In fact, everyone could see that the butler had used great power to whip Sophie, and it was done in such a quick manner. It has to be shown by someone else.
Chase's words made the butler stop the action.
After a while, he took the whip obediently. "I'm listening to Senior Moore."
Lucy rolled her eyes. "We apply corporal punishment to people who do not adhere to the ethics that women must adhere to. When is it the turn of someone who has no parents and upbringing to step forward and make irresponsible comments? "
Chase always said nothing during this kind of event in the Moore family, but he suddenly spoke today. It's natural that Lucy's upset.
"You're beating my wife. Obviously, I need to talk. "
Chase spoke, and his voice was still light.
Sophie could hear that it was indeed as Chase had said. In this family, he had no status and dignity, so much so that no one took his words seriously.
"You've married such a horrible woman! You even asked for the moon now! "
Lucy grunts. He then turned his gaze and looked at Senior Moore. "Dad, I don't think Sophie will remember it if we don't beat her."
"However, since he's the son-in-law of our Moore family, we can't cross the line either. As long as he's willing to admit his mistake, we won't beat him up. Is that okay? "
On the surface, Lucy gives Sophie a way out. But in truth, she knew very well that Sophie would not admit her mistake given her rigid characteristics.
Only then did Senior Moore lower his head and look at Sophie. "Do you admit that you're wrong?"
"It's not me." Sophie straightened her back. "I did nothing wrong in this incident. Why should I admit... "
Senior Moore waved his hand in frustration.
Hit it!
The butler whipped him again.
"Do you admit your mistake now?"
"I'm not wrong!"
Hit it!
"Are you still unwilling to admit your mistake?"
"I don't admit it!"
Hit it!
The butler used great power and whipped him strongly.
Sophie, who was kneeling on the prayer mat, was in so much pain that she could barely straighten her back. Still, he gritted his teeth and prepared to accept the punishment.
However, it was beyond his expectations when there was the sound of a whip, but it did not hit him for a long time.
"Pursue!"
Suddenly, he heard Senior Moore's puzzled cry from behind him.
Sophie turned around. Only then did he realize that Chase had gotten out of the wheelchair at some point, and he had thrown himself onto his back, firmly blocking the blow for him.
His white shirt was covered in blood, and his handsome face became even paler.
"Who asked you to beat him?!" Sophie clenched both her fists, roaring at the butler.
"Are you blind?! That's not me! How can you still continue? Don't you know that his body is not healthy?! "
It was entirely beyond the butler's expectations that Chase would rush to block the blow for Sophie. He didn't even expect to see Sophie roaring at him like that for Chase's sake.
He clearly did not say anything when he suffered the tremendous pain from the previous lash.
Chase had only been whipped once but he was already roaring loudly at him.
"I'm fine." Chase looked at Sophie weakly. "I'm just. I'm a little dizzy."
"Send him to the hospital!" Seeing that his grandson had been whipped, Senior Moore finally became anxious. He gave the order firmly while glaring at the butler. "Go and accept the punishment yourself!"
The butler in charge of the scourging could only resign himself to his bad luck, lay down the whip, and retreat.
Before long, the servants from the old residence came to send Chase to the hospital.
"Don't touch her!" Sophie stopped the servants beside her. She supports Chase alone and helps him sit in a wheelchair again. "He's my husband. I'll take care of him! "
After saying that, he pushed Chase in his wheelchair and stepped out of the ancestral hall.
"See this mess."
Although Chase is the least liked person in the Moore family, he remains one of them. Lucy knows that more than anyone.
He smiled a little awkwardly. "I didn't expect Chase to be so infatuated with Sophie. He completely blocked the whip for her... "
"That's enough. Don't shed crocodile tears here. "
Senior Moore rolled her eyes at Lucy. "I've given Sophie a lesson. That was the end of this incident. No one is allowed to mention it from now on! "
After saying that, he instead looked at Vernon coldly. "Why did you go to Sophie University for no reason?"
Vernon, who had enjoyed the misfortune of others all along, certainly did not know how to answer that question when he was suddenly asked by Senior Moore. "I... L'm.. "
"Don't assume that I'm not aware of the tricks you have in mind. Do you think that you are so innocent in an affair today? "
Vernon.
"Don't do this little trick secretly in the future. Otherwise, I won't give you a penny of my treasure! "
In the hospital.
It was only when Sophie saw the nurse put the medicine to Chase that she let out a long sigh of relief. "He won't feel any pain now, will he?"
The nurse nodded. "The pain-relieving effect of this drug is excellent."
Another nurse tilted her head and looked at Sophie's back. "Madam, why don't I help to take care of your injuries as well?"
Obviously, her injuries were much more serious than her husband's.
When the nurse said that, Sophie felt the pain.
His back was burning.
She lay on the bed, and the nurse split her clothes carefully. Then, he carefully disinfected the flipped skin and flesh as he treated the wound. It was so painful that Sophie was filled with cold sweat, and finally, she could not bear the pain and fainted.
Sitting on the hospital bed beside her, Chase looked at Sophie. A burst of heartache flashed across his heart.
"How long will the wound heal?"
"At least a week. Your wife looks very gentle, but unexpectedly, she can survive like this. Ordinary women would long faint from the pain when they sustained injuries like this, but she could actually last for so long. "
Chase sighed lightly. "Totally so."
She's a strange woman.
His grandfather's attitude was actually very clear. If he admitted the mistake and begged for mercy, the incident would just end.
However, he was willing to suffer such physical pain instead of admitting fault and begging for mercy.
As a person who had been pretending to be ill for over ten years, Chase was unable to grasp such perseverance in Sophie.
However, he did amaze her.
After applying the medicine and making sure that nothing else was done, Chase ordered James to go and handle the inpatient procedure.
Sophie's back was hurt like that. He did not want to make her suffer more and forced her to go home.
"I'm not wrong."
He still had not woken up in the ward at night, but in his dream, he was still shouting stubbornly like what he had done before, declaring that he was innocent.
His heart ached seeing him that way.
Chase thought for a moment before he got out of bed and crawled into his bed. He then carefully hugged her. "You're not wrong."
"Just your husband hasn't been able to reveal himself. '
Hugging the woman in his arms, he closed his eyes in silence.
After her older sister died in the fire when she was thirteen, she told herself she had to pretend to be very weak. Only then could he build up his strength to avenge his parents when he grew up.
Therefore, he had always placed the role of indifference and weakness in a very good way during these years.
He had lived in seclusion for a long time. That day, the first time he didn't want to keep doing it again. When she sees Sophie being whipped, she has the urge to not want to keep holding her back and pretending again.
"I don't admit..." The woman in his arms trembled slightly.
"You don't have to admit it." Taking a deep breath, Chase lowered his head and inhaled the pleasant scent of his hair. "I won't let you wait very long. In the future, I want everyone who oppresses you today to kneel before you one by one and apologize to you. "
