Nicholas didn't know how much he would hate his silence in the future. If he were to offer an explanation, or if he were to take strict actions to show his emotions, things would be easier in the future.
But alas! He just had to be stubborn and suppress his anxiety, showing that he wasn't disturbed by his wife's accident at all. This little action of his gave others an impression that he was a heartless young man who never cared about a woman, his wife at that.
At first, Asher just wanted to vent his anger. But when he saw the young man standing there like a fool without replying, the anger in his heart spiked all of a sudden.
He grabbed the man's collar and said, "You should be lucky that you're family!"
It wasn't that Asher didn't know that without his cousin's connections, it would have been harder to save the woman. But so what? Did a person have to be so cold and heartless when dealing with such an emotion?
