Secretaryâs Secret Lover By Zayla Quinn Chapter 247 Like a Child At this moment, the coldness in Jamieâs eyes made Fionaâs heart tremble.
It was rare for Jamie to be so harsh to her.
It was the same on the cruise ship last time. Because of Ellen, Jamie threw Fiona away without hesitation and she fell to the ground.
Fiona found that Jamie seemed to have changed and no longer cherished her.
âJamie⦠You donât love me anymore, do you?â
Fionaâs eyes were filled with tears as she held back her sobbing expression. She looked very pitiful.
Ellen had not woken up yet, and Jamie was a little annoyed. His voice also sounded a little impatient.
âHow can that be?â
âBut you yelled at me just now!â Fiona sniffed her nose and said loudly, âYou scolded me. Iâm angry now!â
Fiona knew that Jamie liked her for being unruly, and he did not like girls who had no strong opinions.
Therefore, Fiona learned to show weakness occasionally and be unruly to Jamie. Jamie was very fond of this.
As she expected, Jamieâs tone softened a little as he said, âAlright, you have not completely recovered yet. Go back and rest.â
Fiona was very angry. She thought, thatâs not what I expected.
He is driving me away.
She gritted her teeth with hatred. âJamie, are you going to let Ellen go after she hurt me? She really wanted to kill me. I still have nightmares every night!â
Jamie said lightly, âShe has been punished.â
Fiona lost control of her expression for a moment. She wondered, what does he mean?
She is not dead yet!
Why does the loss of a child make Jamie so distressed?
Can it be that the child really is Jamieâs?
Fiona clenched her fists tightly.
She swore in her mind, that bitch!
Jamie saw that Fiona kept her head down as if she was very sad.
He rubbed his temples and said a little tiredly, âI know that you are upset. Tomorrow, let Jack take you to pick another villa near the river.â
In addition to this one, Fiona already had three villas and five apartments under her name.
Jamie had always been generous to Fiona.
Jamie had also promised that after they were married, he would transfer eight percent of the shares of the McBride Group to Fiona.
That was not a small sum.
Fionaâs expression eased a little. Although she hated Ellen, she could not kill her right now.
She pouted and said, âJamie, how can you let someone investigate my brother? You are humiliating me.â
Jamie furrowed his eyebrows slightly and did not speak.
Fiona shook Jamieâs arm and said coquettishly, âCan you let Jack stop making trouble for Cody?â
âJack is not making trouble.â
Jamie smiled at Fiona, yet his smile didnât look genuine. âFifi, I respect Cody since he is your brother, but it does not mean that he can meddle in my affairs. Do you understand?â
Fiona felt a chill because of Jamieâs smile. She had known Jamie for three years. This kind of wry smile was rare to see.
When Jamie smiled like that, the person who he smiled at was usually his enemy.
At this time, a nurse suddenly came out and asked, âAre you the family of the patient in bed 2? The patient is awake.â
Jamieâs heart raced a little. He moved Fionaâs hand away and said, âNow, go back and rest. Donât mess around.â
Then, Jamie turned around and entered the ward, closing the door behind him.
Fiona looked at the tightly closed door. Her eyes were filled with immense hatred.
Beep.
The phone rang.
Fiona saw that it was Cody calling.
She had no way to deal with Cody. She picked it up and said impatiently, âCody, whatâs wrong?â
âJack took her away!â Cody said.
âWhat if she gives me out? I listened to you and arranged for someone to set her up.â
Fiona said indifferently, âWhat are you worrying about? Even if Jamie knew it, so what? Donât you know how well Jamie treated me all these years?â
She comforted Cody. âYou are my brother. Donât worry. He wonât blame you.â
Hearing what Fiona said, Cody felt much more at ease.
Cody chuckled, âThat little girl is really lucky. It would be a pity if she died.â
Cody recalled Ellenâs curvy body and could not help clicking his tongue. He thought, that bitch is so sexy.
Fiona could tell that Cody was up to something. She knew Cody too well.
Cody wanted Ellen.
Fiona blinked her eyes and said, âCody, if you really want toâ¦â
Inside the ward.
Not long after Ellen woke up, the nurse was helping her eat porridge.
The injuries on Ellenâs hand, face, and neck had not completely subsided, yet they were better than before.
After Jamie came in, he winked at the nurse and the nurse went out.
Jamie took the plate and continued to help Ellen eat.
Jamie thought that Ellen would reject him, but she did not resist at all. She opened her mouth when Jamie handed over the spoon.
Some porridge flowed out from the corner of her mouth because she ate it so quickly.
Jamie put down the plate and wiped her mouth with a tissue. âWhy are you like a child? Eat slowly. This is all yours.â
There was a sense of indulgence in his words, yet he did not realize it himself.
Ellen had always been very defensive. It was rare for her to be obedient, so Jamie teased her.
But soon, he found that something was wrong. Ellen did not respond to his words at all.
There was no expression on Ellenâs face, which was full of injuries now. She looked like a doll without emotion.
Jamie was a little unhappy, yet he still endured it and continued to raise the plate to help Ellen eat the porridge. Ellen also continued to eat.
When Jamie fed Ellen the last spoonful, Ellenâs expression changed a little, and then there was a retching sound.
All the porridge that had been fed to Ellen just now was vomited.
The sticky liquid was all spat on the bed and Jamieâs arm, accompanied by a strange smell that had been fermented by gastric acid.
In an instant, Jamieâs face became gloomy. He furrowed his eyebrows, but unexpectedly, he did not get angry at Ellen.
Ellen was no longer like a doll. She clenched the sheets tightly, her face very pale, and let out a painful groan.
The nurse heard the sound and ran in. She was shocked to see this scene.
She looked at the empty plate on the table and said in surprise, âMr. McBride, you fed her all that porridge?â
Jamie held his arms and nodded with a frown.
The nurse was very responsible. She did not know Jamieâs identity and only treated him like an ordinary person. She told him, âMs. Robbinsâ stomach is upset. She canât eat so much, since she just woke up. If she doesnât speak, you have to learn to observe her expression.â
Jamie wondered, expression?
Jamie thought for a while and did not see any other expression on Ellenâs face.
The nurse only thought that Jamie was an ordinary guy who was not smart. She asked Jamie to clean up.
It was already quite late when Jamie was done.
The nurse wiped Ellenâs body. The bed was also cleaned. Ellen closed her eyes to rest. The nurse sat by the bed.
After Jamie came in, he let the nurse go to rest.
The dim night lights made Jamieâs profile extremely tall and straight. His face looked even more angular and handsome.
His dark eyes stared at Ellen on the bed without emotion.
Ellen was very thin, very small.
Ellen was about 5.6 feet tall, but she didnât look that tall now.
Jamie slowly leaned over Ellen and wanted to pull away the hair on her mouth. Just as his hand touched the fine hair, he saw Ellen slap him.
Caught off guard, five fingerprints appeared on Jamieâs handsome face.
âEllen!â
In an instant, Jamieâs face darkened, and his voice was filled with indignation.
There was no woman in New York who dared to hit his face, and even Fiona couldnât dare to do it.
His anger rose, and his expression was scary as if to kill someone. Jamie suddenly raised his hand.
