Chapter 18

Author: Summer Blossom
Macie didn't answer Edward's first question. There was no need to. But as for the second, since it involved access to the house, she explained, "I contacted your assistant. He's your employee and has been to the house a few times. He won't leak your address. You trust him as well."

Edward lost his temper immediately. He wanted to blurt out what was truly on his mind, but what came out was, "So what if he's my employee? He was there when you were home, but you weren't there this time!"

It was just an excuse to vent his frustration because he couldn't say the real reason out loud.

Why would she rather call Nathan than call him a second time? Was it just because he hung up on her once? Hadn't she ignored hundreds of his calls before?

The thought that Macie would rather turn to an outsider than to him was driving him insane.

Macie was silent on the other end of the line for a few seconds.

She knew that Edward didn't like strangers entering his house, which was precisely why she had c

  • Who's the One Regretting Now?   Chapter 895

    After hearing that, Elias stared at Macie on the hospital bed, dumbfounded.Without meeting his gaze, Macie lowered her gaze and added, "I used the dividends from Brightech Studios these past two years to buy a small house. So, please stop targeting Julian. He's a good man."Elias pursed his lips and fell silent. Then, he turned to look at Julian, who was still standing outside the ward. "Why didn't you explain yourself then? You clearly had the chance yesterday," he questioned.Elias wondered if Macie was covering for this man, or… "Macie didn't want Edward to know, so I kept it to myself," Julian answered. "Besides, I'm grateful to her. Had she not secured Mr. Fowler Senior's investment at the time, Brightech Studios wouldn't have taken off that swiftly."Elias went quiet once again. After a few seconds, he looked back at the young woman on the hospital bed and said, "Get some rest. I'll catch Sharon and the other criminals and leave them breathing so you can deal with them lat

    Elias didn't bother arguing with Alice. He sidestepped her and walked out the door with Julian in tow.Macie, who was on the hospital bed behind them, watched Julian stumble as Elias dragged him by the collar and cried out, "Stop right there!"Illness had left her too weak for words, and though she summoned every bit of her strength, her voice was only a thin, rasping whisper. Weak as it was, her voice cut through the room and made Elias halt in his steps. "Let go of Julian," she added, clutching the thin blanket tightly. Elias spun around to look at her. Macie held his gaze, calm and unfeeling."You have no right to lay a hand on my friend," she said, her expression dark and distant. Elias flinched at the look in her eyes. Pain shot through his chest, and he slowly released his grip. Macie was right—he had no right, not when she still refused to acknowledge him as her older brother.After being released, Julian straightened his tie and said tactfully, "Rest well, Macie. I'

    Macie, who was lying on the hospital bed, pressed her lips together when she heard that. She, too, thought that the Hales were overstepping.Julian sat beside her bed and updated her on the company's latest developments."Julian, could you ask Mr. Stellan for an extended leave on my behalf? I left my phone at home and can't reach him," Macie requested.He responded, "Sure. Don't worry about work. Focus on getting better first."While they were chatting, Sean walked in, carrying breakfast. "I personally bought this. Even Alice doesn't get this kind of treatment," he said as he set the food on the side table."Thank you—" Macie started."I don't need you to thank me. I merely want you to eat a little since I made the trip," he cut her off, opening the container.Alice took the oatmeal and fed Macie, while Sean adjusted the bed's headrest to a comfortable height. Edmund and Mira, who were outside in the ward, felt a mix of relief, happiness, and deep sadness when they noticed Mac

  • Who's the One Regretting Now?   Chapter 892

    Macie turned to the window, caught a glimpse of Edmund and Mira, and apathetically looked away before telling Alice, "Can you tell whoever's blocking the door that I want to see Julian?"Alice immediately left the ward to speak with Edmund and Mira, who were gazing at Macie. The middle-aged couple was aware of what Julian had done and the reason Elias had forbidden him from visiting Macie, so neither of them said a single word."Julian is May's friend, Mr. and Mrs. Hale. After she left the Fowler residence, she even joined his company. He has always looked out for her at work, so I don't think you should stop her from seeing him."After hearing that, Edmund responded, "She's not feeling well right now. Maybe another time.""Don't you think that she would have an issue with you for stopping Julian from coming up and deciding everything on her behalf, while also attempting to control who she can see?" Alice questioned. "May barely has any friends. It's pretty much just me and Julian,

    Macie, who had been lying with her head turned to the other side, slowly opened her eyes. She turned to look at Alice, tears rolling down the corners of her eyes. Alice pulled out a tissue to wipe away her tears, her heart a jumble of emotions. "I want to go home…" Macie told Alice. She wanted to go home, to her own place—like a snail retreating into its shell to escape the world for a while."When your condition improves, I'll help you with the discharge paperwork," Alice promised.Macie shook her head. "I want to leave now…" Alice hesitated. Even though Macie had come to and her body was healing, she still needed daily checkups and IV drips, so she couldn't leave the hospital that soon.Just then, Sean said from behind, "You'll still have to face them even if you go home." He could pretty much guess what was on Macie's mind and why she was so eager to leave the hospital."What's done is done. Sooner or later, you'll have to face them and make a choice. Whether you accept them

    Alice glanced at Julian, then at the unyielding Mitch. She thought about calling Elias, but remembered how Julian had been blocked by Elias just the day before."Why won't your boss let him see Macie? I can understand not letting Edward up, but why would he stop a friend of Macie's?" she demanded.Looking at Julian, Mitch answered, "Mr. Atkins knows the reason."Her brows knitted as she turned her head to ask Julian, "What's the reason?"However, Julian didn't answer. The Hales believed that Macie had married Edward and suffered many hardships because of him, so they held a grudge against him.Even though Macie had stated from the very beginning that she married Edward because she liked him, it was true that Brightech Studios received a ten-million-dollar investment because of her. Julian had benefited from it, and she had done both the company and him a huge favor, so he chose not to explain.Noticing his silence, she snapped, "Seriously? Why are you clamming up now? What could
