Yvonne scolded sharply, "What are you doing? Haven't you caused us enough harm already?"
Her words froze Joe in place. He stared at her, stunned, as if he couldn’t process what she had said.
Nigel, adding fuel to the fire, pretended to wince in pain. "Ow, it hurts, like a needle stabbing me. Yvonne, can you check if something's wrong with my legs?"
Joe immediately pulled the blanket over Nigel’s legs and scoffed, "Nigel, let me call a doctor. Yvonne doesn’t know about these things."
"None of your business," Yvonne snapped, not giving Joe any kindness. She stood up and began to carefully examine Nigel's legs, as if handling something precious.
Watching her tender care, Joe felt a crushing pain inside, like his heart was being twisted apart. His anger turned to Nigel, who was looking at him smugly, clearly enjoying the moment.
Joe clenched his fists but knew he couldn’t lose control. If he did, he would only make Yvonne hate him more.
After a long pause, he managed to calm himself and spoke with a forced smile. "Yvonne, I need to talk to you. Come with me."
"If you’ve got something to say, say it here," Yvonne didn’t even look up, busy peeling an apple.
"There are others here," Joe tried to find an excuse.
Yvonne glanced at Nigel, a small smile tugging at her lips. "Nigel isn’t ‘others.’ Who else would risk their life to save me? He’s not an outsider to me."
Both Joe and Nigel were stunned by her words.
Nigel, now visibly moved, raised his hand in a vow. "I promise, nothing like that will ever happen again. I’ll always protect you."
Joe let out a mocking laugh.

Can you add more chapters per day please...
Don't tell me 🤯 Is Nina pharaoh's daughter?...
Meanwhile why is Nina playing hard to get? What else does she want from the man? I bet if Nash ever declares to kove the baby unconditionally she might soften up but lady just spill the secret he would be overjoyed!...
I see you increased the number of chapters per day by 2, but please can we have like 20 chapters per day? 7 chapters is too little, the suspense is just crazy...
Man forget Nina. Bring Nash to me. I'll be more than willing to be with such a handsome and rich++ husband. 😘😘...
