“Yes, Mr. Xander. You had just left when Miss Stone completed the discharge paperwork.”Dylan’s grip on the phone tightened as a wave of dread rose in his chest.“She said she wanted soup… so why would she check herself out of the hospital?” he wondered.Thinking of how strange she had been acting lately, Dylan didn’t even bother dealing with Jenny. He bolted out the door.Back in the car, he immediately called Zoe’s phone—but no matter how many times he tried, it kept going straight to voicemail.Panic building in his chest, he tried messaging her, but it wouldn’t go through. She had blocked him.Now completely shaken, Dylan sped toward the airport, relying purely on instinct.But the airport was huge. He searched for over half an hour and still didn’t see her.Unwilling to give up, he pulled up a photo of Zoe and showed it to airport staff. Finally, one of them recognized her.“She was here more than an hour ago,” the staff member said. “Her flight has already taken off.”D

Mr. Xander didn’t say another word. Instead, he threw a thick stack of documents straight at Dylan’s face.“If you still refuse to wake up, then I’ll consider you no longer my son!”Dylan scrambled to pick up the documents. But as soon as he read what was inside, his entire body froze. Then his eyes widened with fury.It turned out that Jenny had gotten pregnant a few months earlier. She had no intention of getting an abortion. In fact, she saw it as her chance to marry into a wealthy family. To set her plan in motion, she secretly purchased a large quantity of aphrodisiacs through illegal channels.She knew it would be nearly impossible to marry into the Xander family. Even if she was pregnant, Dylan’s parents would never allow it and would likely force her to terminate the pregnancy. So, she decided to find a more “suitable” target at the upcoming party.But things didn’t go according to plan. Dylan ended up drinking the spiked wine by mistake. And Zoe just happened to be there

Zoe didn’t try to hide anything. She calmly told George everything about her past. At the end, she smiled faintly and added, “Honestly, I think I was pretty stupid. I ran myself into the ground and ended up with all these scars.”As soon as she finished speaking, George shook his head and said firmly, “No. You’re amazing.”There was a deep tenderness in his eyes that made Zoe’s nose sting. But she smiled again, more at ease now. “Anyway, it’s all in the past. I’m doing well now. What about you? Do you think you’ll ever be able to let go?”George fell silent for a moment, then lowered his eyes and shook his head. “I don’t know.”Then he began to tell his own story.He was the illegitimate son of a wealthy family. His father was the CEO of a world-renowned jewelry brand, and his mother had been a kind woman who was deceived into the relationship. When she found out the truth, she left without hesitation, taking George with her. But his father wouldn’t let them go.Over time, the co

Zoe shook her head. “Dylan, we’ve already said everything that needed to be said. We don’t owe each other anything anymore, so there’s really nothing left to talk about. Please leave. Don’t come looking for me again.”Without another glance at him, she turned and walked away, her fingers still laced with George’s.“Zoe!” Dylan called out, trying to follow but the school principal stepped in to block his path.“Sir, this is a school. Please keep your voice down. If you have personal matters to discuss, come back after school hours.”Though reluctant, Dylan didn’t want to cause trouble for Zoe. He forced himself to swallow his emotions and walked away from the hallway.After the commotion, Zoe returned to class as usual. The children, thankfully, were understanding. No one whispered or giggled. They simply sat and listened, just like always.Later that afternoon, Zoe and George planned to visit the colorful flags like they did most days. But as soon as they stepped out of the schoo

“Young love is always the hardest to let go of, especially when it runs that deep,” George thought.He hesitated for a moment, then said, “But I trust you. I trust your character, your heart... everything.”There was something deeply moving about being trusted so completely. Zoe’s eyes reddened as she whispered, “Thank you, George.”The two of them stood there for a long time under the streetlight, holding each other in a quiet, comforting embrace.Through the window, Dylan saw it all. His hands started trembling again, his breathing grew erratic. The ringing in his ears made his vision blur. He crouched down, gasping for air, completely shaken but his eyes never wavered.He wasn’t giving up. Zoe was his.Over the next few days, Dylan found a place to stay near the school and started hanging around every day, trying to talk to her.Zoe ignored him, and unlike before, Dylan didn’t lash out. He just followed quietly behind.At first, she thought his body wouldn’t hold out for lon
