Once Cast-Off Wife Now Untouchable Queen novel Chapter 261

Noel quickly ended the phone call and turned to Zera. “Sorry, Ms. Caldwell. Winter Group doesn’t have much money right now, and Mr. Winter is still in the hospital. Can you wait until he gets better?”

When Zera heard that Tyrone was in the hospital, she became nervous. “What happened to him? Take me there right now!”

Noel got worried. “I’m sorry, Ms. Caldwell, but you really shouldn’t go. Mrs. Winter stays with him all the time. It wouldn’t look good if you showed up.”

Zera remembered she still owed Virginia a lot of money, so she stopped pushing. “Okay, Mr. Frost. I guess I shouldn’t cause more trouble.”

Her eyes were red when she begged, “But my kid and I really can’t keep living like this. Can you lend me just a hundred thousand? When Tyrone gets better, I’ll ask him to pay you back right away.”

Noel felt a headache coming on.

If Tyrone hadn’t told him to keep Zera calm, he might’ve yelled at her already.

He said, “Sorry, Ms. Caldwell. I hand all my paychecks straight to my wife. I really don’t have that much to lend.”

Zera tried again. “If you don’t have a hundred thousand, then at least tens of thousands?”

Noel still refused, so Zera started crying. “I guess Tyrone doesn’t care if me and starve!”

Noel couldn’t take it anymore and finally gave in. “Ten thousand. That’s all I’ve got.”

Zera took the money right away.

She never meant to pay it back anyway.

Just as Noel sent her the money, his wife and sister–in–law walked in with a stroller and saw everything.

Noel didn’t even have time to think before his wife grabbed him.

His sister–in–law pulled Zera’s hair, pushed her to the ground, and slapped her several times.

Noel’s wife also hit Noel while he tried to cover his face.

The whole scene turned into total chaos.

:

It was more than an hour later when Noel finally reached Tyrone’s hospital room.

Sayer saw him walk in and quickly stood up to leave.

After the door shut, Tyrone asked, “So, how did it go?”

Noel told him the whole story–how he met Zera, got caught by his wife and sister–in–law, and ended up getting beaten.

Tyrone tried to comfort him. “Getting hit by your wife isn’t the worst thing that can happen. Just hang in there.”

When he noticed how upset Noel looked, Tyrone added, “Once this whole mess is done, I’ll give you a month of paid leave and double your year–end bonus.”

Noel brightened up right away. “Mr. Winter, Ms. Caldwell borrowed ten thousand dollars from

me.”

Tyrone’s expression darkened.

By now, Zera still hadn’t gone to Orson’s biological father for help.

So who’s the man backing her up?

Could that person be tied to Ivan’s death?

What exactly is Zera hiding?

Aella stopped by the hospital that afternoon. Tyrone was in the room alone.

He reached out a hand to her. “Help me to the bathroom.”

Aella didn’t move. “Tyrone, your legs work just fine. Stop being so dramatic.”

Tyrone reminded her calmly, “You promised to take care of me. Is this what you call taking care of me? You won’t even help me up?”

Aella sighed and walked over, clearly annoyed. “Maybe you should just let Zera take care of you

instead.”

Before she could finish, Tyrone pushed her away.

She stood there, watching him walk into the bathroom on his own, perfectly fine. She couldn’t

It looked like she’d just have to put up with him until he was discharged.

A moment later, Sayer knocked and came in. Seeing the stress on her face, he teased, “What’s on your mind? Your eyebrows are about to tie in a knot.”

Aella smiled faintly. “It’s nothing.”

Sayer smiled. “Aella, let’s go racing sometime.”

“Sure,” she said.

When Tyrone came out of the bathroom, Aella reached out to help him this time.

gave her a look. “Why is he here again?”

Sayer shrugged. “No one wants to play with me, so I came here to play some mobile games with Aella.”

Aella’s phone battery was almost dead, and seeing how annoyed Tyrone looked, she decided not to play.

Tyrone sat on the hospital bed, working on his laptop, while Sayer lay on the couch with his headphones on, playing a game.
