Lenora stood still, her thoughts drifting back to the news she had just seen. She asked, "Didn't you go to the hospital? Why didn't you sort it out while you were there?" "Who said I went to the hospital?" "The news reported that the two injured individuals were rushed to the hospital for treatment." "I didn't go to the hospital." Zachary saw Lenora standing still and repeated, "Nora, could you cover and givea hand?" Lenora observed the knife wounds on his shoulder and arm. Besides that, there were several bruises and scrapes scattered across his body.

Her eyes flickered slightly. Though she was reluctant to admit it, she couldn't deny the concern that welled up within her.

"Why don't you go to the hospital and get it treated?" After a moment of silence, she finally mustered the courage to say it.

He haphazardly applied the ointment onto the wound, clumsily wrapping it with gauze in a rather skewed manner.

After several painstaking rounds of wrapping, he realized that there was no scissors, leaving him no choice but to tear the gauze by hand. After a few attempts to tear it, he ended up tightening the bandage, causing the area around the wound to turn red.

Suddenly, the sound of a door opening echoed.

He looked up, only to find that Lenora's figure was no longer in sight.

Zachary froze, leaning powerlessly against the back of the couch, no longer continuing his act.

Seeing Lenora turn and walk away, Zachary felt a tightness in his chest that seemingly suffocated him.

Lenora halted, tuming to look at him. "Is there anything else?" Zachary slowly rose to his feet, his gaze deeply fixed on Lenora. "Nora, does it pain you to seeinjured? Even a little would be enough..." Lenora was also staring at him, their eyes locked. She let out a chuckle. "Zachary, there's no point in fussing over this now."

"So, you're saying it's all just a coincidence, right?" "Yes." Zachary looked into Lenora's eyes, nodding earnestly without a hint of hesitation. "If you don't believe me, ask Mr. Chance. I really don't know..." "You don't need to explain." In reality, if Zachary wanted to see Susanna, he could just go.

Zachary tensed up, a sour feeling creeping up his throat, "Nora, I-" Interrupting him, Lenora said, "No matter what, Susanna was injured because of you. You can't just abandon her at the hospital. Go and see her. I need to get back to work." She turned around and left.

Zachary reached out, attempting to grasp something.

In the end, her sleeve still slipped away from his grasp, leaving nothing but thin air between his fingers.

Zachary stood dejectedly in place, lying in the mess he had made.

The scent of disinfectant filled her nostrils as Susanna regained consciousness.

The only one by his side was Yelena.

"Where's Zack?" Susanna asked weakly.

Yelena shook her head, gesturing toward the door. "He didn't cto the hospital. He sent his personal assistant instead." A trace of disappointment crossed Susanna's face.
