Chapter 686

Zachary had arrived without them knowing, and he was glowering ashe warned Ricky, "Stay away from Lulu!"

Ricky simply wiped his lips, vaguely smiling. "Just because you told meto? Do you really think I'd listen?"

Zachary simply gave him a dark look before turning to Lulu. "Are youcoming with me?"

Lulu averted her eyes from his for some reason, appearing evasive justthen!

“Lulu,” Zachary called her again.

Lulu hesitated, but eventually walked to his side.

Ricky remained where he was, but he taunted Zachary. "Lulu loved meeven before she lost her memory. Even now, the feelings she has forme remain in her body, so you can't stop us."

Zachary did not argue and headed straight for his car.

Lulu followed him and studied him gingerly as she got in his car. "I wasconfused, so I didn't push him away.”

Zachary said nothing, because he was in a sullen mood afteroverhearing Ricky's conversation with Lulu.

He had never expected Lulu to replace out that his mother tried to have herkilled, and he actually doubted his mother's suspicion toward Lulubefore!

It seemed now that the fire was no accident-Lulu was a forensic doctorwho had seen all sorts of crime. Even if she had forgotten everything,she would know more than the average person on how to commit acrime without leaving evidence behind!

And it was the case of that fire-there were no traces left at all, and eventhe ensuing investigation suggested that it was just an accident.

Once they arrived home, Mrs. Slate already had the servants prepareddinner.

She had not begun eating since she was waiting for Zachary and Lulu,smiling as she watched them enter. "Dinner's ready. Wash your handsbefore you eat."

She was a lot more cordial now and could act nonchalant despite hersuspicions.

"Shouldn't you be staying at the hospital?" Zachary asked.

"The doctors told me that I can rest at home and I don't like the smell inthe hospital. I'll be fine in my wheelchair anyway, but you should becareful too since you have yet to make a full recovery..."

"Yeah, just stay home if that's what you want." Zachary cut her shortimpatiently and took Lulu's hand, heading straight to the washroom.

He said nothing on the way there.

Lulu thought that he had overheard her conversation with Ricky, but feltthat he did not change the instant he took her hand.

He must only feel grumpy seeing Ricky kiss her, and her apprehensionslowly eased!

When they returned to the dining table, however, Mrs. Slate began towheel herself away, saying, "Could you come with me to my room,Zachary? I have something to tell you."

Zachary did not get up and instead said, "You can say it here, whateveritis.

Mrs. Slate pursed her lips, making an awkward face.

Lulu saw that and nudged Zachary with her elbow. "You should go. Shemust have something to tell you."

As Zachary got up reluctantly, Mrs. Slate looked up at Lulu with asmile." You can get started with us."

"Okay," Lulu smiled in return-both of them were evenly matched when itcame to keeping up appearances!

Once inside Mrs. Slate's room and she closed the door, she toldZachary solemnly, “I have proof that the fire at our home was noaccident. She did it and was trying to kill us with it!"
