Lenora stood still, her thoughts drifting back to the news she had just seen. She asked, "Didn't you go to the hospital? Why didn't you sort it out while you were there?" "Who said I went to the hospital?"

"The news reported that the two injured individuals were rushed to the hospital for treatment."

"I didn't go to the hospital."

Zachary saw Lenora standing still and repeated, "Nora, could you come over and give me a hand?"

Lenora observed the knife wounds on his shoulder and arm. Besides that, there were several bruises and scrapes scattered across his body.

Her eyes flickered slightly. Though she was reluctant to admit it, she couldn't deny the concern that welled up within her.

"Why don't you go to the hospital and get it treated?" After a moment of silence, she finally mustered the courage to say it.

"I don't want to. The hospital is crowded and chaotic. Who knows, I might

He didn't like his private life to be under a spotlight.

He also didn't want Lenora to know that Susanna was hurt because of him.

"Should I call Mr. Lancaster to come in?"

"He isn't here. He has gone to deal with something else

"What about your other secretaries...

"If you're not willing, then forget it. I'll do it myself."

Zachary lowered his gaze, a self-deprecating smile playing on his lips. He opened the first aid kit in front of him, rummaging for ointment and gauze.

He haphazardly applied the ointment onto the wound, clumsily wrapping it with gauze in a rather skewed

manner.

After several painstaking rounds of wrapping, he realized that there was no scissors, leaving him no choice but to tear the gauze by hand. After a few attempts to tear it, he ended up tightening the bandage, causing the area around the wound to

turn red.

Suddenly, the sound of a door opening echoed.

He looked up, only to replace that Lenora's figure was no longer in sight.

Zachary froze, leaning powerlessly against the back of the couch, no longer continuing his act.

She genuinely doesn't feel a shred of sympathy for me now. So, acting pitiful is futile already

Zachary closed his eyes in bitterness, grabbing the edge of the gauze. With a simple yank, he tore off the excess cloth and casually tossed it onto the table. ""You fore

tore it already?" Lenora appeared at the office door, scissors in hand.

Zachary looked up, his eyes filled with surprise as he stared at her. He pressed his lips together, then lowered his gaze. "Mmm-hmm, you should get back to work. I can manage on my own. Lenora furrowed her brows. "I brought you a pair of scissors."

She stepped forward, placing the scissors next to the first aid kit. "I'm heading back to work now. Don't forget to have your secretary send over a set of clothes.

Upon noticing that his pants were still damp, she ultimately couldn't resist reminding him.

Seeing Lenora turn and walk away, Zachary felt a tightness in his chest that seemingly suffocated him.

Lenora halted, tuming to look at him. "Is there anything else?"

Zachary slowly rose to his feet, his gaze deeply fixed on Lenora. "Nora, does it pain you to see me injured? Even a little would be enough..."

Lenora was also staring at him, their eyes locked. She let out a chuckle. "Zachary, there's no point in fussing over this now."

Just a while ago, he was still with Susanna, who had taken knife for him and is now lying in the hospital. Yet he has the audacity to come and ask me if it pains me to see him in this state? What on earth is he thinking? "Why not?" Zachary took a step closer.

"Instead of wasting time fretting over this, you'd be better off tending to your wounds and changing your clothes. Then, make a quick trip to the hospital to check on Susanna.

Zachary's face changed, realizing that Lenora could identify him as one of the victims from the news. was natural that she could also figure out that the other injured person was Susanna.

He immediately clarified, "I had lunch with Mr. Chance this afternoon. He left first, and then I ran into those people. I have no idea why Susanna was there, let alone why someone stabbed her. "So, you're saying it's all just a coincidence, right?"

"Yes." Zachary looked into Lenora's eyes, nodding earnestly without a hint of hesitation. "If you don't believe me, ask Mr. Chance. I really don't know..."

"You don't need to explain."

