“Then, let him feel immense pain." Theo, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke. His voice dropped to an
icy tone, every word carved out of frost, sending achill downeveryone's spine.
“Do you want his hand or his leg broken? He kicked you with his foot-how about we break his foot?” His tone was
casual, but the words sent shivers down
everyone's spines.
Sierra's lips trembled slightly. She looked at his cold, blade-sharp gaze and realized he wasn't just speaking
casually. If she nodded, he would likely carry it out
without hesitation
Her emotions were complicated-anodd warmth spread through her chest. It felt as if someone was finally

She pressed her lips together and said softly, “Uncle Theo, thank you, but this is my personal matter. | don't
want to trouble you. I'll handle it myself."
"How do you plan to handle it?" Theo's thin lips parted slightly, and his voice was low and icy.
She froze, lowering her gaze without saying anything
"Since you haven't figured it out, I'll handle it for you." His cold voice rang out again as he stood up. His gaze
carried a faint, dangerous edge.
She quickly grabbed his hand with a trace of panic. “Uncle Theo, Xavier is my brother. My mom treasures him
like a gem. If something happens to him, my mom won't be able to take it. Even if she didn't care about Xavier,
she had to consider Vera's feelings.
Moreover, she didn't want him to break the law for her sake
Theo lowered his gaze to look at her. Herpale, delicate face revealed a clear nervousness that tugged at his
heartstrings. He thought she was too kind-hearted. “Uncle Theo, thank you for offering to help me, but this is my
personal matter. Please lethandle it myself,” she said softly, malding it clear she didn't want him to
intervene.
He pressed his thin lips tightly together, and a trace of displeasure flickered in his dark eyes. "Are you that
determined to draw a line between us?" he asked, his low voice carrying a subtle sense of grievance.
Sierra's eyelashes fluttered. She released his hand, whispering, "You've already helpedso much on account

Sierra watched his retreating figure, and her face grew even paler.
Sensing the tension, the doctor excused himself and left the room.
Madison frowned, saying, “Cee, Mr. Gray was only trying to help because he cares about you. Why did you turn

sighed. "Cee, you're way too stubbom. Even | could tell that you were deliberately creating distance between

"He's been so sincere in helping you, and you poured cold water all over it. If it were me, I'd be upset too. Sierra
