Chapter 861-870

The Medical Genius’s Unspeakable Marriage Novel Chapter 861

Fatal Coddling

James let loose a string of curses at the door before turning to glare at Helen mutinously. “Do you see Tate’s true colors now? I told you not to believe anything that comes out of that mouth of his, but you refused to listen! I’m not getting any younger, but because of you, I had to get on my knees to apologize to someone! Heavens, I—marrying you must be some kind of karmic retribution for whatever horrible wrong I’ve done in my past life!”

Helen was silent as she kept her head down. She could not argue with James, knowing that Tate had really crossed the line this time.

After another round of abuse, James finally relented and set down a couple of ground rules for Helen: from now onward, she was not to have any contact or get involved in anything that had to do with the Campbells. Most importantly, no one in the Cunningham household was to bring up the Campbells in any way.

Helen bristled at such demands. “James, I agree that Tate has gone too far this time, but don’t you think it’s a little harsh for you to ask all these of me? Have you forgotten how Chloe helped us when we first got married and had nothing?”

“Shut up!” James barked with renewed anger. “Just because she helped us out of a tight spot all those years ago, it doesn’t mean we have to return the favor unconditionally! I’ve been more than hospitable to them since their return from abroad, and I said nothing when you asked Matthew to sign the order on Jonah’s behalf. Where do we draw the line at helping them, Helen? If Tate wasn’t in the wrong, I would have spoken up for him, but if you try to shield him even though he was clearly at fault, then you’ve failed in principle! You’re not helping him; you’re nudging him into self-destruction. He’s going to end up in worse places if you keep coddling him. Do you understand?”
