"What did you just say?" Ian's eyes widened and in his shock, he held the ward boy's shoulders, completely forgetting his professionalism for a moment.
The ward boy was too stunned to speak and he stared blankly. Only then did Ian realize what he had done and how he had lost his composure momentarily. He stepped back immediately and calmed himself down.
"I apologize for my behavior; I lost my self-control. Now, tell me in detail." Even though he had composed himself, he did not let go of his intimidating aura and the ward boy had difficulty finding words.
"I think it's time you start speaking, Sir." Joshua prompted from behind while the others looked on, which got the ward boy speaking.
"We do not know what happened, Doctor Davis, and who murdered him..."
"Did you just say murder?" Ian stepped forward in sudden fury, forcing the ward boy to step back.
