# Chapter 451: The Weight of Silence and Blood
Hello everyone, it's me again! How are you all doing? Today I will continue to walk with you and review Chapter 451 of "My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire Reviews" — a chapter that will leave you breathless with anger, heartache, and a shocking revelation that changes everything.
---
Austin's phone rang once before being hung up. The cold automated voice repeated the same message: "The number you dialed is unavailable." Frustration etched deep lines across his forehead as he stared at the screen. Where on earth could his sister be? He sent another desperate message: "Sister, where are you? Mom and I have arrived. Which floor are you on? We are coming to you!"
But silence answered him. Complete, unnerving silence.
Lady Gill noticed her son's troubled expression. "What's wrong?" she asked, her voice tight with motherly concern.
Austin let out a heavy sigh. "No replies to messages, and she's not picking up the phone either."
Lady Gill took a deep breath, steadying herself. "Then have someone take control of this entire building. Check every person of similar age."
Austin nodded immediately and delegated the task to his subordinates. Lady Gill decided to wait at the entrance while instructing him to go check on Jackson. As Austin turned away, his gaze fell upon Nara, dark and ominous. "I suddenly realize something. Jackson must have arranged for you to be an intern on this floor, right? Well then, come over here and take good care of Jackson! Otherwise..." The threat hung unfinished in the air.
Nara's fists clenched. Tears threatened to spill from her eyes.
Keira stepped forward, placing a comforting hand on her arm. "Nara, you don't have to demean yourself."
But Nara tightened her jaw and waved her hands in resignation. She had to be a doctor. After years of sacrifice — her brother giving up his own education so she could pursue medicine — she couldn't let a moment of pride destroy everything. Her brother had always believed she would become a skilled doctor, perhaps even develop medicine to cure her muteness. For his dream, Nara swallowed her dignity and walked straight into Jackson's ward with a fruit tray.
Keira frowned deeply. She hadn't forgotten the true purpose of her hospital visit, so instead of following Nara inside, she turned to Austin. "Shall we talk?"
Austin's response dripped with disdain. "What is there to talk about? There is nothing to be said between you and me!"
Keira sighed, pressing forward despite his hostility. "My brother didn't falsify those medical reports. We had tests done at three different hospitals. All showed azoospermia."
Austin sneered. "And then what?"
Her expression grew grave. "Then yesterday, all the doctors who tested him went abroad — for the same reason as your hospital's doctor — to attend an international medical conference."
Austin's mocking demeanor faltered.
Keira continued relentlessly. "So there must be something going on, Austin. Do you want to remain in the dark? Can you get in touch with your doctor? Why don't we clear this up together?"
For a long moment, Austin stared at her. Then suddenly, he sneered. "Do you think I'm going to believe you? Keira, there is nothing we can cooperate on."
"Everything I'm saying is true—"
"Even if it is true, what of it? I've told you this matter has nothing to do with my family, so I won't help you. The Gill family and the Olsens are sworn enemies! The two families' relations have been severed because of you!"
He turned to walk away.
Keira followed stubbornly. "Actually, the misunderstanding between us is minor. By now, you should understand that Mary's child is Ellis's. She never lived a promiscuous life before. Don't you think you were wrong to slander her like that?"
Austin halted mid-step.
Sensing his hesitation, Keira pressed on. "I know you're not purely evil. You just wanted to boast. You are different from Jackson..."
Austin and Jackson were indeed different. Austin had a stubborn side, but he maintained integrity in his actions. He didn't force himself on Mary despite having boasted about it. But Jackson... Jackson forcefully made moves on girls like Nara, barely twenty years old. Austin found it despicable, even if his pride wouldn't let him admit it.
"There's nothing different between him and me," Austin scoffed. "You don't need to try and drive a wedge between us."
"I just want to cooperate with your company for once. Our families have always had a good relationship. Why can't we continue that?"
Before Keira could finish, an angry roar erupted from Jackson's ward. "How can you be so clumsy? You can't even handle some fruit!"
Keira rushed inside to find Nara with blood smeared across her hands and the apple peel she was holding. Her fingers trembled violently as she stared at the gash on her wrist — a wound from which blood poured freely, rendering her hand strengthless.
"What happened?" Keira demanded.
Nara tried to gesture, tried to explain, but no one understood her sign language. She tried to write, but her right hand — her writing hand — was useless. Her eyes rimmed red as tears streamed down her face. She was supposed to become a doctor. Without strength in her hand, how would she hold a scalpel? Her entire medical career had been destroyed in an instant!
