I Forgot I Ever Loved You (Zoe and Hayden) novel Chapter 223

Zoe didn't want to choose either.

But Grandmother Eleanor was still here.

This was the most prestigious sanatorium in the capital. Backed by Hayden's influence, the care Director Carter provided for Eleanor was truly top-tier.

She could easily transfer her grandmother to another facility, just like she had with Lily's school. But Eleanor had been living here for five years. The nursing staff knew all her routines and habits perfectly.

Eleanor suffered from Alzheimer's. She wasn't like a child who could adapt to a new environment in a heartbeat. For a patient in her condition, starting over somewhere else was virtually impossible.

A sudden move could severely worsen her illness or cause irreversible trauma.

Zoe simply couldn't risk the consequences.

Hayden didn't give her any more time to think.

Director Carter was already approaching with the engineering team to find her.

The robot debugging had run into a snag. From a distance, the two tech engineers noticed that Zoe seemed to be in a heated argument with Easton Group's CEO.

They had no idea what the two of them were discussing.

Their Director looked fiercely indignant, while Mr. Thorne wore his usual mask of cold, unfathomable detachment.

They had both heard the rumors that Zoe used to be a secretary at Easton for years, and that five years ago, she had been so desperately in love with Mr. Thorne that she had even drugged him.

They couldn't understand why Mr. Thorne was here. Had their Director's old obsession flared up again? Was she hounding him?

"Mr. Thorne, Mrs. Thorne..."

The Director recognized them both and tried to step in to flatter them, only to be met with two lethal, icy glares.

Zoe's stance was rigid, her eyes flashing with a freezing light.

"I am not Mrs. Thorne."

She never truly was. Even marrying him felt like some bizarre accident, and to this day, she couldn't comprehend how she had ended up tied to a man like him.
