With that, Adrian stormed out in a fury.
Back in his office, Adrian still felt indignant. After some thought, he took out his phone and called Felix.

“Mr. Moore, when will you be available? I would like to meet with you. I have considered your previous proposal and think it is a good idea,” said Adrian.
After he hung up, a cold glint flashed in Adrian’s eyes. ‘Phoebe, since you are so ruthless, do not blame me for being merciless,‘ he wondered.
That evening, when Phoebe returned to the villa after work, she saw Declan sitting in the living room, reviewing some documents.
Hearing the door open, Declan put down the papers and turned to her. “The maid has prepared dinner and left it on the table. You should eat first.”
Phoebe’s expression was icy as she walked over and sat down across from him. “Dinner can wait. Before that, Mr. Richardson, do you not think you owe me an explanation? You are perfectly capable of bathing yourself, so why did you make me do it last night?”
Declan remained composed as he looked at her. “Although I can bathe myself, it is more convenient when you do it Besides, you are my wife.”
Phoebe pressed her lips together and said coldly, “I will not be helping you bathe again.”
Seeing the slight flush on her ears, Declan chuckled. “Alright.”
After dinner, Phoebe cleaned up the table and brought some fruit to the living room, planning to eat while watching TV.
Noticing Declan sitting beside her, she frowned slightly. ‘Does he not have work to do?‘ she wondered.
Declan watched the television for a while and quickly grew bored. Seeing Phoebe engrossed in the show, he could not help but ask, “Is it really that interesting?”
“If you
do not like it, you can go to your study to work or find something else to do,” Phoebe replied.
Upon seeing her indifference, Declan’s eyes darkened slightly. Just as he was about to speak, the doorbell suddenly rang.
Phoebe got up to open the door and found Ian and Marcus standing outside, looking travel–worn. A flicker of surprise crossed her eyes. “Are you here to see Mr. Richardson?”
Ian and Marcus clearly had not expected to see Phoebe here either. They exchanged a glance before lan smiled. “Yes. We are not disturbing you, are we?”
“No, come in.” Phoebe led them into the living room before going to make coffee.
Ian and Marcus sat on the sofa, their expressions full of concern.
Declan’s voice was cold. “I am not dead. There is no need to look so mournful.”
Ian sighed and spoke. “Declan, is it true that your leg cannot be healed?”
When Declan’s accident happened, Ian and Marcus had been on a business trip abroad. They only heard about it after returning and rushed over immediately.
“I do not know. But there is not much hope. Torsten said the injury affected the same area as before, but this time it is worse.

spoke. “Declan, if I remember correctly, was it not Dr. Cynthia who treated your leg
look?”
Declan pursed his lips. “We will talk about that later.”
Although Cynthia had treated his leg before, he had never actually met the doctor. He did not even know whether she was a man or a woman. Phoebe had always been the one in contact with her.
Phoebe had promised that she would try to get his leg treated once he recovered from his injuries, but Declan did not have much hope.
After a brief silence, Ian suddenly said, “Declan, why do I feel like you are not as concerned about your injury this time as you were last time?”
Declan was just about to respond
Phoebe walked over with two cups of coffee.
She placed them in front of Ian and Marcus and said coolly, “I will be in my room. Call me if you need anything.”
After she left, Declan’s expression remained blank as he said, “When I got into the accident, I had a vague premonition. I was already mentally prepared for the possibility that I might never walk again.”
Besides, he did not want to divorce Phoebe. If this meant she would stay by his side, then spending a lifetime in a wheelchair
did not seem so bad.
