Chapter 0008
Sam tried to stop the housekeeper, Mr. Cooper, but it was too late.
Mia had already stepped out of the car after overhearing his words. She had a sinking feeling that it was Jenna’s appearance that had caused Mr. Jasper Sr. to faint.
She had warned Hunter before, but he hadn’t believed her.
Now that Mr. Jasper Sr. had collapsed from anger, Mia wondered how Hunter was feeling. Or maybe he didn’t feel anything at all. After all, apart from Jenna, he seemed indifferent to everyone.
Mr. Cooper’s eyes lit up when he saw Mia, and his voice rose in urgency. “Mrs. Mia Jasper, please, come quickly!”
Mia quickened her pace. “Did you call the family doctor?”
“I did, but–it’ll be at least twenty minutes before he arrives.”
“Have you opened the windows for ventilation?”
“They’re all open,” Mr. Cooper assured her.
Mia pressed her lips together and hurried inside. As soon as she entered the hallway, Jenna’s soft sobbing reached her ears.
Mia frowned and whispered, “Mr. Cooper, please ask Jenna to rest in her room. She shouldn’t be disturbing Grandpa.”
After all, it was Jenna who had caused Mr. Jasper Sr. to faint, and now she was putting on a show by crying here. It was irritating.
“Right away!” Mr. Cooper hurried forward.
Mia stepped inside and swapped her shoes for house slippers. Meanwhile, Mr. Cooper approached Jenna and spoke in a low voice. “Mrs. Jenna Jasper, you must be tired. Let me take you back to your room to
rest.”
Mr. Cooper had never been fond of Jenna. Her overly fragile demeanor and tendency to burst into tears irritated him.
As Jenna noticed Mia walking gracefully through the door, her beauty catching everyone’s attention, she bit her lip and glanced up at Hunter.
Seeing him watching Mia as well sparked a pang of jealousy in Jenna’s heart. In a voice full of feigned guilt, she said, “It’s all my fault that Grandpa passed out, I’ll leave now.”
She spoke of leaving but made no move to stand.
Mr. Cooper felt uncomfortable with the situation, but didn’t dare push her.
Hunter frowned, his tone soft as he said, “Go upstairs and rest. You can come down when Grandpa wakes -up.”
Jenna obediently stood up, but in the next moment, she wobbled backward, letting out a startled cry. Hunter, help me!”

Hunter rushed over to catch her, his brows furrowed in concern. “You’re so careless!”
“I sat too long, and my legs went numb,” she murmured, wrapping her arms around his neck. “You can put me down now.”
