Once Cast-Off Wife Now Untouchable Queen novel Chapter 278

Chapter 278 What Zera Didn’t See

Zera glanced down at the shoes on her feet, her face tight with embarrassment.

If she hadn’t fallen for Virginia’s lies and wrecked her own career, if she hadn’t been stupid enough to get played by that old woman, she wouldn’t be in this mess.

Tyrone refused to give her money. Most of what she borrowed from Jenny had already been squeezed out of her by her greedy sister–in–law. The payday loans she took out online barely covered her basic expenses. There was no way she could afford designer brands anymore.

But now, she wasn’t worried.

Tyrone had promised to let Aella treat her illness and said he’d take good care of her and Orson. She believed Tyrone, he was the type who either gave nothing or gave big.

Aella said, “Even if I am Tyrone’s ex–wife, I could call up Virginia right now, and the Winters‘ people would slap you three times a day. You believe that?”

Zera’s eyes flickered with all kinds of emotions.

When she spoke again, the arrogance from before had mostly faded.

She said, “Aella, we’re both women. Why make things harder for each other? I’m just trying to remind you that since you’re already divorced from Tyrone, maybe it’s time you stayed out of his life and stopped trying to make yourself relevant.

She sighed.

She said, “Zera, instead of wasting time running your mouth with me, maybe focus on locking down that marriage certificate with Tyrone. Because if Mr. Edwin sets him up with someone who actually matches his status, you’ll be screwed way worse.”

With that, Aella turned and walked away.

Zera stood there, furious, her foot stomping the pavement.

Aella had hit a nerve. She’d schemed and waited forever for Tyrone to finally get divorced. No way was she letting another woman swoop in and take her place.

Aella paused once she crossed the street.

Zera, that idiot, still didn’t get it.

Clearly, it was time for Aella to make good on her promise to Tyrone and hypnotize her.

Whatever drama they had going on, Aella didn’t care, as long as they stayed the hell out of her life.

As she walked, Aella called Tyrone.

He picked up almost instantly.

Aella said, “Friday morning. Bring Zera in to register.”

On the other end, Tyrone immediately left the conference room, abandoning the people inside. Before he could even get a word out, Aella had already hung up.

Just after nine on Friday morning, Tyrone brought Zera to the hospital.

Even though Aella knew perfectly well there was nothing wrong with Zera, she still went through the formalities–asked all the intake questions, ordered the tests, ran her through the whole process.

Over an hour later, Zera came back into Aella’s office.

Aella looked at Tyrone and said, “It’s hard to say right now. Let’s try a round of meds and some holistic therapy and see how it goes.”

Tyrone nodded. “You’re the doctor. Whatever you say.”

Aella continued, “Three sessions a week. Each one’s 40 minutes. Come see me directly next Monday.”

Zera put on her fake smile and said, “Thank you, Dr. Reid.”

Aella glanced at her but didn’t respond.

Tyrone lowered his gaze, hiding whatever emotion flashed in his eyes.

Without a word, he stepped closer to Aella and said quietly, “Can you start the therapy this afternoon? She’s been really worn out lately. I just want her to get treated sooner and start healing faster.”

He didn’t want to wait even one more day.

He wanted to get this over with as soon as possible so he could finally explain everything clearly

to Aella.

Zera heard Tyrone’s words, and the corners of her mouth lifted without her realizing it.

She hadn’t expected Tyrone to care about her so openly, right in front of his ex–wife. To speak

for her like that? It made her feel warm all over.

up

She gave a shy little explanation. “Dr. Reid, please don’t take it the wrong way. Tyrone’s just really worried about me. If it’s too much trouble, I can wait until Monday.”
