Even though Zion was friends with Zachary, he couldn’t stand the way Zachary pretended to be the devoted man whilst simultaneously juggling multiple women. Zion couldn’t agree more when people said that men were born actors.

Zachary might not have been acting this way out of love for Tessa. He was probably just putting on a show, trying to use her sympathy to win her back.

As for Wendy, Zion had nothing but contempt for her.

Back then, she knew full well that Zachary was Tessa’s boyfriend, yet she still shamelessly clung to him.

She played the mistress on purpose, so it wasn’t like she was any better.

With that thought in mind, Zion had no trouble speaking his mind. If he could make Wendy jealous and uncomfortable, then why not? She had it coming anyway.

Zion said calmly, “He’s probably doing this because of Tessa. You know how it is -Tessa has a fiancé now, and they really love each other. Zachary just can’t accept it.

“I have no idea what got into him last night, but he suddenly wandered around outside for hours like a madman. Then, he collapsed.”

He let out a dramatic sigh, pretending to be heartbroken. “Can you believe it? He almost died! If a passing driver hadn’t spotted him and rushed him to the hospital, we would’ve lost him for good.”

As Zion spoke, he sneaked a glance at Wendy’s expression.

Her face went completely pale, and she murmured, “Because of Tessa?”

Zion sighed. “Yeah. Don’t you think he’s just being ridiculous? He only realized what he had after he lost it.”

Wendy was so furious that her whole body shook. Her voice rose as she snapped, “Are you telling me he was throwing his life away for Tessa?”

A nurse walking by shot her a disapproving look. “Miss, this is a hospital. Please keep your voice down.”

Wendy’s pale face flushed red with anger. She shoved the ward door open. “Zachary, what the hell are you up to?”

Zion pouted, glancing nosily into the room.

But the next second, the door was slammed shut. Then, a heated argument erupted from inside.

Wendy asked, “Are you still thinking about Tessa? Don’t you feel guilty toward me?”

Zachary let out a cold laugh. “Why should I feel guilty toward you?”

Wendy asked angrily, “What do you mean by that?”

Zachary said, “What happened between as hurt Tessa. But my head is clear now, and I can’t keep doing this. Wendy, don’t come looking for me again. I don’t want Tessato be upset.”

Wendy suddenly burst into laughter, her voicedaced with madness. “Are you still dreaming, Zachary? You’re actually worried about upsetting Tessa? Does she even care about you?

“You nearly died for her, but has she ever spared you a second thought? Has she

even come to see you once?”

Her words hit Zachary like a knife to the chest. His face twisted with anger as he roared, “Get out!

Get the

hell out!” ne

With that, the sound of things crashing echoed through the ward.

Wendy watched as Zachary lost control. Her eyes turned red, but she sneered. “Pathetic.”

Without another word, she turned and walked away. When she opened the door again, she found Zion standing outside.

Their eyes met, and Zion scratched his nose awkwardly. “I-I left something inside. Just came back to grab it.”

Wendy ignored him, lowering her head and walking away.

Zion peeked into the ward through the open door.

The place was a mess. It looked like Zachary had really lost it.
