Chapter 600

Ember's face turned pale right then.

How could she have forgotten? Zachary had changed! He was nolonger the same man from before!

Naturally, she had to save her mother, and so, she held out her hand.“Let me sign it already!"

Zachary's assistant passed her the divorce agreement, and Emberpicked up a pen.

To think that the marriage she had gone through so much for was nowatits end.

There was certainly no happiness to be had from coercion!

Now, she felt both spite and regret!

Closing her eyes for a moment, she signed the divorce agreement."We will go our separate ways now, Zachary Slate," she said, throwingthe ballpoint pen carelessly on the desk.

Now, she no longer felt love for the man-only hatred for ruining herfamily.

"Now give me the money you promised!"

"Why should I?" Zachary said, lounging on his couch.

Ember frowned. "You told me that you would give me money if I signedthe divorce agreement. Are you breaking your promise?"

“I did.” Zachary did not deny it, but pointed out, "You just didn't sign it atthe time, and the effective period is now over. The money is gone now."Ember felt her rage flaring. “You tricked me?"

“Not really. I offered you an opportunity, but you didn't take it," Zacharyreplied, already impatient. "Now get out of here!"

Ember refused. "You have to pay me! My mother is still in the hospital!Her medical bills need to be paid!"

"What does that have to do with me?!" Zachary shot back, andgestured for his assistant to call in security.

Ember was seething, but there was nothing she could do-there was noway she could win against Zachary now.

He could do anything he wanted with her!

The security guards soon arrived, restrained Ember, and dragged herout of Zachary’s office even as she bellowed his name endlessly.

Her voice soon faded from that floor, affording Zachary peace andquiet.

He glanced at the divorce agreement on this desk and rose to his feet.His cellphone then rang, and he picked it up.

It was a call from Erin Gooding-he had delegated James Cross's careto her after transferring him to another hospital.

"Hello? J-James just woke up."

Her thrill was palpable.

Zachary did a double take before realizing what she was saying."Really?!

I'll be right there."

He was certainly surprised-James waking up was a miracle!

He drove much quicker than he usually would, arriving at the hospitalward to replace James with his eyes opened in his bed!

Walking up and clapping him on the shoulder, Zachary exclaimed, "Ithought you'd be sleeping for the rest of your life!"

Then, turning to Erin, he asked, "Have the doctors taken a look athim?"

"They have." Erin beamed. "There are no issues-he just needs somephysiotherapy and he'll make a full recovery.”

“Leave US for a moment,” James suddenly said. "I need to talk toZachary."

Erin was left pouting. “Where's your conscience? I've been taking careof you all this while and you've never thanked me! Now, I'm in yourway?

Watch out, or I'll beat you up."

"This is important,” James said feebly. "Please."

Zachary glanced at James and then at Erin, his lips curling up into asmile.” Yeah, keep flaunting. I'm sure you're immune to death flags.”Erin's cheeks flushed right then and she ran outside in embarrassment.Zachary sat on James's bed then and kept teasing, "Alright, now makeit quick-I'd really hate to be a third-wheeler.”

Nonetheless, James's expression suddenly turned grim!

Zachary frowned. "Wait, what are you going to say? Don't look soserious- you're spooking me."
