Chapter 154 Miscarriage And Hunger Strike

Zachary turned a deaf ear, continuing. "I'll have Miranda bring some food over."

"Don't you understand when I told you to get lost?"

Lenora still had her eyes closed, her voice calm and indifferent. "That makes sense. Otherwise, you wouldn't have locked me in the bedroom."

Zachary stiffened, standing still in silence for a considerable amount of time. "All right," he finally conceded, "I'll leave. Once Miranda arrives, make sure you eat something

He slowly stepped out of the hospital room, taking a seat on the chair by the door. His eyes were bloodshot.

Upon hearing the creak of the door, Lenora let out a sigh of relief. Only then did she slowly open her eyes. Her eyes were rimmed red, brimming with unshed tears that she couldn't hold back any longer. When she faced Zachary, all she could do was clutch the bedsheet rightly, restraining herself to prevent losing control.

She had never felt such regret before, regret for falling in love with Zachary and marrying him.

Lenora knew that it was her destiny not to be surrounded by her loved ones. Her family had passed away one after another, leaving her alone,

Therefore, she had desired to have a child of her own.

Therefore, even if she were to divorce Zachary, she still wanted to give birth to this child.

This was her own child.

Yet, this hope, in the end, was just hope.

She didn't give birth to her child.

She would never have her own children again.

In this world, she remained alone.

If, back then, he had not chosen to marry Zachary, perhaps things would have turned out differently. Why didn't the world entertain "what ifs

Miranda brought over lunch and chicken broth. Looking at Lenora's pale little face, she let out a sigh. Mrs. Fuller, please eat something."

"Don't call me Mrs. Fullert

Startled, Miranda glanced toward the door before she softly said, "Ms. Wilkin, please have something to eal"

"I'm not hungry right now, Just leave it there," Lenora said calmly, staring at the white ceiling.

Miranda was about to say something else, but Lenora interrupted her, "Could you please leave me alone for a while? I need some time to myself." With a sense of helplessness, Miranda stepped outside. She spotted Zachary at the end of the corridor, smoking, and walked toward him.

""Mr. Fuller, Mrs. Fuller still refuses to eat."

Zachary's slender fingers held the cigarette, tapping off the ash. "Let's give her some space for now."

The smoke drifted with the wind, settling on the ground.

The ground was littered with countless cigarette butts.

Upon seeing Zachary's eyes, which were bloodshot and veined with red, Miranda couldn't help but sigh.

Zachary had never smoked before. It was unclear when he started, but his craving for cigarettes had become quite intense.

A couple of days ago, Gerald passed away. Today, Lenora lost her child. Zachary hasn't had a break for days, probably relying on smoking to keep himself alert and awake. Alternatively, these two realities were saddening, striking unexpectedly. All he could do was numb his emotions by smoking.

It was indeed her fault. If she hadn't gone grocery shopping at that time, Lenora wouldn't have...

At this point, it seemed like this young couple had only one path left to tread.

Throughout the entire afternoon, aside from the medical staff who had come to remove the IV from Lenora's hand, she was the only one in the hospital room.

As evening fell, Zachary once again entered the room.

Upon hearing the sound of the door opening, Lenora slowly turned her gaze. However, as soon as she recognized the newcomer, she promptly looked away and shut her eyes. Zachary stiffened, taking two steps forward and stopping two meters away from the sick bed. "Nora, I know you don't want to see me, but could you please cat something first?" Lenora remained silent, as if she hadn't heard a thing.

She had lost the desire to speak to Zachary,

Regardless of what Zachary said, she kept her eyes closed, showing no reaction whatsoever.

Until

the next-day, Lenora hadn't touched a drop of water or any 1

Zachary stood in the hospital corridor outside the patient's room, his silhouette radiating solitude.

After a long while, he finally made up his mind and dialed someone's number.

