Sotiria’s eyes filled with emotional tears. She felt as if a piece of sponge had been stuffed down her throat. Besides, she couldn’t say anything more.‘See! That’s just how Garrison is! Let’s put aside the fact that he’s gotten himself hurt just to save me. The first thing he thought of when he woke up wasn’t how badly injured he was, but to ask if I was hurt… That’s true love! Zachary may have said that he likes me, but he’s never mentioned “love” to me at all. However, I know that Charlotte Simmons is the only woman he could ever love. He would never love me. Only Garrison’s love for me is pure and flawless! And only Garrison deserves my effort to really let go and show him my love!’“Dad, what are you doing here too?”After showing Sotiria concern, Garrison finally noticed Ivan’s presence. His eyes filled with nervousness as soon as he looked at Ivan. “Don’t say anything yet, dad. I have something to say first. If you’re here to tear Tiria and me apart, I don’t want to hear an
Zachary was always as cold as a mountain of ice. He rarely showed any sign of emotion.However, at that moment, Sotiria could see a clear hint of concern in his inky, blank eyes…Lorraine was Zachary’s fiancée. She was hurt because she had taken a knife for him. It was perfectly logical for him to be concerned for Lorraine.‘But why did my heart feel this inexplicable sense of jealousy when I saw that look in his eyes?’“Even though Lory will be alright, she saved your life. At this point, you owe her twice for saving your life now.” A clear voice drew closer and closer toward them.Sotiria was shocked because that voice sounded exactly like Zachary’s.She followed the sound of that voice and saw a face that looked exactly like Zachary’s. She was even more shocked. Her hands and legs turned ice-cold, and her entire body trembled.Was it really possible for two people to look that much alike in this world?At that point, Zachary replied in a cold, indifferent tone, “I draw a cle
Zachary did not answer but instead cast his gaze on Sotiria abruptly.Sotiria, who had been looking up at him before this, exchanged gaze with him all of a sudden. She felt like she had been electrocuted, and her heart was throbbing like the thunder of a storm.She lowered her head in an instant.“What do you think?” Zachary’s voice pierced through her like a piercing cold blizzard.Sotiria looked dumbfounded. She raised her head cautiously and felt even more so when she saw that Zachary was still staring at her. “Are you talking to me?”Zachary, whose face looked as cold as a glacier, responded, “Yes.”“I don’t understand...” Sotiria’s eyebrows twitched, and the corners of her mouth trembled slightly. “This is a matter between you, Lory, and this gentleman who looks a lot like you. It’s also a major life event for you, so does it have anything to do with me? You should make your own decision, right? Why are you asking me for my opinion?”She took a peep at Jebediah as he was gi
‘I want to change my mind all of a sudden. I don’t care about what other people think. I just want to follow my gut feeling and tell Zachary that I don’t want him to marry Lorraine.’Zachary was conscious of Sotiria’s mood swing and reminded her indifferently. “I’ve told you more than once that you don’t have to care about what others think of you. Just give us what’s on your mind now.”It was obvious that he was encouraging her to say “no” boldly!For a moment, she almost gave up on the struggle.However, she was still sober. She knew that it was wrong for her to do so!‘Zachary is a regal and perfect man, while Lorraine is a beautiful and flawless woman. They are a match made in heaven, and they should be together. What’s more, given Zachary’s personality, if he married another woman, he’d be loyal to his wife and would never pester me again...’As such, Sotiria made up her mind silently. “I think you should marry Lory.”The moment she said that Sotiria saw Zachary’s tall body
‘Since I’ve agreed to marry Garrison, I must never go back on my own words! I must completely sever my relationship with Zachary today so that I won’t feel any impulses or entanglements that I shouldn’t be feeling from today onward!’“No! No, I haven’t!” Sotiria shook her head decisively as she stared directly at Zachary’s frigid eyes courageously. Although her heart was dripping blood deep down, she acted indifferently, just like a merciless assassin on the surface. “Speaking of my reaction when I see you. You’re a regal, handsome, and charming man, Mr. Connor. Any woman who approaches you will react to those traits subconsciously. Such reactions are purely physiological and have nothing to do with how I feel.”Zachary’s dark and thick eyebrows were slightly creased.Sotiria ignored his reaction and continued to say indifferently, “Mr. Connor, don’t blame me for speaking too bluntly. I really don’t have any feelings for you. Although you’re an excellent man, you’re not my type at a
The doctor thought Jebediah was Zachary and answered respectfully, “Mr. Connor, thanks to you, you sent your fiancée here just in time for the rescue procedure. Although the stab was deep, it did not hurt her vital organs. Therefore, Ms. Larson will be fine as long as the wound isn’t infected. She’ll need to stay in the hospital for further observations and should be able to go home in a few days.”The doctor had already told Jebediah long before he arrived at the hospital that Lorraine’s injury was not serious, and Jebediah was even more relieved now.He followed the hospital bed and walked toward the ward together.Sotiria supported Garrison behind Jebediah.At this time, a familiar voice came from behind Sotiria. “Ms. Green, can I have a moment with you?”Sotiria looked back and saw Lucas standing at the elevator entrance. His golden, curly hair and the two oversized earrings hanging on his ears were particularly conspicuous.She knew that Lucas must be here to talk to her abo
If Lucas had not said this to her, she would have never thought that she, a woman who was notorious for her promiscuity, could actually revive Zachary.“I know that Zachary tackling a married woman isn’t morally acceptable, but I still supported him. Not only because I felt that he had come back to life when he was pursuing you, more importantly, I know very well that the cold-hearted Second Master would only disregard his reputation and influence when he’s really in love...”Lucas looked at Sotiria angrily and continued. “But what about you? What have you done? You’ve killed Second Master’s will. And once that part of him is dead, he’ll go back to the condition that he was in before he met you. How can you be so cruel to Second Master?”Sotiria felt an indescribable dejection and pursed her lips apologetically. “Luke, I know that what I did is a little cruel to your Second Master. But I’m sorry, that’s the only thing that I can do.”She then turned around and was about to leave af
The two nurses chatted with each other happily as they walked away.Sotiria had no idea why but she felt a stuffy sensation in her chest when she heard that Lorraine and Zachary were going to get married. She decided not to visit Garrison anymore. She turned around and walked outside to get some fresh air. There was a garden behind the inpatient building.It was the flowering season. Birds were chirping happily, and the air was filled with the fragrance of flowers.Just when Sotiria was walking in the garden, she suddenly heard someone giggling. She turned around and saw a young lady was pointing at a Magnolia tree not far away. “D*mn! How can he be so hot and handsome while both of them are men? I really want to throw myself on him! No! Not only do I want to throw myself on him, but I also want to bring him home and sleep with him!”Another girl laughed and said, “Anna, how can you still have so much energy although you’re so sick? Besides, don’t forget that you’re married. Ar
