Zara stood frozen in place.Yosef sighed deeply. "You've made me so mad. Don't you think you should do something about it?"Zara raised an eyebrow. "Like what? Send you flowers? Mr. Webb, you might as well just threaten me with the photos. That would be easier."There was a moment of silence.Finally, Yosef could not help but laugh. "Alright, if you make me so mad I die, I'll use your photos for my grave so that everyone can see them."Zara could not help herself. "Are you out of your mind?"He bit his lip, refraining from arguing back. He threw off his blanket and clutched his wound, looking as if he was about to get out of bed to get water by himself.Zara watched him. She was worried he might hurt himself again and end up back in surgery at this late hour.Wilder was here, and his loyalty was to Yosef alone. No one was allowed to upset Yosef, or they would face the same fate as Winston.Sighing, she grabbed the water pitcher, filled a cup, and handed it to him. "Why didn't

With a slight frown, Zara stepped forward and leaned over. With one hand, she helped him slip out of the gown.Her hair fell forward, brushing her chest. Yosef, turning his head without meaning to, caught a hint of her light fragrance.He looked up, his eyes resting on her elegant nose. He was so close he could even see the tiny hairs."Can you help me?" Yosef asked as he fumbled with the buttons on his hospital gown.His gaze grew dark as her hair accidentally swept over his shoulder.He was thinking about a recent moment they shared in the utility room."Can you help me?" Yosef asked as he fumbled with the buttons on his hospital gown.Now, he felt a twinge of regret.Zara could tell his temperature was rising. They had been together for three years; she knew him well. She looked up, alert.Yosef quickly hid the longing in his eyes, becoming distant.He noticed her gaze and raised an eyebrow, urging her, "Come on, how long are you going to leave me like this? Or do you want

Zara had only wiped herself down last night, but she already felt dirty—especially with her hair smelling of earth. After another day, she could not stand it.She got some plastic wrap from the nurse to cover her injured hand so that it would not get wet. She tried not to move it either. This way, she could use the shower to clean herself.The VIP ward was spacious, but the walls were thin. The sound of water trickling in the bathroom traveled clearly to the outside.Yosef was lying in his hospital bed, trying to focus on a video call with a client from far away. The sound of water in the background made it hard for him to concentrate. "Yosef?" the client called out. Yosef shook his head to clear his mind and gave a small hum. He took a sip of water from his cup, which was not warm anymore. The client saw Yosef's hospital clothes and said gently, "Yosef, if you're not feeling up for it, we can stop here." "It's okay, let's keep going," Yosef replied. He needed the meeting to kee

Zara turned to face him again.Yosef handed her the cloth, his eyebrows slightly raised. "There's no rush. Take your time."She did feel the rush. Zara knew that every day Sharon was not better was another day her heart would hang heavy with worry.She only managed to stay calm because Cheryl kept saying Sharon was stable. That gave Zara the space to think it over again and again.She really did not want to pick Yosef's solution, so she was searching for another way.Silently, she took the cloth and went to the bathroom to rinse it once more. She then brought it back to him.Yosef shifted a bit. "Could you help me with my lower back? There's a spot of dried blood that's itching."Zara hesitated. "I'm not sure I...""Going abroad for the artificial heart might be better. But with your mom's health, she can't handle a long flight. And you'd be all alone over there, which would make things even harder," he said.Zara gripped the towel tighter. She had thought about going abroad.

Chapter 225

Stanley, standing just outside the door, was about to come in when he heard the conversation through the door that was not very soundproof. He stopped, leaving his hand in mid-air.His eyes were downcast. His glasses were catching the light, so no one could see the look in his eyes. Despite this, there was a feeling of loss around him.He had thought the seed he had been watering was sprouting. However, it turned out to be just his imagination. The seed had never begun to grow.After a moment, he quietly walked away.Yosef let out a huff.Zara, after tidying up, stood up and said calmly, "Mr. Webb, you don't have to pretend to understand me. I haven't talked to Professor Schmidt about it because I don't think it's time yet. When it is, I won't have to ask for his help; he'll help me on his own."Yosef's features stiffened a bit. "Do you think that highly of him?"Zara answered honestly, "He's the kindest person I've ever met. He never expects anything back for helping me; he doe

