Chapter 193
Zoe had suffered heavy injuries. Aside from her fractured left arm, there were bruises, cuts, and blunt force trauma all over her body. She needed to be taken care of, but she wouldn’t let Mason do it.
She refused to talk to him or let him feed her. On top of that, she wouldn’t let him clean her up. It was as if she was trying to eject him from her life.
Plates of food were knocked over and fell to the floor. Mason looked at the mess briefly before glancing at Zoe, who was sitting. the bed, “What on earth do you want? Do you want a divorce right now?”
Feeling a tightness in her throat, she responded softly after a brief pause, “I want to transfer to another hospital! And yes, I want a divorce!”
He glared at her while a nurse walked in, saw the mess on the floor, cleaned it up, and left the ward quietly. Then, he walked to the window
and turned his back to her.
Wearing a white shirt and black long pants, he looked stunningly sharp. After a long pause, he walked out of her ward.
An hour later, Mia was sent to her ward to take care of her. The moment Mia saw the state Zoe was in, she burst into tears. Brushing her fingers across the various injuries on Zoe, she tried to compose herself. In the end, she couldn’t do it and cried out loud.
She stammered, “Your dad couldn’t sleep for two straight days ever since we heard you got into an accident. It was so bad that we had to feed him some sleeping pills!
“Mason had reserved the entire floor for you and forbidden anyone else from entering here. Fortunately, Ella stayed with us for the past

Then, she touched Zoe’s left arm and completely lost it. Tears
streamed down her cheeks as she sobbed, unable to utter a single word
She had no idea what she was going to say to Gordon or Zoe’s late mother Zoe didn’t have an easy life at all! Her career was on the verge of taking off just a few days ago. Now, however…
“Mia!” Zoe’s lips were trembling when she leaned on her stepmother’s shoulder Then, tears fell onto Mia’s shirt
Mie was hugging Zoe very tightly, sensing the indescribable pain her stepdaughter was going through.

ne stirred the coffee with a delicate spoon. Not long after, the entire office was filled with the scent of coffee. It smelled good with a hint of bitterness.
Putting down the spoon, she raised her eyes, looked at Mason, and said slowly,

“I like you very much and I mean it when I say I wish both of you could love each other until the end of time! Gordon and I are very grateful for your help a while back.”
He said, “It was just the right thing to do, Mia!”
She shook her head, lowered her gaze, and smiled bitterly. “It used to be that you and Zoe had a bad relationship. She didn’t dare to ask for more money from you even though our family was in a pinch!
“However, you put in so much effort to show that you cared about her a while back. Zoe wasn’t the only person moved by your actions, we were too. Even Gordon was starting to change his mind about you.
“Now, however, it’s a little unseemly if we continue to accept your good intentions. So, given the way things are between the both of your right now, we’re going to stop thinking of you as our son-in-law. It just seems inappropriate.”
He clenched his fists but said nothing.
Mia maintained her composure and grace. The fact was that she was a hothead as well, but she kept her cool for her stepchildren’s sake. She was worried that he might do Noah dirty. She was even more concerned that he might refuse to let Zoe go.
