Chapter 212 He Fainted
Zacharias coughed lightly a few times.
It was evident he was holding back, not wanting his coughing to disturb anyone.

Allowing oneself to cough freely could help clear the trapped air in one’s body, which was beneficial. On the contrary, what Zacharias was doing might exacerbate the situation.
In the past, Angela would have surely reminded him, but now she couldn’t care less.
After coughing for a while, Zacharias displayed a helpless smile. “I just came to check on you. Now that I see you’re fine, I can relax.”
Did the sun rise from the west? Did Zacharias take the wrong medication?
However, he had used this tactic before. After that, he didn’t take any further action.
Compared to the other Kins Family members, Zacharias was quiet and reserved, having the least conflicts with Angela.
One of the reasons might be due to his health.
As they said, barking dogs do not bite.
Individuals like Fanny and Samuel, who were openly troublesome, could be anticipated. Those like Joseph and Zacharias, who might scheme in secret, could be more problematic.
Angela wasn’t fooled by his words. “You can’t change your ways, so you’re trying to act nice now, huh? I’ll have you know that it’s futile. If it weren’t for our luck, or if Samuel wasn’t so foolish, I wouldn’t be here having a peaceful conversation with you.”
Zacharias fell silent for a moment, then let out a soft sigh. “I know we have deeply hurt you in the past. That’s why you don’t trust my intentions at all. I can’t control what others do… Cough! Cough! But Angela, I genuinely want the best for you. I owe you an’apology.”
Are you pretending now?
Angela was speechless, her gaze complex as she looked at Zacharias.
In her previous life, she was gentle and accommodating, bearing all the burdens, only to end. up in a miserable state.
In this life, from the moment she started anew, she refused to compromise herself. She

would speak her mind, say what she wanted, and not care about these people.
And now, Zacharias was behaving like this.
It made her feel like if she were to start yelling at him, she would come off as a shrew.
Angela remained silent for a moment.

Zacharias gave Angela a profound look. “My apologies. I used to blindly believe Fanny without considering the facts, but now I see clearly. Angela, seeing you living the way you are now genuinely makes me happy for you.”
“There’s no need for this false sentimentality,” Angela said, her expression slightly cold. She wasn’t adept at speaking warmly to the Kins Family members. “Don’t apologize. It’s futile. If it had been earlier, maybe things would have been different. But the damage has been done, and it’s too late.”
She wouldn’t accept it just because he apologized.
Zacharias smiled and slowly stood up. “I understand. I don’t expect you to forgive me. I just wanted you to know that if you need any help, you can come to me.”
Angela scoffed. “Don’t bother with such insincere pleasantries. Don’t deceive yourself. If I asked you to help me deal with the Kins Family, would you?”
Zacharias fell silent.
In the end, he sighed. “Well, I understand.”
He appeared resigned to his fate.
Meanwhile, Angela felt somewhat irritated.
Zacharias suddenly changed his demeanor, appearing somewhat reasonable, which made her truly uncomfortable.
Watching him exit the inner room and then enter the outer room, Angela was genuinely surprised.
Did Zacharias really come to see me? Or did he know that even if he pleaded, it would be futile, so he deliberately came over to utter these seemingly ambiguous words?
Zacharias‘ behavior puzzled Angela.
At that moment, Angela heard a noise outside the door.

Oliver rushed out to investigate.
“Mrs. Lawson, that man has fainted.”
“What?” Angela leaped out of bed, hurried to the door, and found Zacharias lying on the ground with pale lips and a bluish face.
However, this was not unexpected, given her diligent care for him in the past. She had researched various remedies day and night, exploring every possible way to nourish his body.
Despite reminding herself not to be overly involved, she couldn’t help but wonder… Will Zacharias perish without my intervention?
