The assistant glanced back just as the car drove into a tunnel. The man's face was hidden in the shadows, making it hard to see clearly.All she could make out was his hands resting on his knees. He casually flicked a lighter on and off.The lighter was plain silver-white, with no fancy patterns or brand names. It was just a simple, old-school flip lighter.The only thing that stood out was the orange gem at the bottom. It shone like the last glow of a sunset.It did not seem to fit someone like him, but he had kept it close for years, never once letting it out of his sight.After driving out of the tunnel, the masked driver checked for traffic. It was all clear, so he floored it and zoomed toward the eastern woods.The woods were thick with bushes, blocking the car's way. They had no choice but to leave the car and walk.The assistant, Sadie Sanchez, was all business in her leather outfit and short boots. Her hair was styled to match the rest of her outfit. She and the masked m

Chapter 182

Zara jumped to her feet and grabbed a stick lying nearby, swatting at the grass.There was nothing there.The night breeze made the leaves whisper. When Zara looked up, the shadows of the trees looked like weird, wavy hands.The longer she watched, the more the murmuring leaves sounded like a woman's scary whisper.Her head was filled with scenes from all those spooky movies she knew were just make-believe, but they still sent shivers down her spine.If one stayed in a creepy place like this for too long, one could scare oneself silly without anything even happening.Zara tried to hug the tree in front of her, thinking she could climb up and spot some lights to find her way out.The tree was a tall, skinny cryptomeria with no branches to grab onto, though. She barely got a meter up before she fell, landing so hard that her tailbone hurt.At least the pain took her mind off being scared.Zara tried to look on the bright side, thinking her fall was not for nothing.Suddenly, sh

Then, an even louder call for Zara drowned out Nord's voice, and he stopped dead in his tracks. He was right on the edge of the darkness.Zara, who was running, looked up in alarm. Was she hearing things?Did someone just call out to her?"Zara!"There it was again, a call. It had to be for her.Zara stopped and spotted two sets of headlights coming closer. In a flash, the headlights turned into blinding beams, lighting her up from dozens of yards away.Like a sudden ray of sunshine breaking through the clouds, Yosef appeared.The forest was huge, with many paths to choose from. However, without any signs, they could only guess which way to go unless a local showed them the way.Yosef was really lucky. He found the main road and parked his car not far from Zara, about 20 or 30 meters away.When the two men saw people coming, they looked at each other and quickly disappeared into the trees.Zara had not realized she was so close to the right path. She had been walking in the w

Chapter 184

A bunch of strange-looking people came out of nowhere, swarming around. Charvi, just a regular secretary, was pretty scared."What are you doing? I'll call the cops if you come any closer!"When she threatened to call the police, the villagers charged even faster, yelling, "Catch them!"Zara sensed trouble and tried to get down from Yosef's back, but he would not let her. He held her tight and kicked away a villager who charged at them."Yosef, you have to let me down!" Zara pleaded."You think I can't carry you to safety?" Yosef said, glancing at her while ducking a swinging stick.They were outnumbered, and it was clear they could not get away like this.Zara grabbed the car door and yelled, "Get in the car!"Yosef pushed away another villager, spun around, and helped Zara into the back seat. Charvi quickly followed.The moment Yosef made sure Zara was safe, she spotted a stick hurtling toward them. Her eyes flew open. "Yosef!"The stick slammed into Yosef's back. He let ou

The night air was cool and misty, creating ghostly shapes under the streetlights.Zara said calmly, "I'm not a doctor. Showing me won't help. You should really see a professional, Mr. Webb."She ignored his playful suggestion.Yosef let out a huff and watched the light play across Zara's face by the car window.She was wearing his oversized coat, which made her look even smaller and more delicate.Her hair was a mess, and her face was still pale. It reminded him of how she looked on a rainy night three years ago.He looked away and muttered, "Still the same."Zara knew he was talking about her but did not ask why. She just said, "Ms. Weber meant to hurt me today.""So, you want me to make it right?" Yosef turned up the heat in the car, filling it with a comforting wooden scent."No, I just wanted to tell you, Mr. Webb."Forget the fact that Sarah was connected to him; he might not even help her if she were a complete stranger.Zara just wanted to give him a heads-up about wh

