Chapter 1097: I Only Ask That You Spare Her and Give Her a Way Out
The Military District Hospital was in turmoil, retrieving surveillance and checking whereabouts. After a round of investigation, when Richard Shaw brought people to Hawk Howard’s residence, the night was already deep.
After Crystal Landon fell asleep, Hawk Howard sat in the living room, brewed a cup of coffee, and worked overtime while waiting for people to arrive.
When the man silently broke in, Hawk Howard raised an eyebrow and said coldly, "Major General Shaw, does this count as breaking and entering?"
Richard Shaw’s figure was half-hidden in the dark night, his stern face growing even more somber, and as he walked in, he threw a punch.
Even though Hawk Howard was on guard, the opponent’s attack was fast, fierce, and accurate. As a long-time soldier, his skills were ten or even a hundred times better, and Hawk Howard was hit in the stomach, suffering internal injuries, unable to get up for quite a while.
Richard Shaw ignored him, entered the bedroom, and saw her quietly sleeping on the bed. Mixed emotions welled up inside him, fearing that she might have overheard his conversation with Luna Lawrence. He was suddenly slightly terrified, as he had never spoken openly with her about this matter.
In fact, before tonight, Richard Shaw felt there was no need to discuss it. She was still young, and their marriage foundation was not strong enough for heartfelt conversations. Only when she left without a word due to her pregnancy did he realize the situation was more serious than he had thought.
Richard Shaw left the bedroom and saw Hawk Howard had already gotten up, sat down on the sofa with a drink of water, and laughed coldly, "Consider this punch an early congratulation on your divorce."
He was the person who knew Crystal Landon’s character the most—decisive, carefree. If she ever compromised, it meant things had reached the limit of her endurance, and a complete break was not far off.
"Caspian, bringing my wife and child to your home in the middle of the night, is this what a gentleman does?" Richard Shaw reprimanded sternly.
"You should ask yourself what you did to make her not want to stay in the hospital for another second." Hawk Howard pressed his injured side, feeling like his bones might be broken, and smirked, "You Shaw Family people are really amusing. Not short on money or power, you spent a little money to support her; the old lady used gratitude to make her work like a horse for you, and even though she watched you cheat, she’s supposed to leave you guys an heir. Major General Shaw is even more interesting; since you have a ’pure love,’ why marry her? To mistreat her?"
"Whatever you gave the Landon Family, I can give you in return, all I ask is for you to let her go, give her a way out," Hawk Howard said coldly, unconsciously growing angry, and the pain in his abdomen worsened.
Richard Shaw’s handsome face turned grim, unable to retort.
The feud between the two families was too complicated, how could outsiders know? The old lady truly cared for her, having devoted all her energy to her over the years. And Crystal Landon married him because she liked him, yet they still hadn’t found an effective way to get along.
Perhaps they had figured it out, but Richard Shaw didn’t know why everything suddenly changed, starting from when she investigated him and Luna Lawrence; their hearts, once close, were now drifting apart.
"The Shaw Family’s matters are none of your concern," Richard Shaw said coldly.
Hawk Howard, seeing his obstinate demeanor, sneered and said nothing more. After all, they were rivals, and the more oblivious Richard Shaw remained, the better. The man said indifferently, "Wait here in the living room, she has a light sleep, once awake, she won’t fall asleep again."
