Days had passed since the chaos within the Song estate. Song Yue had been discovered locked inside his study, both legs bloodied from gunshot wounds inflicted by his own son. Fortunately, he was found in time and rushed to the Song family's private hospital. Though he survived, he would never walk again.
It had been Kai's intention to torture Song Ren to death, to make him suffer slowly and cruelly before finally ending his life. But Song Yue, despite his pain, despite the betrayal, had pleaded for his son's life. He said he couldn't bear to lose another child.
Kai listened.
He spared Song Ren's life, but not without ensuring Song Ren's legs were shattered, his arms severed. What remained of him was a breathing husk. He was crippled, humiliated, and locked away, far from sight. As for Yoo Hwa, she was kept with her husband to take care of him.
