Inside the room, Thomas could not help frowning as the stench of antiseptic struck him.
He strode over to Senior Howard's bed, sat down in the chair, and swept his cold glance across his father's pale face. "I can't believe you're still alive."
Senior Howard never thought this would be the first thing his son said to him after accidentally shooting him. He immediately flew into a rage. "You good-for-nothing son! You wanted to kill me after all, didn't you?!"
Thomas scoffed. "I never wanted to kill you, but your wife and son wanted me dead."
Thankfully, Tina's plan had not worked, and he did not end up sleeping with Denise at all. Otherwise, Yannie would surely be upset and refuse to be with him any longer.
If that happened, not only would Riley lose a mother, but he would lose the only woman he ever loved…
To him, this was even worse than death.
Senior Howard was so furious to hear this that he broke into fits of cough. "You bastard!"
Thomas rolled his eyes as he watched his father's face turn red from his coughing fit. Finally, he reached out to pat Senior Howard's back reluctantly. "Why are you so upset when it's not even the first time we disagreed on something?"
Senior Howard shot him a cold look out of the corner of his life but did not reply.
Finally, after he stopped coughing, Thomas drew his hand back and said, "When Joshua called me, he told me that you're fine and didn't suffer much injuries, so why are you coughing so hard now? Did the doctors make a mistake?"
Senior Howard rolled his eyes at him. "I wouldn't be coughing like this if you hadn't come to annoy me!"
With that, he closed his eyes and let out a sigh. "Your cousin and I had a long talk just now.
"He told me that the reason you had given all the evidence of your aunt's death and your uncle's involvement in this to him was that…you wanted him to help you take back your inheritance."
