Lorraine broke down completely. Grabbing the check, she tore it to pieces and threw them at Zachary’s face.“I don’t want your stupid money! You aren’t recompensing me. You’re insulting me!”Zachary’s sculpted face hardened into a glower.“Don’t get emotional. We agreed on this just now.”“Who did? You’re the only one who thought that I accepted your humiliation just so I could forgive her!” Lorraine screeched, her delicate face now twisted with scorn.“Zachary… Sob… Tell me… If sis and I switched places, if I were the one who hit her and made her lose her child, would you offer her money just to get her to forgive me?”“No,” Zachary answered without missing a beat.Not expecting the man to be so direct, Lorraine, who was heartbroken, jolted as though she had been struck in the head.Charlotte was stunned as well.Zachary! Did he not care about Lorraine the most? Logically speaking, he should be gentler and more tactful with his words, even if he wanted to draw a clear line wi
“Really?”As she looked at Zachary tearfully, this was the first time Lorraine was meeting his eyes with such iciness. In the past, she used to worry about her gaze not being tender enough when she looked at her dream man.“You’ve long abandoned me for her. You’ve fought me more than once. And in your eyes, I’ve stood against you for a long time. Isn’t me setting myself against you the outcome you wanted?”Zachary was actually at a loss for words. After a moment, he parted his petal-like lips.“I’ll hire the best lawyer in this world to defend her. You’ll be digging your own grave if you lose, and if you win, I’ll make sure to make arrangements in prison for her, so going to jail will feel like checking into a hotel.”“…” Lorraine choked up, feeling speechless. It took her some time to speak again.“Then you can wait for your wife to go to jail as though she’s checking into a hotel!”Zachary smirked before tugging Charlotte again to walk to the door without sparing Lorraine an
“Sir, milady!” Lucas was bursting with curiosity when he saw Zachary and Charlotte emerge from Lorraine’s room. He bounced toward them like a meteor.“He he… Miss Larson is as generous and magnanimous as an angel. Furthermore, you’re Mr. Connor’s wife and her sister, so I’m guessing she must have forgiven you, milady… Wait… Mm! Not only has she forgiven her, but she refused your offer for compensation too, sir. Am I correct?”Zachary couldn’t be bothered to answer him.Charlotte curled her lips. “You’re only half right, Luke.”“Huh?” Lucas’s handsome face displayed a hint of disappointment. “Sigh. We’re living in a realistic world. Ms. Larson may be perfect, but she needs to survive. It’s perfectly normal for her to accept Mr. Connor’s money.”Charlotte shook her head. “The other half of your guess was correct. She doesn’t want money, nor will she forgive me. She wants to send me to jail.”Lucas’s mouth was so wide that you could stuff an egg in it.Zachary placed Charlotte on t
“Milady, you know how cold the Second Master can be. He’s already taken the initiative to play along. What are you waiting for?” Lucas hurriedly said when he saw Charlotte standing in a daze in the same spot.Charlotte gulped when she saw Zachary’s addictive, gorgeous, perfect features. Then, she slowly made her way to Zachary.However, when she stood on the tips of her toes and wrapped her arms around his neck, she locked eyes with his abstruse, crystalline eyes and screamed in panic. She stumbled backward until the backs of her legs hit the side of her bed. Then, she stopped.“Ah… Sorry… I’m really sorry. Please don’t be angry with me. You heard it too. Luke was misleading me. I was misled…”She shot Lucas a resentful glare as she spoke.Lucas was being ridiculous. He knew better than anyone that Zachary’s face was a forbidden area to all, yet he had led her to destruction!She, however, had lost her head over lust. She had lost her senses as soon as Zachary had turned his head
Wasn’t it perfectly normal for a male nurse to apply medicine to a woman in the hospital?What year was this? Why was this man so old-fashioned?“Give me the medicine.”Zachary’s cold voice hit him like a frosty wind.The male nurse might not know who the cold man in front of him was, but his intimidating aura frightened him. His hands seemed to have a mind of their own, and he handed the medicine bottle, the cotton bud, and all the tools needed to apply the medication to Zachary.Zachary accepted the medicine, but his mood was not any better. His handsome face was as dark as a cauldron’s bottom. “Relay this message for me: Your current head nurse is fired. Tell your hospital director to personally select a new nurse who actually knows the rules.”‘What? Is this man that powerful? How can he dismiss our head nurse after one disagreement? Our head nurse is simply arranging responsibilities as usual. How did she end up offending this living, breathing devil?’However, despite his
Charlotte’s ears reddened as she stared at Zachary.“You don’t need to trouble yourself. I can do it.”“There are some places you can’t reach.” The man’s melodious voice countered indifferently.Charlotte couldn’t think of a viable excuse to reject his offer.“Be good.” Every word of the regal man sounded like a royal decree that could not be opposed.She didn’t dare object anymore…Zachary was already beside her bed. She quickly flipped over and lay down. “Uh… I can manage the other parts. You can just apply the medicine to my back. Thank you…”Zachary didn’t answer. Only his dark, shapely brows twitched.He twisted the medicine bottle open. However, when he picked up the cotton bud to apply the medication, he broke it by using too much force.He didn’t hesitate. He immediately stuck his well-defined finger into the bottle, wet the tip of his finger, and gently brushed it across her wound.If Charlotte had turned around to look, she would have noticed that his usually icy ga
Zachary cut her off indifferently.‘Well… It’s true… But…’Charlotte was panicking when a large, strong hand held her by the shoulders and flipped her over with ease. Before she could come back to her senses, she came face to face with his passionate gaze!Charlotte panicked.“Zachary, what’s with you… Mmph!”She couldn’t speak, as Zachary had firmly sealed her lips with his thin mouth.Her mind went blank, and her heart skipped a few beats at first. Then, it pounded furiously against her chest!Zachary had kissed her before. However, ever since Lorraine had framed her, she and Zachary had not been intimate again for a very long time. His kiss felt as if it went on for ages.His clothes brushed against her wounds, yet she didn’t feel any pain. All of her senses were concentrated on his faint, charming scent.Zachary’s eyes shone.He really had intended to apply medicine for Charlotte when he had flipped her over.However, when he had seen her face, his final line of defense
The ambient temperature in the ward soared.However, he recovered from the impulse instantly, as if a pail of iced water had been poured on him, when he saw the bloodstains on the sheets!‘D*mn it!’It had only been seven days since Charlotte’s miscarriage, and she was still bleeding, but Zachary had almost...“I might’ve wasted tons of your enthusiasm for nothing. Sorry.” Charlotte’s clear, sweet voice spoke at that moment.Even though it was already clear that he couldn't continue the business on hand, Zachary suppressed his inner urge and restored his usually cold, indifferent composure on the surface. “There’s nothing to be sorry about when it comes to such a thing.”Charlotte stuck out her tongue in embarrassment. “I told you from the beginning. You only needed to apply the ointment on my back for me. It’s done now, so you can leave...” Her slender finger pointed to the door.She would definitely have asked why he was doing this to her immediately if she had not known Zacha