In reality, if Zachary wanted to see Susanna, he could just go. There was no need to hide anything from her or painstakingly create any pretense of coincidence. However, she simply didn't care, Moreover, Susanna, in a touching move, had risked her life to take a knife for him, demonstrating her deep affection.

Now, all it would take was for Zachary to agree to a divorce, and she could immediately grant them their wish of being together.

Zachary's brows furrowed deeply, his eyes darkening. You don't believe what I'm saying?"

Lenora lowered her eyes, falling silent for a moment. "used to trust you deeply, but now it doesn't matter

anymore."

Through his actions, he taught her a lesson. She came to understand that even the person she was sharing a bed with couldn't be entirely trusted.

Her husband was the one who had it easiest when it came to deceiving her and manipulating her trust.

He had personally shattered her faith in him.

Zachary tensed up, a sour feeling creeping up his throat, "Nora, I-"

Interrupting him, Lenora said, "No matter what, Susanna was injured because of you. You can't just abandon her at the hospital. Go and see her. I need to get back to work." She turned around and left.

Zachary reached out, attempting to grasp something.

In the end, her sleeve still slipped away from his grasp, leaving nothing but thin air between his fingers.

Zachary stood dejectedly in place, lying in the mess he had made.

The scent of disinfectant filled her nostrils as Susanna regained consciousness.

The only one by his side was Yelena.

"Where's Zack?" Susanna asked weakly.

Yelena shook her head, gesturing toward the door. "He didn't come to the hospital. He sent his personal assistant instead."

A trace of disappointment crossed Susanna's face. "Didn't you ask Mr. Lancaster why he didn't come?" Zachary isn't keeping vigil by my side here But I took a knife for him! Was it Lenora who stopped him from coming? "I asked, and Mr. Lancaster said that Mr. Fuller is deeply grateful for your kindness. He will cover all your medical and nutritional expenses until you fully recover. He will also urge the police to catch the culprit as soon as possible, to seek justice for you. If needed, he has prepared a check for two million as a token of appreciation."

Susanna couldn't believe it.

Hook a knife for him, and he thinks he can dismiss her with just a bit of money? Has he really have become so heartless now! This is all Lenora's fault!

Yelena added, "I overheard Mr. Lancaster asking the doctor earlier if your current condition allows for air travel."

Susanna's eyes widened, her pupils quaking as she stared at Yelena in disbelief. It was as if she was wondering whether Yelena was lying to her.

She had taken a knife for Zachary, and now, she was lying in the hospital, barely clinging to life.

It was bad enough that Zachary didn't visit her in the hospital, but to think he was still intending to send her abroad shocked her..

Yelena nodded carnestly, affirming that everything she said was true.

Consequently, Susanna lay weakly on the hospital bed.

"What should we do now?" she asked, closing her eyes in exhaustion.

She thought she understood Zachary well enough to seize the opportunity and set up this act, assuming he would feel guilty and make amends just like the last time. However, the way things unfolded was completely beyond her expectations. Yelena let out a sigh. "The doctor said your current condition doesn't allow you to fly. You need to focus on recuperating first. I'll figure out what to do next."

"There's only a few days left!" Susanna couldn't help but express her anxiety.

Once her injuries had slightly improved, Zachary would send her abroad.

Hearing her impatient tone, Yelena felt a linle annoyed "What's the use of you rushing me? Besides, if Zachary decides to investigate this matter thoroughly... Halfway through her sentence, Yelena caught sight of Miles returning from a phone call outside. She promptly stopped speaking.

Miles knocked on the door twice. "Is Ms. Carston awake?"

"Mmm-hmm."

""May I come in?

Yelena cast a glance at Susanna.

Susanna wore an expression of frustration, closing her eyes,

Yelena had no choice but to say, "She's physically weak and mentally drained right now. It's best to let her

After he finished speaking, Miles left the hospital.

Yelena lingered in the ward for a while longer before she too left.

Upon
