“Mmm…” Lenora closed her eyes, her hands instinctively reaching up to wrap around Zachary’s neck, responding to him with fervor.
The two were intertwined in a passionate exchange. Zachary slowly pulled away from her lips. A delicate thread of clear ambiguity stretched between them, finally snapping in the middle.
His face bore a look of restrained patience, and his brows furrowed deeply. His eyes were intently fixed on her expression, and he adjusted the rhythm of his hand movements.
Lenora’s eyes narrowed slightly, her gaze hazy. Her face was flushed, and her lips, both red and moist, parted slightly to let out a soft, coquettish moan.
Zachary quickly placed his other hand over Lenora’s lips, silencing her soft hum before it could escape.
Lenora’s elegant eyebrows slightly furrowed.
Her eyes were closed, her breathing becoming more and more frantic. A low, unbearable moan escaped from her throat.
Suddenly, she stiffened, her eyes tightly shut. Her face was as radiant as a blooming flower, her body limp and uncoordinated. Her arms, weak and powerless, slid from around Zachary’s neck, and she almost fell to the floor.
Zachary caught her just in time. Withdrawing his fingers, he casually wiped the liquid on her dress. His voice was hoarse when he asked, “Nora, are you feeling any better now?”
וד
Lenora leaned against his chest, her eyes closed, offering no response as if she had fallen asleep.
It seemed she was feeling a lot better.
Zachary gently supported Lenora’s waist, making her sleep a little more comfortably.
The helicopter touched down on the rooftop near Gerton Hospital. Zachary straightened out Lenora’s clothes and immediately carried her into the hospital.
When Lenora woke up, it was already early the next morning.
The sunlight spilled onto her pillow.
She naturally opened her eyes, and what greeted her sight was a pristine white ceiling.
The crisp chirping of birds echoed from outside the window, brimming with vitality.
Lenora surveyed the room’s furnishings and wondered what had happened. Could this be a hospital? Wasn’t I vacationing on Oceanic Road? Why am I at the hospital?
Lenora closed her eyes, striving to recall everything that had transpired the previous night.
With a creak, the door swung open, and the sound of footsteps entered the room.
Instinctively, Lenora opened her eyes only to find herself locking gazes with Zachary

Zachary quickly moved to the bedside. “You’re awake. How do you feel?”
“I feel fine…” Lenora found her throat feeling dry and uncomfortable.

Immediately, Zachary poured a glass of water, gently lifted Lenora’s head, and held it up to Lenora’s lips.
After taking a couple of sips, Lenora turned her face away and asked, “Why are you here?”
Why am I here? Do you remember what happened last night?”
Lenora closed his eyes, taking a few seconds to recall. All she could vaguely remember was that she seemed to have been drugged.
She was in a daze, unable to clearly remember many things.
A moment later, she said softly, “I can only remember some things.”
She then opened her eyes, gazing at Zachary with a detached expression. “You were still following me, weren’t you? Zachary, what will it take for you to let me go?”
As he met her icy gaze, Zachary suddenly stiffened.
As it turned out, he was the only one who cherished the tender moment they shared the previous night.
Since the effects of the medicine had worn off, she had become indifferent again.
His eyes held a somber depth as he asked in a low voice. “Do you have any idea what would have happened last night if I hadn’t been with you?”
Lenora gazed into Zachary’s eyes, her lips parting gently. “I know.”
Zachary paused. “Do you?”
Lenora averted her gaze, casually looking out the window. “I would’ve slept with Maxton, right? Isn’t that it? To be honest, I quite like him. What’s wrong with a one–night encounter? Isn’t this quite common among adults these days?”
When traveling, one might find someone they fancied and spend a night together. Afterward, they would part ways and never see each other again.
Zachary’s face instantly darkened after he heard Lenora’s words. In fact, his face almost turned green

His eyes were as deep as a black hole, fixated on Lenora Gritting his teeth, he asked, “You quite like him? What’s wrong with a one–night encounter? Lenora, say it to me one more time!”
Lenora turned her head, meeting Zachary’s gaze without flinching. “I really quite like him. He’s young. handsome, and full of life. He addresses me affectionately, makes me laugh, and brings color back into my otherwise dull life. He makes me feel young again.”
“So, did I just waste my whole day yesterday, ruining your plans?” Zachary gritted out those words through. clenched teeth.
“It’s not a big deal. I can always look for him again. I just want to tell you something. Don’t impose your

beliefs and preferences on me. You’ve been following the around, thinking you’re doing me a favor, but in reality, it’s been incredibly annoying. You think you’ve saved me, but that means nothing to me. So, stop following me around, all right? I beg you!”
A surge of emotion welled up in Zachary’s chest when he heard her say that she would look for Maxton again.
She even said that his act of saving her meant nothing to her.
In her desperation to stop him from following her, she even resorted to begging him.
With gritted teeth, Zachary enunciated, “Lenoral You weren’t like this before! I should never have let you travel with Sophia. Look at what you’ve become after spending time with her!”
Lenora was not accustomed to Zachary criticizing Sophia in such a way. She glanced at him and said, “I’ve always been like this. Have you only just noticed? When I was studying abroad, I was even more outgoing than-
“Shut up!” Zachary’s anger was uncontrollable, his eyes seething with a crimson rage. Unbidden, the medical report and investigation results kept surfacing in his mind.
Indeed, quite a few international students led a decadent private life while studying abroad.
Once Lenora’s words fell, there was a fleeting moment when he truly wondered if the child was a result of some reckless behavior during her time abroad. He even wondered if the number of miscarriages had caused Lenora to have a delicate uterus.
Zachary straightened up and took two steps back, looking down at Lenora from a higher position. “So, is this your way of telling me not to follow you anymore? I’ll ask you again. Are you sure about this?”
Beneath the blanket, Lenora’s hands tightly gripped the bedsheets. Showing no outward emotion, she answered, “I’m sure.”
“All right. All right. All right,” Zachary said, his anger turning into laughter. “Lenora, you’ve won. From now on, whoever you choose to be with is none of my business. I won’t follow you anymore!”
W… that, Zachary turned around and left.
With a loud bang, the door to the was closed.
The room fell silent in an instant.
Lenora silently stared at the ceiling, her eyes unknowingly turning a deep shade of red.
She took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and swallowed the sourness in her throat.
The previous night, his helplessness and restraint seemed vividly etched in her mind.
She knew it all.
However, there was someone standing between them.
Even if that person were to vanish, things could not return to the way they were before

?
Lenora didn’t want to continue this entanglement with him, so she had no choice but to take decisive action in a complex situation. Zachary, if I’ve hurt you. I’m truly sorry.
He kept showing up in front of her, time and time again, only serving to immerse her in the past, una to move forward.
However, Zachary probably wouldn’t be heartbroken for too long. His so–called affection for her was nothing more than guilt and possessiveness, much like many men who, after a divorce, still pestered their ex–wives. It was not out of love but merely a manifestation of possessiveness.
After some time had passed, he would come to realize that he didn’t actually have feelings for her. The one he truly cared for was Susanna.
This time, Zachary had really left, and Lenora was supposed to feel happy.
Lenora wanted to smile, but her lips felt as heavy as if they were weighed down by a massive load. uncontrollably drooping downward. The expression she revealed was even more unsightly than a tearful one. 1
