Who's the One Regretting Now? Chapter 10
At the hospital, the doctor, Gregory Chase, took one look at Macie's injuries and began berating her for not taking care of herself. The blisters on her feet had all ruptured. It could be dangerous if they were to get infected.Macie kept her head low, keeping her silence as she stared at her painfully red and battered feet.It wasn't that she didn't take care of herself.It was just that some people refused to leave her alone.Gregory did more checks and found that her lower back and tailbone were severely bruised. There were injuries on her arms as well, and her eyes were swollen from crying. Throughout the entire examination, she did not say a single word, nor was there anyone accompanying her.The doctor could guess what had happened. "You need an X-ray of your lower back. Let's get you hospitalized. You shouldn't go home for a few days.""Thank you, Dr. Chase," Macie replied hoarsely.One of the nurses helped her handle the hospitalization procedure. Macie couldn't lie on h

Edward slammed the door shut with a loud bang and turned back to the kitchen. The food he had brought back now looked like a joke. In a fit of anger, he threw everything into the trash.Then, he took out his phone and called Macie. The busy tone beeped for a long time, yet no one answered. Just as he was about to lose his temper again, he remembered that Macie's phone was broken.He didn't call again. His expression remained cold as he returned to his bedroom to shower and go to bed.Macie could go wherever she liked. It had nothing to do with her.…At 2:00 am, Edward woke up to an agonizing pain in his stomach. Irritated, he snapped, "Macie, where's the…"The door across from his was ajar—still in the same position as when he had slammed it shut earlier. Edward clenched his fists and went to find himself some antacid.The burgers from dinner had been too much for his sensitive stomach, so he hadn't eaten much. On top of that, he had drunk some alcohol, and now it was all catch

"What's wrong, Ed?" Sharon sat up and hugged him around the waist from behind.Edward pushed her hands off and said hoarsely, "Sorry, I overstepped just now. Get some rest."With that, he hurriedly got out of bed and fled the scene."Ed! Ed!" she called out hurriedly and followed him. But when she opened the door, the hallway was already empty.She bit her lower lip, nails digging into the doorframe as her eyes filled with resentment.…In the parking lot, Edward got into his car, his expression dazed and unfocused. He was still shaken by what had happened earlier. He buried his head in his hands, full of regret.Out of the corner of his eye, he saw the newly bought phone lying on the passenger seat. His gaze flickered away almost guiltily.…Meanwhile, Sharon closed the door and went to the bathroom. In the mirror, she saw the hickeys on her neck. She smiled deviously as she snapped a photo and sent it out.…It was already 11:00 pm when Edward got home. He entered the elev

"Keep looking. I refuse to believe that she could just vanish into thin air!" Edward gritted out.Nathan had really tried everything. He had even called Macie multiple times, but she wouldn't answer.Just as he was about to lose all hope, he called one last time—and this time, Macie picked up."Mrs. Fowler! Where are you?" Nathan asked excitedly."What do you need from me?" Macie returned his question with her own, her tone indifferent."Mr. Fowler—" Nathan blurted out but stopped himself just in time. He quickly came up with an excuse. "Mr. Fowler asked me for a document, but I couldn't find it, so I wanted to check with you. But you weren't around, and we need the document urgently…"Macie was exasperated. Edward had lost something and couldn't find it, yet he was now making his assistant ask her."Tell him to look for it himself," Macie said coldly."Mrs. Fowler, Mr. Fowler has been in meetings all day long. He's busy," Nathan said. He was clever. He made his voice sound urg

The doctor arrived after the nurse drove Edward out of the room. Macie only bit her bottom lip. Her tears were overflowing from the intense pain.The ward fell silent once again, except for the sound of her sobs. The other patients looked at her with sympathy for this unfortunate woman."Domestic violence is against the law. I'm calling the police right now." The nurse, unable to stand it any longer, took out her phone.Edward snapped back to his senses and immediately snatched the phone away."I didn't do it! Domestic violence? What are you talking about? If you keep making things up, I'll make sure you lose your job!" he threatened."The patient has a fractured coccyx. Were you not the one who did this?" The nurse looked at him questioningly.A fractured coccyx...Edward froze again and looked at the injured area.The first time, he had thrown her to the ground. The second time, he had pushed her down hard.Could it be…Seeing that he had fallen silent, the nurse picked u

"You were the one who was about to stab her with a kitchen knife! I saw it with my own eyes!" Edward argued."Oh? Then did she actually get hurt?" Macie shot back.Edward was instantly at a loss for words.Sharon's so-called "injury" wasn't even as bad as a scratch from a fingernail. She didn't even need a band-aid."You say I'm making things up, but it seems to me that you're the real expert at twisting the truth." Macie sneered when he remained silent. "And as for your question about whether I went home last night… What's the matter? Were you so eager for me to catch you in bed with that woman?"You sure are self-righteous for someone who's cheating while still married."Edward's back stiffened instantly at those words. He then retorted forcefully, "I didn't!""Oh? Then what left that hickey on your neck?" Macie mocked.Edward's hand flew to his neck. He then quickly pulled out his phone to check his reflection. Lifting his collar, he saw a hickey on the side of his neck."L

