Once Cast–Off Wife, Now Untouchable Queen

Chapter 29 The Public Apology

Aella didn’t want any private talk with Zera.

Finished

She pulled her female colleague to a stop and said, “Ms. Caldwell, if you have something to say. say it here.”

Zera decided to apologize right in front of Aella’s coworker.

“I just found out you’re off tomorrow, so I rushed over to apologize today,” she explained. Aella’s eyes scanned her up and down.

She certainly carried herself like a dancer–tall and graceful–but her features didn’t quite balance out.

Since Aella stayed silent, Zera kept going. “Dr. Reid, I know Raine came after me because of you. Still, it all started with me, so I’d like to officially apologize to you. Let’s not bring this up again.”

She paused, then added, “I just returned to the country. I don’t have many friends here, but I’d really like to be friends with you.”

Aella’s expression remained cold. “Ms. Caldwell, making a single friend in this city with someone like Tyrone is worth more than a thousand others. You don’t need to waste your effort on me.”

She started to leave, but Zera caught her sleeve. “No, Dr. Reid, you’ve got it all wrong about me and Tyrone-”

Aella yanked her arm free, annoyed.

The next second, Zera stumbled and fell to the ground with a loud thud.

People nearby hurried over to watch.

“Zera!”

Tyrone came running with a hospital bill in hand. He dropped to her side, checking her in a panic.

Zera winced, tears streaming down her cheeks as she clutched her knee. “Tyrone, I just wanted to apologize to Dr. Reid. I didn’t think she’d be so upset.”

In front of everyone, Tyrone scooped her into his arms.

Finished

His cold eyes locked on Aella. “And you call yourself a doctor? Zera’s already in poor health. How could you push her?”

Aella didn’t even bother to defend herself.

This felt like one of those stupid scenes from a soap opera; only now it was happening to her.

Her gaze fixed on Zera in Tyrone’s arms.

With a flat expression, she warned, “Tyrone, your woman threw herself in my way. Pushing her was me being polite. I should’ve slapped her and shown her who’s queen.”

Zera noticed the strange looks from the crowd and quickly spoke up. “Tyrone, my leg hurts so badly. Please, take me back to my room.”

Tyrone said nothing more. He turned and carried her off.

Aella’s coworker couldn’t hold back anymore. “Aella, were those two just now a couple? Why would they treat you like that?”

Aella forced herself to pull it together. She answered quietly, “They’re husband and wife.”

Tyrone, walking a few steps ahead with Zera in his arms, froze at those words.

He turned, eyes fixed on Aella as she walked away.

All this time, she’d been mad at him over Zera. She had thrown tantrums, avoided him, and

refused to listen.

But he hadn’t expected her to calmly tell others that he and Zera were married.

Zera, sensing the shift, sneakily glanced up at Tyrone.

His face looked steady, but his body was stiff. She could feel it.

“Tyrone?”

She called his name several times before he finally snapped out of it.

After he escorted Zera back to her hospital room, Brad pulled him aside.

They ended up in the park behind the hospital.

Tyrone stood by the creek, lit a cigarette, and asked flatly, “What do you want to say?”

He and Brad had known each other since they were kids. If Brad had dragged him out here, he definitely had something serious to say.
