything for a while. Edward wanted to end the call, when Sam asked, ”It seems you two mended your relationship?”
”Yes.”
After some silence, Sam spoke again. ”OK... I see you have other plans for tonight let me not hold you back any more.”
Edward ended the call and headed back to Sarah's room.
...
In a villa in suburbs of Seattle, Sam Peterson was in the study room with a grim expression, ordering a servant. ”Go and get my son.”
Shortly after, a tall young man entered. ”Why did you call for me?”
”Did you do it?” Sam was doing his best to control his temper.
”Do what?” Youth seemed that he does not understand the question. He stepped forward, and the table lamp lit up his face. It's Ed, young man who has a several years long unrequited interest in his neighbor Sarah.
”Don't play word games with me. The youngest Hill daughter is in the hospital. I told you that she is going to be there for a checkup on Monday morning. Did you do it?” Sam's face darkened.
”Is she awake?” Ed looked surprised and relieved at the same time.
”So, it was you...” Sam's fury could be seen on his face. ”You ungrateful spawn! Do you know what you did? You are jeopardizing years of careful planning and execution... for a woman!!? How many times I told you to leave her alone?” Sam walked towards Ed.
Ed started innocently explaining. ”It's her fault for ignoring me. I could not stand...”
PAK!
A hard slap landed on Ed's face. He felt his face burning and painfully pulsate where his father's hand landed.
”Do you really think that I will let you destroy all of this?” Sam spread his arms, like he is gesturing at everything around him. He angrily pointed his index finger towards his son. ”Do you think that this is about you getting a woman? You can't listen because your crotch is itchy?”
Ed was holding his face, and he looked like he is being wronged. ”Father, you don't understand... when I saw them in the mall, I could not hold myself back.”
”What mall?!!” Sam roared.
Ed shrunk a bit and answered in a quiet voice. ”I followed them from the hospital...”
PAK!
Another heavy slap landed on Ed's unguarded side of his face. He lost his balance and ended up on his knees.
”Get out of my sight!” Sam turned toward his desk and stopped. ”You are not to leave house unless I approve. And don't you dare make any contact with the Hills!”
His voice became lower and more threatening. ”It took me years to get that old man to trust me, and you are about to spoil it all.”
Sam turned toward his son and saw that the youth didn't move from his original spot. Sam shouted. ”What are you waiting for? Get out!”
Ed scrambled outside office, closing the door behind him.
