Chapter 60
“Gregory gave a slight nod. When he felt Fiona’s resentful gaze on film, he turned to look at her.
Sensing the tension, the doctor quickly explained, “Given Mrs. Jacobson’s current condition, I reduced the dosage of the
sedative
That was why Fiona hadn’t fallen asleep and was instead glaring attiregory. If looks could kill, he would have been for apart on the spot.
For a moment, the ward tell into silence
The doctor wiped away a cold sweat.
From what Fiona had just said, it wasn’t hard to guess that she was Gregory’s mother–in–law. That put him in a tough spot–he couldn’t afford to offend either side.
“You can leave now,” Gregory said calmly after a brief pause.
The doctor hesitated, then cautiously asked, “Mr. Sinclair, should inform your family of your injury?”
At those words, Fiona’s fierce gaze flickered with guilt. After all, she was the one who’d struck first. If Gregory decided to
to purse the matter, Anathea would inevitably be dragged into it. That thought filled Fiona with regret. She wished she had controll her temper better.

Fiona was shaken by the hatred in his eyes. It was so intense, it was as though he wanted to tear Adam apart.
No wonder he treated Anathea this way, Marrying his enemy’s daughter was already a humiliation. And now, Gregory had to see her every day and constantly be reminded of the past.
“But some things aren’t as simple as they seem-

Gregory had no intention of wasting more time. He glanced at his watch and said emotionlessly, “I have things to do. Goodbye”
With that, he stood up and walked toward the door.
“So, what do you plan to do with Nat?” Fiona suddenly asked just to he grabbed the doorknob,
Her question made him pause.
