"What the hell!"
Zac cursed loudly as he took out his phone. When he looked at the caller ID on his screen, he saw that it was Leila calling him.
He was just about to hang up the phone when Essie took the phone and said, "Take the call," as she slid her fingers to answer it. She proceeded to walk away to give them some space to talk.
"Zac! I just had an accident and got injured. I'm in the hospital and I don't know anyone else from this city. I'm scared. Can you please come over?"
Zac was silent for a few moments, before he finally said, "Okay."
Upon hearing what Zac said, Essie's heart sank with disappointment and utter dejection. She suddenly felt a hint of regret that she picked up the phone.
"I'll be back as soon as I can." He stroked her hair feeling a bit disheartened. He was unsure if his actions made her feel any better but he also didn't have the time to console her.
Essie faced away and pursed her lips together. Her anxietie

"Our families have a history of conflict and opposed the relationship between the two of us. Otherwise, we would have been married." Leila truly believed that her relationship with Zac wasn't able to develop further because of the dispute between the two families.Mandy sneered, "If you truly loved each other, you could overcome any obstacle. I'm afraid to say but I think he simply didn't love you enough.""Do you know who else has the freedom..."

Hazel was slightly taken aback upon seeing Leila. She nodded politely to her and was about to go on her way when the other woman shot out a hand to detain her. Leila said, "I heard what you said just now."Hazel faced her. "Leila, don't you think it's beneath your dignity to eavesdrop on others' conversation?""I just want to know if your boyfriend whom she was referring to was Zac." Leila was not the sort of person to beat around the bush, so she directly confronted Hazel.Leila's words made Hazel's insides quiver like a plucked string. As expected, people in love were so sensitive that they did not need any names mentioned to easily guess the relationship between them. If she said yes, would that ice guy be angry and blame her for causing a misunderstanding and sabotaging his relationship with Leila?They had been apart for too long, and it was not easy for them to reunite. He definitely wanted to maintain their relationship. Hazel, as the unnec

Hazel didn't really want to talk to Leila, but with Mandy sitting next to her, she just had to explain. "The truth is, I don't really have a boyfriend. I just had a friend pretend to be my boyfriend for their engagement ceremony." She said this casually while looking straight into Leila's eyes. "Are you satisfied now, Miss Leila?"Leila pouted and stared at her blankly for a moment. She wanted to say something to get under her skin, but her words had rendered her speechless.The situation had made Mandy feel sympathetic towards her friend, so she put her arms around her shoulder to hug her. As her best friend, she could easily sense what she was trying to do."Your friend seems to have a particular curiosity about me," said Hazel, as she took a sip from her glass of wine and turned her gaze towards Zac."Curiosity kills the cat," he said. Despite saying this in a light, jokingly way, Leila could tell that what he meant was much serious than it app

At the sight of the newcomer, the smile on Hanson's face froze, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly. "Mom! What are you doing here?""My son is injured. Can't I come to see him?" Florey rolled her eyes at him."Auntie, please sit down." Hazel stepped forward and brought her a chair. She knew Hanson's mother very well. She had met her when she was still in school, and they had met several times when she was still in Bella. Every time, Hazel was under the impression that Hanson's mother disliked her.At that moment, Florey sent an indifferent glance her way. Then, she walked to the sofa by the bed and sat down. "Hanson, where is your nurse? Why isn't she here looking after you?""I asked her to leave. Chris will find a new one in the afternoon to replace her," Hanson said with his teeth gritted.Florey evidently thought that the nurse was doing a poor job of taking care of Hanson, but she didn't say anything.

Hazel nodded aimlessly as if she was in deep thought.Zac furrowed his brows and asked, "Can he compete with me?""Well, he was the champion of our university's street dance competition, so you know, he's a dance king," Hazel affirmed in a mocking tone. Still dancing and swaying, she turned her back on Zac.'Where's he getting this much confidence? How narcissistic!' she sniffed at him.A hint of disgust was written on his face. 'Champion at your university? I was the top dancer back in Harvard—a champion in the US!' "From now on, I'll be your only partner." He asserted in an intimidating tone as if trying to express his ownership over Hazel."Why? I'm not your only partner anyway…" Her bright eyes suddenly turned gloomy when she realized what she had said.
