Bethan was about to leave for Keating Mansion when Jacob came rushing over. “Ma’am, Mr. Cavill was in a car accident. They brought him here for treatment!”

“A car accident?”

Bethan could hardly believe it.

In New York, unless someone had a death wish or was desperate for insurance money, who the hell would dare crash into Hugh?

Her eyes caught sight of Arthur, and her heart sank.

She quickly walked over, grabbed Arthur, and shoved him against the wall.

Glancing back at Jacob, she lowered her voice. “Did you hit Hugh with your car?”

Arthur nodded. “Yeah. That’s what he gets for snitching 1/10

to my grandfather and refusing to divorce you.”

Bethan slapped her hand over Arthur’s mouth, shooting him a warning look.

She hissed, “Your brakes failed, right?”

Arthur shook his head. “My car just passed inspection. Nothing’s wrong with it.”

Bethan glanced back at Jacob again, cold sweat breaking out across her skin.

She shot Arthur a pointed look. “I know exactly what happened. You had an episode and came to see me for a follow-up. Go register right now, and I’ll check you over before I leave.”

Arthur thumped his chest. “I’m not sick! I eat well, I sleep well, and I feel perfectly fine. I just wanted payback.”

Bethan looked back at Jacob for the third time, then grabbed Arthur and dragged him away.

Even if Arthur was the youngest son of a European financial dynasty with serious connections, this was still New York. No matter how powerful his family was, if he’d deliberately hit Hugh with his car, he wouldn’t just walk 1

Jacob watched helplessly as Bethan left, then turned and got in the elevator.

More than an hour later, Hugh was moved to a VIP room.

Hugh asked Jacob with a dark expression, “Where is she?”

Jacob didn’t dare speak.

His boss had sent him to get her, but she hadn’t even asked if Hugh was okay-she’d just left with someone else.

There was no way Jacob could say that out loud.

Hugh lay in the hospital bed wearing patient scrubs, an IV in his arm.

He stared at Jacob without blinking. “I asked you a question. What, are you mute now?”

Jacob hesitated. “Mr. Cavill, your wife, she…”

Hugh watched Jacob’s reaction and frowned. “What did

She Say?”

Jacob shook his head. “She didn’t say much.”

Seeing his boss’s face turn ice cold, he nodded quickly. “Actually, she said some things.”

Hugh’s chest started heaving, and he pointed at Jacob with his IV-attached hand.

Jacob steeled himself. “Ma’am asked if Mr. Locke’s brakes had failed, or if he was sick and mentally unstable, or even drowsy…”

Jacob’s voice trailed off.

Hugh’s face darkened. “And then?”

Jacob replied, “Then she left with Mr. Locke.”

Hugh closed his eyes and took a deep breath. “Go get her again. Tell her to get here now!”

Jacob hurried off.

Soon after, Jacob returned. “Mr. Cavill, her assistant says she went to Keating Mansion.”

Hugh lay stiffly in the hospital bed, breathing heavily

with anger.

Perfect.

She didn’t even care if he lived or died anymore.

Fiona and Ryan arrived at the hospital right away.

Ryan scanned the room, anger flashing in his eyes. “You’re hurt this bad and where’s your wife?”

Hugh glanced at Jacob.

“She’s out on a house call,” Jacob said. “She doesn’t know he’s in the hospital yet.”

Early the next morning.

Bethan touched up her makeup and slipped into a cute sky-blue two-piece. The skirt stopped just above her knees, and she threw on white sneakers to complete the look. Her hair went up in a high ponytail-simple and 5610

At eight AM, Bethan walked into Hugh’s hospital room carrying a bouquet of flowers.

Hugh lay in the bed, his eyes locked on Bethan as she entered, his lips pressed into a tight line.

Today’s outfit was perfect on her, and with that polished makeup, she looked absolutely stunning.

The suit’s design showed off her figure perfectly, and the high ponytail made her look young, stylish, and fresh. The blue color brought out her elegant, pure vibe.

Hugh’s gaze got more intense as he watched Bethan.

He spoke, his voice slightly hoarse. “You knew I was in the hospital. Where the hell were you?”

Bethan set down the flowers and walked to Hugh’s bedside. With a completely serious expression, she said, “Hugh, let’s get divorced. It would be better for you, for me, for everyone.”

The two stared at each other for what felt like forever.

ig suddenly turned over and got out of bed. 18:01

His eyes bloodshot, he pulled Bethan tightly into his arms. “Can’t you see that I’m hurt?”

Bethan couldn’t break free and let Hugh hold her.

She said coolly, “Who hasn’t been hurt? It’s not a big deal. It’s not like you died.”

Bethan continued, “Let’s get divorced. Maybe we can still be friends after.”

Hugh caught the meaning behind Bethan’s words.

His heart started racing with panic, and his arms around Bethan tightened without thinking.

With reddened eyes, he said to Bethan word by word, “Divorce? Over my dead body.”

Bethan could tell Hugh’s emotions were spiraling, and she tried not to set him off. “Let’s talk this through. Let go of me first.”

Hugh held her even tighter.

He buried his head in Bethan’s neck, his muffled voice8:01
