“Don’t overthink it,” Lenora said, lowering her eyes. “You were severely injured because you were trying to save me. I’m just feeling uneasy.”

She subtly shifted her perspective, replacing her heartache with unease.

irving to save her.

Just as she would feel grateful and concerned if a stranger got hurt trying

However, heartache was different.

Some say that when one found oneself caring deeply for a man, it signified that one had likely fallen for

him.

The light in Zachary’s eyes dimmed. “Aren’t you going to ask why I saved you?”

In such a perilous situation, he had no time to think. He didn’t even consider his own safety, instinctively steering the wheel and driven solely by the desire to prevent her from getting hurt.

“No matter the reason, I owe you my gratitude. Thank you, Zachary,” Lenora sincerely looked at

him.

If Zachary was willing to risk his life to save hers, then she was also capable of repaying him with her life.

If there ever came a day when Zachary faced danger, she would willingly risk her life for him. However, she no longer dared to trust him, let alone give him her heart again..

The words of gratitude from Lenora sounded extremely grating to Zachary.

He scoffed, “Is it just verbal gratitude, then?”

“So, how would you like me to thank you?”

“Could you possibly… Zachary blurted out, pausing for a moment, “stay at the hospital and take care of me until I’m discharged?”

For a fleeting moment, Zachary actually wanted to say, “Could you possibly not leave me? Could we perhaps consider remarrying?”

Lenora furrowed his brows, and just as Zachary began to feel uneasy, thinking that he shouldn’t take advantage of someone in distress. Lenora gave a slight nod.

“Sure.”

Seeing Lenora agree, Zachary felt a surge of joy fill his heart suddenly.

Subsequently, he heard Lenora say. “You were injured while saving me; it’s only right that I take care of

you.”

Zachary’s expression stiffened, and the small spark of joy in his heart instantly faded away.

He lowered his gaze, a hint of bitterness flickering in his eyes.

What good would it do if she stayed and took care of me for a few days? We are, after all, destined to part ways.

“Forget it, I was just pulling your leg. I have Miranda to look after me. What are you planning to do next?”

Lenora answered truthfully, “I’m going traveling with Soph and Fiona.”

“Where are you going?”

“I don’t know yet.”

“When are you leaving?”

“These two days I guess.”

Zachary swallowed hard.

Is she really in such a rush?

Lenora looked at him earnestly. “Are you sure you don’t need my care? I can postpone my schedule for two days.

“No need. What are your plans after you return from the trip?”

Lenora shook her head. “I’m not sure. I think about it when I get back.”

After speaking, Lenora noticed that Zachary’s IV drip had finished. She called for a nurse to have it changed.

Not long after, the police arrived, bringing Lenora’s bag. They had already confirmed Zachary and Lenora’s identities from the documents in the car. They briefly questioned them and also revealed the identity of the perpetrator.

He was a wealthy scion who had just gotten a new sports car. He couldn’t wait to show it off on the streets. As a result, his new car ended up being completely wrecked, and he himself ended up with a broken leg.

Upon discovering that the person he had crashed into was none other than the CEO of Fuller Group, he reached out to his family in a state of panic.

However, Zachary didn’t want to pursue the matter. In his heart, he even felt a strange sense of relief that the accident occurred.

Due to that car accident, he and Lenora had become intricately linked once again. If it meant seeing Lenora again, he was even willing to break a few more ribs.

After the police had left, Lenora opened the bag to check its contents. Inside, the cell phone was unscathed.

As twilight fell, she dialed Miranda’s number. “Miranda, there’s been an accident. Mr. Fuller is currently at Mercy Hospital, Could you please gather some of his clothes and bring them over?”

Miranda asked, “Oh? Is Mr. Fuller’s injury serious?”

“Don’t worry. He’s relatively fine.”

“That’s good to hear, Mrs. Fuller. How about you? Do you need a change of clothes too?”

“There’s no need. I’m fine. There’s no need for a hospital stay.”

