Hayes quickly reassured to prevent him from erupting, "Don't worry, Knox is impulsive when he does things. Once his impulse subsides, he still understands right from wrong."
Matthew Saxon snorted coldly, suppressing his anger, compressed his lips, and after a moment, he sneered, "It better be like that."
Having managed to calm him down, Hayes breathed a silent sigh of relief and instructed someone to go outside with a message, "Tell the gatekeeper to keep a close watch; as soon as Young Master returns, notify here immediately."

After waiting for about twenty minutes, Hayes was about to lose his patience, contemplating an excuse to retreat temporarily, when the maid came trotting over.
"Young Master is back."
Thump! Hayes's heart, which was hanging in suspense, finally settled back into place.
If Knox didn't return soon, he would have found an excuse to escape.
