My heart skipped a beat when I saw my mother weeping. It was safe to assume that Steven must have been gravely injured.

As I dragged my way over to the ward, I saw Steven lying on the bed. He was completely drenched in blood with a plaster cast applied to both his legs.

 

There was no way I could stand seeing him in such a state no matter how much I was irked by his actions. After all, at the end of the day, he was my only sibling.

I strode toward his bedside, staring at him, and noticing that he was bruised all over, especially his face. Although my parents hadn’t sustained any serious injury, they weren’t exactly fine.

What the heck is wrong with that brutal bunch? They didn’t pull their punches at all! How dare they beat Steven up to a pulp? Aren’t they afraid of being arrested?

 

“M-Mom…”

Overwhelmed by emotions, I was unable to finish my sentence.

Torrents of grief streamed down my cheeks. I approached my mother and looked at her with my face scrunched up in guilt.

 

Although it was Steven’s fault for getting himself involved, I felt bad as I wasn’t of much help. If only I was capable enough to turn the tables around, Steven wouldn’t have ended up heavily injured.

When she heard me, she stopped weeping and glared at me in the eyes. A few seconds later, she stood up and marched over in my direction.
