Jonas took a step forward and pulled down his mask. "Old Mr. Fuller, Old Mrs. Fuller, I've brought Nora here. I heard that Old Mr. Fuller wasn't feeling well, so I thought I'd come up and pay a visit. How are you feeling now, Old Mr. Fuller?" "Thank you. I'm all right. You don't have to worry," Gerald said with a chuckle.

"That's good. Since Nora is here, I'll take my leave now. Goodbye, Nora. Goodbye, Old Mr. and Old Mrs. Fuller. Goodbye, Mr. Fuller." Jonas put on his mask and left the ward.NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.

"Nora, your friend is quite handsome. He's a fine young man," Allison said with a smile.

As she spoke, she subtly glanced at Zachary.

Based on her years of experience, she was certain that Jonas had feelings for Lenora.

He was also much more sensible than Susanna.

Lenora didn't quite grasp the underlying meaning of Allison's words. She chimed in, "Grandma, he's a huge/celebrity. He's quite popular among young girls." "Really? How did you two meet?"

"When we were kids, his family lived right next to mine. We were neighbors, but they moved away later on. I never thought we'd cross paths again.

"That's quite the coincidence!" Allison exclaimed. "You two must be childhood friends, right?"

I suppose so."

Zachary sat motionlessly on the couch, his expression growing increasingly somber.

"Nora, you've been working all day and must be tired. Thank you for coming to see us. You should head home and get some rest. Zack, will you take Nora home?"

Zachary had made up the excuse of working for her in front of Gerald and Allison.

However, they weren't fools. Zachary had arrived early with Susanna, but Lenora hadn't shown up all day. Considering the indifferent attitude Lenora had displayed toward Zachary carlier, they knew there were issues brewing between the couple once again. Gerald couldn't meddle in everything. He could only let them resolve their own issues.

Grandpa, it's all right. I'll stay here with-

Before Lenora could finish speaking, Zachary stood up and moved to her side. "Let's go!

Gerald waved his hand. "Go on

Lenora pursed her lips. She had no choice but to follow behind Zachary as they left.

Once they left the ward, the two moved in unspoken agreement, wordlessly making their way toward the

elevator.

The surroundings were serene and still, with only the gentle hum of the ascending elevator breaking the silence.

The elevator doors slid open.

Lenora and Zachary entered one after the other, with Zachary pressing the button for the floor above.

The elevator doors closed and it started moving.

In thi

In the confined space, the atmosphere was heavy and stiflingly silent.

Upon reaching the floor where Lenora's ward was located, they exited the elevator.

At the doorway of the ward, Lenora stopped and looked at Zachary's back. "You should head home tonight."

Her eyes had mostly recovered. There was no need for him to stay around anymore. Gerald's health had also significantly improved. A night nurse would suffice.

Zachary did not respond. He pushed open the door to the ward and switched on the light.

A burst of white light suddenly filled the room, illuminating every corner.

"Why didn't you answer your phone?" Zachary suddenly asked.

"My phone died, Lenora walked in, placing her bag on the table.

Her nonchalance was so apparent that anyone could tell she was lying.

Zachary took a couple of steps in, then turned to look at Lenora. "I've been looking for you

all day."

Lenora settled onto the couch. "I never asked you to look for me."

"Lenora, do you really have to talk like this?"

Lenora looked up at him. "What? Why did you look for me? I'm an adult. Do you think I would get lost or something?"

"I was worried you couldn't take it."

""Don't be ridiculous."

Zachary looked into Lenora's eyes, took a deep breath, and said softly, "I'm sorry about the incident online. Susanna is..."

Seeing Zachary fall silent, Lenora looked straight at him. "What about her?"

"Susanna is a public figure. She can't afford to be associated with negative news..."

"Oh, so she can't afford to be associated with negative news, but I can?"

"Lenora, by the time I found out, things had already escalated. Suppressing the situation was the best way to handle it. I thought you would understand. But now, silence is the only way..." Upon hearing Zachary's words, Lenora instantly lost

ioning further.

This whole mess started with him and Susanna, but she ended up bearing the unfair reputation of being the third party. She faced public scorn, while he acted like he had no other choice. The underlying reason was simply favoritism.

Truly loving someone means never letting them endure indignity, just as he staunchly defended Susanna from any negative press.

His heart wasn't with her. Even though he knew she was being wronged, he persisted, continuing to subject her to injustice.

He had already made it crystal clear that he cared only for Susanna. There was no use in her questioning any further. He would still do something to hurt her.

If she were to argue with him, there was a chance he might accuse her of lacking empathy and ruining Susanna's career. Seeing that Lenora was silent, Zachary added, "I'm sorry. I didn't expect some extreme fans to target you... Though he hadn't anticipated it, the scare she had received from the couriered package should have been, a warning. He simply hadn't factored it in.

He only cared about whether Susanna would be affected. Her well-being was not within his consideration.

"Zachary, constantly saying sorry can be more annoying than helpful sometimes," Lenora said calmly, looking up at him.

She had already dealt with her negative emotions on her own, so his apology to her now didn't matter.

He had apologized so often that it had become meaningless.

He had nothing else to offer her, and she had heard it so many times that her ears were practically growing

calluses.

Zachary's expression stiffened. He lowered his gaze and asked, "What do you want?"

"You want to make it up to me?"

Yeah."

"Okay, I want you to promise me something, but I haven't quite figured out what it is yet, I'll let you know once I've decided. Don't worry, I won't force you to break up with Susanna,"

In truth, Lenora had already figured it out. She just couldn't voice it out yet.

Gerald's health had improved, and she wouldn't be divorcing Zachary any time soon. But as time went on. the child growing in her belly would inevitably be revealed.

She hoped that if she were to divorce Zachary, he would be willing to give up his custodial rights.

"All right, you have my word," Zachary responded decisively.

"I'm tired. You should head back."

Having been slapped, he should have been very angry.

He had thought that she would confront him that night, just as she had done before, arguing with him.

Yet, she was so serene at that moment, calmly driving him away, that a vague sense of uncase stirred in his

heart.

However, he simply had no reason to stay any longer. All right then, I'll be leaving first. You take care and get some rest"

Suddenly, Zachary's steps came to a halt.

Seeing that he was still standing there, Lenora asked with a hint of confusion, "Why aren't you leaving?" Zachary noticed the rosary around Lenora's neck and distinctly remembered it wasn't there this morning. How it came about was self-explanatory.

"Where were you today? Were you with Jonas the whole time?" Zachary asked, his gaze falling on the rosary around her neck.

"Yeah, is there a problem?" Lenora replied, raising her eyes to meet his. "Where were you last night? Were you with Susanna the whole time?"
