Chapter 251

The night before Sharon's surgery, Zara thought she would be wide awake with worry. To her surprise, however, the next time she opened her eyes after falling asleep was seven in the morning. Sharon was scheduled for surgery at eight. Zara folded up her bed and freshened up in the hospital's bathroom before heading back to the ICU.Soon after, Cheryl and Troy arrived.Right at eight, the nurses wheeled Sharon off to the operating room. The red light that read 'In Surgery' flickered on.That was when Zara started to really worry.She was scared the surgery might not work; scared of unexpected problems; scared that by agreeing to the surgery, she might have made a terrible mistake... However, she knew that without the surgery, Sharon wouldn't stand a chance.Cheryl was super nervous too and started to cry.Troy wrapped his arms around her and said, "Don't worry, it's all going to be okay. The doctors are from overseas. They know what they're doing. Right, Zara?"Zara wanted to be

Cheryl and Troy were still there.They had no idea what the doctor had told Zara. When they saw Zara rush to hug a man, they were clueless about who he was.Yosef gave Charvi a quick look. She got the message and hurried over to explain things to Cheryl and Troy.What mattered more, however, was giving the two of them some space.Zara's forehead was resting right on Yosef's collarbone.In that instant, she was crying happy tears for Sharon. She felt a huge relief as her worries melted away, and her heart was truly dancing with joy.Only Zara knew how much sincerity she poured into the hug.Once she had calmed down a bit, Zara tried to step back from Yosef's arms.Now, it was Yosef who did not want to let go. He held her close by the waist. She could not help but ask, "Mr. Webb?"Yosef thought for a second, his eyes narrowing. "Is this the first time you've hugged me because you wanted to?"Zara held onto his suit jacket and whispered, "Dr. Jolene is still watching us.""We c

Yosef was cool and distant. "The doctors and nurses will be there if something unexpected happens, the doctors and nurses are there. What can you do that they can't?"Zara found herself back at East Coast, unable to argue.Meanwhile, Beatrice was driving there too. She spotted Yosef's car from afar and smiled, wanting to go over to him. However, she froze when she saw Zara step out of the car and go inside with him. Her smile vanished, and she was left gasping for air.What was this?...In the main bedroom, Yosef opened the closet, took a quick look, and tossed an old pair of pajamas to Zara. "Go take a shower," he said before leaving with his phone in hand.Zara held the pajamas tightly. She had just stopped worrying about Sharon, and now she was filled with a new kind of nervousness. The surgery was over, and Yosef would want something in return. She could not say no.The window was open, letting in a cool, damp breeze. Dark clouds were rolling in, ready to pour down rain.T

Yosef finally looked away and slid the plate toward Zara. "You really liked the dish yesterday, didn't you? I had him make it the same way."He had ordered it just for her. He was not planning to eat any of it.Zara bit her lip and lifted her glass. "Even though this is part of our deal, I still want to thank you. Without you, things wouldn't have gone so smoothly for my mom."Yosef gave a soft laugh. "You're thanking me with the food I bought?"She quickly said, "I'll take you out for a meal sometime."He glanced at her, then picked up his glass and clinked it against hers."Deal. I'll hold you to that."...After they finished eating, Zara started cleaning up the table and took the dishes to the sink to wash.While washing, she tried to figure out how to ask Yosef if she could go back to the hospital to see Sharon.When she finally had her words ready and came out of the kitchen, she saw that Yosef was not in the living room. The study light was on, though.She could not j

Yosef hesitated before picking up.Beatrice's voice came through in a panic. "Mr. Webb, Mr. Webb! I was driving, and I think I might have hit someone by accident. What should I do?"Yosef's brows creased with concern. "Where are you?""I'm at..." She gave her location, her voice quivering with tears. "Mr. Webb, I'm really scared..."Yosef turned off the shower and said in a deep voice, "Don't be scared. I'm on my way."He stepped out of the bathroom, changed his clothes, and took one last look at the woman on the bed before heading out the door.The door closed with a loud click, and Zara stirred awake.She had a sleepy hunch that Yosef had gone, but she was too tired to care. She rolled over and drifted back to sleep, thinking it was better that he was gone.Zara did not wake up until after nine the next morning.The house was quiet. Yosef had not come back.Just as she got ready to leave after freshening up, her phone rang. It was Yosef."Go into the study and look for the

