Chapter 67 Chapter 67: Though she saw the injuries on Doris's face, she couldn't understand where they had cfrom.

Yet she was sure of one thing-Jeffrey was not capable of such violence. The idea was absolutely ridiculous. Jeffrey had always been exceedingly timid.

Strangers frightened him; he rarely managed to speak a word around them. Throughout his tin hospital care, it had taken him weeks to even start speaking with the medical staff.

Could he even bring himself to hurt anyone? Impossible. He wouldn't even hurt the smallest creature, be it an ant. How could anyone imagine him harming Doris? Rachel was adamant—such a thing was unthinkable.

"Jeffrey, speak up!" Brian suddenly directed his focus toward Jeffrey.

At the sound of his name, Jeffrey cowered even more, retreating behind Rachel, too scared to even peek out. "Brian, Jeffrey's condition is well known to you. If you have any questions, cto me," said Rachel, cutting in. "You suggest I ask you?" Brian's gaze was piercing as he looked at her. “You weren't even present. How can you claim to know more than Jeffrey? We've already heard from Doris. Now, it's his turn." Brian's voice carried a commanding tone that brooked no argument. "Jeffrey, we need to hear from you!" Jeffrey shook his head fiercely, clearly terrified.

Yet Brian was unyielding.

"Jeffrey, only by speaking can we uncover the truth." His insistence backed Jeffrey further into a corner. ☐☐tst chapters in gol.c☐☐ "That's enough!" Overwhelmed, Rachel finally erupted.

"Rachel," said Brian, massaging his temples and softening his voice. "You might shield him today, but how long can you protect him? He has hurt Doris today. What happens when he offends someone else? Are you ready to deal with those repercussions? If he has erred, he needs to own up to it and accept the consequences." The weight of Brian's words was undeniable, each one hammering down on her.

Rachel paused, wondering if she had misunderstood. Yet it was clear; his words had been unmistakable. "Consequences?" A cold laugh escaped Rachel as her gaze fixed on him, sharp and unforgiving. "What exactly do you mean by consequences? Should Doris retaliate physically? Or perhaps you envision your attorney arranging for his imprisonment? Brian, let's be honest. You've already sided with Doris by forcing Jeffrey to testify, effectively judging my brother beforehand. If that's the case, his words are pointless." Could Jeffrey's revelation alter Brian's perspective?

"Kwith Unlikely. His allegiance lay firmly with Doris. The content is on Enrovelentixon. Co novelenglish.net!

"Rachel!" exclaimed Brian, advancing and seizing her wrist. "You're upset, e but please, hearout!" "I'm not interested in listening."

Despite her anger, Brian attempted to soothe her, drawing her close. "Just take a moment. I understand your trust in Jeffrey. However, you must see that his illness could cause erratic behavior. Should it turn out to be an unintentional act, one beyond his control, I'm confident both Doris and I would absolve him. I assure you, after today, we'll visit the hospital together to evaluate his mental state."
