NovelFinishChapter 216 Mila let out a light laugh, "Sorry, I hit men." The past few days had been a whirlwind of frustration due to the ongoing divorce. She'd faced nothing but obstacles, threats, and surveillance, leaving her utterly frazzled and in a terrible mood. And now, to top it all off, a cheeky brat had just waltzed into her life, practically begging for trouble.
Mila didn't hesitate. She chased after him, ready to teach him a lesson.
"Trying to bossaround? And he had the nerve to curse me..." The cheeky brat's attempt to lecture her was bad enough, but to curse her to remain married to Lysander forever? That was crossing the line.
He definitely deserved a good smack! And so, the chase led them straight into the study.
One door stood between them.
Mila stood outside the door, her face a mask of calm. She held a garden trowel in her hand but refrained from entering.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtInside, everyone was stunned into silence.
No one had ever seen this side of Mila before. The usually gentle and quiet woman had shown a fierce and fiery side, leaving everyone in awe.
Ignoring Archie's wails, Felicity was the first to rush out of the study. She grasped Mila's hands, inspecting them anxiously as if checking for any injuries.
"Are you okay? Are you okay?" Mila's expression softened as she faced Felicity, "I'm fine, really." "Aunt!" Archie couldn't take it anymore. "Please, get a grip, it was her who hit me! I have principles, you know, I never hit women!" Just as the words left his mouth, he felt a sharp smack to the back of his head. "Apologize!" Xavier didn't hesitate, pressing down firmly on the boy's neck, forcing him to bow his head toward Mila in apology.
Everyone in the study knew Archie's true nature and didn't blMila one bit. It was obvious the boy had done something to provoke her.
Archie struggled against his father's firm grip, "What did I do wrong? Are you all blind? Can't you see I was the one who got hit?" He wriggled free and darted around the study to escape his fuming father.
Mila stood at the doorway, watching the chaos unfold inside. She shook her head and, lowering her hand, turned to Felicity, "Mom, I'm exhausted. I'm going to rest." With that, for the first time, she didn't wait for Felicity's response and walked away. Felicity, feeling lost and upset, chased after her a few steps before stopping, tears welling in her eyes. She pulled out her phone to call Lysander.
No answer.
Frustrated, she sent him a message, urging him to chimmediately.
The household was on the brink of a meltdown! At the hospital.
Lysander had arranged for a top medical team to conduct a thorough examination on Giselle, developing a comprehensive treatment plan.
"I told you, it's just a fall, a little cut. A few days of rest and I'll be fine." Giselle sighed with exasperation.
Lysander smiled gently, "We need to be cautious. It could be a concussion." "Alright, I'll listen to you." Giselle agreed, her smile sweet and reassuring.
Charles, who had been observing silently, felt increasingly satisfied with Lysander.

"I'll see the doctors out." After the examination, Lysander excused himself and left the room.
As soon as the door closed, Giselle's smile faded slightly. She glanced at her father.
"Dad, is there something you want to discuss?"
Her father wasn't supposed to be here today. He was meant to give her and Lysander salone tat the hospital, yet he had shown up unexpectedly.
Charles sat down, letting out a sigh, "Well, this fall wasn't for nothing. He certainly cares a lot about you." Giselle simply smiled, saying nothing.
Charles then adopted a more serious tone, "There's been a hiccup with our plans
