Chapter 722
Heather hadn’t been staying in the forest for long, but she deeply felt how lonely the forester must’ve
been. What puzzled her the most was the fact that there wasn’t even a TV, and he was probably out of
touch with society. She leaned against the window sill while looking at the tiny bit of greens outside the
window.
Everything was deathly still in winter, but that little bit of life was enough to warm the heart. Heather
was bored stiff, so she would often relieve her boredom in such a way. If it weren’t for the deepening
dusk and the daybreak, she wouldn’t have known how much time had passed. Why isn’t there
something to check the time inside this house? she thought to herself.
Heather felt increasingly bored; she couldn’t find anything interesting, nor did she see anyone. In her
mind, she nned to give the forester a TV as a present. After all, every industry was different, and
they were equally worthy of respect.
She would get to meet Zayne one day and one nightter, whom she hadn’t been looking forward to
seeing so much. As shey down on the sofa again, thezy feeling made her feel a bit rxed. She
was anxious, but she would asionally space out as she did at this moment. She fell silent just then,
not thinking about anything else since she just had toy quietly on the sofa. Suddenly, she felt as
though those grudges and overnight wealth were very far away from her. Not only that, Heather
suddenly found it difficult to imagine the days toe if her life continued to be so easy and
When she had time, she would let a fortune teller read her fortune to see if she was destined to have a
tumultuous life.
It’ll probably be nice to be here during spring and autumn, Heather thought to herself as she imagined
how the ancients withdrew from society and lived in wooded mountains. Such pleasure of roaming
happily through the forests and mountains kept inspiring her to write literature.
Surprisingly, she saw a pen and some papers on the small desk beside her. She wondered if she
should get up and write a poem since she hadn’t written any in such a long time. She even
remembered having published an anthology of poems while attending junior high school. However,
poets were mostly down on their luck, and she, a filthy rich businesswoman, didn’t quite match the
poetic charm.
Suddenly, Heatherughed as it urred to her that she was down on her luck. She whispered to
herself, “It seems like I’m in a lousy situation right now.” Indeed, she had never been in such dire straits
before, for she was now trying to survive on an inhabited ind. Luckily, she had instant noodles to
keep herpany, or else she would have to go out and search for food by herself. She couldn’t find
anything to eat in the winter and would starve to death in this log cabin.
The more she thought about it, the more she wanted tough, for she was convinced by her
imagination. Life is so beautiful, yet I’m so bored, she thought to herself as she stood up quietly. Her
whole body was limp as she had lied down for too long on the sofa. As she raised her eyebrows, she
felt that such a despondent side of herself was really interesting, but she could only look for some fun
in her boredom.
Only on the third day did Zayne set out early in the morning to meet Heather, and it was fortunate that
everything went smoothly. In fact, even Zayne himself didn’t expect everything to proceed without any
hups. After all, he had prepared a week’s worth of food for Heather since he was worried that three
days wouldn’t be enough to solve the problem. He showed up at Heather’s log cabin at lunchtime and
stared at its tightly shut wooden door, wondering if she hadn’te out all this while!
Then, he stepped forward and knocked on the log cabin’s door. When Heather heard that, she put
down the cup of instant noodles in her hands in surprise. As soon as she happily opened the wooden
door, she saw Zayne as well as Jason behind him—it was her first time getting to see Jason’s looks
clearly. She initially thought that he was only a mute driver, but she didn’t expect him to be so tall and
sturdy. Meanwhile, she looked at Zayne as if she was looking at her savior, for she couldn’t wait to
return to modern society.
“Heather, are you moved now that I’m here early in the morning to pick you up?” Zayne’s smiling face
was very offensive to the eye.
Heather cast him a disdainful look. “Thank you for arranging one hell of a ce for me, Zayne,” she
said angrily. “The most annoying thing is that there isn’t even a TV.” The more she thought about it, the
angrier she was. Her face was ruddy with anger, and she looked pitiful and charming without any
makeup. Jason had been displeased by her attitude at first, but he instantly forgave her inwardly when
he saw Heather looking like this.
“Haha! Don’t you hate watching TV the most, Heather?” Zayne had previously dragged Heather along
to watch some TV dramas together, but she ruthlessly refused. Therefore, women weren’t the only
vengeful ones since men also had such a side to them. This time, Heather truly experienced what it
was like to be bored stiff.
“Indeed, watching TV is a waste of time, but does it even matter since I’m already in such a ce?”
Heather replied in vexation. In short, she was in the right and wouldn’t allow Zayne to refute her.
Since he knew Heather’s temper, he didn’t argue with her anymore. “Okay, you’re right.”
Heather could say nothing else when she saw how sincere Zayne was. After that, her eyes roamed
over Jason. She had seen him twice, and it seemed like Zayne trusted him very much, so she was
curious about their rtionship.
“By the way, Zayne—find time to have a TV delivered over when you go back,” she said while pointing
at the door, thinking that it’d be great to have a TV to watch some dramas.
“Huh? Don’t you want to go back? Do you want to stay here for a few days longer?” Zayne teased
Heather with augh.