Zara quickly flipped through the contract and noticed the deal they had struck. She frowned. The price was way lower than what it should be. Why would Lark Corporation agree to such a deal?She checked the date on the contract. It was signed just days after the cruise... That meant Yosef had promised Yaxley something special to get him to agree to such a low price.Yaxley had wanted her as a bargaining chip, but since she did not go along with it, Yosef must have offered something else.Zara stopped short, her mind piecing things together. Now she understood why Yosef wanted her to work on this contract.It was not really about the contract at all. He was using it to show her that he never planned to use her as a bargaining chip with Yaxley. He had been negotiating with other things in mind all along.Did Zara believe him?Yes, she did.What did it matter if she believed, though?Yosef kept going back to this because when he first asked her to come back to him, she had accused

It was Melanie's own fault.She was the one who brought up the surveillance cameras at home, so Yosef checked the files to make sure the old videos were all overwritten. Indeed, there was nothing to fear.The videos were gone, but the memories stayed with him, distracting him even in meetings.He had to see her, and there she was, asleep on the couch—unguarded.Her head was tilted, showing off the graceful curve of her neck and shoulders.Her skin was so pale and delicate, with just a hint of blue veins showing.Yosef used to think that romance was just a simple part of life, nothing to get too worked up about. After being away from Zara for so long, however, he realized he really missed her. He gently kissed her lips and slowly lifted her nightgown. Zara was caught off guard by his sudden return. She felt trapped on the couch, with no place to hide from his strong embrace. His eyes were half-closed. His face was so close that she could see the details of his eyebrows and nose.

Zara was scrubbing her hands with soap and a brush when she looked up and saw a bright red mark on her neck in the mirror.She closed her eyes, trying not to think about it.She told herself that the close call she just had could have been much worse.Zara opened her eyes again, her face calm.She washed her hands a few more times, put on some concealer to hide the mark, and chose a turtleneck sweater to put on.As she tossed her nightgown into the hamper, she noticed Yosef's clothes. They were not what he wore yesterday... Did he wear them out last night?She looked closer and saw a blood stain on his white jacket. Yosef did not seem hurt earlier, right?Curious, Zara examined the jacket. The blood must have come from someone else.The fabric was of good quality, and smells would cling to it. She caught a hint of disinfectant.Did Yosef go to a hospital?He must have been there for a while for his clothes to still smell like it.Why did he go to the hospital last night for

Zara turned to him. "I was fast asleep. I didn't know."Yosef's deep eyes held hers until he was done wiping his hands with the towel. "Shouldn't you ask me why I went out?"Zara's brows creased slightly. "I've never pried into your business before, have I?"Looking calm, he dropped the towel. "You could start asking more."Zara was puzzled. Were his expectations for her really getting that strict?The enchanting Jerring-style restaurant suddenly did not seem so charming anymore.Zara gave a casual nod. "Sure."For the next 72 hours, she had to agree to anything he said.Yosef got up and moved closer to Zara. "What are you looking at?"He peeked at the sight outside. "Feel like going on a boat ride?"Zara shook her head. "No, I'm just checking things out.""I'll take you if you want," Yosef said. Without waiting for her response, he strode out of the room. Zara had only been looking, but now she had no choice but to tag along.He always did whatever he wanted.Yosef quickl

Both Eugene and Zara, who were on the boat, looked toward the voice.They saw a window with a man and a woman leaning on it.The man was the one who had called out to them. Zara thought, 'What are the chances?'It was Yaxley.Yaxley was not from around here; he was from Sylverton and had only come to Starville for the Stewart family's party. Zara did not expect to run into him here, at a restaurant that served Jerring cuisine.The young woman with him was new to Zara. She was really pretty, and even from far away, Zara could tell she had delicate features.Zara took the chance to move past the awkward moment. "Mr. Webb, that's Mr. Lark.""I see him," Yosef said, giving her a quick look. He decided not to fuss about her backtalk for now and told the boatman to head for the shore.Yaxley and the young woman stepped away from the window."I just wanted to check out the scenery from the window, and there you were, Mr. Webb." Yaxley chuckled. "What's the deal with this little boat?
