Miles York ended the call, a heavy expression settling over his features.
He had just been about to greet Mr. Pierce, but his footsteps ground to a halt.
"Quinn, Jade saved Macy from a falling billboard and got seriously hurt. I have to go to the hospital right now."
Quinn Avery was slightly taken aback. He never bothered to explain his whereabouts to her. Why the sudden transparency today?
But it was just a flicker of surprise. She offered no response.
Seeing her silence, Miles turned, briefly greeted Mr. Pierce, and strode away.
"Mommy, who got hurt?"
"That weird uncle seemed really worried about her."
"Someone we don't know well."
"Oh."
Quinn's phone rang. It was Ethan Leigh. "Quinn, I'm back from my business trip. I'm driving over to pick you all up."
Quinn smiled. "Luna, Daddy's here to pick us up."
Luna leaned in close to the phone, her sweet, childish voice melting through the speaker. "Daddy, you're back!"
"Yeah, Daddy's waiting for you outside the estate."
As Miles climbed into his black Bentley, he caught sight of a familiar figure standing by a car, talking on the phone. The man’s expression was gentle, completely oblivious to his surroundings.
It was Ethan Leigh. What was he doing here?
Miles had never seen that look on Ethan's face before. He seemed so genuinely happy—was he on the phone with a girlfriend?
But there was no time to ask questions. Miles urgently directed the driver to the hospital.
...
St. Jude's Medical Center.
Jade Winter lay on her side in the hospital bed, nursing severe bruising on her shoulder and back. The doctor had given her a few stitches, and she was terrified of scarring.
"Miles, you're finally here! Jade got hit in the back and shoulder by a billboard trying to save me."
"Son, it was terrifying. Thank God Jade pushed Macy out of the way, or her beautiful face would have been ruined."
Sienna stood off to the side, her brows furrowed slightly.
Something felt off. The billboard hadn't fallen a second sooner or a second later—it had dropped exactly when Macy walked beneath it.
It didn't sit right with her, but she couldn't deny that Jade really had saved her cousin.
Miles looked at Jade's pale face, tracing the tear tracks on her cheeks and the faint lines of suffering etched between her brows.
She looked like she was suffering in silence, trying not to burden him with her pain.
A suffocating wave of guilt and pity washed over him.
Macy decided it was time to give her brother and Jade some privacy. "Jade, my parents will get you the best dermatologist. You won't scar."
"Miles, Mom and I are going to step out. Stay and keep Jade company."

Lol.. this guy is a complete fool , I dont know how he is the top predator , he rather believes Jade than Doctor's diagnosis 🙄 he is rich , if he didn't believe that particular doc ,he cud take her to another doctor. N he says he thinks of her as sis I mean no brother is this obsessed with his sis ,he does have a bio sis, he doesnt behave with her like that....
Whats wrong with grandparents in this kind of stories? They force the wife to stay even if she is miserable bcos they believe their grandson loves her but never tell how a married guy shud behave just enabling his behavior. 😏...
He can be friends with Jade with no boundaries but she cant be friends with Ethan? Such hypocrisy. So he does know the way he is being with Jade is wrong and still does it...
This guy brought the kid against her mom's wishes and he doesn't even respect her n when her kids are hurt she can't even fight? What gives him the right? He is just plain disgusting...
Why does he have authority over other kids? Why wud he send his assistant to bring the kids over against their mom's wishes? This guy is just stupid ,it's like a mad n stupid dog sitting on money n just doing whatever he feels like without an ounce of respect for others....
You are just a snob and holier than thou person....
His aristocratic upbringing stopped him from losing composure? Seriously , his aristocratic upbringing is not that great , he got no morals , only using underhanded tactics on a helpless individual . He got money ,so it's a viable sophistry when his heart is rotten. When the winter's family is in the wrong ,why is he scared of them attacking his wife and the winter's family doesn't even give him a shot n he still acts like a dog for them. Please don't make him the endgame for her....
It's for her own good . He is afraid of Arthur Quinn ? I mean what use is he as a husband when he's afraid of someone will ruin his wife's career n already had done once and he still doesn't have the guts to stand up for her? He can only show his power n abuse on innocent ones with no background like his wife? How disgusting is he? N he thinks he's above everyone and even when he looks down upon someone bcos she is a maid's daughter , when he is this spineless?...
Why only one episode uploading for the last 2 days?...
I would have accepted the jerk husband ending up with the heroine if he’s only powerful, intelligent but he’s so powerless and so stupid....
