Zavne clicked open the application and scanned the address for his order, but it was accurate,
Postulating that Sylvic might have passed out from her fever after being in the rain for so long. he
instantly got out of the car and sprinted back into the hotel.
He asked the front desk for the universal card and opened the room door with a swipe.
There was no sign of Sylvie in the living room or bedroom.
Fixating his eyes on the closed bathroom door, he hurried over and pushed open the door. He was
grected by the sight of Sylvie lying in the bathtub. The water in the bathtub was already stained red,
and the coppery smell of blood hung in the air.
Zayne‘s breathing stopped for two seconds. Rushing over, he snagged a towel and wrapped it around
her bleeding wrist.
“Have you lost your mind?” he roared.
Sylvic opened her eyes laboriously.
Seeing that the man had returned, she admitted weakly. “I‘ve been keeping in secret from you and
General Zeigler. Back then, many people wante lavors from General Zeigler, but they couldn‘t obtain a
meeting with him. I secretly opted their Anglunduran and Epean currencies promising to help them. I‘m

Zayne gaped at her in utter shock. It had never crossed his mind that she dared to do such a thing.
“Did you not know that it‘s taboo to accept money? If this comes to light, even my uncle‘s political
career would be over!”
“I‘m sorry I once promised Stella that I‘d buy her and Ms. Juliana the best burial plots and a beautiful
mansion when I had the money. I‘m terrified that General Zeigler will learn about this and fly into such a
rage that his body can‘t take it. I don‘t know what I should do. Please let me die. Everything was my
doing, so it‘ll be over with my death.”
Sylvie then moved to yank the towel off her wrist.
Zayne swiftly grabbed her other hand and kept her from acting rashly.
He stared at her for an eternity. At the thought of the “Stella” she mentioned, he inquired with much
difficulty. “Was Stella the friend you spoke of at the hospital that day?”
Sylvie bit her pale lips, her gaze dimming.
“I only told you because I know I can trust you. I‘d rather die now if someone else were to learn about
that.” As soon as she spoke, tears streamed down her face.
That day, Zayne thought she was merely telling him a story. Never had he expected the protagonist of
the story to be Herbert‘s biological granddaughter.
Weeping. Sylvie begged. “I really don‘t know how to face General Zeigler. Please let me die. Also,
tell him sorty on my bchall”
Zavne was silent for some time. Subsequchilly, he scooped her out of the bathtub and wrapped a

“Whose money did you take? Give me a list of names, and I‘ll handle this matter.”
Sylvic raises her red and swollen cyes, pinning them on him. “How are you going to help? If your uncle
and father were to learn about this, you‘d be dead mcat.”
“No!” she adamantly declined.
Zayne was initially on the fence about helping her, but upon hearing that from her, he finally steeled luis
resolve to help her since she had seemingly realized her mistakes for real.
“They‘ll never know about it, especially Grandpa. Don‘t worry about this anymore,” Zayne asserted
After the front desk had sent the first–aid kit up, Zaync unwrapped the towel from around Sylvie‘s wrist.
Fortunately, her vein wasn‘t severed. Otherwise, she would have bled out before she arrived at the
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmhospital.
He first disinfected the cut before applying the salve. Finally, he wrapped gauze around it.
When he lifted his head, he discovered her gazing at him. The corners of her eyes were still red. She
was pale and weak, just like a wounded deer.
His heart skipped a beat. “Is the gauze too tight?” he asked softly.
Sylvie shook her head. She leaned toward him a fraction, but something seemingly occurred to her, for
she backed away. Taking his hand, she kissed the back of his hand lightly.
Her lips were a touch cold, and they touched the back of his hand like a raindrop.
All at once, Zayne suiffened.
Sylvie pursed her lips, her eyes shimmering with tears. “Thank you for saving me and helping me.
Before I met you. I never imagined that there could be someone as kind as you in the world.”
“Don‘t mention it.” Zayne withdrew his hand, lowering his head as he put everything back into the first
aid kit to conceal the hint of uneasiness on his face.
When Sylvie nouced that he was trying his best to avoid her, her gaze flickered, and she giggled softly
The girl who marries you in the future is certainly blessed. III were twenty years old now, I‘ll definitely
fall in love with you without any hesitation.”
