Macy grabbed her cousin's arm and dragged her out, leaving Miles and Jade alone in the room.
Sienna found the whole setup highly inappropriate. Her cousin was a married man. Why was Macy playing matchmaker and pushing him toward another woman?
Once they were out in the hall, she shot Macy an incredulous look. "Macy, Miles has a wife. How could you just push him toward Jade like that?"
Macy’s expression turned icy. "What wife? It's just a contract marriage. Who the hell does Quinn Avery think she is?"
"Macy, no matter what it is, they are still legally married. You're encouraging him to cheat emotionally. It's wrong!"
"Sienna, I don't need you telling me what to do. Jade and my brother grew up together. If it weren't for Quinn, they would have been married by now. Ugh!"
Judith finished speaking with the doctor and noticed the two girls bickering.
She hurried over. "Macy, Sienna, what are you arguing about? Let's go. Don't disturb Jade."
...
Inside the room, Miles softened his footsteps, his usual cold demeanor melting away.
"Jade, don't worry about the scars. I'll get you the absolute best specialists in the field."
Hearing the warmth and concern in his voice, Jade decided that even if a faint scar remained on her back, it was completely worth it.
She masked the calculated gleam in her eyes and tried to sit up, wincing as if in pain.
Miles stepped forward immediately, propping a pillow behind her side.
"Tell me when you want to roll over. Staying in one position for too long will hurt."
"Thank you, Miles. I can bear it."
Jade grabbed his sleeve, her beautiful eyes brimming with tears, looking utterly wronged.
She looked like a woman who would gladly suffer any catastrophe for him and his family.

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....
Can you make Ethan be the endgame? That Miles is a total jerk....
