Chapter 38 We Are With You
Henry was sent to the hospital for a check-up. Although he was covered in injuries, luckily no bones were broken, mainly due to his good physical condition. Despite this, he was still admitted to the hospital.
Seeing Henry, whose features were distorted, lying in bed with an IV drip, Emily burst into tears. Brandon himself was also injured but insisted on staying to take care of Henry, no matter what Henry said. The other five brothers also wanted to stay, as well as Emily.
However, Andrew advised Emily that she had to attend classes the next day and couldn't stay here tonight. Emily, seeing that Brandon and the others were all staying, hoped that Andrew could stay too. Andrew remained silent for a while and then offered to stay.
Andrew wasn't unwilling to take care of Henry; he was mainly afraid that Charles' men would come to the hospital at night. He didn't consider that if Charles' men wanted to come to the hospital, they wouldn't have let them go just now. He was scared and didn't understand how things worked in society, so he was eager to leave.
Moreover, he had just wet his pants and was in a hurry to go home and change. Henry could see through Andrew's thoughts, but he didn't resent him at all. Firstly, this whole situation was caused by himself, and he was too careless. He thought that after calling Erick in the afternoon and beating him up, everything would be fine in the evening. Otherwise, knowing his personality, he would have gone to the bar in the evening.
If he had gone directly, there wouldn't have been the incident of Emily and Andrew being kidnapped, and he could have had a good fight. Secondly, more than anyone else, he knew that Andrew was a cowardly and selfish person. Tonight, not to mention himself, even if it were his own parents, Andrew would only think of himself. But Henry was filled with gratitude towards Emily. He felt that Emily's behavior today was like that of his own foster mother. If his foster mother were here, she would also be like her.
At this moment, what Henry received from Emily was not the ambiguous feelings between a man and a woman, but a deep maternal love! "Sister-in-law." Henry moved his fingers. Emily immediately went over and held his hand. "Sister-in-law," Henry looked at Emily like a child, "you've suffered today, you're tired, go home and rest. I have Brandon and the others here to take care of me, it's fine." Emily's heart shattered. She wished she could see the terrifying and even fearful look in Henry's eyes from before!
While crying, Emily nodded, "Okay, I'll go back. I'll come early tomorrow morning." At this moment, Andrew came over and supported Emily, and Emily didn't say anything. Just as the two of them left the ward, Emily pushed Andrew away. After Andrew and Emily left, there was a brief and awkward silence in the ward. At this moment, what everyone wanted to discuss the most was Justin's matter, but seeing Henry's condition, they were reluctant to bring up the topic.
These brothers usually had a good relationship with Brandon, and Brandon had shared many stories about Henry during their time in federal prison. They knew that Henry not only could fight but was also loyal, emotional, and stood up for justice. When Brandon was inside, he was often bullied because there were fewer inmates from Harbor Springs, and if it weren't for Henry's protection, he didn't know how he would have survived those years.
Now that Henry was in trouble and had found him, even if the opposing force was too strong to handle, they had no choice. But Justin's actions not only hit Henry but also made these brothers lose face and chilled their hearts. Henry knew what everyone was thinking and smiled, "Thank you, brothers. If it weren't for you rushing over today, I might have been finished by them." Brandon said awkwardly, "Brother, you saying that is like hitting me in the face."
"It's really not," Henry explained, "If you guys hadn't gone, maybe the three of us would have been finished, and nobody would have known. With you going, they can only think of extorting more money and won't dare to go too far. So, my brothers, you have saved my life." Henry's words made the brothers present feel a bit uncomfortable. "Brother," Brandon said, "It was me who talked big in front of you back then, otherwise I wouldn't have let you lose face today, but I really didn't lie to you.
We are a group of brothers who are willing to go all out. The reason we followed Justin back then was because he said he knew Samuel. Although we mix in society, we all have our bottom line, so we haven't been in any major trouble. We never really understood his background. This time, we've seen through it. Brother, even though you're a bit younger than us, we know your character and strength. If you don't mind, the few of us will follow you from now on."
After speaking, Brandon glanced at a few of the brothers, and they all silently nodded, agreeing. Henry had just been beaten, and it was one of the four big bosses of the black gangs, Charles, who had done it. In this situation, for these brothers to agree to follow him, it was evident that they were not weaklings. Henry smiled, "I don't want to mix in society this time. I just want to find an ordinary job and live a simple life.
But the brotherhood of you guys today, I, Henry, have taken it to heart. In the future, as long as Brandon needs help, just give me a call." Brandon forced a smile, "Brother, you're underestimating us, aren't you? Don't I know your personality? This matter is not going to be settled so easily. To tell you the truth, not one of us is a pushover. As long as the big brother is fair and reasonable, we won't back down from anything, even if it's three big gang leaders or four young masters."
