I didn't inquire about the Shaw family at all in the past six months, but some gossip still reached my ears.
I heard life had become hell for them.

But more terrifying than his physical decay was Jackie's twisted psyche. Having lost his legs and health, he could no longer feign that pitiful appearance like he used to do.
