"You're going to need a tetanus shot for that cut."
Last time, her mother-in-law had forced her to stand stubbornly in the pouring rain, leaving her completely exhausted and on the verge of collapsing.
A few weeks before that, she had been hit by a falling object while clearing the attic, leaving a massive bruise on her lower back...
Zachary couldn't even count how many times he had been called to Regency Bay over the years.
"Thank you so much, Dr. Wells."
"Don't mention it."
After carefully bandaging her palm, Zachary stepped out into the hallway and finally realized she was staying in a maid's quarters.
He frowned deeply. "She lives in this room?"
The maid sighed softly. "Yes. Mrs. York insisted she stay in the servant's wing."
Though it was different from the other staff rooms—which were shared—hers was at least private.
She had kept it meticulously clean. There were two cartoon throw pillows on the bed, looking like children's toys.
On the windowsill sat a small, vibrant jasmine plant, its buds giving off a faint, sweet fragrance.
It brought a touch of life to the otherwise bleak and suffocating little room.
Zachary gave the maid a few medical instructions before heading upstairs to find Miles.
"I'm basically your family's personal physician at this point. It hasn't even been that long, and your wife is injured again?"
Miles looked up, a mocking smirk playing on his lips. "It's just a contract. She isn't my wife."
Zachary adjusted his glasses. "If she isn't your wife, then you shouldn't have married her in the first place."
"Is this how you treat someone after making them your legal spouse?" Zachary pressed.
Miles frowned. "The York family hasn't mistreated her."
"It's her own fault for having no..." shame or self-respect.
He cut himself off. A sudden surge of suffocating irritation flooded his chest, and a dark shadow fell over his handsome face.
He had no idea Quinn had gotten so close to Zachary behind his back.
He had severely underestimated this woman.
...
"Jade, Quinn bullied you at the hospital, but I totally got revenge for you today!"
Listening to Macy's bragging over the phone, Jade's eyes sparkled with vicious delight, though she kept her voice dripping with innocence.
"Oh, Macy, do you really think that was a good idea?"
When Quinn had returned to the house, Susan had immediately tipped Macy off.
Macy had rushed straight home to cause trouble, leading to the entire bloody confrontation.
Over the phone, Macy scoffed. "Jade, you're way too nice! She treated you like garbage, and you aren't even mad at her."
"No wonder Miles only loves you. It's been four years, and he still hasn't looked at Quinn twice."

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....
