StartNovelChapter 834
"I'll let you know if I hear anything," Zachary said to Dr. Lanson.
"Alright. Callif anything changes." Dr. Lanson didn't say more and left the apartment without delay.
Back in the bedroom, Sarah lay unconscious on the bed. Though her eyes were shut tight, the furrow between
her brows showed she was still uncomfortable.
Zachary sat by her side, worried. He gently touched her forehead-still burning hot. He peeled open one of the
fever-reducing patches Dr. Lanson had left behind and pressed it to her skin.
Meanwhile, Leon was fuming. He smashed several things in the cafeteria before paying the damages and
storming off in his car.
The moment he thought about what had happened, his anger surged again. He called Vivian and started venting
before she could even speak. "Weren't you supposed to keep him occupied? How the hell did he still find the
café?"
Vivian could already guess what had happened-Zachary had found them and taken Sarah away.
"This time, don't blme," she said coldly. "I did stall him. But sstranger showed up halfway through and
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtwhispered something in his ear. Whatever it was, his whole expression changed, and after that, nothing I said
could stop him. Don't forget—I nearly threw my own grandfather under the bus for your little plan. I've already
done more than enough, and you're still not satisfied?"
But Leon didn't soften. He wasn't thinking about the details-his mind was filled with the image of Zachary
carrying Sarah away in his arms.
It felt like spending all your effort trapping the perfect prey, cleaning it, cooking it, preparing everything-only to
have someone barge into your lair and steal it from right under your nose.
"Don't forget this plan was ours," he snapped. "Your job was to stop him, whatever it took. Tell me, Vivian-did you
suddenly forget the plan just because you saw Zachary again?"
Vivian's voice turned ice-cold. “Mr.
Lanson, before you open your mouth, try using your brain. You really think there's still something between me
and him? When that stranger showed up, | was trying to figure out who he was and what he said to Zachary. And
now that I've had tto think-it must've been something about Saran. What else Could've made him abandon
everything, even the chance to learn the truth about his grandfather? But tellthis-if you had everything so
carefully arranged, how did that man get past you?" s
Leon went silent. After a moment, he muttered, "I don't know."
He thought about Sarah's reaction earlier and frowned in confusion. "If what you're saying is true... even she
didn't know someone was watching her."
Vivian let out a sharp breath. "You mean Zachary had someone secretly protecting her this whole time?"
Then it finally clicked for Leon. "Think about everything you've done to her. Maybe all those little ‘accidents’
made him paranoid. That's probably why he had someone shadowing her."
Vivian's hand clenched around her phone so tightly she nearly crushed it. She hated that Zachary had never
been this cautious or protective with her. And she hated even more that he'd gone so far to shield
Sarah-from her. s
After a long silence, she finally asked, voice steady again, "So... what now?"
"What do you mean, 'what now'?" Leon said. "I'll tell you this-the drug she took doesn't have an antidote. Unless
she's got enough willpower to fight it off, something has to happen."
Vivian's pupils constricted.
"She-Sarah's not going to sleep with him. She's disgusted by the relationship betweenand Zachary Whatever
they look like on the surface their relationshipisn't
nearly as good as you think." s
