Powerful Words Chapter 10
In the blink of an eye, it was spring again.The magnolias in the university town bloomed, and my kebab shop's business was increasingly prosperous.I no longer had to live in fear, pretending to be a mute every day, nor did I have to pander to anyone.These days of earning money honestly and breathing freely made my withered heart bloom again.At lunchtime, the shop was packed with students. A sweating delivery guy rushed in to pick up an order, but accidentally slipped at the entrance, spilling half a cup of freshly made milk tea.The young man's eyes were red with anxiety, and he apologized profusely on the floor. "Sorry, boss, I'll pay for this order. Sigh, there goes the entire morning's earnings..."I walked over, helped him up, and handed him a freshly made kebab. "No need to pay. I was actually craving milk tea myself. Eat the kebab while it's hot. Don't worry, you'll definitely get a few big orders this afternoon to make up for your losses."The delivery guy stared at m

Six months later, I moved out of the old district and used the money I'd saved up to take over a small kebab shop near the university town.On opening day, I brought Mary over.After she spoke up for me, not only did she receive a good beating, the Shaw family also withheld three months of her salary and kicked her out.I hired her to work at the kebab shop. She earned a generous basic salary as well as a dividend every month.I didn't inquire about the Shaw family at all in the past six months, but some gossip still reached my ears.I heard life had become hell for them.After Jackie's amputation, the fungal infection in his leg wounds remained incurable. The blood-red blisters spread above his waist, bursting to release foul-smelling yellow pus.To treat him, the Shaw family hired experts both locally and abroad, and spent thousands every day importing specialized medicines for him.But more terrifying than his physical decay was Jackie's twisted psyche. Having lost his legs

A deathly silence fell over the lobby. Dad and Violet looked stunned, as if they had been slapped hard.Violet staggered back and bumped into a row of chairs."It can't be... He did it to himself?" she mumbled to herself.She recalled Jackie's pitiful cries outside the emergency room. He said he was testing their love for him, but who tests love by cutting themselves with a knife, then framing their brother and sending him to prison?It was no longer as simple as feeling insecure. He wanted Henry dead!Dad's hands trembled violently. He remembered how he had thrown a cup of scalding tea on me and how he had locked me in the freezing cold storeroom for three days.Yet, the real culprit was in their arms, basking in their affection.I ignored their mental collapse and walked straight out of the police station."Henry!"Dad suddenly came out of the door chasing after me, his voice filled with panic. "Henry, wait... I made a mistake. It's a misunderstanding."I stopped and turned

Violet's eyes turned bloodshot with rage, and she immediately pulled out her phone to call the police. "Hello, 911? I want to report a crime! Someone here intentionally caused grievous bodily harm. Yes, the culprit is currently in City Centre Hospital. Please arrest this murderer at once!"After hanging up, she moved to the corridor exit to block it and stared at me as if I were dead. Not only did Dad and Mom not stop her, they looked on with approval.Dad snorted coldly and said, "This menace should have been locked up ages ago! He brings us nothing but trouble!"Less than twenty minutes later, two police officers arrived at the emergency department.Violet immediately rushed up to them. She pointed at me and loudly accused me."Officers, that's the culprit! Because he was jealous of my brother, he not only attacked him with a knife in our storeroom but also used witchcraft to break his legs!"The police officers frowned. They looked at my slender frame, then back at Violet."W

Violet froze holding the lab report. Dad and Mom were also stunned, their eyes wide with shock.Just then, a nurse wheeled Jackie out of the emergency room, fresh from pre-op. He was conscious due to the intense pain and had clearly heard what the lab doctor said.Faced with undeniable evidence, a flicker of panic crossed Jackie's eyes, but he reacted instantly.Ignoring the searing pain in his legs, he lunged forward from the gurney and grabbed onto Mom's clothes, tears streaming down his face like a burst dam."Mom! I'm sorry... I lied... I'm not allergic to peanuts... I was simply too scared!"He cried his heart out, his voice trembling. "Ever since Henry came back, he's had all your attention. I'm not your real son, so I was scared you wouldn't want me anymore now that you had him... I had no choice but to pretend to be sick and take pills to fake an allergic reaction. I only wanted to see if you still cared about me..."He gripped Violet's wrist tightly, sobbing uncontrollab

"Not only do I want to poison you, I also want your legs to break at the hips, and your flesh to fester and ooze pus. I want you to be a cripple, bedridden for the rest of your life."Jackie's expression changed dramatically upon hearing that. "What kind of nonsense are you saying…"He was about to yell at me when suddenly, a crisp snap was heard.His legs bent backward at an extremely bizarre angle."AAH!!!"He let out an extremely tragic scream and crashed heavily to the floor.Almost instantly, blood-red blisters erupted all over his fair arms and neck.The blisters burst, oozing yellow pus."Jackie!" Mom collapsed in fear, screaming at the top of her lungs.Violet and Dad rushed over frantically.The hall was deadly silent, save for Jackie's pained, sorrowful wails.An ambulance soon arrived. Paramedics quickly lifted the pus-covered Jackie, whose legs were grotesquely twisted, onto a stretcher.With teary eyes, Violet ordered the bodyguards to grab me by the arms and d
