Albert had always suspected that the red mark on Jessieâs face must have been caused by Daisy, so this was his chance to get even with her, for Jessieâs sake.
In the three years he spent with Jessie, he couldnât count the number of scratches she left on his body whenever she threw tantrums.
Yet, he simply tolerated her and never laid a hand on her.
So how dare Daisy slap her? He had been angry with Daisy ever since he saw that mark on Jessieâs face.
Meanwhile, Daisy had recovered from her shock.
She looked at Albert and murmured in disbelief, âYou hit me because of that woman?!â
She then chuckled and added with a sneer, âYou really care about her, donât you? It doesnât matter anyway.
As long as I remain Mrs.
Waston, sheâll never really be with you.
The fact that Iâm married to you, even if it lasts for one day, is enough reason for her to never forgive you.
Thatâs your punishment, Albert Waston! Youâll keep suffering, just like me.
You wonât get what you want.
No matter how much you hate me, youâll remain stuck with me for the rest of your life.
â
âYouâre out of your mind!â Albert retorted through gritted teeth.
With that, he turned around and marched off, with Melissa following closely behind.
As they went, they could hear the sound of Daisy smashing the things around her.
âMr.
Waston, shall we, umâ¦?â Melissa stuttered in embarrassment.
âForget about her!â Albert scoffed without even waiting for her to finish the statement.
Going straight to the smoking area, he pulled out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it up.
Then he said to Melissa in a low voice, âJust leave me alone for a moment.
â
Melissa had no problems with this.
In fact, it was convenient for her since she also wanted to check on Jessie.
So she nodded and left without a word.
After she had gone, Albert stood there deep in thought as he smoked.
When he recalled Jessieâs pale face, he couldnât help but feel sorry for her.
But at the same time, he knew that the best thing for him to do was to keep his distance from her.
After a while, he called Melissa and instructed her, âGo get some ointment for Jessie and make sure she applies it on her face.
Sheâs always so careless.
â
When Melissa heard this instruction, she couldnât help but have mixed feelings in her heart.
After hanging up, she turned to leave the inpatient department.
But all of a sudden, someone called her name.
âMelissa!â
She quickly looked up and saw that it was Thomas.
He looked very haggard.
Perhaps it was because of Weldonâs condition.
âYouâre here to visit someone?â he asked after looking at her for a moment .
âYes.
â She nodded.
Thomas frowned and continued his questioning.
âAre you here because of Mrs.
Waston? If you can go to a hospital to see a stranger, why are you being so cruel to your own father, Melissa?â
âThat man is not my father,â Melissa groaned exasperatedly.
Thomas, seeing how indifferent she was, sighed and shook his head.