As everyone looked toward the door, Sarah shuffled in.Zara's expression changed at the sight of her.Sarah came up to Zara, her voice earnest. "Ms. Lowry, I'm really sorry. The joke I played on you today was too much. Mr. Webb has already given me a talking-to, and I'm glad you're okay.""I'm okay?" Zara echoed her words, but inside, she knew it was not true. If Yosef had not shown up when he did, who knew what might have happened?Zara kept these thoughts to herself, but that did not mean Sarah could just brush off what she did as a simple joke.Then, out of nowhere, Sarah slapped herself across the face!Everyone was shocked, Zara included. She had not seen that coming. She glanced at Yosef, but he just looked on, his face unreadable.Sarah slapped herself hard, leaving a bright red mark on her cheek. She looked at Zara with regret in her eyes. "I'm really sorry, Ms. Lowry. I didn't think before I acted. What can I do to make things right?"Zara took a deep breath. "I'll tak

Who?Ophite mulled over Sarah's features. He had not noticed before, but now that Yosef had mentioned it, her face did seem familiar...Right then, the elevator doors slid open. Ophite looked up, surprised to see they were on the first floor."Why are we on the first floor?" They were meant to return to the 19th and 20th floors.Yosef stepped out. "I need to grab something from the front desk."It sounded like a quick errand, so Ophite pressed the door open button, deciding to wait for him.Before long, Yosef came back with a little first aid kit in his hands."Did you get hurt?"He noticed Yosef press the button for the 17th floor and smiled. "Is Ms. Lowry hurt? Are you going to help her with a bandage?"Yosef gave him a quick look but said nothing.Ophite felt a sting in his heart. "But Ms. Lowry has Stanley with her now. She probably doesn't need your help.""Then you should go and get him to leave."Ophite was speechless.Why did it feel like he was helping a friend sn

Yosef grabbed her hand. Zara tried to pull away, but he quickly picked up a cotton ball with tweezers, dipped it in iodine, and pressed it onto her palm.Zara gasped.Yosef gave her a teasing look and kept cleaning the scrapes on her palm with the cotton ball. She had gotten them when she fell out of a tree.The scrapes were not too bad, but she had not wrapped them up. After washing her hands, the skin looked white and puffy.Zara wondered when he had even noticed them.Stanley had stayed so long and had not seen a thing.Yosef asked, "Don't you know how to put on a bandage?""They're just scratches. They'll be fine in a couple of days."Yosef grabbed the ointment, squeezed some onto the cut, and gently spread it with a cotton swab. "Sure, you can see if they get better after you die from lockjaw," he said with a hint of sarcasm.Zara just rolled her eyes. She would be a fool to expect sweet words from a sour face.Once he finished with one hand, Yosef reached for her other

Chapter 189

Zara took a deep breath.Only two months had passed, not two years. She remembered everything clearly. He had wanted to use her as a pawn for his business deal. Was he now pretending that time could change the truth?Zara stopped her wandering thoughts, thoughts that Yosef kept pulling her into. She quietly packed up the first aid kit on the table.She picked up the humidifier Chelsea had given her, took it to her room, and plugged it in. A fine mist with a hint of orange scent filled the air, calming her.Yosef was ready to pay a lot to make her forgive Sarah. Any woman with him was protected.Except her. Even when she was with him, she felt used.Zara bit her lip and glanced at the clock. It was after eleven. She dialed her sister's number to check on their mom.Her sister usually answered at this hour, but tonight, the call was cut off.Zara's brows were furrowed. What was going on?...Meanwhile, in a ward at Starville Hospital where silence should have reigned, a heart m

Chapter 190

A humidifier sprayed fine mist in the bedroom, filling the air with a sweet hint of orange.The woman on the bed was deep in sleep, snuggled in white blankets like a delicate dandelion.Shawn sat on the edge of her bed and gently lifted her blanket, not worried about waking her.He looked at her as if they were meant to be close.Zara, who always got chilly, was in her cozy cotton pajamas. Shawn checked her over to make sure she was not hurt and then he took her hand.She had a big bandage on her palm. Shawn softly touched the edge of the bandage with his thumb.After a moment, he put her hand back and tucked her in again.He whispered, "Zara."Shawn did not linger in Zara's room. After about ten minutes, he closed the door behind him and left Room 1702.He hit the button for the elevator down.The doors slid open, and there was Yosef, his eyes locking with his....The next day, Zara woke up when she felt like it.She stretched out, feeling light and comfy. She yawned a b
