Chapter 127 Never Felt This Way Before
The car pulled into the mansion’s courtyard After alighting, Zachary paned and looked up. The light in the master bedroom had already been turned off.
Upon entering the living room, Zachary switched on the light. He purposefully strode over to the drawer to check and sure enough, the spare key for the matte bedroom had been pur back
He silently stepped into the room.
The room was steeped in darkness, with only a few ray of moonlight filtering through the gaps in the curtains, casting a faint glow on the bed. This dim illumination revealed her hair, spread out across the pillow
In the middle of the large bed, a small lump was formed. It appeared incredibly frail in the darkness
She was curled up, with the blanket covering half of her face
Zachary gently sat down at the edge of the bed, slowly lifting a corner of the blanket. Under the faint moonlight, he gazed at her peaceful, sleeping face.
Only then did Zachary notice that a deep furrow had formed between her brows, her temples were damp
she were having a nightmare with sweat, and she was munnuring soft
Suddenly, it was as if she had a terrifying ghtmare. Her breaths grew increasingly heavy and rapid, her fingers clenching the bedsheets so tightly that they wrinkled. Her body was stiff and trembling, while bruta of sweat rolled down her forehead. Her lips moved slightly, whispering something under her breath.
Zachary leaned over, only to hear her speaking in a faint, intermittent whisper. “No, it’s not me. I didn’t_”
A single tear seeped out from the corner of her eye, accompanying her plea. It gently trickled down, Vanishing into the pillow beneath
Zachary felt a piercing pain in his heart, a lump forming in his throat. He gently patted Lenora’s back, wiped the sweat off her forehead, and whispered, “Sleep now. I’ll protect you. Whoever hurts you, I won’t let them get away with it”
“Dad, I miss you so much. Can you take me home please….”
She dreamt of her father again.
The dream was of her childhood, when her father allowed her to sit atop his broad shoulders,
She dreamt of her sitting in the backseat of a small tram, her father handing over the only raincoat to her
She dreamt of the times when she aced her tests, and her father would personally cook a feast to celebrate her achievements.
It was clear she was feeling homesick
She yearned to return to the small cabin where she and her father had lived together, and they each depended solely on the other.

She didn’t want to be the adopted daughter of the Fuller family
She was merely Lenora, the daughter of the journalist Fernando Wilkin
“Alright, once you wake up. I’ll take your home. Zachary stated, not intending to take advantage of tennes
Likely due to the comforting words, Lenora felt much more at ease, gradually drifting off into deep sleep.
Zachary found himself entranced as he looked at her gentle and beautiful features.
So, it turns out that her tonal calmness is nothing more than facade. She has suffered as much that she would or in her dream at night, Jonas was right, she shouldn’t have to bear all this
Upon seeing the tear at the corner of her eye, he felt a dull pain welled up within him. It was not sharp yer it filled him with a lingering bitterness, causing him to suffocate.
Jonas confessed that he had feelings for Lenora, which explains why he is so concerned for her. Is this what heartache feels like?
Zachary helped Lenora tuck in the blanket, gently rose from his seat, and left, cautiously closing the room door behind him before he slowly descended the stairs
How could there be such an unbearable feeling in this world
The pain was clearly etched in his heart, yet it
lescribable.
It was like an old injury within the body. On normal days, everything would be fine. However, on a rainy day, the pain could be felt deep in one’s bones. Yet one couldn’t touch the wound nor pinpoint its origin. All one could do was endure the agony, tossing and turning restlessly.
He had never experienced such a feeling before, not even with what happened with Susanna previously.
Back then, what he felt most was an overwhelming sense of guilt.
He had just started his internship at Fuller Group when the software they were developing was leaked.
After conducting an investigation, he was the prime suspect. However, he would never disclose the secrets of the Fuller family. Therefore, the only other possibility was Susanna, who had access to his computer.
With the clues he had, he confronted Susanna
The latter, tears streaming down her face, vehemently denied any involvement, yet she was unable to clear the suspicions surrounding her.
The two had an argument as a result
Before this, the two had already experienced several conflicts.
Thus, he said, “Let’s not see each other for a few days. Give ourselves some une to cool down, then decide whether we want to continue this relationship or not.
Susanna couldn’t bear it anymore and ran out alone
Subsequently, the incident occurred.

After the incident, he often wondered if things would have turned out differently if he had chased after her that day.
However, no one could change the past.
The sigh from his grandfather, the disdain from his colleagues, Johanne’s consolation, and his senior’s attempts to rectify the situation weighed down on him heavily back then.
He didn’t have the luxury of time for sentiinentality. I le could only strive to rectify the various issues caused by the data leak.
“Mr. Fuller, what can I help you with?” Mile instructions regarding the collaboration for
ht that Zachary might have forgotten to give ening.
Zachary had always disliked the media prying into his private life. Apart from videos of his public speeches that circulated widely, he never accepted any interviews. He didn’t have any social media accounts and rarely made public appearances.
“You’re early. Ryan!”
Lenora took his hand, leading him toward the living room.
With a serious tone, Ryan asked, “Uncle Zachary, Aunt Leonora, my dad is taking me hiking. Would you like to join us?”
Wed, Nov b
The Fuller family had a cemetery nestled on a hill in the suburbs, where Ronald and his wife were laid to
The year before, Ryan was too young, so he wasn’t allowed to join them in paying respects at the cemetery.