Nathan didn't understand why Edward was so upset. After giving it some thought, he realized it was because…"She could have told me directly! Why did she have to tell you instead?!" Edward roared.Why go through his assistant? Would it kill her to call or text him?Nathan stared blankly ahead, his silence speaking volumes. He wondered if the method of communication really mattered that much and if it was worth Edward flying into a rage.He didn't get it.Why was Edward so desperate to find her if he didn't love Macie? But if he did love her, why would he sleep with another woman and hurt her so deeply?Meanwhile, Macie declined the concerns of her fellow patients in the ward. She just wanted to be left alone.What she had told Nathan was the truth. Out of respect for Yosef, she wouldn't expose Edward and Sharon's affair.Besides, she would be gone in just 25 days. As long as the couple didn't provoke her again, they could do whatever they wanted.…Edward was completely out o

Edward was in a much better mood. He even crossed his legs leisurely while sipping his coffee in the office.At exactly 5:30 pm, he got up, grabbed his coat, and clocked out to have dinner with Sharon.As soon as he started the car, his phone rang. He took it out, glanced at the screen, and then laughed coldly before hanging up and putting it back in his pocket."Weren't you cursing me out just this afternoon? I called 100 times, and you ignored me. Now that you need something, you're calling me?" Edward sneered, stepping on the gas and driving off.He could already guess why Macie was calling. He figured that it was probably about money for her hospital stay. After all, where else would she get the money when she hadn't worked in the past two years?Thinking about all the times he'd put up with her and all the kindness that went unappreciated, he gripped the steering wheel tighter. Just the night before, she had splashed water on him and gone crazy, hitting him with a toilet brus

Sean watched Macie from his seat. Her expression clearly showed her reluctance and frustration, but she still managed to force a smile and say the obligatory things to please him, doing so for the sake of the company. He found it all a bit amusing. Across from him, Julian noticed Sean's gaze lingering on Macie as she took her seat. His hand, resting on the table, instinctively clenched into a fist."Mr. Hart, don't keep teasing my staff. She's new here and pretty shy," Julian said, smiling.Sean pulled his gaze away and nodded. "Yeah. She may be a little shy, but she'll get better with more experience." Julian and the rest of the people in the room were at a loss for words. They thought that Sean was really just begging for a slap with that comment.At the far end of the table, Macie, hearing their conversation, clenched the papers in front of her. She thought that Sean was very frustrating. He knew that she wasn't some random woman, but still acted like he was trying to put h

Julian frowned from across the table. He had initially assumed that Macie had run into Sean because of Alice, but now, he vaguely sensed the presence of a love rival. "I happened to arrive early, and since we were short-staffed at the time, I offered to help with the coffee," Macie explained, maintaining her professional smile.Sean's eyes crinkled with amusement as he watched Macie get riled up by his teasing. But, of course, he wasn't exactly the nicest guy. He reached out and picked up the cup of coffee. He remarked, "I don't usually drink coffee made by just anyone, but since you went through all the trouble, I'll make an exception."That only made annoyed Macie further. Her gaze locked on the cup in his hand, and for a split second, she genuinely wanted to throw it in his face. If she'd known that this self-absorbed, overconfident narcissist was their client that day, she would've just grabbed a packet of instant coffee from the pantry and called it a day."Nice latte art," S

Julian nodded and said, "Palmer has always been detail-oriented. Go ahead. It's in the left corner of my office. The clients have already arrived downstairs, so I'm going to greet them. As for the coffee, don't stress over it. Even if it's not perfect, it's fine. He's probably not going to drink it anyway, so just the gesture will do."Macie understood what he meant. The client likely wouldn't care for their company's coffee since they were picky. She went into Julian's office, walked toward the coffee machine, measured out the coffee grounds, and started brewing. While the coffee brewed, she whipped up a layer of milk foam and poured it over the coffee, drawing a simple leaf design in the foam.By the time she returned to the conference room with the coffee, the clients had already arrived. Julian was seated at the head of the table on the right, while the client was at the left end. The two of them were in the middle of a conversation.Macie could only see the man's sharp jawline

