The Ex-Wife's Triumph novel Chapter 223

Kingsley only stayed in the hospital for two days before insisting on being discharged.

Ethan, annoyed, snapped, "Keep pushing it! When you have a stroke or burst a blood vessel and watch your son call someone else 'Daddy,' see if you don't regret it!"

The words were like a thorn stabbing into Kingsley's heart. His movement to button his cuff paused abruptly, and he shot a cold glance backward. "What are you here for? To make me miserable?"

Ethan looked at the stubborn Kingsley and felt a bellyful of anger with nowhere to vent. "What use are my medical skills if the patient won't cooperate?"

Kingsley didn't reply. Instead, he undid the cuff he had just fastened and simply rolled his shirt sleeves up to his forearms, revealing his sharp, defined wrists. "I know my own body."

"You know nothing!" Ethan laughed in exasperation. "Xavier, if he faints again, don't help him! Let him have that stroke so he has to mumble for the rest of his life. Maybe then he'll finally calm down!"

Ethan felt this money was too hard to earn—not only was the patient uncooperative, but Ethan constantly felt like he was seconds away from being beaten up by Kingsley.

Kingsley ignored his complaints and dropped a faint sentence: "You stay in the ward."

"You, the patient, aren't staying in the ward, so why should I?"

Ethan chased after him unconvinced, draping an arm around Kingsley's shoulder, his tone softening. "I want to go out to sea too, and check out my nephew while I'm at it."

He turned to instruct Xavier, "Xavier, please bring my medical kit, just in case."

"Yes, sir," Xavier responded, but his gaze lingered on Kingsley. The man was still wearing a white dress shirt and black trousers—he didn't look dressed for a boat trip at all.

Hesitating, he reminded him softly, "Mr. Sherwood, would you like to change clothes?"

Kingsley didn't look back. "No need."

As he spoke, he untucked his shirt from his trousers. The formal silhouette instantly gained a sense of relaxed ease, diluting the business vibe.

The three men walked out of the hospital one after another.
