With that in mind, she grabbed her phone from under the pillow and texted her brother. [Wesley, I'm fine. The skin on my back just split a little. You're absolutely sure no one can trace this back to us, right?]
Wesley Winter: [Relax. I handled it personally. No one will ever pin this on me.]
[But damn, you went hard on yourself. I can't believe you actually took the hit with your own back.]
Jade smirked. [If you're going to put on a show, make it real. If it was just a scratch, Miles wouldn't feel guilty, and he wouldn't feel like he owed me.]
[Right now, he's drowning in guilt. He won't push me away anymore.]
Hearing footsteps approaching in the hallway, Jade quickly locked her screen and shoved the phone back under her pillow.
Miles and his mother walked in one after the other. Seeing Jade's red-rimmed eyes, Judith immediately rushed over.
"Jade, how are you feeling? Is your back still hurting?"
"I had the staff make some nutrient-rich broth and some warm chicken soup. I brought it over for you."
Jade forced a sweet smile. "Thank you, Judith. I'm feeling okay, just uncomfortable because I can't lie flat on my back."
Noticing Jade trying to adjust her position, Judith nudged Miles, signaling him to help her.
Instead, Miles turned to a nearby maid. "Help Ms. Winter roll onto her side. Mind her back."
"Yes, sir."
The maid, brought over from the York estate, set the insulated soup containers down and gently assisted Jade.
"Jade, I just spoke with the doctor."
"Fortunately, the wound on your back didn't hit deep muscle tissue. However, it will likely leave some raised scarring and pigmentation once it heals. Creams won't do much. I'll contact top-tier overseas plastic surgeons who specialize in trauma scar revision for advanced treatments."
"Leave it to me. Just focus on healing."
Jade's fingers curled into tight fists under the sheets. He had ordered a maid to help her instead of doing it himself.
Hearing her natural response, the warmth in Ethan's eyes deepened behind his glasses.
Quinn... was she finally starting to let him into her life?
"Are the little ones asleep?"
"Yes, they're exhausted from playing all day."
"We'll head upstairs first, Mrs. Marshall."
Ethan gave the older woman a polite nod and followed Quinn up the stairs, Caleb resting against his shoulder.
Once inside, Quinn laid the two sleeping children in their beds, wiped their little faces and hands with a damp cloth, and quietly shut the bedroom door.
"Ethan, I'm sorry. I had to lie to the neighbor again."
Ethan had hoped she was slowly accepting his presence in her life. Hearing her instantly revert to being so politely distant stung a little.

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....
