Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 1660

In the hospital, Keaton lay quietly on the bed. He stared at the ceiling, his mood heavy and oppressive.

Before Beatrix left, her words in the hallway echoed relentlessly in his mind: ‘Are you satisfied now? Is this your idea of taking care of me?’

Her words left a suffocating weight on his chest, making every breath a struggle.

He knew very well that Beatrix was a problem and that what happened tonight was her own doing. But he still couldn’t shake the feelings of self-blame and guilt…

When he suddenly received Beatrix’s text, Keaton sat up and replied, 【How much?】

Beatrix: 【Fifty million dollars.】

Without a second thought, Keaton opened his banking app to transfer the money. But then he thought of Winona and added a question. 【What do you need that much money for?】

Beatrix frowned on her end. 【You never used to ask. Why are you asking now?】

Keaton was silent. “…”

Before he could reply, Beatrix called him. The first thing she asked was, “Is it because of Winona? Are you afraid I’ll use the money to get revenge on her?”

Keaton’s brow furrowed. “Stay away from her. Don’t provoke her.”

Beatrix let out a cold laugh. “She’s ruined me like this, and you’re still protecting her?”

“This wasn’t her doing,” Keaton said flatly. “You did this to yourself.”

“Ha!” Beatrix sneered. “If she didn’t do it, then you did! If it weren’t for you, would my life be like this?”

Keaton had no reply. “…”

Beatrix sniffled hard, demanding, “If she killed me, would you still take her side?”

Keaton’s brow tightened. “She won’t kill you. She might always get her revenge, but she’s fair in her own way. If you don’t provoke her, she won’t bother you.”

“Then how do we settle the score for tonight?” Beatrix asked.

“Consider it even for you sending Alicia to hurt her.”

Beatrix was furious. “All I did was give her a few stitches, but she practically took my life! How is that fair?”

“It is fair!” Keaton retorted. “You hurt her first!”

Beatrix laughed coldly. “You’re so protective of her. If I die at her hands one day, will you avenge me?”
