Mason’s were cold and chilly, carrying a rage and hatred that Zach could not ignore.
“Don't come over!”
Emma screamed again then rolled to the other side of the bed, looking at Zach with fear in her eyes. Zach met her gaze, what responding to him was Emma’s more fearful eyes.
“It seems she is truly crazy.” Zach let out a light snort and lifted Mason to go outside, “Tell her to stay quiet! We haven't finished yet.”
“Zach Stone!”
Mason's strength simply can not match Zach’s, he had a moment of panic, “I said I don't know! How many times do you want me to tell you before you understand? I forgot all about it, I can’t remember… I really do not know…”
“Do you think you can hide it from me like this?”
“You…”
Zach looked at Mason, who was dumbfounded, and his smile got bigger, “Mr. Bush, I think the people involved want to know the truth more than you do. If she doesn't even know how her mother died, or even doesn’t know who she really is… then she is the saddest one of all!”
Mason's pupils dilated violently and just looked at Zach without speaking.
Zach grinned and put his hand on Mason’s shoulder, “So, who are you to deny her the right to know all this as a knowledgeable person? If she didn't know anything, you could hide it from her forever, but she already knows! Why torture her? Why not say? Is it…”
“Enough!”
Mason slapped Zach’s hand away and pushed him away, “Zach Stone, you really got the nerve to say that, the reason why I don't say anything is also a way of protecting her! Or do you think she could handle it if she knows it?”
Zach’s hand froze abruptly and he stared at Mason deadly, as if he could see something in Mason’s face! “You really do know something!”
“Only I know, and I will not tell others. That person has also erased the proof of Joanna's existence, you will not find anything…”
“Who?”
“You don’t have to know, not in this lifetime!” Mason grabbed Zach’s cufflinks, “If you really want the best for Elena then stop asking questions and just take good care of her!”
Zach shook his head, “No way, nothing can be hidden forever, and she is not willing to live in deception for the rest of her life, she has the right to know the truth!”
Mason listened to his capricious words and got irritated. He nearly had cerebral congestion and blacked out, narrowly holding onto a side wall.
“Why do you guys have to make it so…you don't need to know all of this… she has not known it for over twenty years, why bring it up now?”
“You’re wrong. You think you can hide it for the rest of your life, but now that someone already knows, how long do you think you can hide it? She will know sooner or later, it's just a matter of time.”
Zach suppressed the irritation and slowly said, “Tell me what you know, and I'll weigh it up as to whether it will hurt her.”
There’s struggle in Mason’s eyes…
“Mr. Bush…”
