William Griffith stopped speaking, Sophie Wood gestured at him to leave quickly.
Sophie was not a bad person, and as a woman, she did feel sympathy for Cherish Turner.
"Have you ever asked Sophie if she's willing?" William finally spoke, his voice low and stirring, "She is a person, not a chess piece for you to move as you please. Besides, I don't love her. Such a marriage won't bring her happiness." Surprisingly, Sophie was not angered by William's words; he was being honest, at least.
Robert Griffith's anger swelled, and his face turned red, "Revolt!"
May Campbell rushed to Robert's side, gently stroking his chest, "Old Man, the doctor said you can't get angry anymore!" She looked up at the two of them, "You'd better go!"
"William, don't anger your grandfather," Mother Griffith urged, fearing that Robert would get sick.
William fixed his gaze on Robert, who lay in bed, and suddenly said, "You always make decisions on your own, that's why you can't keep people around."
