Burning Passion: Love Never Die

Baldwin took the ruler and sighed inwardly. He hadn’t hit Niles for more than ten years. He wondered whether his son could take it. Knowing

Niles was studying to be a doctor, Baldwin went for his butt first. If he injured his hand, Niles might not be able to hold the tools of his trade steadily enough.

He dragged Niles over and made him bend over a table. When his dad swung the ruler at his butt, Niles screamed, “Grandpa, Dad, I was wrong. I won’t do it again. Ow!” He was more than twenty years old. He hadn’t expected his grandpa to punish him like this. Luckily, they weren’t having any guests over that day. That would be humiliating.

Cecelia wandered in the street after leaving the house. ‘Niles isn’t a child anymore. Being hit like that, what if he gets depressed? A beating is pretty harsh.‘ She was so worried she even forgot that trying to help him would only make things worse. She pulled out her phone and called Wesley.

“Wesley, your grandpa is so ticked off. He’s even beating Niles. Help him!”

“Beating him?’ Wesley frowned. When Niles was little, he was very naughty and would cause a Lot of trouble. Keith would punish him with a spanking, and Niles would run around the house like he was running from the Grim Reaper. But after he started junior high, Niles always behaved and was never hit again. But why now? “What’s the matter? Why is