With burning resentment, she turned her tearful gaze toward Jackson.
Keira's voice hardened. "Did he do this?"
Nara nodded frantically.
Keira scanned the room, piecing together the scene — the pillow on the floor, the fruit knife beside it. "Did he ask you to peel the apple, and then, while you were peeling, he hit you with a pillow, causing you to cut your wrist?"
Nara nodded, tears flowing freely now.
Jackson sneered. "So what if I did that? She couldn't serve me properly! I wanted to eat an apple and asked her to peel one, and she couldn't even manage that!"
Nara cried as she looked at him. She could do it. But Jackson had found fault with everything — the peel too thick, the peel too thin — until her focus wavered, and then the pillow struck, driving the blade into her wrist.
Jackson laughed mockingly. "What wrong has she suffered? The person who was wronged here is me! She's a doctor, right? Supposed to hold a scalpel in the future? And she can't even peel an apple for me? If she's incompetent with a simple apple, she might as well consider a career change!"
He turned to his assistant. "Go tell the dean and her teacher that she cut her hand while peeling an apple for me. A careless person shouldn't be given a permanent position, lest she harm others in an operating room."
The assistant nodded. "Alright..."
As the assistant turned to leave, Nara grabbed his hand, shaking her head in pain, her mouth opening and closing in desperation. She wept soundlessly.
"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and go!" Jackson barked.
The assistant heartlessly pushed Nara away. In the extreme emotional stress, Nara unconsciously shouted two words, her voice hoarse and strange: "... No... don't..."
Keira froze in shock. Nara had spoken.
Jackson curled his lips. "Wow, look at that — the mute can talk! So why have you been playing mute? To gain sympathy? I heard that because you are a disabled person, the school waived a year of tuition for you... You wouldn't be scamming for tuition fees, would you?"
Nara shook her head frantically, her mouth opening and closing. "I... didn't..."
Keira exclaimed, "Nara, you spoke! Can you talk?"
Nara nodded while crying, then shook her head in confusion.
Jackson sneered again. "What does it matter if she can talk or not? I'll make sure she drops out! Oh, and I heard she wants to work at the Nora Research Institute. Without experience working in a hospital, there's no way she can get in!"
Keira's attention sharpened. "Do you want to go to Nora Research Institute?"
Nara nodded, then shook her head. She did want to go but didn't have the ability yet.
"I'll help you," Keira said firmly.
"You'll help her?" Jackson laughed as if he'd heard the funniest joke. "How can you help her? Don't you know the Gill family controls the medical system? With one word from us, the Nora Research Institute will never accept her! Austin, am I right?"
Austin grinned. "That's right! Keira, I won't let her succeed! I'm getting the hospital to revoke her internship!"
His phone rang. It was Lady Gill. "Mom, have the bodyguards arrived? Check every phone number — we'll find our sister!"
Lady Gill's voice was displeased. "The bodyguards have arrived and taken control of the entire floor. Where are you?"
"I'm here with Jackson."
"I only asked you to say hello. Why are you still lingering there? Get out here immediately!"
"I was just waiting for my sister to reply to a text message, and I've encountered a bit of trouble here—"
"What trouble? You're so—" She hung up.
Austin stared blankly at his phone. Then the sound of high heels approached, and Lady Gill entered with an authoritative air.
"What trouble have you encountered?" Lady Gill looked directly at Jackson.
Jackson pointed at Nara. "I asked her to peel an apple for me, and she intentionally got blood all over her hands, making it look like I was bullying her!"
Keira stepped forward, shielding Nara. "Lady Gill, anyone with eyes can see what's happening here. Surely you're not going to add insult to injury?"
Lady Gill sneered. "What's going on? I don't know what you're talking about! Jackson is making perfect sense here."
"It's clear that he—"
"He what? When he did whatever you're about to say, were you present, Miss Olsen?" Lady Gill cut her off. She turned to Austin. "You tell me!"
Austin grinned. "Miss Olsen was grabbing me in the hallway, wanting to discuss a partnership, and then we heard a cry from the ward. Neither Miss Olsen nor I saw what happened!" He walked over to Lady Gill and linked arms with her. "Mom, I think Jackson is making a lot of sense. And this Nara is incapable of saying anything. It must be her fault!"
