"It was his own fault."
Lulu did not feel her conscience gnawing at all, because she never lifted a finger.
Naturally, Mrs.Slate was not about to believe her.
"Really? Do you think you'd believe it if you were told that?"
"I would," Lulu replied.
Mrs.Slate scowled.
"You..."
"Please, I need a signature," the nurse interjected just then.
Worried about Zachary's safety, Mrs.Slate quickly signed the consent form and said, "You have to save
my son."
"Don't worry, the doctors will do their best, and it's not that serious anyway."
With that, the nurse returned inside with the surgery consent form, leaving behind a scowling
Mrs.Slate.She did not speak to Lulu, but the gears in her mind were working furiously.
It was clear that she could not make things work for Lulu—even if she had a change of heart and
accepted Lulu now, Lulu's behavior only left her repulsed.
Lulu kept demanding that she die for what she did, and had been hurting her and Zachary
repeatedly.She probably would never be able to sleep with her eyes closed from now on in fear of her
next attack.
And if Lulu plunged a knife into Zachary this time, what would happen next time? Would she be next?
No...
Lulu was no daughter-in-law.She was a walking disaster! Suddenly, Mrs.Slate said, "Taking things that
far...it's clear you don't love Zachary anymore, do you?"
Lulu spaced out for two seconds, but she soon turned calm and answered, "How could I still love him?"
"Stay away if you don't.Don't let him find you, ever."
"Are you saying that I should go into hiding for the rest of my life because of him?" Lulu asked in return.
"Or you can study abroad, live in another country you like,"
Mrs.Slate suggested then.
"I can give you enough money to sustain you for the rest of your life.How about that?"
"I don't need your money, and I won't bother him at all," Lulu told Mrs.Slate, rising to her feet just then.
"You ought to know that he's the one constantly bothering, and this suits everyone just fine.Keep him in
line and don't let him bother me ever again."
With that, she strode off.
Despite everything that has happened, Mrs.Slate certainly knew that Zachary had always loved Lulu
and she could not help wondering who her son took after.
His father even openly took a mistress, betraying Mrs.Slate who was supposed to be his legitimate
wife.
While Mrs.Slate herself had never had an affair, she had long since lost her passion toward her
husband.
So who did Zachary take after to become such a sucker in love? His feelings for Lulu never changed,
and his soft nature hardened because of her too.He was certainly obsessed, but destiny simply did not
favor him and Lulu, or there would not have been so much mess.
Half an hour later, Zachary was taken to a personal ward.
"When will he wake up?" Mrs.Slate asked.
"Soon, once the sedative wears off," the nurse replied.
Mrs.Slate nodded.
Able to tell that Mrs.Slate was worried, the nurse said, "Don't worry, it's just a minor surgery.He can
leave right after he wakes up."
"I see.Thank you,"
Mrs.Slate replied and waited there until Zachary regained consciousness.
Isaac had destroyed the videos and the scheduled email Harvey had saved.
Harvey was not lying when he said that he had hidden it in a secret room of his study, and they would
have had a hard time looking for it if Harvey kept his mouth shut.
Still, he searched Harvey's study thoroughly again and ensured nothing was left before leaving.
On his way back, he received a call, and answered it when he saw that it was James.
"Sorry, sir.."' James apologized.
"I messed up."
Isaac narrowed his eyes.
"What is it?"
