Zachary gazed at Lena, overwhelmed by a surge of emotions welling up inside him.
As he remained silent, fixated on her, Lena grew slightly perplexed. Sensing his unease, she decided to lead him
away from the bustling crowd and handed him a bottle of water.
"Sir, did you get hurt when you fell just now?" she asked.
Zachary responded with a smile. "I'm fine. But what about you? Others ignored my fall, yet you lent a helping
hand."
Lena hesitated briefly. "Well, you fell, so it was only natural to help."
A meaningful glance from Zachary followed. "Aren't you worried I might accuse you? Didn't you notice? The people
around hesitated to assist, and some even recorded the incident."
"Perhaps there are a few conniving individuals in society who've tarnished common decency, but it doesn't mean
everyone is malicious," Lena replied with a smile.

"I didn't use to."
Lena sat beside Zachary, both of them gazing up at the sky. From this angle, she bore a striking resemblance to
Krystal. Zachary's heart tightened, and he furrowed his brow.
"In the past, I had little trust in people." Lena continued. "But then, I met two individuals..."
Zachary anticipated her to mention a particular person, a man, given the inclination of someone her age.
"Oh, who were these individuals?"
"My sister." Lena chuckled. "And the other one... my boyfriend."
Recalling his investigation, Zachary surmised that her boyfriend must be Chris Hamerton. As for her sister, she likely
referred to Lina Jenner.
Sasha had tasked him with apprehending Lena while also substituting her identity, ensuring that only one of the
twins would survive in this world.
Zachary's frown deepened. He observed the genuine, radiant light in Lena's eyes, so different from the cold,
calculating gaze he had seen in Sasha's eyes.
Was he truly prepared to extinguish this light from the world?
Nevertheless, Sasha had been raised by him from a young age. He had pampered her and treated her like his own
daughter. He had gone to great lengths to fulfill her desires.
Zachary shook his head, his countenance changing.
"Sir, are you feeling unwell?" Lena asked with concern. "I've been talking all this time and forgot to ask about your
condition."
"I'm perfectly fine," Zachary assured her as he rose. "Thank you for your kindness. We will meet again in the
future."
"What?" Lena was taken aback.
"You're a kind-hearted young lady," Zachary said, his gaze filled with complexity. "Should adversity strike in the

With that, he turned and departed, leaving Lena in astonishment.
"Lenny!" Chris' voice echoed.
Lena snapped back to reality, remembering she had invited him to visit Nala together.
"What's the matter? You seemed lost in thought. Did something happen?"
"No," Lena replied with a smile, shaking her head. "Let's hurry to the ward."
Chris added, "By the way, our recent visits seem to be making a difference. Nala doesn't appear to resist you as
much anymore."
"Chris, I have a lingering suspicion."
"Yes, what's on your mind?"
"Is Nala's previous resistance toward me truly solely due to her illness-induced bad mood? It doesn't seem that
straightforward."
"We're on the same page!" Chris exclaimed. "Some strange occurrences have happened lately... For instance,
Pammy claimed she spotted you at the hospital the other day, but you didn't actually see her, did you?"
