Steam curled up from the basin, warming Jeremy's face.He couldn't help smiling."Jane, if anyone saw you washing my feet, I bet a lot of people would want to kill me."Jane shot him a displeased look."Stop talking nonsense. Don't say things like 'kill me.' It sounds awful."She pressed harder with her hands as if she had thought of Eric."Anyone who tries to hurt you will have to deal with me first."Jeremy scratched his head and explained, "That's not what I meant, Jane. I meant you're so beautiful that you must have tons of people chasing after you. If they saw you washing my feet, they'd be jealous enough to hate me for it."Only then did Jane understand. The chill in her expression melted into a smile."Well, obviously. Not just anyone gets this kind of treatment. You're the only one who gets this privilege, and you don't even appreciate it."The two chatted and laughed.Suddenly, a noise came from the door.Before either of them could react, the door swung open."Je

"Don't be scared. She's not a bad person. From now on, we're all family."At that, Jane looked over, her beautiful eyes narrowing dangerously."So, you're Wendy. Thank you for bringing Jem his meal."Her tone was gentle and nothing like the one she had used with Camilla.Wendy, who was still rather innocent and naive, felt flattered. She greeted Jane in a timid and barely audible voice."Hi, Jane."Those two words made Jane pause. The irritation that had just flared up vanished without a trace.She rose slowly and strode over to Wendy, taking the food containers from her."I'll take those. Sit down and have some water.""Oh, okay."Wendy nodded stiffly and sat on the little stool beside the bed, letting Jane take care of the food.Leaning forward, she finally looked at Jeremy's cast and asked the question she'd been holding back."Jeremy, does your hand hurt?"Jeremy paused, then smiled and ruffled her hair with his right hand."It stopped hurting ages ago. They just need

A mocking smile tugged at the corner of Angela's lips.She let go, and the lunchbox dropped straight to the floor.Bam!Under Zachary's shocked gaze, the food spilled everywhere. The smell of rice was strange and sour.He whipped around and stared at Angela with bloodshot eyes."You… You did that on purpose!"His chest heaved as his entire body trembled with rage.Angela remained perfectly calm."Jeremy is kind enough to not hold this against you. Everyone else is busy taking care of him and doesn't have the time to bother with you. But I'm different. I've got all the time in the world."Just then, her phone buzzed with a new message.Angela picked it up. It was from Jeremy."Angela, where did you go? You're not in your room. Let me come check on your hand."Her hand froze for a moment, and a smile crept into her eyes. She stared at the message for a while before finally giving in and typing a reply."So, you do remember to check on me? Weren't you busy with other women?"

Having said his piece, Ralph couldn't bear to stay another second and stormed out of the ward.Zachary was left staring blankly after him."I'm going to see my father?"A mocking smile tugged at his lips.He, a half-dead man, was going to visit another living corpse who would never get out of prison?That actually sounded kind of interesting.…After Ralph left, he slipped the phone into his pocket and strode purposefully toward another ward.The air around him seemed to grow heavier with every step.He reached for the doorknob and pushed the door open.The first thing he saw was Camilla washing lunchboxes and dishes at the sink.Ralph's expression darkened even further.Camilla didn't seem to notice his arrival. With water splashing around in the sink, she hummed softly to herself, looking almost content.The veins on Ralph's forehead bulged. He gripped the doorknob so tightly he nearly crushed it."What the hell do you think you're doing?"Ralph finally snapped. He sto

After Ralph left, the room fell silent. Camilla continued washing the dishes.She took on the task to show Jeremy she was still useful. A while ago, she told Jeremy that since Wendy cooked, she would do the dishes and go home afterward. When he didn't object, she was happy.Naturally, when she said she was taking it home, she meant taking it back to Solara Gardens. Then, she would hire Wendy to cook for them again and bring Jeremy home once he got discharged. It made her so happy she started humming.However, Ralph's visit ruined her mood. Annoyed, Camilla tossed a spoon aside.Suddenly, someone behind her said coldly, "Is this already too much for you?"Shocked, Camilla quickly turned around. Her expression turned cold when she saw who it was."Jane? Why didn't you make any noise when you came in? Trying to scare me or something?"Jane shot her a glance, then promptly shoved her away from the sink. "Don't do it if you don't want to. I can't believe you're trying to win Jeremy o
