Zachary studied her. "Why are you always so wary? Am I some sort ofcriminal?"

"Haven't I always been like this?" Lulu replied.

Zachary pursed his lips. "I love you, Lulu, and that's never changed,y'know?"

Lulu sensed that something was wrong with him right then. "You knowI've forgotten.”

"You have, but you could ask about the past, couldn't you?"

He was referring to the possibility that someone might have told Luluthat his mother tried to kill her.

"What are you talking about?" Lulu raised a brow.

"Do you know what your previous profession was?"

"What?"

“Forensic doctor,” Zachary replied. "We both graduated from the sameuniversity, and we used to date as students-"

“I'm sleepy,” Lulu said, not wanting to hear further and sensing thatZachary was acting weird.

Zachary, however, ignored her and continued. "When it comes topeople of our profession, we are sharp when it comes to drugs...”That was why the drug he spiked her milk with was colorless andtasteless, and he would not have sensed it either if someone else wereto give it to him.

Lulu felt her strength leaving her body right then, as if it turned into jelly.As she could not even stand straight, Zachary held her arm. "I'll helpyou to bed."

"No," Lulu said in refusal.

"You don't have to refuse me at this point." Zachary said, taking herinside even as Lulu came to a realization.

“You spiked the milk?!" Her eyes bulged in anger. "What are you tryingto do?"

Zachary stared at her. "I'm trying to make you stay."

“That's why you brazenly spiked my drink?!" she exclaimed,thunderstruck.” Is this who you really are?"

Did she really fall for someone as despicable, shameless, and heinousas him? Was she blind?

Zachary simply put her limp form in bed, and sat on the edge as hewatched her. “I don't know how you found out that my mother tried to Killyou, but I know your temper. You'd never forgive us, but I don't wantyou to leave me..."

Lulu laughed coldly. "Is that why you're doing this? I'll just hate youmore if you do. Do you know how much you disgust me?"

Zachary froze.

He disgusted her?

He then realized what he did was wrong.

How could he do this?

He rubbed his temples, deciding that he was so afraid that she wouldleave him that he was being this outrageous.

“I'm sorry..."

He apologized as he fled the room, understanding how despicable hewas behaving toward Lulu.

What would she think of him now?

She would push him away further, would she not?

On the other hand, Lulu only breathed again when Zachary left.

She was convinced for a second there that Zachary would...

She slowly closed her eyes, hiding her panic!

Meanwhile, Irene received a phone call in the morning.

It was from Dennis Turner, director of Hotmesh, asking if she had madea decision since he would be retiring in a couple months.

“I'll give you a reply soon," Irene said and hung up.

She headed to the washroom, standing outside as she looked at theman washing his face.

"Isaac, we should just put off the wedding completely for now."

Isaac looked up at her, strands of wet hair dangling over his brows.

“I want to work," she said, voicing her intention to take over as director,mainly because she was convinced she could do it and contribute tothe nation's medical field.

Isaac, however, was reluctant since their children were still young, andher job would definitely make her busy.

With him being a busy man, who would stay home to take care of theirchildren?

At least one of them should stay at home and keep an eye on thingshere. "Are you asking my opinion, or have you made up your mind?"
