Dr. Crawford left the ward, but his voice continued to reverberate in Zenios’s ears.“Zenios, relax and try to recuperate. I need to go home.”Zachary, who had arrived in his room to say goodbye, spoke with eyes overflowing with concern.Zenios, who felt as if a knife had cut through his heart, simply nodded.Zachary gently patted his shoulder and turned around to leave. However, Zenios steeled himself and said, “Wait, Second Uncle. I have something important to tell you.”Zachary, who stood in front of the bed, had an exceptional amount of patience for Zenios.“Go ahead.”“I’ve received the DNA results. It’s… concluded that that baby is mine and Carlie’s son. Carlie is his biological mother. That baby is our son!”He squinted his wicked blue eyes, which were brimming with tears.Those tears included the guilt he felt for deceiving his uncle and his deep self-loathing.‘I respect Second Uncle most of all. He’s my role model. He’s the last person I should be lying to! But… I h
To be precise, she was walking toward Zenios!“I vaguely heard you mentioning the test results outside the door just now. Are they the results of the DNA test between the child and me?” Charlotte sat down by the bed.She did not want to disturb Zenios’s recuperation, so she originally planned to wait for Zachary outside the ward, but when she heard Zenios talk about the test results, she could not help but enter the room.“Yeah...”Zenios felt guilty for a moment, but his gaze turned determined within a split second.“I’ve already told Second Uncle that your DNA matches that of the child. Carlie, you’re the biological mother of that child, and I‘m his biological father. He’s our lost baby!” While speaking, he held Charlotte’s hands excitedly.He knew that if Charlotte were to learn about the truth that he had lied to her in the future, given her personality, she would definitely despise him.However, there was no turning back now. Ever since he had decided to lie, he had to stra
Zenios was stunned as happiness was bestowed upon him so suddenly. He stared fixedly at Zachary as he walked away and only came back to his senses when Zachary was already at the door, “Thank you, Second Uncle! Carlie and I will be grateful to you forever...“Second Uncle, I love you!” Zachary walked out of the ward indifferently and decisively, without looking back at Charlotte.“Carlie, why are you crying!?” Upon shifting his gaze back onto Charlotte’s face, Zenios was panicked when he noticed she was crying.He understood the reason behind those tears in the next second. “Carlie, Second Uncle has always loved Lorraine deeply, and he has no feelings for you. The both of you are just spouses on paper. This piece of news does deserve your tears of joy now that you’ve finally got rid of this nominal marriage.”Upon hearing what Zenios said, Charlotte’s tears gushed down more intensely.‘Zachary cares about Zenios! To him, I’m just an adornment. Therefore, it’s reasonable for him to
Although Zenios was unwilling to let her go, he was speechless. After all, Zachary had said that he would only divorce Carlie in three days. As such, all he could do was suffer for three more days!“Milady, let’s go!” Lucas pulled Charlotte’s cuff, and Charlotte followed Lucas out of the ward.“Sigh! What’s the matter? What happened between you and Second Master? I really can’t figure this out. Second Master loves yo— Milady, did you ask to be married to Zenios? Otherwise, Second Master wouldn’t have done this.” Lucas sighed after leaving the ward.Charlotte did not say a word but shook her head with her teary eyes.“Milady, you’re as stubborn as Second Master. You guys just won’t say anything! Let’s do it my way. While it’s still not too late, you’ll apologize to Second Master later. He must’ve come up with such a stupid idea because he had lost his head just now. His heart will definitely melt away as soon as you apologize to him, and he’ll not divorce you then.”‘Would Zachary
“Sigh! If that’s the case, just pretend that I haven’t said anything, let’s just forget it...” Lucas shook his head in disappointment.The glimmer of hope in Zachary’s eyes disappeared instantly as the luxurious black car moved forward steadily.In the past, every time Zachary sat in the same car with Charlotte, he would always sit with her. This time, Zachary sat in the passenger seat, and she sat in the middle of the car alone.Charlotte returned to the Divine Sanctuary district, and she never saw Zachary again later on.Three consecutive days had passed.As soon as she got up, Lucas, who was waiting for her in the living room, greeted her, “Milady, Second Master is ready, are you ready?”Charlotte did not care on the surface. “Isn’t it just a divorce? What can I do to prepare myself? Let’s go!”About half an hour later, Lucas drove Charlotte to the hospital.As soon as Charlotte got out of the car, a tall, well-built figure quickly dashed toward her, pressing his hands on he
“Second Uncle, you and Carlie will be divorced in a while, you—”“Let her go!” Zachary’s voice was sharp and stern, like a curse from the underworld.Looking at his face again, it was so biting cold that it looked more threatening than a glacier.Zenios took a step back in fright and involuntarily let go of Charlotte’s hand. He then stared at Zachary’s expression, which was as gloomy as an overcast sky.“I don’t understand... Second Uncle, you personally agreed to let Carlie go that day. And you’ve come today, aren’t you going to go to the city hall to divorce Carlie later? In ten more minutes, give or take, Carlie won’t have anything to do with you, and she’ll be my wife—”“Why are you so confident that you think she’ll become your wife?” Apart from the usual coldness, there was a fit of subtle jealousy hidden deep in Zachary’s voice.“Whether you can win her over depends on whether you have the ability.”Zenios was stunned.Lucas was dumbfounded.Even Charlotte got caught of
“I’d like to apologize, Second Uncle. I didn’t think you’d keep your promise, and I yelled at you too. I guess I’ve misunderstood you. You were just teasing me.”Zenios stretched his right hand out the window and waved at Zachary.Drag racing was a form of art, one where a single, tiny mistake could lead to dire consequences. Zenios’s right arm may be injured, but that did not hinder his driving skills. Zachary had already tied his right arm. Regardless of how much skill he had, he was bound to lose.Zachary remained expressionless. Only his cold, dark, inky eyes narrowed dangerously.Once Lucas yelled, “Go!”, the black and white luxury supercars flew off the starting line.Lucas drove Charlotte as they followed them closely from behind.“Be honest, milady. Who are you rooting for?” Lucas asked with a smile.Charlotte curled the corners of her lips but did not reply.It didn’t matter who she rooted for!She was well-versed in drag racing, so once Zachary offered to drive with
“Zachary!”Upon realizing that Zachary wasn’t answering Lucas’s call, Charlotte kicked the door open and ran toward the river in panic.“Zachary, calm down. It’s just a game. Winning or losing doesn’t matter, you don’t have to—”The roaring sound from Zachary’s vehicle cut her off. She watched as Zachary’s car sped into the river. Charlotte’s heart skipped a few beats.Splash!She heard a loud noise from below as the car submerged into the water.Charlotte wasn’t sure what happened.From a professional standpoint, the chances of Zachary running into an accident were at 99.9%.Hence, she was too afraid to look. She stood in the center of the road in a daze like a puppet. The thought of Zachary’s grim situation brought a wave of agony into her very being. “You can do it, Second Master! Two thumbs up for you, Second Master! I love you, Second Master!”Lucas’s cheers resounded from the riverside.Only then did Charlotte manage to gather her courage and walk closer. She watche
