Chapter 417
Zoe kept mumbling in a trance, “I didn’t, Mason. I didn’t do it with him!”
Holding the cup of herbal tea in her hand, Layla couldn’t help but to nag again, “Look what you’ve done to poor Zoe! She was passed out, but she’s still trying to prove to you that she’s loyal to you!”
Looking at the door, he ordered, “Get out of here and bring Ava to me
when she’s here.”
That was when Layla caught herself and stopped talking.
half an hour later, Ava came to the manor with the doctor. It
raining outside. She didn’t dare ask about it on the phone Now that she finally saw Zoe with her own eyes, she was cked to the core, but she kept quiet about it and didn’t say anything unnecessary.
On the other hand, it took the female doctor one glance to know what was going on.
She gave Zoe an injection and said with a blank expression, “You can’t have sex with her when she has a high fever! You need to be more careful with it in the future. She could very well die from it.”
Mason didn’t care to hear all this, but he bit his tongue.
The fem
doctor left not long after, but Ava stood there. Wiping the sweat on him, she asked him softly, “Did she find out about the truth?” Then, she hesitated for a while before adding, “Should I call Gabriela?”
He responded lightly, “That won’t be necessary!”
Ava saw his response and zipped it. Sweeping her eyes across the bedroom, she knew he hadn’t had any food yet. “I’ll ask Layla to send

some food up here… Now that Ms. Zoe is back at your side, you’ll have to start taking care of yourself.”
Sitting by the window, he looked at Zoe quietly and said in a husky
voice, “She had a shot at happiness! Why did she have to be so
foolish and come back to me? I’ve never treated her as well as I
should.”
What he said disheartened her. She said, “She loves you. That’s why!”
Smiling bitterly, he lowered his head and looked at his feet. He needed help with the most basic things in life. He wouldn’t be able to go out of the manor in his current state. That meant he wouldn’t be able to attend parties with her. Hell, he couldn’t even have dinner with her in public.
It’d be mighty selfish of him if he did accept and let her be with him again!
Ava could just guess what he was thinking right now. She said softly, It’s only normal if you’re selfish about love! Moreover, you guys have two children together. Mr. Mason, maybe you should…”
He didn’t let her finish. Cutting her off, he said gently, home now! My appetite’s gone for the time being.”
“You may return
Ava wanted to keep talking, but the words got stuck in her throat.
In the end he merely walked out of the bedroom and closed the door behind nei.
By the time Zoe woke up, it was already the middle of the night.
The rain had long stopped. All that was left was the quiet drip-drop of the raindrops that were clinging to the roof, further accentuating the absolute silence of the night.

She had a high fever.
Just as she was waking up, she couldn’t tell if it was day or night. She didn’t know where she was, but she did find the crystal chandelier on the ceiling somewhat familiar.
Then, it hit her. She was waking up in her and Mason’s bedroom.
The crystal chandelier on the ceiling had shaken many times when they lost themselves in the bodily pleasures, his voice reverberating in her ears as he panted seductively.
All of a sudden, her earlier memories came flooding back. She took the lead and initiated the whole thing with him. Then, she felt it when he fervently thrust into her. She might’ve been passed out, but she still recalled how tantalizing it felt.
The fact was, she was turned on a lot.
It could’ve been age, or because Mason truly loved her. That was why she could feel pleasure oozing out of her even if he talked to her
most disrespectfully.
“Are you awake?”
She heard a husky voice from somewhere near the window. Propping herself up, she looked at him. He was sitting in a wheelchair, holding a bottle of pills in his left hand.
She was unned by the sight.
She recognized the bottle of pills. In the early years of their marriage, he’d force her to take the same pills every time they had sex.
