Mason responded lightly after Ava was done talking.
“I’m coming over right now.”
However, he didn’t leave immediately. Instead, he touched Zoe’s cheek lightly. It wasn’t warm like before. In fact, it was rather cold.
He said in a deep voice, “I need to go to the hospital. You should go ahead and head to bed.”
Zoe stayed silent.
Grabbing his coat from the bed, he put it on and leaned down to touch her cheeks again before leaving.
It was a windy autumn night.
The moment he had left, she relaxed and started panting lightly.
It was a good thing Ava called when she did. Luckily, Mason had to leave because something happened to Lilith. Otherwise, she might’ve just given in to his tender moves and brought pain and misery to herself.
Sliding off the makeup table, she looked at both the business card as well as the diary and tucked them away.
All of her youthful memories were in that diary.
She might have hated Mason intensely, but never once had she thought to throw her diary away.
…
Lilith was still in the emergency room when Mason arrived at the hospital. Eric was standing at the door with a blank expression. Carly, on the other hand, was sitting on the floor, wailing at the top of her lungs.
She demanded to see the hospital director.
“Lilith was about to get married to Mason. If you guys won’t surrender the culprit, my future son-in-law is going to shut your hospital down! All of you will be out of jobs and end up on the street!”
Ava couldn’t stand her. Noticing that Mason was walking toward them, she yelled at Carly, “Mr. Mason’s here! Shut your trap unless you want him to pull the plug on Lilith’s treatment!”
Carly had always been an arrogant person, but she cowered the moment she saw Mason.
Bawling, she asked him to speak on her behalf, “Lilith saved your life, Mason. You have to do everything you can to return the favor! Please, I beg of you.”
