He Watched Me Shine Without Him novel Chapter 103

"Shut up," Houston growled.

Charlotte flinched, but she couldn't pass up such a perfect opportunity to provoke him. She mustered her courage and deliberately whispered, "Houston, you need to control your temper. If Rose finds out you have a temper like that, she'll be scared. What if she divorces you...?"

Houston stared at her, his eyes blazing with overwhelming hatred. He remembered his gentle and beautiful mother, who had been deceived by this woman's act of feigned weakness and sorrow.

My mother had never been able to bring herself to be ruthless with her, and in the end, it had led to her tragic demise.

This woman had always possessed a cunning and malicious heart. Now, with the passage of time, her malevolence had only deepened. She was trying to challenge the relationship between me and Rose, attempting to make Rose fear me and abandon me...

Houston kicked her viciously in the stomach. "Charlotte, go to hell," he spat.

Charlotte's body flew up as if weightless, like a butterfly, before crashing back to the ground.

She coughed up a mouthful of blood, her eyes wide with disbelief and terror. Despite her fear, she continued to taunt him in a barely audible voice, "Houston, I'm your mother. Your father will never forgive you for this."

Houston roared in fury, "If you don't want to die, shut up."

Charlotte looked at Rose with a dazed and desperate gaze, her eyes pleading, "Rose, don't blame Houston. Sometimes he just can't control his temper. He has a problem. Please be understanding..."

Her eyes gleamed with malice, hoping that her provocation would make Rose see Houston as a monster, someone to fear.

But Rose didn't show any fear. She saw Houston's hands trembling violently and his face turning as pale as paper. She stepped forward and embraced him, soothing him, "Houston, don't be angry. Please?"

Her gentle, healing voice gradually calmed Houston's trembling body. Once he had regained some composure, Rose gently reasoned with him, "Houston, if you don't like her, just stay away from her. Getting angry won't help; it only hurts you."

At that moment, Charlotte began coughing up more blood. Rose was frightened and quickly took out her phone to dial 911.

Houston fiercely commanded, "Don't call."

Rose looked at the cold and unyielding Houston, then at the helpless Charlotte, and stubbornly dialed 911 anyway.

"Houston, I'm a doctor. It's my duty to save lives and help the injured," she said firmly.

Houston looked at her, his eyes filled with a sense of helplessness.

Rose was so kind, kind to the point of being defenseless.

I trust, if I do anything against Ryan's wishes, he will make me pay dearly.

The father I had idolized should have stood up for me in front of his wife, but Noah clearly didn't care about his son's dignity. He hurled vicious insults at me, driving a wedge even further between father and son.
