He savored the tranquility, the stifling frustration of the past few days finally settling into a calm rhythm.
His appetite even improved. One plate of food wasn't enough, so he asked Gail for half a portion more.
Gail chuckled. "Mr. York, it's rare to see you ask for seconds."
"Yeah."
However, this warm, peaceful atmosphere didn't last long before it was shattered by the voices of his mother and sister outside.
Jack hurried into the room. "Mr. York, Ms. Avery, Mrs. York and Macy are here. Jade is with them."
Miles set down his silverware and quickly walked out.
Judith York and Macy walked in, while Jade was being carefully supported by a maid.
"Mom, why was Jade discharged so early? Hasn't her back injury not fully healed yet?"
Judith spoke as she made her way into the living room. "Jade said she wanted to be discharged. She didn't want to stay in the hospital to recover."
Miles felt a mix of surprise and irritation. "Mom, isn't this reckless? I saw the wound on her back yesterday, and it was still bleeding..."
Jade's delicate face was pale, her beautiful eyes looking pitiful. Her voice was weak and soft.
"Miles, the wound on my back has stopped bleeding. I asked the doctor, and he agreed I could recover at home. He said staying in the hospital too long isn't good for the healing process."
Miles walked over to Jade's side, cautious not to bump her injury.
"Why didn't you call me when you were discharged?"
Jade curled her fingers slightly, her tone gentle. "Miles, I knew you were busy, so I didn't want to bother you."
*If I called you, how could I guarantee you'd let me move into Regency Bay?*
Macy dropped her designer bag and slumped onto the sofa.
"Miles, Jade is right. The doctor said she's finished all her IV drips. The rest is just slow recovery. There's no need to stay in the hospital."

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....