"Hello, Zachary?" Jonas voice came through the phone,

"It's me. Nora had a miscarriage, and she's refusing to eat or drink anything. I need you to come over and talk to her!" Zachary gripped his phone tightly, his tone carrying a hint of command. He reckoned since was so fond of Jonas, wouldn't his presence make her a bit happier?

At that moment, there was a brief silence on the phone. Then came Jonas' accusatory question. "Zachary! Was it you who caused her miscarriage? Why won't you just leave her alone?" Jonas asked again, "Which hospital? Which ward?"

Zachary provided the address.

"I'm on my way," Jonas said before promptly ending the call.

Half an hour later, Jonas arrived in front of the hospital room, where he saw Zachary.

He didn't believe that Zachary's current state of exhaustion was due to Lenora. More likely, it was because of the death of his grandfather, Gerald.

He scoffed at Zachary before pushing the door open to enter the room.

Lenóra mistook the person for Zachary, staying silent with her eyes closed.

Jonas stepped forward, taking a seat by the bedside. In a soft voice, he said, "Nora, it's me."

here?" Upon hearing the sound, Lenora slowly opened her eyes and looked at Jonas. "Why are you

"I came to see you," Jonas said. Spotting the breakfast laid out on the table, he asked, "Have you had breakfast yet? Do you want me to feed you?"

"I'm not in the mood to eat right now. Lenora shook her head.

"Nora, I understand that you've lost your child, and it's hard to accept. But look at it from my perspective, from the perspective of a friend who cares about you. The loss of this child isn't necessarily a bad thing. Don't take it the wrong way for my bluntness, but think about it. If this child is born, you'll never be able to gone. and escape from Zachary, I know you married him out of gratitude to Old Mr. Fuller. Now that he is there's no child to tie you down, you can divorce Zachary and be yourself again! Zachary is nothing more than a selfish, unprincipled capitalist. He's not worth your energy!"

Lenora stared straight at the ceiling, her eyes as calm and lifeless as a stagnant pool, devoid of any vitality.

Indeed, she could divorce Zachary,

But what about after the divorce?

It seemed as though she had lost the will to live.

One by one, the people she cared about passed away, leaving her questioning the purpose of her existence.

Seeing Lenora giving no response, Jonas spoke again. "If Mr. Wilkin were still here, he definitely wouldn't want to see you like this. Nora, think about it. He shielded you with his own body. Do you think he wanted to see you lying half-dead on this hospital bed? You need to pull yourself together, live well, and make the most of each day. Only then will you not let down Mr. Wilkin and Old Mr. Fuller!"

When Fernando's name was mentioned, a hint of emotion finally appeared in Lenora's usually expressionless eyes.

Indeed, her father had protected her until his last breath. He had given his life so that she could live on, happily and carefree. Furthermore, Gerald, despite his severe regrets.

She still had to replace Susanna. There were still many things she hadn't done.

Even though she was alone now, she had to keep moving forward.

"I understand. You can go ahead and leave.

"Do you really understand?"

"Yes. Don't worry. I'll eat well," Lenora said softly. "Thank you for making the effort to visit me."

Jonas could tell that Lenora had absolutely no desire to speak at the moment.

The fact that she agreed to eat was already quite a good sign.

All right, then. I'll come and see you again in a couple of days."

Zachary was standing outside the hospital room. Through the window, he saw Jonas sitting by the bed, conversing with Lenora about something.

Lenora also opened her eyes to engage in a conversation with him.

A moment later, Jonas rose to his feet, stepping out of the sick room. He locked eyes with Zachary, let out a cold huff, and strode away.

Subsequently, Zachary saw Lenora propping herself up from the head of the bed. She reached over to the bedside table for the bowl of oatmeal and began eating it, spoonful by spoonful. Zachary let out a sigh of relief, though his heart was filled with a bitter-sweet sorrow.

Was she really that infatuated with Jonas?

Jonas had hardly been inside for long, had barely spoken a few words, and she had already listened.
