Chapter 115

Author: Ninth Cup
Just thinking about what Chris had said earlier made Dominic’s skin crawl.

He tried to talk sense into Zac. “Since when does Chris talk like that? Let it go. Walk away. Find someone else.”

He dipped a cotton swab into the ointment and reached for Zac’s face.

Zac brushed his hand away. “You think I’m you? You think I can just switch to someone else like it means nothing?”

“Hey,” Dominic snapped. “Just because you’re taking shots at Chris doesn’t mean you get to take shots at me too.”

    Just thinking about what Chris had said earlier made Dominic’s skin crawl. He tried to talk sense into Zac. “Since when does Chris talk like that? Let it go. Walk away. Find someone else.”He dipped a cotton swab into the ointment and reached for Zac’s face.Zac brushed his hand away. “You think I’m you? You think I can just switch to someone else like it means nothing?”“Hey,” Dominic snapped. “Just because you’re taking shots at Chris doesn’t mean you get to take shots at me too.”He pointed at him. “Do you have any idea how ugly today would’ve gotten if I hadn’t stepped in? There’s a line you don’t cross. Your friend’s wife is off-limits.”Dominic had heard the dirtier version of that saying too, but he wasn’t about to repeat it in front of Zac.Because the second Zac stopped playing nice, he would go all in.And if Zac went all in, Chris would go even harder.Then all the years of friendship between them would be gone in an instant.Zac lowered his eyes to his hand.

    Chris picked up the cup on the coffee table like it was nothing. “It’s a small scrape. I’m fine.”Skyla’s hand paused for a beat, but her expression didn’t change. Her voice stayed soft. “Then be careful when you shower. If it gets wet, dry it right away. Scrapes heal faster that way.”She passed the ointment and cotton swabs to Mrs. Young. “Since he doesn’t want it, please put it away.”Chris’s gaze dropped to Skyla’s knees. She followed his line of sight and realized that several raindrops from the storm outside had landed on her skirt, leaving visible damp spots on the deep blue fabric.“Dry yourself off,” Chris said.Skyla murmured, “Okay.” Then, remembering how much he valued cleanliness, she worried he might be annoyed. She nudged her wheelchair back a little, putting some space between their knees.Her caregiver crouched down with tissues and dabbed at the wet spot.Outside, it was rainy and cold. Inside, the house was warm.Skyla reached for the cup on the table. Her ha

    Mrs. Young had never been spoken to like that in this house.Winter was the complete opposite. She was easygoing, playful, and generous. She never put on airs. Sometimes she even joked around with Mrs. Young and acted like she was family.Chris was colder by nature, but he was still polite. He never ordered Mrs. Young around.That said, Mrs. Young was in her fifties. She had seen plenty in her life.“Mr. Xander is in his study,” she said evenly. “Before he came back, he told me not to let anyone disturb him.”Skyla heard the hint perfectly. She gave a small laugh. “You’re Mrs. Young, right?”“Yes, Ms. Jasper.”“It’s fine if you don’t know me,” Skyla said, still smiling. “But you can’t do this next time.”She ignored the clear refusal and lifted a hand to signal her caregiver. “Let’s go upstairs.”Mrs. Young hurried forward to stop her, but she had barely taken one step before Skyla’s bodyguard blocked her path.“What’s going on here?”A cold voice cut in.“Chris.” Skyla tur

    By early evening, Skyla finally heard that Chris had hit Zac at the hospital around lunchtime.She immediately told her caregiver to have the car brought around and headed to Blackwood Manor.On the way, she almost called Dominic, but while Dominic was loose-lipped about plenty of things, he kept his mouth shut when it came to Chris and Zac. She doubted she would get anything useful from him.“Where did Mr. Xander hit Dr. Davis today?” she asked the bodyguard in the front seat.“At the ENT department of the hospital owned by the Xander Corporation,” he said. “We only heard that Mr. Xander hit Dr. Davis. We don’t know anything else.”ENT.Skyla repeated the letters in her head, and Winter’s face flashed through her mind.Of course. Today was Winter’s follow-up for her eardrum.How had she forgotten?Chris was fiercely loyal. He had always treated Zac and Dominic well. People even joked that those two were his real brothers, and that Steve was the outsider.Chris wouldn’t hit Z

    The tech kept asking questions, but his eyes kept flicking toward the man standing by the exam table. He wore rimless glasses and gave off a cold, intimidating vibe. Without even realizing it, the tech’s voice turned more careful.Winter shifted just enough to slip out from under the hand at her waist. “It’s happening a lot less. I only experience ringing once in a while, usually when I see people I dislike or have to deal with things I find repulsive. Much like right now.”The tech nearly swallowed his tongue. The jab was obvious. He just wasn’t going to say who it was aimed at.He cleared his throat. “Well… staying calm and keeping your stress down does help healing.”“Thanks, I’ll keep that in mind,” Winter said.Winter had barely stood up when Chris’s hand returned to her waist. He yanked her to the side and dragged her out of the exam room. At the door, he let go when she tried to pull away, then reached down and caught her wrist. “Where are you going?”“Somewhere my ear

    Outside the ENT exam room, Winter stopped and said to Zac, “I can go in on my own. You should get back to work.”Before last night, every time she called him “Zac,” it made him feel like they were still the same as they had always been.But after what happened, he suddenly felt a new kind of pull between them. Something that had stretched across three years. Something he didn’t want to miss again.He stayed where he was, smiled, and nodded. “Okay.”Winter went into the exam room. She followed the doctor’s instructions and lay on her side on the exam table, waiting for the scope.Even though she had been through the exam once before, her nerves still tightened when she saw the doctor walk over holding a thin scope only a few millimeters wide. The moment she pictured it sliding into her ear canal, her scalp prickled.“Hold still.”A warm hand gently supported the back of her head, and a calm voice said, “It won’t hurt.”Winter froze.In the reflection of the dark monitor, she ca

    Winter’s cheeks were flushed pink from the alcohol.“I’m getting divorced because I’m happy,” she declared loudly. “If I’m happy, why can’t I say it out loud?”Then she suddenly giggled. “Do you guys know why I’m getting divorced?”Everyone at the table lived for gossip. They had been too polite

    Winter’s drowsiness vanished in an instant. She sat straight up in bed.Her long hair fell over her shoulders, covering most of her face. She took several deep breaths, then pushed her hair back and rubbed her face hard.Jacob was trash. Whether he lived or died had nothing to do with her.Before

    She had thought, maybe this was for the best. If she died, there would be no more pain. And even if there was, someone would finally care.She could be with her parents again.Then the crash of a door being kicked in shattered the silence. Instinct forced her eyes open. Through the thick smoke, sh

    “Then tell me this,” Winter said, stepping forward. “Why did it have to be here?”Beneath her feet, the cement still held the tiny footprints she had left when she was one year old.Her parents had carried her in their arms and pressed her little feet into the wet concrete together.She was home.
