Chapter 285 Promise
Cora blinked three times.
Zachariah rubbed the back of her needle-pierced hand, and said, “Don’t worry too much. If I say I’m not
angry, I’m not angry anymore. You should take good care of yourself, or I’ll be really angry. You don’t
want me to be angry right?”
Cora’s eyes still blinked three times.
Zachariah seemed to be able to understand her facial expressions. Every time she blinked; he could
find corresponding words to exin.
“Be good, don’t think too much. I am here, and I will take good care of you while you recover from your
surgery,” Zachariah said.
Cora finally felt relieved.
Zachariah tucked the quilt for her, and said, “Now, be good, go to sleep. I’ll be here.”
Cora initially insisted on staying up, but now her body was too weak, and her emotions were
fluctuating. This was a taboo after an abortion, and she yet she hadmitted all of it.
Perhaps because of Zachariah’s presence, Cora quickly fell asleep again.
Mrs. Fletcher was very ufortable when she looked at Cora, who was once radiant, but now she
was lying on the hospital bed in a pale and fragile state.
Mrs. Fletcher said, “Zachariah,e out with me.”
Zachariah followed out.
After leaving the ward, Mrs. Fletcher said, “Zachariah, I am very grateful that you didn’t show your
temper to Cora earlier. She is weak now. It is easy for a woman to have wild thoughts after a
miscarriage. If you were sarcastic to her, I don’t know how she will react. I am very grateful to you for
not adding fuel to the fire while she was at her weakest.”

Zachariah leaned against the wall; his expression was a little cold.
“Mrs. Fletcher, I said that even if Cora and I can’t be lovers in the future, I will still treat her as my own
sister. I always thought that I really loved her. Even if I haven’t seen her for nearly five years, I still won’t
change my original intention. It’s just that after five years, many things have changed. It’s too difficult to
get back the feeling of the past, so...”
Mrs. Fletcher was a little tired, and she was not as excited as she had been after hearing those words.
“Do whatever you all want. I am old now, and I can’t intervene in the love life of you all youngsters.”
Mrs. Fletcherpromised, but she stillined a little bit, "Zachariah, if you don’t have the initial
affections for Cora, you shouldn’t have provoked her in the first ce. She would have better prospects
had she stayed in Europe. In two or three years, she would be able to be the world’s top pianist.
Although the Fletcher family is well-off, it is still best for women to have a career that they like.”
Zachariah kept silent.
Mrs. Fletcher looked at him and sighed.
“In all honesty, Zachariah, I am a little disappointed in you. I have always believed that you are a
responsible man, but you are now stepping in the boats of two women. You are enjoying the pleasure,
yet you have also simultaneously hurt both of them. As a woman, I actually despise your behavior. Of
course, my daughter has be the third person in someone else’s marriage. I am actually repulsive
of it, but what can I do, she is my only daughter. Even if I don’t approve of it, I still have to support her. I
can’t let her know that I had made her perform an abortion knowing that it would cause detrimental
damages to her body.” Mrs. Fletcher said solemnly.
Zachariah looked elsewhere, and when he turned his head, he said solemnly, “Gwn, Icked
consideration of this matter from the beginning. I am very sorry. I will definitely take care of matters with
Cora. I will do my best to minimize any damage. Regardless of whether we end up as a couple in the
future, I still keep to my word, as long as she needs help, just ask and I will let go of everything to help
her. This is my promise for a lifetime, I won’t break it.”
Mrs. Fletcher’s expression improved a little.
“Zachariah, this is your promise. You can’t regret it for the rest of your life. Cora is my only daughter.
Regardless of whether you two ends up together in the future, I hope that you can help her keep the
Flecther Group from falling into the hands of others. She is outstanding, but that is only her piano
attainments. In terms of business matters, she has hardly done any, so I don’t know if she can perform
well,” Mrs. Fletcher said.
Zachariah nodded.
“Gwn, I promise you that no matter whether we end up together or not in the future, I will not let the
Fletcher Group fall into the hands of others. This is my promise. As long as Cora asks, I will help her.”
Mrs. Fletcher nodded.
“Zachariah, it’s gettingte now, go in and have some rest.” Mrs. Fletcher said, “I originally wanted you
to head back home to sleep, but you also saw how Cora can’t seem to live without you now. She is still
weak and can’t be too emotional, so please take care of her.”
Zachariah thought for a while and finally nodded.
“Gwn, you can go back, but I will take care of Cora.” Zachariah said, “I am sure Bradwen is also
busy with thepany’s affairs now. It would be tiresome for him to purposely find time to make a trip
down to visit Cora. Do let him know.”
“Then I’ll have to trouble you, do call me immediately if anything happens to Cora. We could have
engaged a caregiver to take care of her, but her willful thoughts and insistence on having you around
have caused the situation to be restricted in our choices. Please look after her well.” Mrs. Fletcher
instructed again, then she entered the ward and left with her bag.
Zachariah stood outside the ward, and the entire corridor of the hospital was quiet. As the wealthy
people lived on this floor, theyout and decoration were of the best, and the natural equipment was
also the best.
Zachariah took out his mobile phone and phoned Ophelia, it was quickly connected.
Zachariah asked, “Have you gone back?”
