"Did you drink?"

As Alexander Shaw approached Benjamin Shaw, he suddenly smelled the alcohol on Benjamin’s body. His first reaction was that Benjamin got into trouble because he’d been drinking. "Can’t you drink a little less? Making yourself look like this is a joke for everyone." 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Not knowing what had happened, he assumed Benjamin caused trouble at the Turner Family’s house after drinking, accidentally fell, and got injured, ending up in the hospital.

Isla Lane cast a dissatisfied glance at her husband and pushed him aside at the same time, "He’s injured and hospitalized, yet you’re still saying these things to him? Can’t you choose your timing? Move over!"

After pushing aside her annoying husband, she began to examine her son lying in the hospital bed.

"I sincerely apologize to both of you. It’s because my daughter was too rough, that’s why Benjamin ended up like this." Seeing the Shaw couple bickering over Benjamin’s injury, Christopher Turner quickly apologized to them.

Upon hearing Christopher Turner’s words, Alexander Shaw and Isla Lane simultaneously looked his way, a confused expression appearing on both their faces.

"What’s going on? Did this kid get physical with Alice?" Alexander could only think that Benjamin went to confront Alice Turner, and in the midst of arguing, they got physical, resulting in his son being injured by their daughter.

No matter if there was an injury leading to hospitalization, he believed a man should not lay hands on a woman. No matter how strong a woman is, she’s still a woman, surely at a disadvantage when compared to a man in terms of strength and physique.

Christopher Turner hadn’t yet had a chance to speak when Benjamin Shaw, lying on the hospital bed, had already begun talking: "Am I really so bad in your eyes?"

Getting physical and hitting a woman — is he really that bad? Even his own father thinks so, let alone anyone else.

"Benjamin didn’t hit Alice; it was Alice who pushed Benjamin. Benjamin couldn’t keep his balance and fell to the ground." Christopher Turner once again spoke up before Alexander Shaw and explained, fearing the Shaw couple would start arguing again, now with Benjamin.

When they argue, it’s always connected to Alice Turner. As a father, he ought to stop the arguing from happening.

Alexander Shaw really thought Benjamin and Alice Turner fought physically just now. Hearing Christopher’s explanation, he realized he misunderstood.

But he was even more puzzled. He didn’t understand why Alice would push Benjamin or why Benjamin showed up at the Turner Family’s house.

Could his son have been drinking out of sadness over their divorce? And after drinking, went to find Alice Turner for a squabble, which led to the disagreement?

Because of just occurring misunderstandings, Alexander dared not voice his assumptions casually. If he guessed wrong again, his son would dispute him to death.

This time he didn’t ask, but Isla Lane, standing by the bed, started questioning, "Why did Alice push Benjamin? Even if she doesn’t like him, she shouldn’t use dirty tricks on him, right?"

Learning her son was injured by Alice Turner like this, Isla Lane suddenly harbored some resentment. Because of the resentment, her tone unconsciously turned bad as she spoke.

"Our Alice wasn’t intentional. If your son hadn’t gone to our place to hassle her, would she have pushed him unprovoked?" Sophia Wood came in to see what was happening, just in time to hear Isla Lane talking about Alice Turner using dirty tricks on Benjamin Shaw.

Initially, she felt guilty about Benjamin’s injury, but hearing Isla speak like that, she couldn’t hold back and retorted.