Meanwhile, at the Fowler residence, news of the incident outside the business gathering soon reached Yosef. He was livid. "Mr. Fowler Senior, please… have some water," Nolan said, handing him a glass of warm water.Yosef took a sip, calmed down a little, and sighed heavily. "What was he thinking? He's just humiliating himself, bringing about his own downfall. Fortunately, the Harts weren't injured. Forget about a marriage alliance. This might just turn us into enemies."Nolan tried to reassure him, saying, "Mr. Fowler knows where to draw the line. He wouldn't actually hurt anyone.""Did you already forget how we had to bail him out of the police station last Friday night? Do you really think he wouldn't dare hurt anyone? I think he'd even kill someone if it came to that!" fumed Yosef.Nolan fell silent for a moment before responding, "But… this was the Hart family. Mr. Fowler would at least weigh the consequences.""He got his own father so worked up that he ended up in the hosp

Sean quietly finished his soup. Once his stomach felt warm and settled, he opened the other two containers. One had a small serving of pasta, and the other had braised ribs. He ate everything, and by the end, the containers were spotless. There wasn't even a crumb left."Well, how was it? Good, right?" Alice asked, watching him polish off the last bite.Sean nodded and, for once, didn't hold back his praise. "It was terrific." He then added, "So I'll let it slide. I won't hold what happened against you." After all, he had eaten the meal Macie made.Alice breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that, only for Sean to follow up with, "But don't make a habit of it. If word gets out, it'd be bad for Macie."Alice nodded like a bobblehead and swore up and down that this would be a one-time thing. She then took the thermos back from Sean. After getting out of the car, she noticed that Edward and the others had already left.When she got back to her Ferrari, she heard footsteps behind h

Sean was about to leave, but before he did, he delivered the final blow. He said, "Macie's a real gem. She's beautiful and has a fantastic figure. Her waist is so slim that I can hold her with one hand. Her hands are soft, smooth, and pale. "But she's a little skinny. No worries, though. I'll fatten her up soon."Edward and Alice were both dumbstruck. Consumed with jealousy, all Edward could see was red as he glared at Sean's retreating figure. "Damn you! Get the hell away from Macie! Stay out of other people's marriages, you home-wrecking bastard! "I won't let this slide, you hear me? You'd better watch your back! I'm going to bring down Hart Group and make sure you disappear from Williamford for good!" However, his outburst didn't make Sean turn around at all. The latter kept walking with one hand in his pocket, looking like he couldn't care less about what Edward had said.Alice, still frozen in shock, snapped back to her senses when she noticed her brother walking away. S

The Hart family's driver was doing his best to hold Edward back while Alice took a few steps back, adding fuel to the fire. She sniped, "Even if Macie told you herself, I bet you'd still be in denial. Why don't I call you when they go out on a date and kiss? I'll reserve front row seats, just for you!"Edward snapped, shoving the driver out of the way. Alice hurriedly backed away and thought, "Crap. I've gone too far!" It seemed that Edward had truly lost it.As she turned to run, her high heels tripped her up, and Alice let out a startled gasp. Edward was almost in front of her, his hand stretched out like a claw. Just as disaster was about to strike, two security guards leaped in—one from the left and one from the right—grabbing hold of Edward. Meanwhile, a large hand caught the thermos that was about to slip from Alice's grasp. Then, a calm voice sounded. "Careful. My girlfriend made that soup. It would be a shame to spill it."Alice steadied herself and noticed that the voic

Meanwhile, a red Ferrari pulled up outside the mansion. Alice stepped out with a thermal food container in hand. After reading Sean's message, she thought, "There's no way Edward could do anything to me. Not unless he wants to end up in prison."She wasn't Macie, who had been tortured but couldn't fight back because of the influence Fowler Group wielded. If Edward messed with her, he'd regret it. With that sneer fresh on her face, she suddenly spotted someone running toward her in the distance. She squinted and realized that it was none other than Edward.Instinctively, she stepped aside. She wasn't afraid of the Fowlers, but a punch would still hurt. Moreover, her older brother hadn't shown up yet.As the man drew closer, she had already moved out of the way. Alice assumed that Edward was charging at her, but instead, he blew right past her. Alice was dumbfounded. She turned around and noticed him rushing up to her Ferrari. He bent down, knocked on the window, and called out Ma

Edward snorted and asked, "Do you guys know Bennett?"Brian, Frederick, and Stephen nodded in confirmation. Of course they knew him. Bennett was Edward's father, after all.The three of them wondered why Edward brought his father up until his voice dropped into a dark, chilling tone. "I yelled at him until he fainted. He's still in the hospital. If you three want to find out what that's like, by all means, stay here."The three businessmen were at a loss for words."Why don't you and Mr. Hart catch up, Mr. Fowler? I just remembered that Mr. Zuniga was looking for me…" Frederick blurted. He gave a forced smile to Edward."Right. I should be heading out as well. Let's talk business another time," Stephen added hastily.The two of them practically dragged Brian away and disappeared into the crowd. Judging by their expressions, they probably wouldn't dare strike up a conversation with Edward ever again.They had never heard of Edward having such a bad temper. They couldn't believe t
