Yvonne scolded sharply, "What are you doing? Haven't you caused us enough harm already?"

Her words froze Joe in place. He stared at her, stunned, as if he couldn't process what she had said.

Nigel, adding fuel to the fire, pretended to wince in pain. "Ow, it hurts, like a needle stabbing me. Yvonne, can you check if something's wrong with my legs?"

Joe immediately pulled the blanket over Nigel's legs and scoffed, "Nigel, let me call a doctor. Yvonne doesn't know about these things."

"None of your business," Yvonne snapped, not giving Joe any kindness. She stood up and began to carefully examine Nigel's legs, as if handling something precious.

Watching her tender care, Joe felt a crushing pain inside, like his heart was being twisted apart. His anger turned to Nigel, who was looking at him smugly, clearly enjoying the moment. Joe clenched his fists but knew he couldn't lose control. If he did, he would only make Yvonne hate him more.

After a long pause, he managed to calm himself and spoke with a forced smile. "Yvonne, I need to talk to you. Come with me."
