Chapter 176
"If I don't teach you a lesson today, I'll never be able to forgive myself!" Then, with a stool in his hands,
Charles threw it at Ryder, who let out cries of agony until he had lost all energy to even make a grunt of
pain.
Joaquin didn't say a thing and merely watched silently until he deemed that Ryder had received just
punishment, saying calmly, "That's enough, Mr. Fanning. Send him to the hospital."
"I'm really sorry about what happened today, Colonel Levisay. I've raised a beast due to the lack of
discipline on my part. Don't worry. I'll teach him a lesson once we're home and never allow him to
cause any more trouble in the future." A thin layer of sweat appeared on Charles' forehead, and he only
dropped the stool in his hands after hearing Joaquin's words.
Ryder had run out of strength even to object, sprawled out on the floor and not knowing whether he
was dead or alive.
Meanwhile, after Charles said a few greetings to Joaquin, he carried Ryder and left in a hurry.
Ryder had received a severe beating this time, and he probably wouldn't be able to get out of bed for a
few good months.
Once Tiara saw that Ryder had been taken away, she opened her mouth timidly. "Joe, I—"
Yet, she had just started speaking when Joaquin shot her a sharp, warning look that frightened her so
much that she scrambled to hide behind Katherine.
"After Ryder had suffered so much, his family won't take this lying down. I'm currently suspended, and
both of you will be in danger if the Flynn Family comes to seek trouble on purpose. Tia, immediately
return to Grandpa's house and don't leave the house unless you must until this matter has blown over!"
Joaquin said sternly with a stoic face.
Tiara knew she was in the wrong, so she dared not say anymore and merely nodded earnestly to his
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtarrangement.
After a short moment of silence, Katherine cleared her throat and asked, "Ryder Flynn is useless now.
What's the background of the Flynn Family?"
Joaquin's face twitched upon hearing that. "What did you do?"
Not daring to look him in the face, she answered, "Nothing, really. I just thought that since he's not a
man, I'll remove some unnecessary parts so he can't harm others."
He was stunned by her bold proclamation as he jerked back to his senses after a few seconds. "You…"
Raising her chin, she answered sheepishly, "There's a method in medicine that can turn a person
impotent through a chemical reaction."
Joaquin almost passed out from anger. Both the Flynn and Fanning Family only had Ryder as their
grandson, and if he really became impotent, not only the Flynn Family but the Fanning Family would
blow a fuse.
Joaquin lifted his hand to massage his temple as he thought of the potential repercussions and couldn't
help thinking uncharitably that she had such a hidden streak to be enough of a troublemaker. Despite
that, when he recalled all the infuriating things Ryder had done, he felt that she didn't do anything
wrong, either.
"Leave this matter to me. Both of you should lay low in the coming weeks," Joaquin finally said in a
tired tone after a long while, staring at her.
Silently, she raised her head and looked up without a word.
After Charles brought Ryder out of Ascott Garden, he brought him straight to the nearest hospital.
He was covered in injuries, and his external injuries were severe. Charles knew how badly he had hit
him; to pacify Joaquin's fury, he didn't hold back at all earlier.
Besides seven broken ribs and the comminuted fracture in the left leg, Ryder also sustained many
external injuries, which made one shudder from the sight.
Moments after he arrived at the hospital, he was rushed into the surgery room by the hospital staff
straight away.
After Sally received the news, she rushed to the hospital as quickly as possible. As she focused her
gaze on Charles, standing outside the surgery room with a solemn face, she wailed, "Dad, who could
be so cruel and ruthless? Huh?"
"The cheeks of you to say this! Ask your son what he has done! Breaking his leg is the least I could
do!" Charles was filled with blood-boiling fury when he recalled that Ryder had almost offended
Joaquin.
After she received a harsh reprimand from Charles, she wiped away her tears, terrified to say more.
Meanwhile, Adam happened to be working on other stuff when he received the news, and by the time
he was finished and rushed over, Ryder was still in the surgery room.
Glancing at Sally with eyes swollen from crying, he then turned to Charles, who had a grim look on his
face. For a while, he couldn't tell what was happening, exactly.
The fact that Ryder was in trouble and hospitalized came as shocking news to both families, and less
than ten minutes after Adam's arrival, Rosie, his mother, arrived at the hospital, too.
While the butler was helping her, she trembled and asked Adam the second she saw him, "Adam, my
precious grandson is fine, isn't he? What happened, huh? How could someone beat him up? Who did
it? Did you get that guy already?"
"Mom, Ryder is probably going to be alright. Don't worry." Adam instinctively stole a glance at Charles.
"I'm the one who hit him," Charles answered emotionlessly with a cold face.
"What?" A stunned Rosie gawked at him in utter disbelief.
"Do you know who the one he offended was? He would have lost his life if I didn't give him this
beating!" Charles said in anger.
"Y-You're…" Rosie was incredibly anguished, but seeing Charles' grim face, she didn't have the guts to
argue with him.
Soon, the surgery room door opened, and the doctor walked out, looking exhausted.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe first to rush to him was Rosie. "Doctor, how's my grandson doing? Is he alright?"
"He has seven broken ribs, and he's fortunate that his lungs are not injured. Whether or not the
comminuted fracture in his right calf would affect his walking in the future would depend on his recovery
process after this. Besides this, he…" the doctor drifted off, embarrassed.
"What is it? What happened? Does he have other injuries?" Shocked by the doctor's words, Rosie had
lost all blood from her face.
Just the thought that her precious grandson had suffered such severe injuries was enough to make her
heart wrench terribly. If it weren't because the one who had beaten him was Charles, she would have
asked Adam to kill the one who had hurt Ryder.
After some hesitation, the doctor said truthfully, "The nerves in his spine are injured, and he may be
impotent in the future. Please be prepared for this."
With a pale face, Rosie staggered a couple of steps backward and almost lost her balance. Fortunately,
Adam caught her in time and prevented her from falling.
"W-What did you say? What did you say earlier? Can you please repeat?"
Rosie couldn't believe what she had just heard while Adam and Sally had dreary looks on their faces,
but Charles' face was even more gloomy like a storm was about to hit.
Although he felt stressed, the doctor still bit the bullet and said, "I'm sorry, but Mr. Ryder Flynn might
not be able to reproduce in the future."
Then, he avoided looking at the rest and shuffled away hurriedly with his head lowered.
This time, Rosie couldn't control it—her eyes rolled back, and she passed out. The situation suddenly
turned chaotic at the surgery room entrance.
After Ryder was wheeled out of the surgery room, he was transferred to a ward, and because the
effects of the anesthesia had yet to subside, he remained unconscious.
Meanwhile, Rosie was arranged to live in a ward next to him, and Sally sat next to Ryder's bed,
sobbing non-stop with her head lowered.
Adam couldn't handle her wails, so he berated impatiently, "Enough! Stop crying! We might as well
spend our time helping Ryder with his recovery!"
