English term or phrase: went back to his anger
As the discussion continued, my father's anger grew. We were all worried that it would develop into a fight. ...
It was finally agreed that the leaders contribute money for my parents to go and attend to Mary's illness. When the visitors were gone, my father *went back to his anger*.

retrouva sa colère


Explanation:
The idea being that while the visitors were there the father was still angry - it was simply put on hold while they were there.
