Margaret was a complete mess, barely able to utter a word, when Kevin, without a second thought, grabbed her and dashed for the elevator, all the while ensuring not a drop of blood stained the floor.
I stared in the direction they had left, wishing I could bore a hole with my gaze, my chest still heaving with anger. "Jane, let's go wash your hands, okay?" Bryant's tone was so gentle that it was like he was coaxing a child, probably afraid of upsettingfurther.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtI looked at him, hesitantly asking, “Aren't you mad atfor hitting her?" That wasn't like Bryant at all. He was supposed to stand up for Margaret and confrontwith righteousness. That was the script.
He sighed, leadingto the restroom, tested the water to ensure it was just right, and pulled my hands under the faucet, applying soap and carefully washing them.
He asked in a low voice, "Didn't your hands hurt by hitting her like that?" I was stunned, barely able to believe those words cfrom him.
I looked down, watching his long, elegant fingers intertwine with mine, and couldn't help but chuckle. There was a twhen just a little sweetness from him would have madehappy for days. But it all just seemed so sad.
He didn't rushfor a response. Instead, he thoroughly washed my hands, then look at the s at the swelling in my palms with a frown.

For a moment, I was almost deluded into thinking things had always been good between us. Bryant had always been that caring, considerate husband. But eventually, reality bit.
I withdrew my hand, looking at the man soon to be my ex-husband, and asked flatly, “What do you plan to do about Margaret?" He asked calmly, "What do you wantto do?" 10:41 Chapter 165 "Will you do whatever I want?" I stared into his eyes, unwavering. I didn't believe he could be so indifferent toward Margaret.

"That's it?" I gave him a half-smile, scrutinizing, "Bryant, she tried to kill your child, and you're just...c om ve indifferent? Sending her abroad, how much are you planning to give her? Five million or ten million a year? That's practically a trip!" He pinched the bridge of his nose, somewhat exasperated. "Then what do you suggest?"
