Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem

Chapter 1187

Even Zane was baffled, and Elysia was just as confused.

"What on earth happened here?" she wondered aloud, looking at the scene unfolding before her.

The nurse was on the verge of tears, her eyes shimmering with emotion as she faced Zane. "I didn't mean any harm," she protested, her voice quivering. "I saw her daydreaming by the window and just asked if she was okay. Next thing I know, she's throwing a vase at me!"

With a sniffle, she continued, "She pulled my hair, hit me, kicked me... I didn't even fight back!"

Winona, however, was in full meltdown mode. "She's a villain! She tried to push me out of the window! Honey, do something! She wanted to kill me!" Her voice was high-pitched and urgent.

The nurse shook her head vigorously, "I didn't! I swear I didn't!"

"You did! You did! You want me gone!" Winona shot back, her voice rising with each word.

The back-and-forth continued until Winona turned to Zane with an ultimatum. "Honey, who do you believe? Me or her?"

Zane hesitated, leaving Winona feeling more distraught. "You don't love me anymore!" she sobbed, pushing him away to cry in the corner, hugging her knees tightly.

Elysia gave Zane a stern look. "Winona's been through a lot. She's bound to be fragile. She needs comforting."

Caught off guard and eager to explain himself, Zane was cut off as Elysia moved to console Winona.
