The Night I Let Go novel Chapter 27

Zachary rubbed his throbbing head and followed Anya into the villa.

As soon as they entered the villa, Anya headed straight to the kitchen.

Not thinking much of it, Zachary changed his shoes and was about to go upstairs.

Just as he reached the bottom of the staircase, he heard Anya's voice coming from the kitchen.

"What's the rush? Drink some honey water before you go up!"

He then saw Anya walking over with a glass of warm honey water.

After handing the cup to him, she huffed and turned to march upstairs without looking back.

Zachary was speechless. However, he felt touched and decided to thank her.

But before he could do so, Anya's annoyed voice rang out from the stairwell. "Don't bother thanking me! After all, you're the boss!"

"So, she finally realizes that I'm the boss now?"

With a helpless smile, Zachary blew on the warm honey water and began taking small sips.

After drinking the honey water, his stomach settled. The discomfort from drinking on an empty stomach eased, leaving him feeling warmer and more comfortable.

Once he finished the honey water, he went upstairs to wash up.

As Zachary lay on his bed, he recalled what Ellen had told him at the grill house.

Wendy had deceived him from the start. She had never truly loved him and had only seen him as a stand-in for Ethan.

The thought still brought a sharp sting to his heart.

In the past, Zachary might have held back from acting against Wendy out of respect for their five years together. But now that he had found out the truth, nothing could stop him anymore.

Someone who toyed with others' emotions and betrayed their trust deserved neither sympathy nor pity. Such people were certainly unforgivable. Those who had done others wrong would eventually face retaliation.

There were still two hours until sunrise and five hours before he had to go to work.
