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.

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....
