Chapter 6 。 55 vouchers " I was the one who called 911. Ian , he ... " Mia began quickly , but she trailed off as she noticed the look on Chloe's face . It was still too late . The damage was already done . Chloe closed her eyes , her heart turning to ash . ' Of course . His first love is back , even with their five - year - old son . Why would he have any time left to care about me ? ' A sharp pain pierced through Chloe's heart . Clutching her chest , she curled inward and whispered , " Miranda , Mia , my mother just had bypass surgery . I can't let her and my dad see me like this in the hospital . Please , can you take me home ? " Miranda immediately told Mia to get the car ready . " The doctor said you fainted due to low blood sugar and extreme emotional distress , " she explained gently . " You'll recover better resting at home . It'll be more comfortable for you ." She paused , then added firmly , " I will support you through this . I've already called Ian and told him to come back immediately . " On the way home , Chloe reminded both Miranda and Mia once more not to interfere in her and Ian's relationship . No matter how painful , she was determined to end things herself . After returning home , Mia and Miranda stayed by Chloe's side all day , giving her medicine and warm broth , yet Ian never returned . ***** Chloe drifted in and out of sleep throughout the day . By that evening , she had regained a little strength . She finally managed to persuade both Miranda and Mia to go and get some rest . Standing in front of the bathroom mirror , Chloe barely recognized the gaunt , weary face staring back at her . She squeezed toothpaste onto her brush , cleaned her teeth mechanically , and reached to return the cup to its holder . But her hand trembled , and the cup slipped , shattering on the tile floor with a sharp , echoing crack . Chloe slowly knelt and picked up one of the broken shards . The couple's portrait printed on the cup , featuring her and Ian , had fractured into small pieces . She had custom - ordered this cup online for their first wedding anniversary . The image on the cup was based on a photo she had secretly taken of herself leaning affectionately against Ian . Ian had called it childish at first and refused to use it . She had to beg him for an entire week . It was only after she heartbreakingly cried all night that he finally gave in and started using it . Chloe's hard - won calm shattered again . She stood up , smashed the other matching cup into pieces , and then swept every item off the bathroom counter . She moved wildly from the sink to the shower , destroying everything in her path . Ten minutes later , she collapsed weakly onto the floor , surrounded by scattered toiletries , shards of glass , bath towels , charging cables , and other debris . Lying amid the chaos , Chloe began to laugh through her tears . She had imagined countless futures with Ian , but never once had she pictured it ending like this . ' How utterly pathetic . At the same time , back at Hamilton Manor , Miranda was furious when lan finally returned . " Ian , how can you treat Chloe like this ? Do you even know she ended up in the hospital ? " Ian's expression remained cold and detached . " What did the doctor say ? " mother , his attention already drifting elsewhere . he asked , his tone devoid of concern . He didn't even look at his Mia shot her brother a sharp glare . " The doctor said Chloe fainted from low blood sugar and from pure rage because of you , " she stated bluntly . lan merely responded with a hum . Miranda could no longer hold back her anger . " Your wife fainted at home , and you , as her husband , have neglected your duty completely . Is this how you take responsibility ? " Ian replied calmly , his expression unmoved , " There's no need to worry . She's perfectly fine . " He still believed he knew Chloe better than anyone else , ' She's just putting on an act Miranda threw Chloe's medical report at Jan. He skimmed it with a dismissive glance . How impressive , he thought coldly . ' She didn't just lie to the family . She even managed to fool the doctor ' 1/3 Chapter 6 55 vouchers Miranda handed Ian a thermal container of warm broth . " Take this to Chloe , " she instructed . " Go back to your house now and make sure she's alright . Don't keep her waiting ." Shane Hamilton , Ian's father , snapped at Miranda , " What would you know ? You're just a housewife . A real man builds his career out in the world . Chloe's family is bankrupt . She is useless for Ian's career . We haven't even blamed her for holding lan back or asked lan to divorce her . That's generosity enough . She should be grateful . " Edward Hamilton , Ian's grandfather , added with a dark expression , " What good is a woman with no career , no children , and not even the ability to take care of herself ? " Ian had no desire to continue the discussion . He offered a few simple responses , picked up the thermos , and walked out of the living room . Mia hurried after him . " Ian , " she asked cautiously , " has that woman come back ? " Ian froze , his hand still resting on the car door . He turned and stared at Mia , his expression guarded . " What woman are you talking about ? " he asked , his voice low and deliberately calm . Mia clenched her fists , her voice tight with anger . " That woman from your Instagram post the other night . She came back with a kid . I saw everything . " She held his gaze , refusing to let him evade the truth . Ian's eyes darkened dangerously . " Did you tell Chloe ? " he asked . The air around them grew tense as he took a step closer , his expression unreadable yet threatening . Mia was stunned into silence by Ian's sharp gaze . She stammered briefly before answering guiltily , " Chloe has always been so kind to me . I was afraid she might leave if she found out . How could I ever tell her ? " She thought to herself , ' Chloe made me promise not to say anything . She must have her own plan , something she needs to handle alone . I have to trust her on this . Ian's expression softened noticeably . He warned her , " Watch your mouth . If I find out you've been running your mouth , you'll never get another penny of allowance from me again . " Watching Ian drive away , Mia stamped her foot in frustration . " This is a disaster , she thought , her chest tight with dread . ' He actually did it . He really cheated .' Ian stepped back into his house , but the silence greeting him was deeper and colder than he remembered . He set the thermos of broth down on the dining table , and then headed upstairs without turning on any lights . Not finding Chloe in the bedroom , he took off his suit jacket , loosened his tie , and undid the top button of his shirt before turning toward the bathroom . ' She's not even home at this hour . Probably at the hospital with her mother , he thought with mild irritation . ' She couldn't even finish the act As he reached the bathroom door , the phone in his pocket began to vibrate . He checked the screen and paused to Andrea's voice came through , laced with guilt , " Ian , you're already busy almost fully recovered . Can you help me get discharged ?

Once Andrea's voice brightened noticeably on the other end of the line . " Thank you , Nothing has changed at all . Now go get some rest . You've been working so hard lately . " Ian , You're still the same as you were six years ago . After ending the call , lan set his phone aside and moved toward the bathroom . As he opened the door , he froze at the sight of the chaos inside . It looked as though the room had been torn apart . Then , noticing the shower light was on , his expression darkened . Stepping into the bathroom , he found Chloe lying on the floor . A strange tightness seized his chest . Ian lifted her upper body , her skin cold to the touch . " Even if you're upset , you shouldn't take it out on your own health ," he said , his voice low and tense . Chloe slowly opened her eyes . Her gaze on lan was empty and hollow . She moved her lips , but no sound came out , only tears rolling down the corners of her eyes . ' Such a warm embrace , ' she thought . ' But it no longer belongs to me .' Jan carried Chloe to the bed , his expression stern . She curled deeper under the quilt , refusing to say a word . Ian turned to leave and clean up , but after a few steps , he paused and returned to sit on the edge of the bed . 2/3 P. Chapter 61 Gently , he pulled the quilt down just enough to see her face .
