Chapter 126


    Zoe shook her head. She watched as the elevator door closed and said softly, “My marriage is in the dumps. I can''t afford to lose my career along


    with it. It ll be fine. David. Let''s go!”


    The private party was surprisingly sessful.


    Zoe performed ‘A Pair of Butterflies’ before prestigious figures in the music industry and found herself hailed as the most beautiful rising ssical


    violinist. Aiden was especially pleased with her performance and introduced her to a lot of people.


    She drank a lot of wine tonight. She felt a little ufortable on the way back. It felt as if her stomach was on fire. Luke sent her home and made


    sure the servants were aware of her condition. He asked them to make some tea and send it to Zoe’s room


    The servant was concerned about her and went away to prepare tea immediately. However, she found Zoe slumped on the couch when she came


    upstairs. Beads of sweat covered Zoe''s forehead as she clutched her tummy.


    The sight shocked the servant to the core. She shook Zoe to wake her up, “Are you feeling unwell, Ms. Zoe? Should I give a call to Mr. Mason?


    The pain was so unbearable that Zoe couldn''t find the strength to say anything


    It felt terrible... The pain was too excruciating


    The servant saw the state Zoe was in and felt both panic and heartbreak. Using the house phone, she called Mason, but he didn’t pick up her calls at


    all. In the end, she sprinted downstairs and called for Luke’s help. Then, both of them carried Zoe into the car.


    Zoe was disoriented from the pain, but she had to go to the hospital. That much she knew. So, she murmured that she wasn’t going to Lockwood


    Hospital. She made it clear that she didn’t want to see Mason.


    Luke stepped on the gas pedal and drove to Samphia Hospital. He recalled that Zoe had a friend there who was a doctor. It''d make things easier if


    there was someone she knew!


    With that said, it had never urred to anyone that Lilith had checked into Samphia Hospital as well.


    Sometimes, fate was just too cruel.


    After the doctors checked on Zoe, they determined it was a stomach spasm, caused by the wine as well as her mood swings. She took some


    medicine and spent the night in the hospital. The next morning, she felt much better.


    She woke up and the servant went to handle the discharge procedure. She felt a little dizzy. So. she decided to take a stroll


    Wandering in the hallway, she could see the hospital garden through the ss and felt slightly better. She decided she''d stop to appreciate the sight.


    All of a sudden, she heard a ruckus from the ward behind her. The guy’s voice sounded familiar until she pricked her ears and listened.


    It was Mason''s voice


    He spoke in a cold, mocking tone


    “That''s right! I don’t love her, but I''ll never let you love her!


    “I might not love her, but you''ll never get your hands on her, Cecil!”


    “Let her go? Fat chance! Here’s the thing, Cecil. I’m not done toying with her!”


    Cecil spoke in a deep voice from inside the room. It looked like they were having a fight.


    Zoe stood outside and eavesdropped on the whole thing. Mason''s words cut into her like knives and they kept repeating in her mind like a broken


    record yer.


    “Here''s the thing, Cecil. I’m not done toying with her!”


    So, it turned out he merely hadn''t ~~


    had his, fil toying with her when he


    said he loved her and that he wanted


    to start over! She was only a, tool for


    hia to brag to Cecil about! I Content


    ~~


    That meant he''d abandon her the moment he was tired of her and wouldn''t even flinch when he did it.


    She couldn''t believe that she made the wrong choice to love him over and over again! How absurd! How humiliating!


    Again, she couldn''t believe that she


    hesitated an@-wrestled with herself


    when she found out thathe was \


    spendingtime with Lilith again. She


    actually too the effort to probe him


    and sée if he meant what he-gaid.


    Stre-gave him a chance to ?ome


    cféan with her. Content b&fongs to


    Zoe thought she kept a clear head all this time. However, reality proved to her how ridiculous she had been acting.


    Taking a step back, she intended to


    leave without them knowing. <>


    However, she didn''t expect to hear


    the servant s voice from behind,


    " rhete you are, Ms. Zoe! I searched


    a Lover the ce for you!” { Published by N?v''elD/rama.Org.

    Someone opened the door abruptly. Out came Mason. and his face was pale
