Carter wondered if George and Rhea were really close enough for him to even accompany her to the

restroom.

He gripped the wheelchair’s armrests tightly and clenched his teeth until they ached.

Rhea came from such a prestigious family, and George was now the head of Snider Group. Together, they were practically at the very top of Draventh society.

And him?

He could barely hold his own in Draventh’s circles.

This

gap filled Carter with both envy and resentment.

All of this had once brushed past him. The regret churned in his chest, making it hard for him to

breathe.

He couldn’t stop himself from staring at the restroom. He would never allow Rhea to be with George.

Absolutely not.

Inside the restroom, Rhea leaned against the wall, feeling dizzy and weak.

George let her rest against his shoulder and said softly, “You don’t need to force yourself to go through this.

If she simply nodded, he could completely deal with Carter by himself.

Rhea raised her head. Perhaps from the high fever, her eyes were glossy, and her cheeks flushed pink.

“Sorry for using you over and over again,” Rhea said as she smiled self–deprecatingly.

George raised an eyebrow. “I did it willingly. It has nothing to do with you.”

As soon as he said that, his men entered the ward.

“Mr. Jamison, please leave,” George said.

Carter drew in a breath and looked toward Rhea. But George’s body blocked her from view. She didn’t speak up to stop George either.

The bodyguards stood between Carter and George.

Carter looked in Rhea’s direction. “Can you bear to let the kids be upset every day, looking for you? Don’t you know how much they rely on you?”

His strongest leverage now was Arielle and Adrian. He was trying to use them to pull Rhea back into the family.

George suddenly smiled and said, “Mr. Jamison, your kids may be treasures to you, but not everyone sees them that way. If you can have them, raise them yourself. If you need help, hire a nanny. Goodbye.”

With that, the bodyguards pushed Carter’s wheelchair toward the door. He couldn’t even stop them.

“Rhea! Adrian’s seriously injured, and you haven’t visited him even once. He’s so sad and keeps wanting to see you. You-”

The door slammed shut with a bang, cutting off Carter’s voice.

Carter’s face darkened.
