    Chapter 555


    Isaac promptly turned back to James, asking, "Is he waking up?"


    Zachary quickly checked the monitors, but soon said, "No, it''s just a routine beep to show that it''s


    working."


    There was a look of disappointment in Isaac''s eyes-it naturally hurt to see James like this.


    That was when Erin Gooding suddenly entered with an empty bucket, and she did a double take when


    she saw them. "Oh, it''s you."


    Isaac cast her a cold nce and left the ward in silence.


    Zachary followed, presuming that Isaac did not know Erin and said, "I never knew that James was


    dating her. I thought she was up to no good when she showed up."


    "And?" Isaac growled.


    "She''s a fine woman-"


    Isaac stopped right then, and turned to look Zachary in the eye. "What makes you think that?”


    "I mean, she’s been camping outside and slept on the bench when I denied her entry. Seeing that she


    was sincere, I eventually let her in, and I don''t think she''s left since. She’s caring for him 24/7 and


    learning from the physiotherapist as well."


    Zachary sighed emotionally. "James is lucky to have someone willing to take care of him even in that


    state.”


    "Are you blind?" Isaac mocked him without remorse.


    "What, is she a terrible person or something?” Zachary asked, and gingerly added, “Wait, you know


    her?"


    Isaac certainly did!


    However, he soon realized that they never talked that much, and it was not as if she was a bad person.

    He also remembered something else-they were going to fly home to Zidonta from Minerva, but the


    eternally punctual James arrived at the airportte.


    He must have been with Erin at that time, or Erin would not have been willing to travel all the way here


    just to take care of him.


    "Well, should I send her away?” Zachary asked, since he really did not know Erin.


    "Leave her be," Isaac said tly. "Now tell me about you."


    "Me?" Zachary felt embarrassed to even start.


    However, he needed an ear given the mess he was in, just as he needed a solution.


    “Ember Lindt had an affair..." he said, since Isaac was the only one who would listen now. "It''s true. I


    caught her in the act."


    He had no love for Ember, but she was still his wife, and her affair left him at once repulsed and


    humiliated.


    After all, being cucked utterly destroys a man’s dignity.


    Isaac frowned, but felt no sympathy for Zachary-he had married Ember even if he did not love her.


    If anything, an affair was only to be expected.


    "What are you going to do?"


    "I want a divorce, but the Lindts disagree. The whole thing was set up by my mother in the first ce,


    or I would not have agreed to-"


    "Stop."


    Isaac did not have time for the whole story, but looked at Zachary as a parent would look at a child.


    “You are your own man, Zachary te-you can destroy anyone who stands in your way, or devour


    them if need be. You''ve already had plenty of time to train yourself, so it’s time to show your chops.”


    Zachary understood, but he was also a little confused.


    "Now that things havee to this, you should think for yourself,” Isaac finished, and left the hospital.


    In the end, the Lindts were the only thing standing in Zachary''s way.


    He did benefit from marrying Ember thanks to his alliance with them, and his own mother had set it up


    in the first ce because of their wealth and influence.


    Was Isaac telling him that he should im leadership over them?


    It did make sense, and Zachary knew what to do right then!
