The moment Hugh saw Arthur, he lost his appetite completely.

Arthur set the roasted chicken on the dining table and dropped into his chair without ceremony.

Seeing Hugh’s cold expression, Arthur said, “A proper apology has to be sincere. Just saying sorry won’t cut it.”

“You know what they say-eat what you need to heal,” Arthur continued. “I’ll give you both drumsticks in a bit.”

Hugh put his hand on Bethan’s shoulder. “I’m not hungry. Help me to bed.”

Bethan helped Hugh onto the bed. “Alright, Arthur and I will eat first. You can eat whenever you get hungry.”

Hugh fell into silence.

When Bethan came back, Arthur handed her a drumstick. “Bethy, since he’s not eating, perfect-one for each of us.”

Bethan served Arthur some side dishes. “Try this. The

Hugh stared at the pair at the dining table with zero expression, his face getting darker by the minute.

Ever since he’d known Bethan, she’d always stayed close to him during meals. Anything she thought was delicious, she’d make him try. Especially when he wasn’t feeling well.

But now-now he was injured and stuck in the hospital, and she was treating him with such… indifference.

Hugh closed his eyes in pain.

After lunch, Bethan cleaned up.

Arthur noticed how tired Bethan looked. “It’s too noisy in here. Why don’t you rest in the office? I’ll watch him.”

Seeing Hugh lying on the hospital bed with his eyes closed like a corpse, Bethan walked straight out of the

room.

Once outside, Bethan felt weird about leaving the two alone. She called Jacob, asking him to get back to the hospital ASAP.

Jacob quickly hung up and turned to Megan. “Ms. Ridley, the Cavill Group is dealing with cash flow problems right now, and Mr. Cavill is in the hospital. Please be patient- we can talk about this once Mr. Cavill gets discharged.”

Hearing that Hugh was hospitalized, Megan immediately said, “What happened to Hugh? Take me to see him,

now!”

Jacob wouldn’t dare. “Ms. Ridley, you’d better not go. His mother is staying by his bedside day and night. Your being there might be… awkward.”

Remembering she still owed Fiona a ton of money, Megan immediately backed down. “Well, if you put it that way, Jacob, I guess I won’t go cause trouble then.”

Megan’s eyes got red. “But the kid and I really can’t make ends meet anymore. Jacob, could you lend me some money for emergencies? Just a hundred thousand? Once Hugh gets out, I’ll have him pay you back immediately.”

Jacob felt like his head was about to explode.

If his boss hadn’t told him to keep Megan placated, he would’ve slapped some sense into her on the spot. 18:04

“Ms. Ridley,” Jacob said, “I hand over my entire paycheck to my wife. I really don’t have that much to lend you.”

Megan backed down. “Fine, not a hundred thousand-but surely you have ten or twenty thousand?”

Seeing that Jacob still wouldn’t lend money, Megan started crying. “It looks like Hugh really doesn’t care about us anymore.”

Watching Megan cry on and on, Jacob finally caved. “Ten thousand. I only have ten thousand.”

Megan would take even ten thousand. She never planned to pay it back anyway.

Just as Jacob finished transferring ten thousand dollars to Megan, his wife and sister-in-law happened to walk by with a baby stroller and caught him red-handed.

Jacob barely had time to think “Oh shit” before his wife was on him.

His sister-in-law grabbed Megan by the hair, shoved her to the ground, and started slapping her. 4/10

his hands protecting his face for dear life.

The whole scene turned into absolute chaos.

Jacob showed up at Hugh’s hospital room over an hour later.

Seeing Jacob walk in, Arthur stood up and left.

Once the door closed, Hugh asked Jacob, “How did it go?”

Jacob told him about meeting with Megan and getting beaten up by his wife and sister-in-law afterward.

Hugh tried to comfort him. “Getting beaten by your wife isn’t embarrassing. Just hang in there a little longer.”

Hugh saw Jacob’s defeated expression and said, “When this is all over, I’ll give you a month off with pay and double your year-end bonus.”

Jacob perked up instantly. “Mr. Cavill, Ms. Ridley borrowed ten thousand from me.”

Hugh couldn’t help but frown.

Even now, Megan hadn’t asked Hudson’s biological father for help.

Who was the guy behind her?

Did he have any direct connection to Leonard’s death?

What exactly was Megan hiding?

When Bethan came to the hospital room that afternoon, only Hugh was there.

Hugh held out his hand toward Bethan. “Help me to the bathroom.”

Bethan didn’t move. “Hugh, your legs aren’t broken. Do you really need to be this dramatic?”

Hugh reminded her, “You promised to take care of me. And this is how you do it? You won’t even help me up?”

Reluctantly, Bethan came over to help. “Maybe we should have Megan come take care of you instead.”

Watching Hugh walk perfectly fine into the bathroom, Bethan was speechless.

Looked like she’d just have to deal with this until Hugh got discharged.

Arthur knocked and walked in, seeing Bethan looking stressed. He teased, “What are you thinking about? You look like you’re about to have a breakdown.”

Bethan smiled a little. “Nothing.”

“Bethan,” Arthur said, “let’s go racing when you have time.”

“Okay,” Bethan agreed.

Seeing Hugh come out of the bathroom, Bethan actually reached out to help him this time.
