The Second Act Revenge (Oneida and Jackson) novel Chapter 221

Chapter 221 

Jackson swiftly opened his eyes, cast a sharp glance at the door, and unexpectedly met Oneida’s complex gaze. 

There was a noticeable pause in Jackson’s gaze, 

His face remained expressionless and cold as his eyes kept staring at Oneida sharply. 

Neither of them spoke. 

A faint sentiment permeated the atmosphere. 

Jackson Oneida muttered at last. 

But at that precise moment, Oneida was shoved aside as Fiona abruptly emerged from behind and deliberately bumped 

into her. 

Caught off guard. Oneida was pushed outside the door frame. 

“Didn’t I tell you Mr. Bane doesn’t need you here? Why are you still pestering him?” Fiona looked downright contemptuous at Oneida while clutching a bowl of slightly steaming pumpkin soup. 

Jackson scowled slightly as he watched them. 

Before he could say a word, Fiona changed her expression, walking toward him with a smile. “Mr. Bane, this is just cooked. Have some while it’s warm.” 

She scooped up pumpkin soup with a spoon and was ready to feed Jackson. 

Oneida watched this scene intently, clutching her fists. 

Although her expression remained indifferent and detached, her eyes were filled with emotions. 

She didn’t like it when Fiona got near Jackson. 

Jackson looked at the spoonful of pumpkin soup brought to his lips, making no move to eat. 

He was put in a dilemma between Fiona and Oneida. 

He hadn’t seen Oneida in a long time, and he harbored some grudges against her. 

The mere notion of her continuing to meet and even dine with Christopher was enough to completely unsettle him. 

Yet, Fiona had been there to take care of him. 

He was not an ungrateful man. 

Fiona had been nice to him, and he didn’t want to hurt her feelings. 

Thus, Jackson slightly bowed his head, his pale lips slowly approaching the spoonful of pumpkin soup. 

Suddenly, a loud bang was heard. 

The door was closed as Oneida turned around and left, causing Jackson to pause. 

Fiona murmured irritably. “What’s wrong with her? Why did she suddenly shut the door? She really has a temper. Mr. Bane, don’t let it frighten you…”

But Jackson suddenly moved backward. 

Fiona’s hand clutching the spoon stopped midair. 

“Mr. Bane, what’s wrong?” Her eyes widened in surprise. Why he suddenly didn’t want her to feed him was beyond her comprehension. 

She was so close to successfully feeding Jackson. 

It was something she had always wanted to do but had never been able to achieve. 

However, Jackson was no longer looking at her, his icy gaze fixed on the closed door. 

Oneida left. 

Suddenly, he felt a pang of disappointment, losing his appetite. 

You can go; I’m not hungry,” Jackson said in a strained voice, leaning against the headboard, his eyes partly shut. 

Fiona reluctantly responded, “Mr. Bane, try some…” 

Suddenly, the door was pushed open. 

This time, it wasn’t Oneida entering, but Gavin and Victor. 

Gavin’s face cheered up upon seeing Jackson awake. “You’re awake at last, Mr. Bane!” 

Victor turned to gaze at Fiona.

His brows furrowed instantly, and with a cold look, he sterly told Fiona. “Who allowed you to come in here? Didn’t I say this has nothing to do with you? Why didn’t you let us know as soon as Mr. Bane woke up?” 

Fiona was left speechless due to his scolding, only managing to stare back at Victor with wide eyes. 

Upon seeing this, Jackson shook his head slightly and sighed. “Cut her some slack. She has been taking care of me. Don’t be so harsh.” 

Victor’s frown deepened at his remarks. 

“Since when has she ever been there to take care of you, Mr. Bare?” Gavin spoke up, baffled. “Mrs. Bane is the one who hast been taking care of you” 

Jackson was taken aback. 

For a brief moment, his breath seemed to cease. 

Victor quickly resumed his composed look and talked to Jackson seriously, “That’s right, Mr. Bane. When you were in critical condition, Mrs. Bane stopped your bleeding and addressed your wounds. She looked after you for three sleepless days and finally dozed off from sheer exhaustion… She was still here just a few hours ago. I got her back to the bedroom out of 

concern. 

As he spoke, Victor shot Fiona a frigid glance. “But this woman barged into your room.early this morning. She’s so rude, Mr. 

Bane 

“I…” Fiona’s fingers trembled violently. She had just taken credit for something that wasn’t hers, and then the real story was revealed 

Jackson had just begun to be nice to her….

And now everything was gone. 

All were gone. 

“It wasn’t like that. I really wanted to take care of Mr. Bane.” She started to defend herself..
