Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 1191

Zane took a series of deep breaths, trying to calm himself down, struggling to suppress the anger bubbling inside him.

Despite his own pain, he comforted Winona, "Don't worry, sweetheart, I've got you. No one can hurt you while I'm here."

Winona snuggled into Zane's arms like a content kitten, murmuring her agreement, "Mmmhmm." It was hard to believe this was the same woman who had been a fierce warrior just moments earlier!

After ushering the doctor and nurses out of the room, Zane spent some time soothing Winona's nerves. Once she seemed calm enough, he hobbled over to the door, his leg still bleeding profusely.

"My wound's opened up. I need it re-bandaged, stat!" he called out.

The doctor suggested taking him to a treatment room, but Zane shook his head, "No, do it here. My wife can't be left alone right now. She might panic if I'm not around."

The doctor advised, "Her emotions are volatile. It might not be wise to stay in the same room with her."

Zane furrowed his brow, "I'll manage."

"Alright, hold still then. We'll take care of your leg first."

"Got it."

Winona lay quietly on the hospital bed, listening to the conversation and the sound of Zane gritting his teeth through the pain. Her expression remained calm, but her eyes held a storm.

Did it hurt? This was just the beginning. The real pain was yet to come.

Meanwhile, at Number One Mansion, Elliot and Evan peered over Elijah’s shoulder at his computer screen with a grin. "Winona's quite the actress. She's giving that dirtbag exactly what he deserves!"

"Let's stir things up a bit ourselves, give Winona a little boost!" Elijah suggested.

"Yeah!"

The trio huddled together, their whispers filled with mischief.

Back at the hospital, after getting his leg wrapped up, Zane returned to the room and splashed his face with water in the bathroom, trying to cool down.
