“Oh? Getting mad because you’re embarrassed? I thought if you were bold enough to force the wife to divorce, you’d already thrown your shame out the window.”

“Girl, life is short. You could be anything, yet you chose to be a mistress.”

Zoey was shouted down, one line after another.

Sheltered all her life by her parents and Alfred, she’d never faced anything like this. Her face went pale with rage.

Unable to argue back, she turned her anger on the indifferent Nella standing nearby.

“You’re just going to stand there and watch them humiliate me?”

Nella shrugged and smiled at her.

“Should I close my eyes instead?”

“Pfft!”

Someone in the crowd couldn’t hold back and laughed.

Zoey’s face turned livid. She clutched her chest as if she might faint from

anger at

second.

Seeing her expression, the crowd worried things might escalate. Just then, the elevator they were waiting for arrived, and someone called out, “The elevator’s here. Let’s stop wasting time and go up.”

“Yeah, yeah, let’s go.”

Once the group entered the elevator, only Nella and Zoey were left behind.

Zoey’s hand trembled as she pointed at Nella.

“I’m definitely filing a complaint against you.”

“Be my guest.”

“What… Just you wait.”

Watching Zoey’s retreating figure fade into the distance, the smile at the corner of Nella’s lips. slowly disappeared.

She recalled Zoey’s words about Alfred promising to marry her once she returned.

Now she finally understood why Alfred cared so much about Zoey, yet still entered a contract marriage with her.

Zoey was overseas getting treatment. He needed a woman to deal with Regis, and at the same time, hold the place of Mrs. Keywood for Zoey.

So he needed someone mild-tempered, obedient, and easy to manage.

That

way, when the time came, she’d be easy to send away.

She wouldn’t cling and refuse to let

Realizing this, Nella took a deep breath.

The dull ache in her chest seemed to ease a little.

“Alfred really went to a lot of trouble,” Nella murmured softly, looking up at the sky.

Dark clouds piled together overhead, ready to burst into rain at any moment.

No wonder the air feels heavy and irritating.

She sighed quietly to herself.

Before the rain could fall, she jogged toward the surgical building.

Today, she only had two surgeries scheduled, but both were major ones.

When the operations ended, it was right on time for the end of her shift.

Jasmine said to her, “I’ve set a time with my friend to go look at the apartment after work. Once we change, we’ll head straight over.”

Nella nodded. “Okay.”

After changing and leaving the surgical building, Nella made another stop by hospital security.

At Emerald Vista Bay.

Alfred felt like he was sick.

Not just with a cold and a fever. His heart was sick too.

Thinking about the distant look in Nella’s eyes when she faced him made his chest tighten.

Realizing she no longer cared about him the way she used to made his heart ache.

He’d never felt this kind of helpless unease before.

Maybe … just maybe … I really am sick.

“Cough, cough…”

He’d been coughing all morning, as if his lungs might burst at any moment.
