Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 1550

Zachary gazed at Lena, overwhelmed by a surge of emotions welling up inside him.

As he remained silent, fixated on her, Lena grew slightly perplexed. Sensing his unease, she decided to lead him away from the bustling crowd and handed him a bottle of water.

"Sir, did you get hurt when you fell just now?" she asked.

Zachary responded with a smile. "I'm fine. But what about you? Others ignored my fall, yet you lent a helping hand."

Lena hesitated briefly. "Well, you fell, so it was only natural to help."

A meaningful glance from Zachary followed. "Aren't you worried I might accuse you? Didn't you notice? The people around hesitated to assist, and some even recorded the incident."

"Perhaps there are a few conniving individuals in society who've tarnished common decency, but it doesn't mean everyone is malicious," Lena replied with a smile.

"Do you have faith in people?"

"I didn't use to."

Lena sat beside Zachary, both of them gazing up at the sky. From this angle, she bore a striking resemblance to Krystal. Zachary's heart tightened, and he furrowed his brow.

"In the past, I had little trust in people." Lena continued. "But then, I met two individuals..."

Zachary anticipated her to mention a particular person, a man, given the inclination of someone her age.

"Oh, who were these individuals?"

"My sister." Lena chuckled. "And the other one... my boyfriend."

Recalling his investigation, Zachary surmised that her boyfriend must be Chris Hamerton. As for her sister, she likely referred to Lina Jenner.

Sasha had tasked him with apprehending Lena while also substituting her identity, ensuring that only one of the twins would survive in this world.

Zachary's frown deepened. He observed the genuine, radiant light in Lena's eyes, so different from the cold, calculating gaze he had seen in Sasha's eyes.

Lena snapped back to reality, remembering she had invited him to visit Nala together.

"What's the matter? You seemed lost in thought. Did something happen?"

"No," Lena replied with a smile, shaking her head. "Let's hurry to the ward."

Chris added, "By the way, our recent visits seem to be making a difference. Nala doesn't appear to resist you as much anymore."

"Chris, I have a lingering suspicion."

"Yes, what's on your mind?"

"Is Nala's previous resistance toward me truly solely due to her illness-induced bad mood? It doesn't seem that straightforward."

"We're on the same page!" Chris exclaimed. "Some strange occurrences have happened lately... For instance, Pammy claimed she spotted you at the hospital the other day, but you didn't actually see her, did you?"
