Secretary’s Secret Lover by Zayla Quinn

Chapter 247 Like a Child

At this moment, the coldness in Jamie's eyes made Fiona's 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.

"Jamie... You don't love me anymore, do you?”

Fiona's 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.

"How can that be?”

"But you yelled at me just now!" Fiona sniffed her nose and said loudly, "You scolded me. I'm angry

now!"

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, Jamie's tone softened a little as he said, "Alright, you have not completely recovered

yet. Go back and rest."

Fiona was very angry. She thought, that's not what I expected.

He is driving me away.

She gritted her teeth with hatred. ‘Jamie, are you going to let Ellen go after she hurt me? She really

wanted to kill me. I still have nightmares every night!"

Jamie said lightly, "She has been punished."

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 Jamie's?

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, "I know that you are upset. Tomorrow, let Jack take you

to pick another villa near the river.’

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.

Fiona's expression eased a little. Although she hated Ellen, she could not kill her right now.

She pouted and said, "Jamie, how can you let someone investigate my brother? You are humiliating

me."

Jamie furrowed his eyebrows slightly and did not speak.

Fiona shook Jamie's arm and said coquettishly, "Can you let Jack stop making trouble for Cody?"

"Jack is not making trouble."

Jamie smiled at Fiona, yet his smile didn't look genuine. "Fifi, I respect Cody since he is your brother,

but it does not mean that he can meddle in my affairs. Do you understand?"

Fiona felt a chill because of Jamie's 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, "Are you the family of the patient in bed 2? The

patient is awake."

Jamie's heart raced a little. He moved Fiona's hand away and said, "Now, go back and rest. Don't mess

around."

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, "Cody, what's wrong?"

"Jack took her away!" Cody said.

"What if she gives me out? I listened to you and arranged for someone to set her up."

Fiona said indifferently, 'What are you worrying about? Even if Jamie knew it, so what? Don't you know

how well Jamie treated me all these years?"

She comforted Cody. "You are my brother. Don't worry. He won't blame you."

Hearing what Fiona said, Cody felt much more at ease.

Cody chuckled, "That little girl is really lucky. It would be a pity if she died."

Cody recalled Ellen's 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, "Cody, if you really want to..."

Inside the ward.

Not long after Ellen woke up, the nurse was helping her eat porridge.

The injuries on Ellen's 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. "Why are you like a child? Eat slowly. This

is all yours."

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 Ellen's 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, Ellen's 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 Jamie's arm, accompanied by a strange smell that had

been fermented by gastric acid.

In an instant, Jamie's 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, "Mr. McBride, you fed her all that

porridge?"

Jamie held his arms and nodded with a frown.

The nurse was very responsible. She did not know Jamie's identity and only treated him like an

ordinary person. She told him, "Ms. Robbins' stomach is upset. She can't eat so much, since she just

woke up. If she doesn't speak, you have to learn to observe her expression.”

Jamie wondered, expression?

Jamie thought for a while and did not see any other expression on Ellen's 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 Ellen's 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 Jamie's 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 didn't 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 Jamie's handsome face.

"Ellen!"

In an instant, Jamie's 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 couldn't dare to do it.

His anger rose, and his expression was scary as if to kill someone. Jamie suddenly raised his hand.
