Chapter 247 I Want To See You Every Day 

A brief, tense silence hung in the air

Uncle Zachary! I’m here!” 

A high, innocent voice broke through the stillness

With a sudden pop, the door swung open, and Harrietta burst into the room, her small form bouncing with energy

She paused immediately upon seeing the others gathered in the hospital room, her big eyes blinking in surprise as she looked at Susanna. Hello?” 

Susanna turned, her face haggard, her once beautiful features now starkly emphasized by prominent cheekbones and sunken eyes

She stared back at Harrietta with such a harsh expression that the little girl shrank away, quickly hiding herself in Zachary’s arms. In a small, trembling voice, she whispered, Uncle Zachary, I’m scared.” 

Wrapping his arms around Harrietta, Zachary instinctively shielded her. He also made a subtle move, discreetly tucking the photograph off the table and out of sight. He lifted his eyes to meet Susanna’s gaze, and his voice was firm yet calm, You should leave now. Elijah’s downstairs, waiting for you.” 

Susanna glanced once more at Harrietta before turning to the door, but as she stepped forward, she bumped directly into Lenora, who had just entered the room

Susanna’s eyes instantly narrowed, taking in Lenora’s serene beautythe delicate but flawlessly blended makeup, the soft foundation that concealed any hint of scars. Her oval face was striking and smooth, unmarred by time or turmoil

Lenora was dressed impeccably, her camelcolored coat offset by a light scarf, her plaid skirt skimming midthigh, and stylish black ankle boots completing her look. Her dark hair cascaded over her shoulders, a vision of refined elegance

Susanna’s gaze lingered, a spark of disdain flickering as she noticed that Lenora bore little resemblance to Kenneth. Instead, she saw in her the vixenlike allure she attributed to her mother

Lenora took a second to assess the disheveled figure standing before her, recognizing Susannathe same woman responsible for Gerald’s death

Her brows furrowed slightly as a flash of anger crossed her face, then faded into confusion

How did she end up like this? Isn’t she supposed to be under Zachary’s protection

Their eyes met, and in Lenora’s cool gaze, Susanna saw a flicker of distaste. The sudden awareness of her own disheveled appearance flared up in her mind

She clenched her fists, her expression hardening with suppressed fury, and as she strode past Lenora, she deliberately bumped her shoulder. Without looking back, Susanna exited, her eyes ablaze with 

resentment

She knew Lenora must be enjoying seeing her so reduced. But she thought bitterly that this moment of triumph for Lenora was temporaryone day, she would rise to greater heights, and when that day came, she would relish treading over those who had wronged her

Lenora, though taken aback, remained silent, clenching her fists as she watched Susanna retreat down the hall. She held her composure and then stepped fully into the ward, still unsettled

Harrietta peered up from Zachary’s embrace, asking, Uncle Zachary, who was that lady? She waskind of scary.” 

Before Zachary had a chance to reply, Lenora suddenly blurted out, Why has Susanna become so thin?” 

She’d studied Susanna carefully, frowning. It wasn’t just that she’d lost weight; her skin looked dull, and the life in her eyes seemed almost gone, like her spirit was fading

With a look of surprise, Harrietta gasped, Is she Susanna? The one Grandma adores so much?Her voice was full of disbelief

Grandmajust what kind of taste is that

Zachary gently stroked Harrietta’s head. Hattie, I need a nurse to change my IV. Could you go fetch one for me?” 

Okay!Harrietta bobbed her head and eagerly skipped out

As soon as the door closed, Zachary turned his gaze to Lenora and slowly stood. He walked over to her, his tone softening as he spoke. Susanna’s been staying at Triune Hospital recently.” 

Triune Hospital?Lenora’s brow furrowed, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes. She hadn’t been aware L of Susanna’s suffering until now. Eyeing Zachary, she wondered, Did you arrange for that?” 

She’s the reason my grandfather’s no longer here. I wouldn’t just let her off.His tone was sharp, but there was a strange calmness to it

Lenora gazed at him, incredulous

Didn’t he once care deeply for Susanna, even to the point where he would’ve let anything go for her

Zachary noticed her hesitation and took a small step forward, locking his eyes with hers. Nora,” he murmured. I’ve told you before

No l l l l Ou’re the one I care about. I never wanted Susanna the way you might 

have thought. Don’t you believe me by now?” 

Lenora looked away, her gaze dropping to the floor. There had been a time she had stopped trusting him entirely, every word he spoke felt insincere

Zachary had always assured Lenora

of his love for her, but she’d never fully trusted his words. For the 

longest time, she’d dismissed those pro 

But now, hints that he might actually have gs for her left her mind blank, racing with questions. Was 

he truly fond of her

And if so, what did that mean for their years of shared historytheir wedding anniversary, their rocky attempts at building a life together? She wondered, in quiet torment, what it all had meant to him

Despite Lenora suffering countless humiliations in front of friends, family, and strangers alike, he had chosen to go to Susanna

All those painful memories that left her restless on long, sleepless nightswhat had they amounted to, really? And what about their child, who’d never made it into the world

Maybe he did care for her, but that only went so far

Because, in her mind, to truly love someone meant one saw them without trying; one’s thoughts turned to them often, their presence brought comfort and happiness, and their pain was something one couldn’t bear to see. She’d never seen these signs in himat least, not while he still consistently made sacrifices for Susanna, often at her expense

Perhaps his attachment wasn’t love, but just familiaritya habit, built from three years of marriage, that made him reluctant to walk away

Nora, could you give me another chance, pleaseHis voice was soft, cautious

But Lenora said nothing. After a moment of hesitation, Zachary gently reached for her hand, hoping she’d allow him that closeness. Startled, Lenora instinctively took a step back

He paused, his hand awkwardly hanging in the air before he let it fall, forming a fist to cover his embarrassment. He tugged the corner of his mouth into a wry smile. I’m sorry,he murmured, I was too hasty.”
