"After you left yesterday, Lenora mentioned that you two are married and that you've signed the marriage. certificate. Is that true?"

"It is," Zachary responded in a deep voice.

Charles was founded. He hadn't expected it to be true. "Zack, what's really going on? When did this

happen? How come I didn't know?"

"Three years ago."

"Three... Three years ago?" Charles couldn't believe that they had been married for three years.

"How could this possibly be? In that case, Zack, you are... having an affair..."

"Answer my question first. Who sent you to see me yesterday, and who told you about Susanna's injuries?"

"I'll tell you, but please don't be mad at me. It was Susanna who sent me to replace you. She was worried your wouldn't come, so she had me exaggerate a little."

Susanna?"

"Yes.

"Did you see her after she got hurt yesterday?"

"No, she called me because your phone was unreachable. Zack, don't blame me for this. Susanna told me you were with Lenora and she was afraid you would leave her. She was crying and begging for my help. What was I supposed to do?" "Do you know what day it was yesterday?"

It's Susanna's birthday of course.

Nevertheless, Charles knew that wasn't the answer Zachary wanted.

He recalled the moment he found the two of them at Dreamworth Restaurant, amidst the western candlelight dinner and roses. Couhl it be....

"Your wedding anniversary?" Charles ventured a timid guess.

Unlock succeeded

"W-What a coincidence they're on the same day..." Charles chuckled nervously, realizing he had been used

Susanna undoubtedly knows that Zachary and Lenora are already married. She must also be aware that yesterday was their wedding anniversary. Therefore, she deliberately chose that moment to send me to replace Zachary, Luckily for him, Zachary and Lenora were dining together, and it was evident that Zachary's somewhat favored Susanna. If the situation were reversed, then Charles' assistance would instead have been detrimental to her.

He had known Susanna for many years and was reluctant to think of her in such a way, but there was no denying what happened. It seemed to him that it was better not to meddle in the affairs of others.

"I understand you were unaware, so I'll let it slide this time. Make sure to apologize to Lenora later. Don't let this happen again."

"Got it, Zack," Charles immediately responded.

He understood very well that regardless of how much Zachary adored Susanna, the latter's wife deserved at certain level of respect.

Meanwhile, Miles was efficient in carrying out his tasks. He quickly sent the footage from the set to Zachary's phone, along with a message: Mr. Fuller, the surveillance on set happened to be broken. This video was accidentally captured by the photographer who was in charge of shooting the behind-the-scenes footage.

A thoughtful glint flashed across Zachary's eyes.

The surveillance was broken... Was this a coincidence, or...

After watching the video, Zachary came to a conclusion. He went straight to the office of Susanna's attending physician.

The doctor happened to be on break when he saw Zachary approaching. Somewhat taken aback, he asked "Mr. Fuller, what brings you here?"

"Doctor, I have a question for you."

"Are you asking about Ms. Carston's injury? Go ahead, I will share everything I know."

"I want to know what the real extent of Ms. Carston's burn injuries are."

The doctor's expression shifted, but he quickly regained his composure. "Mr. Fuller, I'm not sure what you're talking about. The actual extent of her burns? Isn't it documented in the medical records?"

Zachary remained composed, his confidence unwavering. His eyes were sharp, and he smiled faintly. "Dr. Wendel, I hope you know what's good for you. You have a choice-offend Susanna or offend me. Choose

oile.

"I'll tell you... I'll tell you... Ms. Carston's actual burn area is not even one percent. She only had two blisters on her leg. I didn't want to do this, but Ms. Carston and her manager asked me to. Without a signature and stamp, the medical record holds no validity." "In other words, Ms, Carston wasn't actually unconscious at all."

"Correct. Ms. Carston was conscious when she was brought to the hospital yesterday."

"Alright, I understand now. Thank you."

Zachary rose to his feet and left the office.

He recalled his arrival at the hospital the day before. It was almost ten in the evening then. Susanna had awakened in the morning, a full night later, leaving no room for suspicion.

Zachary stood in the hallway outside the ward, his gaze fixed on the distant sky.

Had he not investigated the matter himself, he wouldn't have believed that he was deceived by Susanna and her manager.

Why did they do this?

He might have had a rough idea in his mind, but he wanted to hear Susanna's explanation.

With that, Zachary entered the ward.

Susanna smiled at him. "Zack, you're back. You really didn't have to be out for so long. The film crew didn't stay long."

Zachary wore a nonchalant expression. "I just took a little stroll. How are you feeling now? Does it still hurt?"

"It hurts... It hurts a lot still, so I need you by my side. With you by my side, the pain would fade away."

If Zachary was unaware of the truth, he would certainly keep her company.

Now that he knew she was acting, it clearly looked fake to him.

Her acting skills aren't up to par. She needs more practice.

Zachary remained expressionless. "Where does it hurt?"

Susanna said, "My back, waist, thighs, and calves are all aching."

"Your back? Did you also get a burn on your back? But last night, Yelena mentioned that your burn was on your abdomen."

Susanna's face stiffened as she attempted to cover up, L.. I also have a burn wound on my abdomen. It hurts a lot too."

Zachary scrutinized Susanna with a discerning gaze.

His gaze was sharp and piercing, as if he could see through everything.

"Indeed."

Susanna looked at him, steeling herself as she nodded and avoided his gaze.

"I think I made a mistake. Yelena didn't say that your burn was on your abdomen. Instead, it was on your arm. Does your arm hurt?"

Susanna was taken aback, immediately realizing she hall given herself away.

"Zack. Zack, you already know, don't you? I'm sorry. I shouldn't have deceived you." Susanna immediately wore a pitiful look, her eyes brimming with tears. "It's all my fault. I'm to blame. I was just too scared. I was afraid you would fall in love with Lenora, I was afraid you would leave me. Yesterday, you onl sent me a text message for my birthday. I thought you wouldn't come to see me. That's why I resorted to such a scheme. I missed you so much, I... I love you too much, Zack. I can't live without you."

Zachary stood emotionless by the side, watching her cry pitifully.

He was no longer certain if her tears were also part of her act.

The last time they spoke, her words conveyed a similar sentiment over the phone. She was terrified she loved him too much, and that was why she made a mistake.

After hearing too many excuses, anyone would grow weary.

Upon seeing Zachary's expression, Susanna felt her heart drop. Without any hesitation, she threw off the covers and climbed out of bed, hurling herself into Zachary's arms. She cried out, "I'm sorry, Zack. Please forgive me, I'll listen to whatever you say from now onl Zachary supported her with one hand while the other reached into his pocket to retrieve a small square box which he placed on the table. "Actually, I have already prepared a gift for you. Even without this incident, I would have certainly come to see you last night." Susanna sobbed, "I was wrong. I let my insecurities get the best of me. I shouldn't have lied to you. Zack, can you forgive me, please? From now on, I promise to listen to you."

Zachary glanced down at her. "Susanna, you shouldn't think like this. You don't need to obey me. You are your own person. You've done quite well on your own these past few years abroad. So, no one is indispensable to anyone else."

Susanna was thrown into a state of panic. "Zack, what are you trying to say? Are you saying you don't want to divorce Lenora! Are you saying you don't want to be with me anymore?"
