Zachary saw reports of the incident on the news, along with some videos taken by bystanders online. The moment he saw Tessa fighting with someone, his heart clenched tight.
Before he could recover from the shock, he saw footage of Tessa being lifted onto a stretcher and loaded into an ambulance.
He was extremely worried and used his assistant's phone to call Tessa several times, but no one picked up.
He dropped everything he was doing and rushed to the hospital. He had no idea which hospital Tessa had been taken to.
There were three hospitals near the scene of the incident, and he went to each one, asking around, until finally, he spotted a few familiar faces outside the emergency room at the last hospital.
He lost all composure as he rushed over and grabbed Stephen's arm. "Stephen, how's Tessy? Is she okay?"
As soon as he grabbed him, Zachary felt something sticky on his hand. He looked down and saw that Stephen was covered in blood, sending a jolt of panic through Zachary.
Stephen glanced at him coldly, yanked his arm back, and said icily, "She's still in surgery."
"What the hell happened? I saw online that one of the victims was shot. How did the attacker even have a gun?" Zachary's voice rose, then he suddenly seemed to realize something, and his face went pale. "Was it James? Did he come back for revenge?"
Stephen's eyes burned with rage as he said in a low and impatient voice, "Shut up. You're being loud."
That set Zachary off. He snapped, "Stephen, if you can't keep Tessy safe, why do you keep dragging her into your mess? If it weren't for you, she wouldn't have been in danger over and over again!"
His voice was so loud that a passing nurse shot them a glare and scolded, "This is a hospital. Keep it down!"
Zachary lowered his voice, but his eyes stayed locked on Stephen, full of fury and resentment.
"Don't you think you've done enough damage? Why won't you just leave her alone? Are you so useless that you can't even protect the woman you claim to love? What good are you?

The readers' comments on the novel: His Unveiled Passion
Whoa! Hahahahahaha! Go, Sophia! Burn, stupid Rowena! Lol...
Sooo~ Chapters 310-318 were just a repeat of Jacqueline’s punishment, official expulsion from the Jacobson family, and arrest. With few changes since Tessa and Stephen are not together this time. So Tessa didn’t witness how Jacqueline was tortured at Stephen’s base, though at least Tessa was still called over and witnessed how Stephen officially expelled Jacqueline from the Jacobson family and how Stephen’s subordinate made Jacqueline grovel in front of Tessa. Lol. I hope Jacqueline’s really out of the story now....
Also a lot of chapters were missing here. I went back to the application where it was originally published that’s why i know that this site is not reliable...
Fucked up book! Seems like the authors were not talking to each other. LOL. Yes authors, because of the inconsistencies....
The story went downhill after pg200 1. Why is Jacqueline back… she was expelled from the family already 2. There was no reason for Rowena to be mad at Tessa 3. The Jacobson already knows that Stephen wants to get back witb Tessa after they deal with James, so why is Rowena pushing hard? LOL 4. The family also knows that Stephen and Nancy have some sort of deal. The story was okay from page 1-199, but clearly it’s a thumbs down. I can deal with grammatical errors, but story errors is just different now....
This is funny! Jacqueline was also the culprit why James knew that nancy was Stephen's cousin. So, really, what happened when steohen tortured jacqueline hahah...
I wonder how many authors does this book have? Suddenly jacqueline was back and continue to bad mouth tessa. And was stunned that tessa knows her feelings about stephen. And then rowena was freaking mad at tessa too; because there werw multiple instances that tessa sharp-tongued her. 🤣...
What is wrong with the story flow? At chapter 160-164 there’s this whole thing about Stephen revealing in front of all the Jacobsons family members about Jacqueline’s inappropriate feelings towards him and her involvement in murder. There’s even this “Just like that, Jacqueline was officially expelled from the Jacobson family. Stephen then promptly handed her to the authorities.” So I was already glad the bitch is out of the picture. And then suddenly at chapter 236, Jacqueline appears again like nothing happened, still being the adoptive daughter of the Jacobson family and the family being unaware of her feelings for Stephen. Seriously? Doesn’t make sense anymore....
The latest update is just a repetition of the previous chapters...
I don’t like that Stephen is dropping Tessa. They could work together to go after James. But if this happens then I’ll stop reading....
