Gritting his teeth, he glared at Nathaniel and hissed, “You bastard, how dare you help an outsider deal with your own uncle? Don’t forget this is your mother’s fault! She should be punished too if I am convicted. If I am to be tortured by these concoctions, so should she.”

“Hurry! Call the doctor before I die!”
