The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance novel Chapter 1329

She was there to take over for Jake. As she raised her hand to knock, she heard the sound of arguing from within.

"Jake, what is *she* doing here?"

"Harold, calm down. She just came to check on Mr. Gardner's condition—"

"Dr. Burton is here," Harold cut in. "We don't need her."

"Harold..."

"Dr. Burton is more than capable of handling things," Harold insisted. "You can rest assured Mr. Gardner is in good hands. Now, please leave. I don't think Mr. Gardner would want to see you when he wakes up."

"Ms. Quinn was only trying to help him back then..." Jake said in a low voice.

Harold's voice was frigid. "Hypnotizing him without his consent is what you call ‘helping'?"

"But Mr. Gardner's condition did improve..."

"Was that what he wanted?" Harold shot back. "What happens if he remembers what was done to him? What then? Are you here because you regret it? Are you trying to trigger his memories?"

After a moment of silence, a young woman's voice responded. "I just came to see if he's all right. Don't worry, I won't interfere in his life or show myself to him..."

Her voice, soft a moment ago, suddenly turned sharp. "Who's outside?"