Nara looked at them in astonishment. She was mute — of course she couldn't speak! And now they were using her disability to attack her?
Keira's voice turned cold. "Nara can't speak. Don't you go too far!"
"How can't she speak? I heard the mute speak just now..." Austin looked at Nara with a cruel smile. "Come on, repeat it, let my mother hear it. Mom, you didn't hear it, but when a mute speaks, the voice is unpleasant and grates the ears."
Tears welled up in Nara's eyes and rolled down. She had just struggled to speak, and now this man was mocking her. She pursed her lips, daring not to speak again.
"Shut your mouth!" Keira scolded.
"Miss Olsen! Don't you go too far!" Lady Gill defended her son immediately. "This is a hospital under Gill Group. We are on our turf. What we say and do is our freedom! Even if you are Sam's treasured darling, you can't control my son, right?"
Keira became furious, but Lady Gill pointed to the door. "Miss Olsen, we have other things to do. Please leave!"
Keira took a deep breath. If the Gill family controlled Clance's medical system, finding out why Ellis had azoospermia would require their cooperation. Moreover, her second task — forming good relations with the five great families — seemed impossible with the Gills. Staying here would only bring humiliation.
She grabbed Nara's arm firmly. "Let's go!"
As they turned to leave, Jackson's voice stopped them. "Wait a moment!"
The two froze.
"Aunt, we should cancel Nara's internship qualification. Don't scare other patients. She's injuring herself all the time..."
Nara's fists clenched tightly, her whole body trembling.
Keira became her voice. "Jackson, don't you go too far! Cancel her internship? Do you think your family monopolizes the entire Clance?"
"Tsk, tsk." Jackson scoffed. "The medical system of private hospitals is ours. What, do you think she can get into a public hospital? Or perhaps Nora Research Institute? Her hand is now useless! I just see her as a joke!"
Lady Gill's gaze finally landed on Nara. Following the bleeding hand, her eyes slowly moved up to Nara's face — and then she paused. For some reason, she felt a strange sense of affection.
Before she could speak, Austin sneered. "How could she possibly get into Nora Research Institute? Even if her hand weren't crippled, with her education and experience, she couldn't get in anyway!"
Jackson rambled on. "The Nora Research Institute is the dream of all doctors who love scientific research!"
Keira looked at him like he was a joke. Though Keira had "died," the Nora Research Institute was extraordinary. After arriving in Clance, she had secretly sent emails letting the staff know she was alive. The institute continued its research as usual. But she owed these people no explanation.
Just as she was about to leave, gripping Nara's hand, Austin blocked her way. "Who told you you can leave?"
Keira looked up with a cold gaze. "What, you want to fight again?"
"Austin scoffed. "As a student, Nara frightened the guests in the VIP ward. Doesn't she need to apologize?"
"What exactly do you want to do?"
"Very simple." Austin smiled cruelly. "Just let Nara kowtow to Jackson, admit her mistakes, and that will be the end of it. Otherwise, I will have her expelled from school! Moreover, Jackson turned into what he is now because of her! Letting her apologize isn't too much, is it?"
Nara bit her lip hard. Her eyes were swollen from crying as she stared fiercely at Austin. Why? Just because they had power and influence, they could do whatever they wanted? It was Jackson who went to her house to beat her brother and tried to assault her. And now it had become her fault?
She cried uncontrollably, her whole body trembling. Her hand shook as if the blood in her body was turning cold.
"That's impossible!" Keira declared.
Austin turned to Nara. "Miss Olsen, don't think too highly of yourself. I'm being considerate by letting her apologize. Otherwise, for someone as lowly as her, making her disappear from Clance without anyone noticing is just a matter of lifting a finger for me!" He leaned closer. "Don't be ungrateful! If you don't kneel, I can have your brother dead by tomorrow!"
Keira was utterly astonished. "Austin, have you no regard for the law?"
He laughed. "What silly thing are you talking about? I am a law-abiding good citizen, but it always just so happens that some people hold a grudge against Nara's brother! And if by chance he accidentally fell down the stairs or off a rooftop, what does it have to do with me?"
The meaning was crystal clear. He would hire a thug to kill someone and push the blame onto them.
Nara immediately waved her hand! Her brother and she depended on each other. How could her brother pay for her mistake?
"Nara is from the Olsen family," Austin continued. "I cannot touch her. But if I touch you, do you think the Olsens would fight to the death with our family for the likes of you and your brother? Oh right, you two are actually distant relatives of my family! Hahaha! So this is an internal matter for the Gill family — even less something the Olsens can interfere in! Neither emotionally nor logically can they do anything... So, will you kneel or not?"
