Chapter 632
Howard pondered for a moment before explaining, “She’s got some personal matters and needs to leave for a few days
Elliot’s heart sank abruptly, his fists clenched. “Personal matters? What personal matters could she have? Is she on her way to Nathaniel? She promised me not to go to him! She can’t go to him!”
His emotions escalated, and he seemed on the verge of losing control as he attempted to get out of bed. Due to his blindness, he missed his footing and was about to fall to the floor.
Howard hesitated, initially unsure whether to assist. However, he quickly considered the possibility of Sheena returning and finding Elliot injured due to his fall. In the nick of time, he reached out to steady Elliot.
“What’s your problem? I told you it’s just a few days. Stay put. She might be back sooner than you
think!”
“Let go!”
Although blind, Elliot’s reflexes were unaffected. He pushed forcefully, catching Howard off guard, and forcing him to step back.
“I took care of you for half the night, and this is how you repay me?”
“Nana! I must see Nana immediately!”
Blindly feeling his way, Elliot recklessly walked forward, tripping over a chair again.
“For heaven’s sake! What the hell is going on with you?”
Howard complained bitterly, but at the last moment, he caught Elliot before he hit the ground.
“Stop this nonsense! Look at yourself. You can’t even find the door. How are you going to find her?”
Elliot’s expression turned cold, his tone resolute. “I don’t need your help.”
Getting frustrated, Howard retorted, “You’re so ungrateful! Fine! Go! Let’s see how far you can get!”
It was winter, and Elliot walked barefoot on the icy floor, his feet turning red from the cold. However, he seemed oblivious to the chill, his expression determined, with only one thought in his mind.
He must find Sheena!
Howard watched as Elliot stumbled all over, feeling annoyed. However, he became sympathetic when he noticed Elliot’s reddened feet due to the cold.
Howard toughened his stance. “I can’t believe this! I refuse to believe I can’t handle a visually impaired patient!‘
Approaching Elliot, he grabbed his arm, attempting to pull him back.

In a swift reaction, Elliot counterattacked.
The two of them erupted into a sudden fight.
Howard was a skilled fighter, but he truly could not match Elliot this time. He consistently held back due to Elliot’s blindness, showing restraint in his actions.
Yet, Elliot was different.
Each strike carried a strong sense of anger. Moreover, he was naturally a bit more skilled than
Howard.
Howard quickly found himself at a disadvantage, with his right shoulder dislocated and excruciating pain shooting through him. He had no choice but to call in Noah.
Together, the two brothers managed to subdue Elliot, who had gone mad in his search for Sheena. While Elliot was unconscious, they quickly took advantage of the situation and tied his hands and feet, securing him to the bed.
Finally, there was a moment of peace.
Noah promptly attended to Howard’s injuries, resetting his dislocated shoulder.
Howard endured the pain, and with Noah’s skilled hands, Howard’s shoulder was quickly set back into its proper position. However, Howard’s shoulder was still swollen, requiring some pain–relief ointment and a couple of days of rest.
Noah was angry that Howard was being hurt for no reason. “I’ll wake him up and give him a beating.”
While taking care of Elliot was a priority, it did not mean they would let Elliot get away with bullying.
Howard, enduring the pain, stopped Noah, saying, “Let it go, Noah. There’s no need to argue with a sick person. Besides, I owed him a bit for what I did to him before.”
Back in Farlem, Howard took credit for Elliot’s heroic rescue of Sheena from jumping off Clear Crane Bridge. He even locked Elliot in the basement without food. Later, he found out that Elliot had a high. fever that day.
Deep down, Howard felt a lingering sense of guilt for that incident.
