Jade stepped forward, retrieving bandages and some antiseptic from the medical kit as she addressed Caelan. "Mr. Kennedy's injury is our priority. Let me bandage it up first."Caelan's gaze shifted to Jade. Meeting her clear eyes, he declined. "We have a professional medical team. Thanks, but no thanks, Ms. Jade."As it turned out, he didn't trust her medical skills. It wasn't just Caelan. Even Leah appeared surprised. She knew Jade very well and understood that medicine was not her expertise."Jade, don't be foolish," Leah said, signaling for her not to insist.Jade didn't want to make a scene, but the injury on Kennedy's ankle was severe. If she didn't intervene, his treatment might be delayed."If we wait for the Fitzgeralds’ professional medical team, Mr. Kennedy's wound might deteriorate. If it gets infected, will you take responsibility?" Jade asked Caelan calmly.This was the first time she had confronted him head-on since her rebirth, and it was far from the warm and tend

"Can't she stay here overnight?" Leah sounded even more displeased."Okay, okay, if you want her to stay, who am I to object? I'll take my leave then," Melvin said.Leah waved her hand, indicating for him to leave. Melvin had no choice but to leave with Neve.After he left, Jade followed Leah back to the room."What's the matter? Do you have something to say?" Earlier outside, Leah had sensed that Jade had wanted to speak but had held herself back. That was why she had called her into the room to have a private conversation.Jade nodded and handed the broken section of the railing to Leah. "Grandma, take a look. I found this next to the pond."The broken railing looked like a clean cut, which clearly indicated that someone had deliberately tampered with it. Their intention must have been to make Leah fall into the pond and make it look like an accident.Leah's heart lurched, but she remained calm on the surface, as if she had anticipated it. "It seems like the other party is get

Gemma's heart settled down instantly, and she looked at Melvin with glowing eyes. "What do you mean?"Melvin got up, put on a shirt, and replied, "I believe you've noticed her resistance in the past few days. What does that indicate? It means you’ve pushed her too hard. The energy that erupts when someone reaches their limit is unimaginable. Otherwise, you wouldn't have lost your position as general manager."Gemma was indignant. "So, even you believe her over me?"Knowing that Melvin was easily swayed by coaxing and not harsh words, Gemma shed a few crocodile tears. As expected, Melvin softened and said, "Still, she's not my biological daughter. If we don't use some special means, how will we get her to obediently follow our orders?"Based on what Melvin said, Gemma understood that he was merely using Jade, which made her feel relieved. However, she wouldn't let that wretch have it so easy. If she dared to resist, she would show her the consequences of rebellion.Jade spent the n

Jade followed Caelan into the castle but noticed that he didn't head to the living room. Instead, he went to the yard.Sitting by the pond, Kennedy was dressed casually, wearing a fisherman's hat and looking deeply engrossed in fishing. When he saw Jade and Caelan approaching, he gestured to them from across the pond, signaling for them to come slowly so they would not startle the fish.The sunlight was intense, giving Kennedy a slightly flushed complexion, but he seemed to be in good spirits.Jade could tell based on the way he looked that his injury wasn't serious. After all, he was sitting and not putting any strain on the wound, so she wasn't too worried."Oh, got a bite, got a bite!" Jade was lost in thought when Kennedy suddenly exclaimed, rapidly spinning the fishing rod.Beneath the calm surface of the pond, a large blue carp churned, breaking through the water. The fish was sizable, caught but reluctant to give in, so it kept struggling to escape.Kennedy shouted when he

The oil in the pan began to smoke, and Jade exclaimed as she hastily added the cut ingredients to the wok. The ingredients hit the hot surface with a sizzle, releasing a fragrant aroma.As Jade wielded the spatula, she noticed Caelan standing there, looking as utterly bewildered as an adorable dog. Her heart softened for a moment."Pass me the soy sauce?" she asked.Caelan scanned the kitchen before picking up a seasoning bottle and handing it over. Jade nearly burst into laughter when she saw it—Caelan had handed her the vinegar instead of the soy sauce."It's over there." Jade suppressed her laughter as she showed him.Caelan, who remained expressionless, felt a bit nervous. This was the first time he had entered a kitchen, and it was unexpectedly troublesome.Jade noticed his unease and found it amusing. However, as she chuckled inwardly, her heart ached.In her previous life, Caelan had been an excellent cook. He had not only been able to cook regular dishes but also dessert
