Chapter 533

Cyrus walked out and ran into Cecilia and Zoey doing their rounds. He asked, "Can you get someone to help her change her clothes and bed sheets?" Cecilia and Zoey were rattled by the screams they heard from inside. For such painful treatments, patients usually received anesthesia or underwent acupuncture to numb the pain. But they heard Jessie scream like a stuck pig. "Is she okay?" "She's fine. She just passed out from the pain," Cyrus replied. "It sounded worse than childbirth," Zoey said. "Fact is, it's about three to five times more painful than childbirth. Better tell the nurse to be gentle, or she'll wake up, and it'll be embarrassing for Miss Sykes," Cyrus said. "Got it. You stop talking now, or I might hit you," Cecilia said before running off to make arrangements. Zoey followed Cyrus upstairs. After holding back for a while, she finally asked, "If Jessie's hyposexual disorder can be treated, why can't mine be cured? Am I being too sensitive?" Cyrus gently hugged her and kissed her hair. Just smelling Zoey's unique fragrance made him feel content. "It's okay. You just need time. Jessie's condition is much more painful." "I'd rather endure pain than keep living like this," Zoey said, feeling worse the more Cyrus tried to comfort her. She felt like she wasn't a normal woman anymore. "I'm sorry, honey. This isn't your fault." Zoey's tears flowed uncontrollably. She sobbed and said, "Maybe I should divorce you. You can marry Cecilia. I can stay here to work and take care of Mira. I don't deserve to be your wife. I can't give you anything..." "You've given me a family. I can't live without you, Zoey." At that moment, the elevator doors opened. Mira, dressed in her pajamas and holding her teddy bear, saw Zoey crying. Her eyes widened with shock and fear. For Mira, her mother's tears were the biggest shadow in her heart. She wondered if Cyrus had hurt Zoey again. Zoey had been smiling every day recently, so why was she crying now? Mira pursed her lips and asked in a teary voice, "Mommy, what's wrong? Did Daddy hit you again?" Zoey was embarrassed. She wiped her tears and quickly hugged Mira. "No, sweetie. Daddy's been very good to me. I just got a little sad." Hearing this, Mira seemed to let out a big sigh of relief. It showed how much the spendthrift Cyrus had hurt them both. The family of three happily went back to their room. After putting Mira to sleep, Zoey finished her shower. Tonight, she wore a sexy sling pajamas. Standing at the door, she looked stunning and alluring. Cyrus couldn't help but swallow hard when he saw her. "Zoey, what are you doing?" "I'm thinking that if I just endure it, maybe it'll work." Zoey had become fixated on this idea. Cyrus chuckled. "Silly girl, I don't want to force you." "Then you might have to wait a long time." "Good things come to those who wait. Tonight, I'll sleep with you both." ... The next morning, Cyrus woke up to the sound of Zoey and Cecilia arguing with Jessie. "It's impossible. Cyrus would never take advantage of you under the guise of treatment. He values medical ethics highly," Zoey said. "I'm bleeding. You're just protecting your husband!" Jessie cried. Cecilia yelled, "Put the knife down first, then we can talk."
