At dawn the next day, when the gardener was about to trim the flowers and plants, he found Nicholas by the small gazebo. He contacted Lionel immediately and sent Nicholas to the hospital.
There was a lot of noise in the Morwick Mansion. Byron was a light sleeper, so he heard the noise.
But when Byron took Cora to the mourning hall in the morning, Lionel received them guiltily.
"Byron, I heard about what Nicholas did yesterday. I'm sorry. I'd like to apologize to you and Cora on his behalf."
"Last night, Nicholas suddenly entered our room in the dark, scaring Cora badly. So I punished him harshly. I am also sorry. How is he? Should Cora and I go see him?"
Although Byron said this to Lionel with a smile, Cora found that he didn't mean to apologize.
But Lionel's reaction made Cora confused.
Byron proposed to visit Nicholas in the hospital, but Lionel refused.
"No need. Nicholas is spoiled by his mom. I didn't expect that he would dare to seduce Cora. If I were you, I would kill him last night. Then he wouldn't embarrass us in the future."
"Don't say that. We are a family. No matter how ridiculous Nicholas is, I can't kill him, can I?"
"Alas. It's very kind of you, but others won't think so."
Byron changed the topic. "However, what happened yesterday scared Cora. So today we plan to stay in a nearby hotel and come back tomorrow for the funeral."
"Okay. You can come here early tomorrow."
Then Lionel went to greet other guests.
After Lionel walked away, Cora asked Byron in a low voice, "What's wrong with your uncle? I only dislocated your cousin's arms and feet yesterday, but it sounds like he is going to die."
After bowing to his aunt's body, Byron said, "He's not dead, but he's half-dead from now on."
After so many kicks last night, he estimated that Nicholas couldn't produce children anymore.
Moreover, Nicholas was left alone for a night. He couldn't recover.
"What?"
Cora didn't want to take the blame for it, so she hurriedly said, "I didn't beat him that badly. Don't blame me!"
