Hudson’s confusion deepened. “What exactly does that mean?”

Emily narrowed her eyes, her gaze sharp with long-held resentment. “How do you think Amara ended up leaving the country with Ronald? It was because she heard you were crippled overseas and would lose your inheritance.”

Hudson froze, the world around him seemingly coming to a standstill.

Years ago, that accident had indeed damaged the nerves in his hand.

But the story of him being disinherited had been a controlled leak by the family.

It was designed to protect him from further attacks while he recovered.

By removing his status as heir, they ensured his enemies would look elsewhere.

But how could that have been the reason Amara chose Ronald over him?

“Mom, why have you never mentioned this until now?”

Emily sighed and took a seat on the hallway bench.

“You married Jade shortly after, and Amara was already pregnant with Ronald’s child. What was the point of bringing it up then?”

Hudson pressed his lips into a hard line, a flood of memories resurfacing.

He remembered Amara coming to his bedside while he was recovering, tearfully announcing her relationship with Ronald and asking for his blessing.

It had been a shock because, until that moment, she had been heavily implying she would stay with him.

When he pressed her for the truth, she claimed she had no choice but to marry Ronald after a drunken mistake.

He had spent years believing Ronald had coerced her and had even planned to settle the score.

But they had left the country before he could get any real answers.

Now, the truth Emily had just dropped was shattering every foundation of his past.

Seeing Hudson’s stunned silence, Emily continued her assault.

“The only reason you’re helping her now is out of a sense of debt to Ronald. Don’t tell me you still have feelings for a woman like that.”

Hudson didn’t offer a rebuttal; he simply fell into a dark, brooding silence.

Inside the ward.

Jade was lying on the bed, her mind racing despite her exhaustion and the oppressive scent of antiseptic.

She got up to get a glass of water, only to overhear the entire conversation through the cracked door.

She lowered her gaze, a bitter, hollow laugh echoing in her mind.

Three years ago, she had sacrificed everything to stand by Hudson Walter’s side.

Yet even after all that time, she couldn’t earn a single ounce of his trust.

But Amara Hoyt could manipulate him and secure his total devotion without lifting a single finger.

She was a joke-a textbook example of a fool in love.

Jade bit her lip until it bled, drawing a deep breath to force down the stabbing pain in her chest.

It was almost over.

Once the divorce was final, she would never have to endure this agony again.

Jade masked the bitterness in her eyes, pretending she had heard nothing as she stepped out for her water.

The sound of footsteps preceded Hudson’s arrival as he rounded the corner.

“Why aren’t you sleeping?”

Jade’s tone was as flat as a dial tone. “I’m thirsty.”

Hudson could feel the arctic chill radiating from her.

“What is it now?”

Chapter 92 The Ugly Truth

Before he had left the room earlier, she had almost seemed like her old self.

Now, she had reverted back to this distant, unreadable stranger.

Jade lifted her eyes to meet his, her gaze devoid of warmth.

“I just told you. I’m thirsty. What else could it possibly be?”

Hudson’s gaze

scanned her pale face before he reached out and took the glass from her hand.

“The water station is upstairs. I’ll get it for you. Go back to your room and wait.”

Jade had no idea if this was some form of guilt-driven compensation or just another power play.

But if he wanted to be her errand boy, she wasn’t going to stop him.

“Thanks.” Jade tossed the word over her shoulder and returned to the ward without another word.

Hudson stood in the hallway, his grip on the glass tightening until his knuckles turned white.

He didn’t know when it had started, but her coldness was beginning to feel like a physical weight on his chest.

Jade returned to her bed and saw a notification on her screen from Anthony.

“How are things at home? Any updates?”
