StartNovelChapter 833
Zachary took off his jacket and gently draped it over Sarah before lifting her into his arms and carrying her out of
the café.
He carefully laid her down in the backseat of his car. "Sasa," he called softly, worry etched in his voice.
Before he could shut the door, Sarah clung to him, her hands grasping his arms tightly. Even through the jacket,
he could feel the intense heat radiating from her body.
"I feel... so hot," she panted.
Zachary's fingers trembled. He gently eased her back into the seat and closed the car door with caution, then let
out a long, heavy sigh before sliding into the driver's seat and starting the engine.
He knew he couldn't take her back to the Sanders family estate. So instead, he drove straight to his own
apartment.
Once they arrived, he carried her inside again, feeling her body growing even hotter in his arms.
He laid her down on the bed, but she wouldn't stop leaning toward him, murmuring over and over, "So hot..."
Back in the car, he had already struggled with the overwhelming urge to hold her. Now, with her flushed face
pressing against his chest, it took every ounce of self- control not to do something he'd regret.
He pulled out his phone and quickly dialed. "Cto the my apartment. Now." Twenty minutes later, a car pulled

"She's in the bedroom," Zachary replied, his tone dark and tight.
Dr. Lanson, a long-tfamily physician, immediately stepped inside. Seeing Sarah's erratic movements, her
expression turned serious. "What's going on with her?"
"She was drugged," Zachary said grimly.
Dr. Lanson nodded, asking no further questions. She didn't need to-she already understood the situation.
She pulled out a portable diagnostic device and began examining Sarah. Fortunately, thanks to Mia's health
condition, Zachary had a stock of medications and equipment on hand.
Dr. Lanson injected a sedative into Sarah's arm and placed a fever-reducing patch on her forehead.
"Do you know how much she took?" she asked, frowning.
Zachary shook his head. When he got to her, she was already in this state. But given how she had managed to
stay conscious and resist, it probably wasn't a large dose.
Dr. Lanson glanced at Sarah with concern. "Drugs from H Country aren't particularly strong, but they last a long

"Mia's still at the hospital with Grandpa. | didn't tell her about this. She'd worry."
"Understandable. Just make sure you help her cool down." Dr. Lanson gave a few more instructions, then looked
between Zachary and Sarah, hesitating for a beat.
After a pause, she said quietly, "You two... have been on and off for so long. If you were still together, well-this
would've been easier to handle."
She sighed. "Anyway, callif anything changes. I'll have someone keep an eye on your grandfather. His coma

Dr. Lanson was in her forties and had served as the Reynolds family's private
doctor for years, taking care of both William and Zachary himself.
Zachary shook his head. "No, nothing definitive yet. But Grandpa did meet with Mr Wilson that afternoon. There's
no way he's not involved."
Dr. Lanson's expression darkened. "So you really are at odds with the Wilson family now. Not just because of Mr.

Zachary's eyes turned cold and sharp.
Of course he knew. Leon had crossed a line tonight-and Vivian wouldn't be
walking away untouched either.
