The Hidden Gold Mine Heiress Divorcee novel Chapter 288

Chapter 288 Five Years Ago 4 

No one dared to disobey when Miss Scott spoke. 

The maids took a step forward, but then promptly withdrew. 

Boris looked up at Ziana. 

The latter had a faint expression, and those beautiful eyes were filled with the pride. 

She said to him, “If you want to leave, you have to rely on your own strength, but right now it seems like you can’t even stand up.” 

Boris pursed his lips and tried to get up, but the result was not satisfactory. 

He didn’t have the strength to move anymore, so he simply resigned himself to staying still, only using his silent, dark eyes to stare at the young girl intently. 

However, Ziana smiled. 

This smile made her coldness disappear, and instead, it was replaced by a charm that should not have belonged to someone of her age. 

She walked up to him and crouched down, meeting his gaze. “The doctor’s report showed that you were injected with a high concentration of drugs, and there are also multiple signs of fighting on your body. Therefore, I think you must have had an accident and were designed to end up in a situation where you had to take a blind 

gamble.” 

Boris looked at her with a gaze that was a bit more probing. 

“I’m not wrong, am I?” Although it was a question, Ziana continued without waiting for his answer. “The other party targeted you with deadly intent, and it must have been with a purpose. If you go back now, you will have a tough battle to fight. But you can’t even stand, let alone walk. With this appearance, aren’t you just going to offer your head on a platter? If I were you, I wouldn’t go back. I would hide here, find out the situation outside, and make other plans.” 

She clapped her hands and asked the maids to bring over a tablet. Then, she sat on the ground and asked him what his name was. 

Boris was still lost in her words and replied casually, “Boris.” 

“Ok.” 

On a strange webpage, Ziana entered his name, and soon a bunch of information popped 

After scanning through the document, she asked him, “Japera City, the Lewis family? 

You’re Zezili Lewis’ grandson? Your father is Sam Lewis, the CEO of the Lewis Company?” 

“Yes,” he confirmed. 

Ziana raised her eyebrows thoughtfully and said, “It’s too coincidental that your parents had accidents on the same day.’ 

Boris suddenly turned his head and noticed her tablet. 

you and 

She generously lent him the tablet and tapped a few times on the screen, which popped up several news articles. 

Ziana said meaningfully, “These past few days, there have been a lot of news articles online about your family. Your parents had had an accident, and you are also missing, and your grandfather was so overwhelmed with grief that he ended up in the intensive care unit at the hospital. It seems like the Lewis family, who are able to manage the situation, have all encountered misfortunes at the same time. Do you think someone might be trying to seize power while they have the chance?” 

She pointed to two of the news articles, “Your grandfather’s younger brother, who now calls himself the head of the Lewis family. Upon hearing the news, your uncle, who was kicked out of the family years ago, also claims to want to take charge of the family and is preparing to return from overseas with his whole family. Both of them have high 

suspicion.” 

Boris indeed had the same thought, “That’s why I’m anxious to go back.” 

“Why are you in such a hurry?” she scolded him, “Revenge is never too late. Now everyone outside thinks you’re dead. You might as well use this to your advantage and 

let them squabble. It would be best if those two end up fighting each other. By staying here and observing, you’ll be able to see the situation more clearly. Once you’ve 

recovered, you can go back and deal with them all.” 

Boris finally took a closer look at the excessively beautiful girl. 

Originally, he was only grateful to her, but now he was starting to appreciate her a little. 

Her advice to him was calm and collected, yet also ruthless and ambitious. 

Boris did not hide his tone, “I didn’t expect you to be quite knowledgeable.” 

Ziana slyly winked and said, “I do know a lot. Follow me and learn well, and one day you’ll be as knowledgeable as me. But, you’re a high-achieving student who received a full scholarship to Princeton. I don’t believe you couldn’t think of these things. It’s just that when it comes to family, you care too much and become chaotic.” 

Her words were cleverly spoken, first affirming her own confidence, then expressing affirmation of his abilities, and finally sincerely acknowledging his emotions. 

It seemed that the girl in front of him had a high emotional intelligence and intellectual intelligence! 

Interacting with someone like her could bring a sense of joy and pleasure as long as she was willing to do so. 

Boris spoke in a gentler tone and thanked Ziana again, “Thank you, Miss Scott.” 

“I’m Ziana Scott,” Ziana introduced herself. “You can call me Ziana, it’s an extra privilege for handsome guys like you,” she added with a coy smile. 

She reached out her hand to help him up and said, “Let me help you up. Don’t worry about the wounds on your face. I won’t let you be disfigured. But for your eyes, you have to wait for a while. I’m currently looking for a suitable cornea. I’ll let you know when I 

have any news. 

“I saved you, so now you belong to me. Everyone in the Scott family knows that I am protecting you, and no one dares to bully you. If you need anything, whether it’s food, supplies, or anything else, just let me know. You can stay here and rest and recover from your injuries.” 

“I won’t stop you once you’ve recovered and are ready to go,” Ziana replied. 

Ziana finished speaking and greeted the two maids with a smile, who helped him back 

onto the bed. 

It would be false Boris wasn’t touched, his voice was low and slightly trembling, “I won’t forget Miss Scott’s kindness. Expressing gratitude with money may not be 

necessary for you, but if you ever need my help in the future, I promise to assist you.” 

He was grateful that he had bet on the right person, not only did he survive, but he also met such a good savior. 

“Nothing to it, really,” Ziana lazily waved her hand. “I don’t really need any help, but if you really want to thank me, just recover your good looks as soon as possible. I love looking at handsome guys, and your current face breaks my heart. It’s such a waste!” 

Boris looked at the girl in front of him, treating her like his own younger sister. On his usually stern face, there was a hint of fondness. 

He cooperated and said, “Okay, I never thought that one day I would have to serve people with my looks.” 

“Ha-ha!” 

Boris stayed there like this. 

He focused on his recovery while keeping an eye on the Lewis family’s movements. 

Ziana had been busy with her own affairs during the day since that day, and she would come over to check on him every night to see how he was doing. 

After Yudel investigated Boris’ identity, he didn’t stop Ziana from making friends. 

anymore. 

As they spent more time together, their relationship grew closer and more intimate.
