Chapter 0156

Without saying a word, Kelsey lifted her chin and walked straight towards the staircase. We made our way through the winding hallway until we arrived at the door at the end. Kelsey pushed the door open.

I felt like I was going to be sick from the awful smell. It was pitch dark in the room, and when she turned on the light, I almost gagged. In the middle of the room, there was a puddle of some strange liquid. Next to it, I noticed a cot.

The room had a small window in the corner, a dresser, and a bedside table.

“This is a prison cell,” I whispered.

She crossed her arms over her chest and replied, “This is one of the nicer maid quarters.”

She seemed cheerful, as if there was no reason to complain.

I rolled my eyes, not really expecting much more than what I had already received.

“By the way, you’re expected to earn your stay,” she said, narrowing her eyes at me. “I expect chores to be done in a timely manner.”

“The other maids will help you get started,” she said.

“You want me to work as your maid?” I asked, surprised. I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. Were they going to treat my mother this way too?

“You’re living here rent-free out of courtesy,” she explained.

“You want your mother to keep living a carefree and luxurious life in the Cash manor, right? Then yes, you need to work as our maid,” she told me. “It’s the least you can do.”

“What’s going on?”

“What is that supposed to mean?” I asked, feeling confused.

“You pretty much tore this family apart,” Kelsey replied, rolling her eyes. “You were good enough for Ethan. I always knew it, and now everyone else sees it too.”

I pressed my lips together, trying to hold back my feelings.

“You know he was the one who cheated on me, right?” I asked her.

She scoffed at my words.

“From my point of view, he upgraded,” she replied, shaking her head.

“Now settle into your new room… because starting tomorrow, you will work for the Cash family now.”

**Gavin’s POV**

“Matt seems to be recovering well, Alpha Landry. He should be able to return soon.”

“Home tomorrow morning. I want to keep him here overnight one last time for observations,” Doctor Pierce said as she reviewed Matthew’s files.

Matt had been in the hospital for a week. He had to undergo minor surgery.

Thankfully, he is recovering and seems to be back to his normal self. However, I’ve noticed some changes in his attitude. He appears a bit down, and I couldn’t understand why. He has hardly said a word to me since he got better.

Irene’s brother had just woken up from surgery a few days ago. Irene had just come to see him, but when I asked her why she wasn’t showing more concern or spending time with him, she only brushed me off. She claimed she was busy.

with her wedding preparations.

I made a mental note to check in with her again later to see what was really going on with her.

“Thank you, Doctor,” I said to her. Dr. Pierce was one of the best in her field.

I was relieved to call one of the best doctors in the country, Dr. Taylor. She always helped me when I needed it most. Not only was she an amazing doctor, but she was also the fated mate of Beta Taylor. Because of her busy schedule, she traveled a lot, which meant she was often away. However, when she was around, I knew I could count on her.

She was here, and they were always together. It was almost hard to watch.

“Of course,” she said, thinking carefully.

I went back to Matt’s room and saw him scrolling through the tablet I had given him for entertainment. He looked up and smiled.

His eyes met mine for a moment before he looked away again. I sighed, running my fingers through my hair for what felt like the hundredth time.

“Okay, I give up. What’s going on with you? Why are you acting this way?”

“Are you giving me the silent treatment?” I finally asked him.

He looked at me, and his frown grew deeper.

“Do you really not know?” he replied.
