Love That Wasn't Meant to Last novel Chapter 59

"Hudson, are you out of your mind? What are you doing at a place like this?"

Zion looked around the room. He looked utterly dissatisfied with the décor and the amenities of the room.

"The bed is terrible, the decor is bad, and the whole place has a creepy vibe. If you wanted somewhere to stay, couldn't you have picked something better? Even the hospital's accommodations are miles ahead of this. I honestly don't get what's going through your head."

My hospital room was in the VIP ward, costing hundreds of dollars per day. Naturally, a hotel that cost only 50 or 60 dollars a night was no comparison.

I didn't have the time or patience for his complaints, so I cut to the chase.

"Zion, I need to ask you something. Did you send someone to follow me?"

He looked slightly puzzled but nodded anyway. "Wasn't that what you asked for? If I didn't have someone watching you, what would happen if you ran off?"

I didn't quite understand why. If that was the case, why did he still choose to meet me when I threatened to leave?

After a moment of hesitation, I sighed. "Can you not tell Selena what I was doing today? Make up an excuse if you have to, but just don't tell her I went to the station to meet someone."

"You went to the station to meet someone? Who exactly are you meeting? Where are you being so sneaky about it? What exactly happened—"

Before he could finish, I cut him off. "My girlfriend came to Adenville, and I went to pick her up from the station. She's staying in the next room. If you don't believe me, I can introduce you."

"Your girlfriend is here?" He was surprised, but he quickly became angry.

"Are you out of your mind? You don't even know if Selena has gotten better, and now you bring your girlfriend into the picture. Do you even plan on leaving?"

I understood his anger but could only sigh helplessly.

"She came here on her own without telling me. I had no idea she had come until she arrived."
