Chapter 4

The ward instantly fell silent. Jackson looked at me, his eyes red, filled with hatred.

"Aubrey, how dare you hit me! I'll really beat you to death today!" Jackson said through gritted teeth.

I didn't say anything, my heart breaking completely. This was the man I had loved for decades!

I was completely disillusioned, no longer harboring any fantasies about Jackson in my heart.

I looked at him coldly. "Jackson, if you dare lay a finger on me, I will immediately report you to the police for domestic violence."

"You... Clearly, you hit me first!" Jackson's face instantly turned red in the face from anger and he was unable to speak.

Just then, Madison, who had been watching, suddenly spoke up, "Aubrey, a little quarrel doesn't need to be taken to the police station, right?

"Besides, Jackson was just talking, but you really slapped him!"

At this, I couldn't help but smile mockingly, "Madison, if I were you, I would choose to shut up.

"That diamond necklace you're wearing is still a shared property of our marriage!"

At this, Madison's eyes flashed with resentment. Then she turned to look at Jackson beside her, her eyes instantly reddening, and she looked very aggrieved. "Jackson! Look at her! I kindly advised her, and she actually said that to me!"

At this, a hint of heartache flashed in Jackson's eyes. "I'm sorry, Madison. It's my fault for implicating you and making you suffer."

Looking at the affectionate gaze between the two, I only felt my stomach churning, disgusted to the extreme. I couldn't stay in this ward for another minute.

I turned to leave. Just then, the door to the ward was pushed open.

"Dad! Mom! What exactly happened!" Ella and Dylan walked in, looking very worried.

"Ella, why are you here?" Jackson saw this, a trace of confusion in his eyes.

"Mom sent me a text!

"She said you had an accident and were in the hospital! Told us to hurry over!"

With that, Ella looked at me reproachfully. "I even took time off work for this!

"Now look! No full attendance!"

Dylan heard this and gently pushed her shoulder. "Why are you saying that?

"Your parents are more important than full attendance."

With that, Dylan looked at Jackson and me, carefully asking, "Hurry and tell us, what exactly happened?"

Just then, Ella noticed Madison lying in the hospital bed, a hint of confusion flashing in her eyes. "Who is this..."

At this, Jackson said somewhat awkwardly, "Ella, this is my friend, just call her Madison."

"Friend?" I laughed coldly and looked at Ella. "Ella, she is the sweetheart your dad has kept deep in his heart for so many years!

"Your dad urgently called me to the hospital today just to have me take out 10 thousand dollars to pay for his sweetheart's eyebrow lift surgery."

At this, a hint of dissatisfaction flashed across Ella's face. "Mom, you called me to the hospital just for this?"

I froze for a moment, not quite understanding Ella's attitude.

"Do you know how busy I was today? How could you waste my time on such a trivial matter?" Ella said unhappily.

At this, I was stunned, unable to understand.

I never imagined that Ella would actually say something like this.

I thought, "Couldn't she see how awful Jackson's actions were!"

I was devastated.

"Ella is right!" Jackson glared at me fiercely!

"It's just a small matter of 10 thousand dollars, and you even called them over. You really don't consider them at all!"

"Jackson, you can't blame Aubrey for this. She's just a rural woman. She doesn't understand much," Madison added.

"It's just 10 thousand dollars! I'll pay for it!" Dylan waved his hand very generously.

At this, my heart ached terribly. I didn't understand why everyone was blaming me.

I thought, "Why was even my own daughter standing on the opposite side of me?

Clearly, the one in the wrong was Jackson!"
