Chapter 696


    Chapter 696 Her Heart Belonged


    to Someone Else Stephen didn’t know what to say. Scarlet was puzzled.


    And Theodore was shocked. What was going on? Before Theodore and Scarlet could inquire, the


    sound of footsteps echoed through the room. Lincoln handed Za a bouquet of roses. “I’vee to


    pick you up from the hospital.”


    Za chuckled and yfully tossed her phone onto the bed, eagerly epting the bouquet with both


    hands. “Red roses?” “That’s all they had here.”


    “These are great. What other flowers did you want to give me?” Za looked at him curiously. Without


    thinking, Lincoln said,


    “Overlord flowers.” Theodore and Scarletughed together on the phone. Hahaha! Overlord flowers!


    What a perfect fit!


    Za snorted and shot him a look that said, “Lincoln, just you wait.” Stephen picked up the phone and


    addressed Theodore and Scarlet, “Mom,


    Dad, she almost threw the phone away just for a bouquet of flowers. Her heart belongs to someone


    else now.” Theodore chimed in, “You’re absolutely right. We can only see the ceiling just now.”


    Scarletughed. “When can you give away your heart?” Stephen was stunned. How had the


    conversation turned to him? Scarlet had no intention of letting him off.


    “Don’t think you can fool me by not answering. “I’ve started arranging dates for you already. “Come


    back for dates!”

    Stephen rubbed his forehead. “Mom, Za’s discharge procedures seem problematic. I’ll check.”


    He found an excuse and gave the phone back to Za. The camera turned to Za. Theodore and


    Scarlet started persuading her to return to Harper.


    Za didn’t agree no matter what. She had only taught some sses at the School for Deaf-mutes.


    How could she leave just like that?


    Lincoln lowered his head, gazing at the phone clutched in Za’s hand. “Mr. Vargas, Mrs. Vargas, I’m


    in Aromasouth Ind, and I’ll take good care of her.”


    Theodore, upon seeing Lincoln, considered him Za’s savior and hadplete trust in him.


    “Lincoln, I trust you. I know our stubborn girl well. “Once she makes up her mind, nothing can pull her


    back!


    “In that case, we entrust her to you!” Scarlet also nodded, expressing her unwavering trust in Lincoln.


    “Please rest assured.” Lincoln nodded reassuringly.


    After the video call, Lincoln’s discharge procedures were alsopleted. As they left the hospital, they


    ran into Wingfield. He was also discharged today. “Wingfield!” Za called out. Wingfield was stunned,


    then turned.


    “You… You…’


    He had received the news of Za’s safe condition, but her ability to speak left him deeply astonished.


    “You can speak now?” Za nodded. “Yes!” “When did this happen?” “I don’t know either. It just


    recovered on its own.”


    Za herself was also puzzled about the specifics of her recovery. Perhaps it was when Lincoln


    coughed up blood at the theater?


    “Have you undergone any further examinations?” Za nodded once again. “That’s good. It’s good that


    you can speak.’


    Za smiled at him. “Are you also being discharged today?” “Yes, I’m mostly fine now, but the school


    won’t allow me to teach yet. They’ve granted me paid leave at home.”


    “I wish you a safe discharge and a pleasant paid leave!” With that, Za handed the bouquet of roses


    in her hand to Wingfield!
