Chapter 1236

After a series of inspections and examinations, the doctor concluded that Sam’s grandmother had indeed injured her tailbone and needed at least a week of bed rest. Because the Lady was in extreme pain, the doctor gave her a numbing injection and a painkiller injection. Sam followed his mother to his grandmother’s ward, embarrassed. As soon as he entered the ward, his father Heath quickly walked up and slapped him across the face with all his force, and chided loudly, “You hopeless bastard! You’re beyond redemption! Luckily your grandmother hasn’t injured herself badly, or I’d fucking kill you otherwise!”The last time that his father punished him was when he was a young child. His father’s abrupt slap made him dumbfounded and aggrieved. His grandmother was a little heartbroken to see his grandson being slapped, so she said, “Heath, that’s enough. Sam is still young, it’s normal for the youngsters to behave like this although it isn’t glorious.” Lord Kilgore was not as magnanimous as his wife. He glared at Sam and said coldly, “He isn’t that young anymore, he’s an adult now. How can I expect anything from him if he can’t even control his own lust?” Sam was shaking in fear when he heard his grandfather’s scornful remarks. He was not afraid of his father’s physical punishment, but he was genuinely afraid of his grandfather’s rejection and denial of himself. If his grandfather bore a bad impression of him, it would greatly affect his future status in the family. When Heath heard his father’s remark, it infuriated him even more. He raised his hand and slapped Sam again and again, screaming, “Argh, you bastard, if I catch you doing such horrible things again, I’ll break your leg!” Sam covered both faces in pain and cried timidly, “I’m sorry, Grandpa, Dad, I’m sorry! I’ll never repeat the same mistake again!” Lord Kilgore snorted coldly, “I’m not like your grandmother, she spoils all of you rotten. I have my own principle and I live by it religiously. If you dare to do it again, I’ll kick you out of Eastcliff and you’ll never be allowed to come back!” Sam nodded profusely and said, “Don’t worry, Grandpa, I’ll never do it again, I promise.”

The grimace on Lord Kilgore’s face eased slightly upon his apology. Lady Kilgore uttered with a sigh, “That’s enough, he’s already learned his lesson. Stop slapping and scolding him, he has surgery coming up!” Hearing his grandmother defending him, Sam walked to her bed and squatted down, tears drenching his cheeks. He took his grandmother’s hands and said, “Grandma, I’m so sorry, it’s all my fault…” Lady Kilgore reached out to wipe away his tears and said in a gentle voice, “A fault confessed is half redressed, I don’t blame you.” At this moment, the gastroenterologist entered the ward and said, “Master, the operating theater is ready for the young master.” Heath nodded and said to Sam, “It’s just a minor surgery, don’t worry, go with the doctor. I want to keep your grandma company here.” Sam quickly nodded. Lady Kilgore hurriedly urged, “Lydia, I don’t need you here, go with them.” Lydia was worried about letting her son undergo the surgery alone as well, so she hurriedly said, “Okay, Mother, I’ll go with him.” After Sam and Lydia left with the doctor, Heath turned to his father and said with a look of shame, “Father, I am so sorry, I’ve failed in his upbringing…” Lord Kilgore waved with an indifferent expression and said, “Sam is almost 28 years old, it’s time for him to settle down. Boys will never grow up if they don’t get married. Hurry up and find him a suitable match!” Heath quickly said, “Father, to be honest, Lydia and I have already found a suitable spouse for him. She’s the young miss of the Moore family in Aurous Hills. The girl isn’t only beautiful, charming, and knowledgeable but also very capable in her work. What I have in mind is that after the corporate wedding with the Moore family, we’ll make them the number one family in the South Region, which means our influence can be extended to that part of the country.” Lord Kilgore nodded. “It’s a good idea to bypass the treacherous Eastcliff and go to the South Region for development. Hurry then!”
