Chapter 91
Before she could speak, Zachary, thinking she was afraid to be alone in the hospital, patted her hand comfortingly. “Don’t worry. I’ll arrange for a
mirse to take care of you. You’ll be safe.”
She said, “No, Zachary, I want to go with you. The pollen in Gwyneth’s office wasn’t much; I only got some scratches from falling down the stairs. It’s nothing serious.”
As she started to sit up with teary eyes ready to plead, Zachary pressed her back down firmly.
As Zachary remembered Bella struggling to breathe in his arms, the haunting memories surged back
Zachary’s gaze hardened. “No, you need to stay here until you’re fully recovered. The hospital is your safe haven for now,”
She heshated, “But…”
“Bella, don’t make me worry, Zachary wamed, his eyes filled with intensity as he pressed her back down harder, causing her pain.
Bella bit her lip, understanding Zachary’s fears, and stopped resisting
Just then, a call came in from Flynn Group, forcing Zachary to step out for a moment.
Quentin stayed put, waiting for Zachary to join him for dinner at his home.
Bella–couldn’t hide her frustration as she glared at Quentin. She thought, ‘Gwyneth didn’t come today, and Zachary’s eyes are practically searching holes through the door.
‘If Zachary meets Gwyneth at the Jenkins family’s home one look from her and he might fall for her all over again. I can’t let that happen Suddenly Belia spoke up, Mr. Jenkins, as Gwyneth’s father, you should be aware of their past relationship.
“Zachary still wants to work with the Jenkins family because of your capabilities, not any personal ties. If you’re smart, don’t let Gwyneth get involved with Zachary again
“If you keep meddling in their affairs, both you and Jenkins Group won’t survive.” Her words hinted at their broken relationship and cautioned against rekindling it.
Quentin took her words differently. He thought, “Back then, I was so focused on marrying my daughter off to Harrison that I insisted Gwyneth break up with Zachary and meddled in their relationship plenty.
‘Now, Bella’s telling me not to interfere again. Could it be that Zachary still has feelings for Gwyneth Is Bella implying I should stop meddling and let them reconcile?
Quentin looked at Bella with a newfound appreciation.
He thought. “This girl without parents, letting her boyfriend go see an old flame so graciously–could it be she knows she can’t secure a place in the Flynn family and is just playing nice to stay as Zachary’s side piece She really knows how to play her cards right?
He smiled, “Thank you, Ms. Emerson, for the advice. I’ll keep it in mind.” He thought, ‘If Zachary will has feelings for Gwyneth, this whole thing could be much easier
Rella, believing he had taken her warning seriously, relaxed slightly, thinking, Gwyneth, even your own father is against you. Let’s see how you plan to rekindle things with Zachary now.”
Both of them had their own hidden agendas.
Quentin left the hospital first and sent a message to Gwyneth. After thinking it over, Gwennie, I realize you were right in your analysis today. Why don’t you come home for dinner tonight so we can discuss the situation furthert
When Gwyneth received the message, she raised an eyebrow and looked out the window.
Flora followed her gaze, confused. “It’s just a few birds
Gwyneth smirked. “Nothing, just checking where the sun’s rising from today.” She confused, ‘Quentin actually wants my opinion?”
