Chapter 880
“It has nothing to do with Zachary. I cut myself by accident.”
Acting like everything was okay, Serenity said to Elisa, “Elisa, the thing about me and Zachary…”
“I don’t blame you, Seren. You don’t have to explain or apologize to me. It’s not like we just met. I’m only furious that Zachary lied to both of us. He made a monkey out of us cousins.”
Moments ago, Jasmine had told Elisa the whole story about Serenity finding out Zachary’s identity. Elisa’s heart went out to her cousin who was fooled the whole time.
“Seren, I gave up on Zachary a long time ago. I got over Zachary the moment I found out he was married. I feel more at peace after I backed off and stopped thinking about him for a while. Don’t let me come in the way of your decision. Lying aside, he’s someone you can spend the rest of your life with.
“Of course, since he played you like a fiddle, I hope you take your time in forgiving him. At least, make him suffer for a bit.”
Now that Elisa thought about it, she was the older cousin–in–law to Zachary now. Elisa could straighten Zachary out for her cousin.
“That’s what I think, but I won’t interfere with what you think or how you want to deal with the matter.”
Elisa picked her injured finger up for a careful inspection. “The bleeding doesn’t seem to stop. Let’s get you to the hospital. You’re looking a little pale too.
“I’ll drive you to the hospital.”
Serenity refused even though her finger was hurting like hell.
The scissor really drilled deep into her finger. It was a good thing her finger was still intact.
“I’m your cousin, older at that too. You have to listen to me.”
Not taking no for an answer, Elisa dragged Serenity out.
Jasmine was on Elisa’s side, convincing Serenity to clean and redress her injury at the hospital.
“Say something. Tell me if you’re facing another issue. I told you time and again–you need to do something about that temper of yours.”