Stanley had sent Zara the data they collected from Mount Siran in Apricot Village. The next day, as she was hooked up to an IV, she worked on organizing the information. Her injured hand was better, and she worked efficiently. She put all other thoughts aside.After she finished her work, she noticed the IV bag was empty. The nurse came to take the needle out. Zara saw that the medicine label was different from the one she had before. Curiously, she took out her phone and snapped a picture of the label.Stanley could not make it back for lunch and offered to order her some food. Zara, determined to be self-sufficient, said, "I can go down and find something to eat myself." She did not want to be a bother.The sun was high in the sky. Zara stretched her arms wide and yawned. She climbed out of bed, slipped into her coat, and decided it was time to grab a bite to eat.Yosef peeked up from his laptop and said, "Hey, can you grab me a bite too? In return, I'll take you to a show later

Chapter 227

Half of Winston's face was smashed into the broken stones and mud, the other half pinned under Stanley's shoe. Winston spat out in anger, "Curse you! If you're brave enough, finish me off now! If not, I swear I'll make you pay for my injured leg!"Stanley looked down with a detached air, his face showing little emotion. However, he increased the pressure on his foot, driving Winston a fraction deeper into the earth.Stanley had been focused on his data work when this man tried to ambush him from a hiding spot.With his leg now broken, the man was no match for Stanley, who easily stepped on him as if he were stepping on garbage.In any other situation, with the sun high and eyes possibly watching, Stanley would have kept his composure and not stooped to violence.However, who could blame him for reacting when provoked?Stanley had brooded all day over the conversation between Yosef and Zara he had overheard the night before. He could not help thinking that if Winston had not kidna

Charvi quickly put up the partition between the front and back seats of the car.Now, the back was a small, closed-off space.Yanked by Yosef, Zara's knees hit the car floor. Her body was trapped between his legs, her back was against the partition, and he was right in front of her.The tight space left her with no way out.Zara pushed against Yosef's chest, feeling trapped. "What are you doing? Let go!"Yosef, with one hand around her and the other on her chin, looked deeply into her eyes."You could make up a thousand reasons to excuse Stanley's lies, yet you blame me for things I didn't do, Ms. Lowry. You sure are fair," he said with a hint of sarcasm.Despite his injury, he was holding her firmly. Where did he find the strength?Yosef's presence was like a cold breeze, impossible to avoid. "Yes, Sarah left you in the wild forest because of me, but she and I aren't what you think," he said.Was he trying to explain? It was so confusing."I've never cared about what's going

Zara's first instinct was to go for his weakest spot—his injury!Yosef had been caught off guard by her once and was not about to let it happen again.He held her wrists against the elevator wall. When she tried to kick him, he stepped right in close!Zara could tell he was really upset.Honestly, she was not feeling too steady herself.It was just that when guys got upset, they seemed to get stronger. On the contrary, women seemed to use all their strength just to be mad, only to end up feeling weak.He took her breath away with a deep, powerful kiss that also seemed a bit angry.What was he so mad about?The elevator dinged at the 19th floor, and the doors slid open. Yosef quickly let her go. He pulled her out of the elevator, swiped the card to open the door, and then shut it behind them. He instantly pressed her against the door.He moved so smoothly that she did not have a chance to push back.Zara felt like she was just a puppet in his game, and she was boiling with fru

Chapter 230

The last sliver of daylight vanished behind the curtains, leaving the room in a dim, grayish-white gloom.Winter days were short, and just after 5:30 pm, there was barely any light left outside.Zara lay buried under the covers, utterly exhausted. Her breathing was heavy.The corners of her eyes still held the remnants of her blush, and her lashes were damp with tears that had not yet dried.Yosef gently smoothed away the crease between her brows. Zara was too tired to move even though she felt his touch.He let her rest and went to the windowsill with his cigarettes and lighter.He had not felt like this in a long time. He was more captivated than he was when signing multi-million dollar deals.Perhaps it was because Zara had become so defensive since she quit her job, avoiding him like he was something scary. She did not want to be close to him at all, which made him want to win her over.He wanted to see her break down, give in, and cry helplessly in his arms.After finishi
