Continue Regular Chapter Reading Below Chapter 23 Samuel looked at Jayceon with disbelief etched across his face. "So you're really not going to say a word?

You're just relying on her blind loyalty, expecting her to suffer through this without a single explanation?" Jayceon lifted his glass in a casual toast. "You're making this sound worse than it is." Just then, Samuel's phone buzzed sharply. "Samuel Brennan! Is my brother there with you?!" Kimberly's frantic voice burst through the speaker, thick with panic. Samuel pulled the phone away from his ear, trying to keep his cool. "Hey, watch your tone, you little menace. Just call me Sam." "I'll call you whatever I want! Something's wrong with Arabella!

Get him home right now!" Outside, the rain hammered steadily, drumming against the windows as night deepened. By the time Samuel managed to get Jayceon back to the house, the doctor had already left. Jayceon moved silently to Arabella's bedside, his gaze immediately locking onto her alarmingly pale complexion. Even in sleep, her brow was creased, her eyelashes wet as if she were caught in a terrible dream. He reached out and took her hand-it was burning hot to the touch. When he left earlier, she had been vibrant, full of energy, ready to argue with him. How had she fallen so ill so quickly?

If he hadn't seen it himself, he might never have believed it. In his mind, Arabella was always the picture of health-the kind of woman who could hold a plank for ten minutes straight. He turned to Kimberly, needing answers. "When did the fever start?" Kimberly's voice was tense. "I couldn't get hold of her, and you weren't answering either. Mom was worried you'd had a fight, so she sent me over. I found Arabella lying in the courtyard, soaked by the rain. No idea how long she'd been there." Samuel gave Jayceon a knowing nudge.

"Did you two argue before you left?" Jayceon's face darkened, storm clouds gathering in his eyes. "You both can leave." Kimberly hesitated but added, "She's had fever reducers. The doctor said to use cool compresses and check her temperature every hour. If it keeps rising, she needs to go to the hospital." Jayceon gave a curt nod, his mind already racing through what to do next. Samuel pulled Kimberly aside, teasing her about an old grudge, trying to lighten the mood. Suddenly, she grabbed his collar with a firm grip. "You know where Georgina lives, Sam.

Take me there!" Samuel decided discretion was the better part of valor and quietly slipped away downstairs, leaving the two alone. Jayceon remained by Arabella's side, still dressed in his white shirt and trousers, sleeves rolled up to reveal strong forearms. He carefully checked her temperature again, offered her small sips of water, and gently pressed a damp cloth to her fevered skin. His entire focus was on her, as if tending to her was the most important task in the world. "Jay..." she murmured weakly. Her hands fluttered in the air, restless and searching.

He caught them tenderly, his touch softening as he wiped her sweaty palms. She was reaching for him, even in her dreams. She wouldn't leave him-not now. Leaving her had been a mistake. He should have waited for her anger to fade before walking away. Arabella drifted in a feverish fog for days afterward. Each time she woke, her head felt heavy and foggy. She recalled missing an important meeting with a colleague Harrison had introduced her to. She had stood him up and knew she had to apologize immediately.

As she stepped into the hallway, she noticed the study door slightly open and heard Jayceon's voice on the phone. It was a weekday morning. Why was he home? she wondered. He appeared and saw her standing there. He reached out to touch her forehead, but she turned away sharply. His face darkened. "Is that how you treat your husband?" She ignored him and headed toward the stairs. Part of her wanted to scream, to pour out all the bitterness she felt, but exhaustion held her back. And honestly, what right did she have anymore?

Back in the bedroom, the unsaid truth of his betrayal hung thickly between them. Arabella realized that beyond that, there was nothing left to say. As she moved toward the closet, he grabbed her wrist and pulled her back. "Why didn't you call me? You were unconscious for three days." She looked up at him, her voice eerily calm. "I didn't want to get in the way of your date." If he didn't care about her, why would her illness even matter? A quiet despair clung to her-a hopelessness that unsettled Jayceon deeply.

Trying a different approach, he said, "I have a business trip to Brazoria this afternoon. The studio's delivering the new wedding photos. I need you to-" "I'm busy," she cut in flatly, pulling her hand free. A flicker of irritation crossed his voice. "Arabella, you've argued, raged, even broken our wedding photo. It's time to stop." She met his gaze for a brief moment, then wordlessly stepped into the closet. Shortly after, Steve arrived. "Sir, we're ready to leave." "Delay departure by two hours," Jayceon instructed. Noticing the studio staff nearby, Steve quietly slipped away.

That evening, Arabella returned carrying a stack of medical books. The new wedding photos hanging on the walls didn't even draw a glance from her. Jayceon was a master at maintaining appearances. He wouldn't let her ruin his carefully crafted image-the successful, family-oriented man. Kimberly stopped by with some oatmeal, eyebrows raised at the sight of the books. "You're really serious about divorcing him, Arabella?" she asked quietly. Conclusion The chapter closes on a somber note, revealing the deep fractures in Arabella and Jayceon's relationship.

Arabella's physical illness mirrors the emotional turmoil between them, highlighting the distance and unresolved pain that linger despite their shared history. Jayceon's attempts to care for her are tinged with frustration and regret, while Arabella's guarded responses reflect her wounded heart and growing resolve. The tension between duty, love, and betrayal weaves through their interactions, underscoring the complexity of their bond. Yet, amidst the coldness and silence, there remains a fragile thread of connection-seen in Jayceon's watchful presence and Arabella's quiet determination.
