Zayn lowered his eyes to hide his emotions. "I should be the one who takes the most responsibility if you're right. It has nothing to do with Bethany if I fall in love with her. But why don't you come to me?""No! She's the one who should take responsibility! Because she seduces you!" Joanna shook her head and insisted that Bethany was the problem.Zayn looked at Joanna again and said "You are being unreasonable! Let me tell you something. You shouldn't hurt anyone no matter whose fault it is. I have tolerated you for quite a long time,Joanna. I'll call the press and tell them I'm breaking the engagement between you and young master Sebastian .""Not Never! I will not agree!" Joanna forgot her leg was in a cast and supported her both up with her arms. 'You want to break off my engagement and you wish to get together with Bethany? No way!' she thought."You think you could stop me?" Zayn's lips curled into a teasing smile. Joanna finally knew he meant it.Something came to her mind. Jo
Zayn was just about to answer her when another severe electric current appeared. Bethany had to put her hands over her ears for the reason that her eardrums were so painful as if they had been perforated. But what she did was only a temporary solution. She still suffered the impact of the sound of electric currents. Zayn saw a painful look on her face. He set his mouth in a grim line, and then he took off his coat to cover it over. Bethany’s head, suffering from the pain, Zayn put his hands over her hands, through the coat, to help her against the hurt from the electric currents. Then Bethany could hardly hear the electric currents. The painful look gradually disappeared from her face. She looked up at zayn. At that moment, she realised that Zayn was protecting her when he suffered from the great pain caused by the electric currents. She was deeply touched and then her nose twitched. "Mr. Meyer." Bethany called his name softly, in a strangled voice. Because of the noise, Zayn c
Jeff didn't move at all. Bethany was not sure if he was awake. Three hours later, the plane made a slow descent. Bethany woke Jeff up. After coming back to his senses,Jeff had a spasm of nausea and dizziness.He tried hard to control himself. Unfortunately, it only succeeded for a short time. When he got off the plane, he couldn't help it and threw up into a trash can. Bethany stood beside him, unscrewing a bottle of water. When he finished vomiting, she handed him water and tissues. Taking the water and tissues, Jeff thanked her weakly with a pale face. Bethany was somewhat amused. She looked at him and asked, "You've suffered before. Why are you so airsick this time?" Jeff drank the water and then answered, "I forgot to take my air sickness medicine this time." "Oh, I will buy you some later in case you will suffer again." Hearing his words, Bethany quickly said. Jeff smiled. "You are so nice! Well, I think you need to help me walk. My legs are weak" "No problem” Bethany put
He remembered that she had said these two words to him the night she had wept and panted beneath him. "Boss, what's wrong?" Zayn suddenly stood still. Gael, who was following him, asked. Zayn came back to his senses and coughed softly, pressing his fist to his lips. Then he answered calmly, "Nothing" Glancing at Bethany, who was still surprised not far away, he boarded the cruise. Gael followed him. Seeing Gael and Zayn, Bethany wanted to greet them. However, Jeff suddenly stood in front of her, blocking her view. "What are you looking at?" He asked with a smile. Bethany turned her gaze and shook her head. "Nothing. When will we board?" "Now. We need to check in." Jeff pointed to the front desk and held out his hand to her. Bethany was confused by his action. Jeff explained, "This time, you're here as my girlfriend, so we have to act like a couple. Otherwise, people will suspect." "I see." Bethany gave a faint smile and took him by the hand. Jeff held her hand tightly and le
Bethany was struggling in the water, shouting and waving her arms around frantically.Perhaps it was because she had been struggling for so long that her action had begun to slow down.She was unable to exert herself, and her body began to slowly descend. Seeing this, Jeff immediately dropped the envelope with the pictures in it, jumped over the railing, and swam toward Bethany. "Benny!" When he reached her, he grabbed her by the neck, held her head up, and tock her toward the cruise ship's water-date.But the cruise ship kept moving. It was slow, but it was still much faster than a human's swimming speed. He swam for a long time but did not reach the cruise ship. Instead, he was left behind. But the good news was that someone on the cruise ship had dropped the life buoy. If he grabbed it, people on the cruise ship could pull them out. But he was taking Bethany while swimming, so it wasn't easy to catch the buoy. Plus, he hadn't swum for a long time and hadn't warmed up before j
She remembered that Jeff had saved her before Zayn did, but Jeff suffered a cramp in his calf and was also drowning then. She wondered if he was fine now. Zayn's calm face darkened when Bethany mentioned Jeff.He took her glass and put it on the bed heavily. "You care so much about your boyfriend?" he sneered. "Boyfriend?" Bethany was surprised. Zayn set his mouth in a grim line. "Isn't Jeff your boyfriend?" “Of course not." Bethany was amused "It'sa hoax . We are just friends" “Hoax?"Zayn was feeling better. "Yes.He knew he would meet Miss Quade here. So he asked me to pretend to be his girlfriend, to let Miss Quade give up." "Do you believe his words?" Zayn leaned back in his chair. Bethany blinked. "Why not?" Zayn looked into her clear eyes and felt helpless.She was so simple. It seemed to her that she was pretending to be Jeff’s girlfriend to help him get rid of Ms.Quade but Zayn knew that this was only one of Jeff's purposes. Jeff wanted everyone to regard Bethany as hi
Suddenly, his phone rang. In an instant, Zayn's smile disappeared. He put the photo down, picked up his phone, looked at it, and held it to his ear. "Hello?" “Oh, good. I know you are still up." Davis giggled. Zayn leaned back in his chair. "What's the matter?" "I wouldn't have called you in the night if it wasn't about Jessie." Dave rolled his eyes. Zayn rubbed his temples. "Say it. What's the matter?" "It's about the cornea again. Today the hospital could offer another pair of corneas, but she was not satisfied and refused to have surgery anyway. At this rate, she'll be blind in a few months." Dave sighed. Hearing Dave's words, Zayn felt displeased too. He set his mouth in a grim line. "What does she want to do? Why isn't she satisfied?" "I've asked her this question too. She told Me that she wanted someone's cornea "“Is that one alive?" Zayn's hand clenched on the phone and his face darkened. Dave shook his head. "She said that person would soon die." That person would s
Zayn did not answer her but pulled her along with a sullen face. When they got to the elevator, the door opened. Zayn narrowed his eyes at the people in the elevator. "Get out!" Being frightened by his cold tone and temperament, people in the elevator all came out quickly. Soon, the elevator was empty. He walked in along with Bethany.He threw her against the wall of the elevator and turned to close the door. When the elevator door closed, he turned and cornered her. "I told you before, he was a bad guy and I told you to stay away from him, but you wouldn't listen!" Bethany lowered her eyes and said nothing. But she pushed him, trying to get out of the corner. Zayn grabbed her hand with one hand, and with the other, as Jeff had done, he took her by the chin and wiped her lips vigorously with his thumb. Her lips had already been bitten by Jeff. So, her skin was broken. Now Zayn’s behaviour made her frown in pain. "What are you doing?" She bit Zayn's finger. Zayn stopped and loo
