Chapter 64

Honora’s breath hitched sharply as her gaze locked onto his injured leg. “Finley, what happened to your right leg?” she asked, voice trembling with shock.

Leopold followed her line of sight and finally noticed the injury. His eyes grew wide, a mix of disbelief and confusion spreading across his face.

A surge of panic rushed through him. He hurried to Finley’s side, gripping his brother’s shoulders with urgency. “Finley, what’s wrong with your leg? Tell me!”

Finley tried to shrug him off, forcing a calm exterior, but Leopold’s grip remained firm, his demand for an explanation unwavering.

Frustration boiled over inside Finley. With a sharp shove, he pushed Leopold’s hands away violently.

“Enough!” he barked, voice rough with anger. “Just stop it!”

Leopold stumbled back, stunned by the sudden outburst. He blinked, struggling to comprehend the fierce anger radiating from his brother.

“I was only worried about you…” Leopold said softly, hurt lacing his words.

“I don’t need your worry!” Finley snapped back, turning sharply and limping away. Each step was labored, his leg trembling beneath him as if it barely bore his weight.

Leopold watched him retreat, completely at a loss for what to do next.

Honora’s eyes followed Finley’s limping figure, her face etched with concern, tears welling up and threatening to spill.

“His leg…” she whispered, her voice shaky. “Do you think Larissa did this? Is she trying to scare him into silence, so he won’t reveal the truth?”

Leopold’s expression darkened, a cold fury igniting deep within him. His jaw clenched tightly, fists curling into fists, a vein throbbing at his temple.

“It has to be,” he growled through gritted teeth. “I went to see him earlier. I told him how Larissa has been harassing you. He must have confronted her, and she… she did this. That cruel woman. How dare she lay a hand on Finley!”

Honora swallowed hard, fighting back a sob. “What do we do now? What if his leg is actually broken? How will he manage?”

Leopold forced himself to temper his rage for Honora’s sake.

“She wouldn’t go that far,” he said, trying to sound reassuring despite the storm inside. “Even Larissa isn’t reckless enough to break his leg. It’s probably just a bad sprain or something temporary. But I swear, I will find out what happened. If she’s behind this, Mom, Dad, and I will make sure she pays.”

From the living room, Vivica’s voice called out, gentle but concerned. “Finley, is that you?”

She had spotted someone entering and, upon closer look, recognized her eldest son limping into the room. Her brow furrowed deeply with worry.

“What happened to your leg?” she asked, rising from the sofa.

“I fell. Broke it,” Finley mumbled, his face pale and strained.

Vivica’s expression shifted instantly to alarm. “You broke it? Just from a fall? Let me see…”

She hurried toward him, but Finley raised a hand to stop her, his tone sharp and impatient.

“Don’t!” he snapped, voice harsh and defensive. “There’s nothing to see.”

Vivica recoiled slightly, startled by his sudden harshness. Hurt flickered in her eyes, and she fell silent, unsure how to respond.

Realizing he had been too harsh, Finley took a slow, steadying breath to calm the turmoil inside. It wasn’t right to speak to his mother that way.

“Mom,” he said more gently, “please have the Judson family doctor come over right away.”