"She won't kneel!" Keira flatly refused. She held Nara's arm. "Let's go. Don't worry, I will protect you and your brother!"
But Nara suddenly broke free from her grasp.
Keira was taken aback.
Nara gestured to her, her eyes filled with determination, anger, and stubbornness. Though she couldn't speak, Keira understood her intention perfectly. Nara didn't want to implicate Keira anymore. She didn't want her brother to come to harm because of her.
So she slowly turned toward Jackson and knelt without hesitation.
Keira's eyes widened in shock. "Nara!"
She wanted to say that one must not lack spine, but then she realized — this was Nara's life, not hers. She didn't have the strength to protect Nara and her brother all the time. Unless she kept them under her wings, but was that really what they wanted?
For a moment, Keira stood stunned, her feelings exceedingly complicated.
After Nara knelt, she looked toward Jackson. Jackson felt an inexplicable rush of satisfaction. This was the lost daughter of the first branch of the family — now kneeling before him.
"Kowtow!" Jackson commanded.
" Yes, kowtow," Austin echoed.
Nara shut her eyes tightly and her head struck the ground hard.
The sound made Keira's heart tremble. "That's enough!" She stepped forward, lifting Nara up from the ground.
But before Nara could rise, Jackson shouted furiously, "Not enough! I want her to kowtow ten times to me! Ten times!"
Austin immediately stepped forward, blocking Keira.
A flicker of despair passed through Nara's eyes. She was in extreme agony. But thinking about her brother at home, her own future, and the power of the Gill family... She didn't rise but knocked her forehead heavily against the floor again.
"Nara!" Keira's eyes were red with emotion.
Jackson felt secretly thrilled.
The fourth blow. The fifth. Nara didn't want to slowly accept the humiliation anymore. Her forehead forcefully knocked against the floor, making muffled sounds. The place where her forehead landed was already stained with blood.
Keira couldn't even count how many times Nara had kowtowed. She steadied her. "Enough!"
"One more to go," Jackson said aggressively.
Austin found it unbearable to watch, but hearing his brother's words, he understood Jackson hadn't vented his anger yet. "Yes, one more!"
"Look at the state she's in!" Keira protested.
"But still, there's only nine!" Jackson arrogantly declared. "If it's anything less than ten, today's matter won't be settled!"
Keira wanted to speak again, but Nara once again buried her head. *Bang!* She knocked her head until she was dizzy and bleary-eyed, her forehead already swollen and bleeding.
"We're done!" Keira shouted sternly and helped Nara up.
Staggering, Nara was assisted to her feet. She looked toward Austin. Keira caught her intention and immediately said, "Is it enough now? Austin, you promised you won't harass her and her brother again!"
Austin met Nara's persistent gaze. For some reason, he felt reminded of his sister. He pursed his lips, about to nod—
"Today's incident might be settled," Jackson's sarcastic voice cut through, "but that doesn't mean I've forgotten about the past!"
Keira's pupils shrank. "For the matters of the past, I won't let it drop!" Jackson watched them with a sinister gleam.
A burst of hatred and irritation surged from Nara's eyes. Her voice was hoarse as she said, "You... bastard!"
"Bastard? I am a bastard. What can you do about it? Hahaha!"
Keira spun on Austin. "Didn't we just agree on that? Doesn't the word of the Gill family count for anything?"
Jackson shouted in psychological perversion. "Austin was the one who gave you the promise, not me! Austin won't bother you anymore, but I never said I wouldn't!"
Austin furrowed his brow.
Nara stared at him intently. "You... just... didn't you..."
She wanted to say, "That wasn't what you said earlier," but she couldn't finish her sentence.
Austin's brow creased with rising irritation. "I have things to do. I'm busy looking for my sister. I don't have time to waste here with you!"
That statement shattered all of Nara's illusions. She had thought the words of wealthy people counted for something. But they were so shameless!
Her head spun, her steps faltered. Keira steadied her by the waist. "Nara, I'll take you home."
Nara gave a bitter smile and followed Keira slowly toward the door.
Austin picked up his phone and tried his sister's number again...
Meanwhile, the phone that Nara had just picked up started vibrating madly in her hands. She looked down at the caller ID — and abruptly turned her gaze toward Austin.
