Chapter 67 Chapter 67 Heartache
"No, Uncle Theo just amived not long ago. Maddy, handmy phone," Sierra quickly said, stopping Madison in
her tracks.
Madison handed Sierra the phone while glancing at Theo with a cheerful smile. "Mr. Gray, thank you so much for
helping Cee this time."
"It's what | should do." Theo's voice was cold and indifferent, devoid of any discernible emotion.
But Madison could clearly feel it he was not in a good mood. Was it because her sodden entrance had
interrupted something?
Sierra inserted the SIM card into her phone, powered it back on, opened her contact list, and handed the phone
to Theo, “Uncle Theo, could you please enter your number again?
Theo took her phone, saved his number, and then asked in a deep voice, “What happened over the past two
days?"

She froze momentarily and pressed her lips together in silence.
Madison couldn't contain her anger and spoke up indignantly, “It's all because Cee's family found out about her
breakup with Benson. Her father"
"Maddy."
“Sierra interrupted her, not wanting her to continue. She turned to Theo, saying, "It's just sprivate family
matters. | can handle it.”
Seeing that she didn't want to talk about it. Theo didn't press further. He simply said in a calm voice, “If you run
into something you can't resolve, letknow."
Sierra nodded.
Madison stood to the side, visibly andous. Sierra was always like this, used to bottling everything up inside and
dealing with it on her ownL
Madison didn't understand that she had her own sense of pride. While she could share these family troubles with
her, it didn't mean she wanted Theo to k know.
Yes, Theo had helped ber many times, but in the end, he was still a member of the Gray family. Even if he was
willing to help, she didn't want him to get into a conflict with her family because of her. She already owed him
too much, and she couldn't keep owing him favors, Otherwise, how could she ever repay him?

The door opened, and the doctor walked in holding a medical report, Upon seeing Theo in the room, the doctor's
demeanor becnoticeably more respectful.” Mr. Gray.”

Theo spoke in a calm hur authoritative tone, "What is it?”
“The results of Ms. Shaw's examination from yesterday are back. She has bruising on her abdomen, and the
severe impact has caused internal bleeding. Ms. Shaw, have you encountered any trouble? Do you need to file a
police report?"
Theo's expression had changed even before the doctor had finished speaking. His hands clenched into fists, and
veins bulged on the back of his hands.

“A severe impact?" Madison's face paled as she quickly looked at Sierra and asked, "Was it William who hit you?"
Sierra shook her head "No."
"Then, it must have been Xavier! That bastard actually dared to hit his own sister!" Madison cursed angrily, and
her eyes blazed with fury.
There were only three people in the Shaw family. Vera would never do something like this, so if it wasn't William,
then it had to be Xavier. Madison had met Xavier before-arrogant, rude, and completely disrespectful toward
Sierra. This was entirely within his character. Sierra's face paled even more...
“We have to call the police! He needs to be arrested and taught a proper lesson!” Madison shouted in anger.
Sierra tugged at her sleeve and said, “I was the one who started it. | slapped him twice. He only lickedonce.
It's not like | got the worst of it."
"Not the worst of it? You're so thin and frail-bow much strength could you possibly have? Xavier is built like an
ox! Do you know how much force it takes to kick someone hard enough to cause internal bleeding?”