“Throughout my time here, I have experienced profoundly how bored the forester must be every single
day. We should give him a TV so that he can pass the time.” Heather knew that Zayne wouldn’t speak
properly, so she simply made things clear to him.
Zayneughed. “You really are adorable, Heather. The forester doesn’t like watching TV; he likes
listening to the radio instead. I’ll convey your kindness to him, though.”
Heather blinked her eyes as there seemed to be something wrong. “I never came across a radio here,

though.”
Zayne didn’t expect Heather to be so lovely when she was dorky. “The forester has a cell phone, and
cell phones can receive radio stations’ signal nowadays.”
Heather went red in the face. What did I just say? This is so embarrassing, she thought to herself. As
she looked somewhere else, she felt rather ashamed. Hence, she’d better pretend that she didn’t know
anything.
“Let’s go, mydy.” Zayne made an inviting gesture to Heather.
Heather walked down the steps and stepped forward directly. Just as she was about to reach the car,
Zayne quickly stepped forward and pulled open the car door for her.
Jason knew Zayne was a proud person, but he didn’t expect that thetter would be willing to humble
himself in front of this woman. It seems that Heather really isn’t a simple woman, he thought to himself.
Heather and Zayne discussed the matters about Bradfort City in the car, and she looked like a
me?” She looked at Zayne as if she would immediately teach him a lesson if he uttered the word ‘no.’
“This isn’t the first time we’re working together, Miss Langston,” Zayne replied in a cheeky tone, looking
just like a ruffian with a grin.
“Has the order to kill me been lifted?” From Heather’s perspective, she had to care about her personal
safety first.
“Yeah, so you don’t have to be worried. No one will plot against you in secret anymore,” Zayne replied
proudly. Even he was surprised that this matter had been solved with such ease.
“In that case, how about Grandpa?” Compared to her personal safety, Heather was more concerned
about Robert’s illness.
“This is your cell phone. Check it yourself.” Zayne handed Heather’s cell phone to her with the corner
of his lips turned up.
Heather took her cell phone skeptically as she didn’t know what Zayne was keeping her guessing. Can
such a tricky problem be solved using my cell phone? she thought to herself. When she unlocked her
cell phone, her Messenger interface popped up directly. After catching sight of the chat room that was
pinned to the top of her inbox, she immediately tapped it open. Zayne had used her Messenger to chat
with someone else, and the person he chatted with was the old man who had given her the cross
ne as a present.
Heather finished reading the chat history in disbelief. It was a small world, for the old man who
previously gave her cross ne was actually on good terms with Dr. Turner. This time, not only had
the old man given her the cross ne he treasured in his possession, he even did her a favor. She
thought that no one could ask Dr. Turner out, but she didn’t expect that this inconspicuous old man
would be able to do it. “This is a miracle.” She didn’t know how toment on this matter, for Zayne
simply opened her eyes.
“Sometimes, the ones who can help you are by your side. You might search high and low before finding
the person when you least expect to.” Zayneughed with the intention of iming full credit.
“Why would they be involved with each other?” Heather asked in disbelief.
“This world is small, and I discovered his rtionship with Dr. Turner while investigating him,” Zayne
said proudly.
Heather’s face was no longer frosty atst, and she smiled a smile that looked as beautiful as a melting
iceberg. Sheughed while shaking her head. “I suddenly admire you a little, Zayne.” Of course, she
had to praise him at this moment. After all, few people could solve such a tricky thing without just a
small effort.
“Haven’t you always admired me?” Zayne continued to brag after having gained an advantage.
Meanwhile, Jason drove steadily in the front seat and listened as the two people chatted happily behind
him. He was also d for Zayne—after all, it was rare for a woman to make him so happy.
“Yeah, you’re the best. You solved two big problems of mine in one fell swoop.” I’ll let Zayne be pleased
with himself at this moment, Heather thought to herself.
There were cheers andughter inside the car as Heather became more and more earthly. Zayne
stared at her before his eyes and recalled the fight he once had with her. At this moment, he actually
envied Matthias. Love could change a person, and the current Heather was much different from the
Heather he remembered. For some reason, when he thought of what Matthias had done recently, he
was somewhat worried about the love-hate rtionship between the two. He couldn’t even figure out
why Matthias wanted to get close to such a woman since Heather and that woman couldn’t be
mentioned in the same breath at all. It was a popr belief that a woman’s heart was fickle and difficult
to understand, but perhaps a man’s mind was even harder to fathom. Zayne only hoped that Heather
wouldn’t raise merry hell with Matthias because of his recent immoderate behavior when she got back
to Bradfort City.
Zayne had spent a lot of thought and care on Matthias, who was his rival in love, so he knew that the
man really loved Heather. Since that was the case, Zayne could help him fulfill his wish, but these two
people had caused a lot of worries since they insisted on doing things that made each other feel
ufortable. Still, Zayne wasn’t generous enough to assist his enemy. If Heather misunderstood
Matthias, Zayne would do nothing more than watch the excitement; he wouldn’t step forward and
defend him.
His thoughts were interrupted when Heather suddenly spoke. “What are you thinking about? Why are
you smiling so slyly?”
Zayne smiled like a fox. “I’m thinking that the scene will definitely be lively when you show up in
Bradfort City.”
