Chapter 174 What Are You Doing Here?
Hugh stood in the hallway, feeling completely frustrated.
Fiona’s words kept echoing in his mind.
Their relationship was on the rocks, and their home was no longer the warm place it used to be.
Hearing the door close, Jemma came over. “Mr. Cavill, breakfast is ready.”
Hugh just grunted and headed straight for the bedroom.
After the morning meeting in the office, Hugh stared at his phone for over a minute.
Then he picked it up and sent Bethan a WhatsApp
message.
Soon, Bethan called. The tension on Hugh’s tense face gradually melted away.
On the phone, Bethan’s concerned voice came through:03 “Are you sure it’s the old problem? Do you need to get a

check-up before getting the meds?”
Hugh glanced at Jacob and replied, “It’s the old problem. Just get me some medicine.”
On the other end, Bethan readily agreed, “I’ll mix some medicine after work and bring it to you tonight. Gotta go.”
Before Hugh could say another word, Bethan hung up.
As Jacob saw Hugh’s face slowly turn gloomy again, he quickly called Bethan.
When the call connected, Jacob said cautiously, “Mrs. Cavill, Mr. Cavill is in a real bad way. He probably can’t wait until tonight.”
Hugh was left speechless.
After Jacob finished the call with Bethan, he faced his boss’s glare and forced himself to say, “Mr. Cavill, Mrs. Cavill asked you to hold on a bit. She’ll bring the medicine before noon.”
As he heard that Bethan would bring the mediche, 17:03

Hugh’s furrowed brows relaxed a little.

Just past 11 a.m., Jacob placed a cup of coffee beside Hugh.
Just then, a female assistant knocked on the door. “Mr. Gill, there’s a young lady without an appointment. She says she’s here to deliver something for Mr. Cavill.”
Jacob quickly reminded her, “How dare you stop Mrs. Cavill? Hurry up and invite her in.”
Scared, the female assistant rushed to fetch the visitor.
Hugh closed the contract in his hand and stood up. He told Jacob, “Don’t prepare lunch for me. You can go and do your work.”
Just as Jacob was about to leave the office, Megan walked
in with a thermos.
Hugh sized up the well-dressed Megan from head to toe, his face darkening instantly. “What are you doing here?”
Megan calmly explained, “Hugh, don’t get the wrong idea. Your wife is swamped with work. She called me to help:03

bring you some medicine. I also made some soup and brought it along.”
Jacob stole a glance at Hugh and slipped out of the office along the wall, not daring to make a sound.
Megan put the thermos on the coffee table. “Hugh, your wife said you’ve been having trouble sleeping. I added some herbs to the soup. Let me serve you a bowl, and you can have a taste.”
Hugh stood in front of the desk, unmoving. With a gloomy face, he said, “Leave the medicine and take the
soup away.”
Megan involuntarily tightened her grip on the soup ladle.
When she first returned to the country, even if she acted a bit out of line occasionally, Hugh would tolerate her.
But now, his patience with her was wearing thin.
She guessed it must be because at the Huvale Group’s annual party, she intentionally caused a public stir that made people misinterpret their relationship, making his grandfather furious, putting him in an awkward-spot!7:03

If it weren’t for Bethan, Hugh would surely take her and her child under his wing and treat them well.
Megan walked up to Hugh and tentatively asked, “Hugh, did I do something wrong again?”
Hugh replied, “I’m not hungry. You can go back first.”
Seeing Hugh’s terrifyingly gloomy face, Megan didn’t dare
to stay.
She left the office with the thermos in hand in less than
three minutes.
After Megan left, Hugh leaned forward, propping his hands on the edge of the desk. His shoulders slumped, and he closed his eyes wearily.
He never expected Bethan to send Megan to bring him the medicine!
Hugh felt as if his chest was clogged with something heavy and stuffy.
The state of their relationship was a far cry from what a
