"Zachary, must you speak up for her?" Sasha's gaze turned icy. "Have you considered who you've raised since
childhood?"
Zachary paused and averted his gaze slowly. He had a stronger emotional bond with Sasha, having been with her
since she was a child.
However, there was a hurdle in his heart he couldn't cross, and that was Lena, the daughter of Krystal, his savior.
"Zachary, after my mom's last breakfast with me in Southeast Aciatic, she headed to Centrolis. She got caught by
the police on her way back... Remember what she told you in prison?" Sasha knew this was Zachary's weak point
and exploited it.
"Your mom told me to take care of you."
Sasha lightly held his hand. "Zachary, you always talk about repaying kindness. Can't you fulfill my mom's request?"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"She asked me to take care of you, not to help you harm her other daughter!"
"You're wrong. My mom only has one daughter!" Sasha's eyes looked crazed. "Between me and her, only one can
survive!"
"You..."
Sasha sneered, pulled her hand away, and walked back to her room.
Zachary stood still for a long time, feeling stuck with no way forward or backward.
Since Krystal left, her businesses in Southeast Aciatic had continuously lost money. Bars and nightclubs struggled to
stay afloat. The competition was fierce, and Sasha was not cut out for business. She quickly spent all the money.
At that point, Zachary thought of the Chrisses in Centrolis. His original intention had been to use this connection to
ask for money. However, he hadn't expected Sasha to be so ambitious, wanting to take half of the Chrisses' wealth
and replace Lena...
Zachary sighed.
Despite his deep affection for Sasha, emotions overcame reason. Thus, he decided to find Lena. -
One fateful day, Zachary waited at the hospital for a long time. Around noon, he saw a graceful figure hurrying
toward him. His gaze locked onto her.
She did have a face identical to Sasha's. They said twins were each other's mirror image, and it seemed to be true.
Zachary composed himself, holding a prepared cane and pretending to have shaky legs. He walked toward the
middle of the road. Just as he was about to reach Lena, he suddenly collapsed to the ground.
There were many people around, and those passing by exclaimed.
"A man fell!"
"Wait a moment!" someone advised., "Helping elderly people up now carries risks. Be careful!"
Upon hearing that, everyone stopped what they were doing.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmZachary looked around—some were taking photos, others were recording videos, and one person squatted beside
him, saying as they recorded, "Sorry about this. I need to record this to protect myself in case you accuse me
later... Hey, everyone, take a look. I'm here to help him up, not cause him to fall..."
As that person continued to talk endlessly, a small hand suddenly reached around Zachary's arm and gently pulled
him up.
Zachary was taken aback. He smelled a faint fragrance, like that of camellia flowers.
"Mister, are you okay?" Lena asked softly.
Zachary turned to meet a clear gaze.
"Young lady, how could you dare?"
The people around them were anxious.
Lena smiled wryly, not offering much explanation. She simply looked at Zachary with concern. "Mister, are you
hurt? Did you injure yourself?"
