All Chapters of Side Chick Era… Over: Chapter 241 - Chapter 250

Sharon smiled faintly. "If even the most basic chores are too much for Kelly in your eyes, then I suppose there's nothing more to say."If you're worried Mr. Malcolm might make things hard for her, you could always come with her every day. I doubt he'd mind. Who knows—he might even be moved by your sincerity and toss in your mother's medicine while he's at it."Simon couldn't help glancing at Sharon again.Sincerity.That word made sense when it came to one's own wife. But used in reference to one's mistress—it carried a strange, bitter irony.His mother's medicine now depended on his wife's sincerity, and yet Carter was exhausting himself on another woman's behalf.Of course, Carter wasn't deaf to the sarcasm in her voice. "You don't need to be so passive-aggressive. Even if Kelly is cured, I won't be with her."Sharon raised her brows, as if realization had just dawned. "So it's not about legitimacy that turns you off—it's that you enjoy the thrill of what's forbidden, is that

Uriah had no intention of being polite to doctors like these.Turning to Carter, he said flatly, "I've told you before—I can cure that girl. But if you insist on trusting these quacks, then don't bother coming to me. I can't entertain honored guests like you."There was a quiet certainty in Uriah's voice, so firm that even Carter—who'd still harbored some doubts—couldn't help but start to believe him.He'd already looked into Uriah's background over the past few days.The man's origins were murky at best, but his medical skill was undeniable. He had treated countless patients with so-called terminal illnesses—and succeeded. And it was true, the man was eccentric. He often made bizarre demands of his patients. On this point, Sharon and Uriah hadn't lied.And compared to the conditions he'd placed on others, what he'd asked of Kelly was, in fact, rather mild.With that thought, Carter spoke, "Mr. Malcolm, don't worry. I'll bring Kelly to you first thing tomorrow."Uriah frowned. "

Sharon glanced at Carter, her voice flat. "Let's go."She had known he would show up. Anything—anyone—he might let slip from his attention, but not her. Especially not when Nate's letter of forgiveness was still in her hands.They walked into the courthouse, one ahead of the other.There weren't many people getting married that day, but the divorce counters were lined with couples.Some wore vacant, numb expressions. Some were locked in arguments, voices sharp with accusation. Others cried, begging their partners to reconsider. And there were those who looked eager, even elated—relief written across their faces.As soon as Sharon and Carter entered, an attendant approached them."Mr. Biggs, this way, please."It was clear Carter had made arrangements ahead of time. Of course. If he wanted something done, it got done.A private room. A dedicated clerk. No waiting.As they sat in silence, waiting for the paperwork to be processed, Carter suddenly spoke."Sharon, if you say you

Sharon pulled a small medicine bottle from her bag. "This is Nate's antidote."Nate snatched it up with a speed that bordered on desperation.Carter's gaze, calm and cold as a winter lake, fixed on her. "What about Kelly's?"Sharon replied, "Kelly's medicine will be handed over one month from now, after our divorce is finalized and the 100 million you promised has been transferred to my account."The terms between Sharon and Carter were clear: a clean exchange, nothing left hanging.Although Kelly's illness required a course of treatment rather than a one-time cure, Sharon had promised Carter that Uriah would prepare the full supply of medicine in one go, to avoid any future complications.She also agreed to provide the full prescription, dosage instructions, and a detailed treatment plan in writing.If the medication ran out later, Uriah would continue to supply it.And if the treatment didn't work? Well, no one deceived Carter and walked away unscathed. People didn't just tak

Kelly stared at the black pill in Sharon's hand. A flicker of hesitation crossed her face.Taking medicine when she wasn’t even sick—what if it messed up her body?Nate, for once, had a rare flash of clarity. "Sharon, just because you say it's life-saving medicine doesn't make it so. What if it's poison? What if it actually hurts Kelly?"He turned to Sharon, eyes sharp. "Why don't you try it first? If it's fine, then Kelly can take it."Without a word, Sharon retracted the pill.A cold laugh slipped from her lips. "What is this, the Middle Ages? We're still doing poison testing now? This is a society governed by law. Poisoning someone is a crime. Do you really think I'd kill her right in front of you?"If anything does happen to her, the hospital would find out right away. Do you think I could just walk away from that? If you don't trust me, take the medicine to a lab. Run every test you want."She paused, eyes narrowed."Do you all really think I'm Kelly's servant? That I'd tes