The conversation was clearly heard by Zachary. Ile closed his eyes, feeling a surge of discomfort in his heart.

In other words, she is set to leave the hospital tonight. Who knows, she might even embark on a trip with her friends tomorrow, and God knows when she’ll return.

Zachary suddenly realized that now that they were divorced, they were no longer obligated to keep each other informed of their whereabouts. Their lives would no longer intertwine.

Later on, she would have her own life and her own job. Perhaps I could only chance upon her occasionally at The Fuller residence. If she were to intentionally avoid me, it wouldn’t be a surprise if we didn’t meet for a year.

The mere thought of that situation left Zachary’s heart filled with bitter sadness.

He truly couldn’t accept it.

“What would you like to eat? I’m going to get some food.” Lenora’s voice interrupted Zachary’s train of thought.

He slowly opened his eyes. “Anything will do. I don’t have much of an appetite right now.”

“Alright, then I’ll pick out whatever is available.”

With that, Lenora picked up her cellphone and left the ward.

Roughly twenty minutes later, she returned, carrying dinner with her.

In her hands, she held a variety of items–bread, fritters, soy milk, and almond and honey oatmeal.

Lenora casually placed everything on the table. “I’ve bought a variety of things. What would you like to

eat?”

“I don’t feel like eating anything at that moment.”

“Even if you don’t feel like eating, you have to. You’re still nursing an injury. How will you recover without food? Besides, you’ve always had a weak stomach…

In the midst of speaking, Lenora suddenly halted, falling into silence.

We are already divorced. It would be better if I watch what I say.

Zachary, too, remained silent. Over the past three years, she often cared for him, reminding him about his meals thrice a day. She feared that he would lose track of time due to his work and meetings, so she took it upon herself to supervise his meals. That was how they gradually developed the habit of dining together

in his office.

Going forward, he would no longer hear her caring reminders, let alone have the opportunity to share a meal with her.

Lenora divided all the different types of food in half, setting them on the bedside table. “I’ve placed them here for you. Help yourself when you feel like eating.”

Seeing Lenora tum out, “Wait!”

to leave, Zachary thought she was about to go. Without a second thought, he called

Lenora halted, turning to look at him. “What’s wrong?

“I feel like having some almond and honey oatmeal. Zachary glanced at his right hand, which was hooked up to an IV drip.

His intention was quite clear.

However, Lenora seemed oblivious to it as she placed the oatmeal on the bedside table to his left, the spoon in the bowl. “Eat,” she said.

This way, he was able to eat his meal with his left hand

Zachary’s eyes dimmed as he silently scooped a spoonful. Just as he was about to bring it to his mouth, the spoon slipped from his grasp, spilling its contents all over the blanket. “Hand me a tissue. I’ve spilled the oatmeal,” he said.

“Be careful,” Lenora advised as she used a piece of paper to clean up the oatmeal spilled on the blanket.

Zachary carefully scooped up another spoonful of oatmeal with his left hand, trembling as he brought it to his lips. Again, a few drops spilled onto the blanket along the way. After a painstaking journey, the spoon finally reached his mouth, but there wasn’t much left.

With a sense of resignation, Lenora reached out and took the spoon from his hand. “Let me feed you.”

“No need, I can do it myself.”

Zachary pursed his lips, his face expressionless as he evaded her hand. He scooped up another spoonful of oatmeal, repeating his previous action, but only added a few more stains to the blanket.

Unable to bear it any longer, Lenora took the spoon directly from his hand. She picked up the bowl, scooped a spoonful, and brought it to his mouth.

Zachary watched her serious expression as he ate the oatmeal she had served him. A satisfied yet imperceptible smile played at the corners of his mouth.

The moment Lenora looked up, the smile had already vanished.

He ate another spoonful of oatmeal, his gaze burning intently on her face.

He was captivated by how stunning and mesmerizing her eyes were.

Her eyelashes were dark and long. Up close, he could see each one clearly. When she blinked, it was like a miniature fan fluttering, twinkling repeatedly.
