Chapter 25
After that, Zackary stayed in the hospital, using the excuse of recovering from his injury.
Sometimes I would watch TV to pass the time.
That day, a familiar face appeared on the news.
Ryan, as the host, questioned Arabella about the construction site.
Arabella answered perfectly.
The other hosts were chatting and then shifted to personal emotional issues.
“Why is Ms. Reid still single, despite being such an outstanding person? Does she have any specific requirements?”
Zackary unconsciously focused.
Friends didn’t understand. “How could you stand him?”
The host nodded and changed the topic, asking Ryan, “Ryan is the youngest host here and the only one who is not married yet. How about taking advantage of Ms. Reid’s presence and looking for a partner?”
Explaining to the customer, “It’s the nanny and her daughter. The child is not very good at calling people.”
The hosts joked one after another.
It was obvious that Ryan and Arabella had a close relationship.
In front of the television, Zackary tightly gripped the remote control, watching the person on the screen shining brightly.
I couldn’t accept it no matter how I thought about it.
I never wanted to give in no matter what.
He caught a glimpse of the glass, made up his mind, and suddenly smashed it.
Picking up a fragment, I fiercely slashed at my wrist.
The blood flowed quickly.
He slowly lost consciousness.
Waking up again, I was in the intensive care unit.
There was a bouquet of flowers on the table, accompanied by a card.
“Love yourself before loving others, I understood it very late, I hope you don’t take the wrong path.”
Zackary was ecstatic.
Arabella did indeed still care about him!

Otherwise, how could the flowers have been sent over?
How could such a card be left behind again?
Lost in joy, I didn’t even read a single word on the card and hurriedly asked the nurse about the person who sent the
flowers.
The nurse looked puzzled and said, “It was delivered by a delivery person.”
A bucket of cold water was poured over the head.
Zackary muttered to himself, “It’s impossible.”
But he quickly confirmed that Arabella had indeed not come.
Because Arabella was busy making waves in her career.
During Zackary’s recovery period, Arabella single-handedly managed to handle two challenging projects, directly doubling the company’s market value.
She was promoted directly by the headquarters and appointed as the regional president.
Apart from Zackary’s background, her position was even one level higher than Zackary’s.
At the celebration banquet, everyone gathered around Arabella, congratulating this rising star.
As a guest and special reporter, Ryan always stayed by Arabella’s side, with his left hand also being careful to hold onto
Daisy.
They appeared to be a family of three.
A pair of eyes in the corner stared at them ominously.
Zackary also came, but he just sat quietly on the sofa.
The position of that family of three, if nothing unexpected happened, should have been his.
He tightly gripped the wine glass, and the taste was only bitter.
“Bang–”
A loud explosion suddenly rang out.
The venue instantly became chaotic.
Arabella busied herself to protect the children, finding a safe place in the meantime.
Suddenly, a big hand forcefully grabbed her and pulled her out.
In her free time, Arabella also learned a few moves from Ryan and tried hard to break free from his grip.
In a panic, I turned around and saw that person pulling out a dagger from their pocket.

The guests scattered in all directions, blocking Arabella’s way.
“Arabella-”
The screams pierced through the noisy hall.
Ryan and Zackary ran towards her at the same time.
“Chirp -”
Blood burst out.
I don’t know whose it was.
I only saw that person hurriedly put away the dagger and blend into the crowd.
Arabella anxiously waited outside the operating room, pacing back and forth.
In a short while, the person was pushed out.
Even when exposed, Zackary is not angry. “You don’t know Arabella well enough if you think you can win her overusing
such methods.”
Ryan’s tightly closed eyes were worrisome.
