Way Back Into Love (Essie) novel Chapter 309

"Don't worry too much. Since the doctor said that she was out of danger, she should be fine." Essie comforted Zac. She knew that Leila was very important to him, and now she was injured in order to save Rabi. Zac must be very distressed and worried.

"If Rabi wants to go out in the future, he must have bodyguards with him." Zac's eyes were dark and deep. Such a thing could never happen a second time.

Essie nodded, "tonight, I'll go to sleep with Rabi. If children are frightened in the daytime, it's easy for them to have nightmares at night."

Zac raised the corner of his mouth and put his hand on her shoulder. "Silly fool, I find that you know well how to take care of children. Where did you learn these experiences?"

Essie's dark eyes flashed, "well... My neighbor in the United States has several children, and I often go to help take care of them. " She faltered.

"If only our child were still alive." Zac's eyes became extremely dim, as if they were blackened by the night outside the window. The loss of his child was a deep, incurable pain in his heart. He moved his hand down and put it on her abdomen. "Let's have another child. You will be a good mother and I will be a good father."

Her heart was like a plucked string, trembling slightly. They were no longer possible to get back together, let alone have children. "Nonsense, we have child, and Rabi is our child." She said in a low voice, with a bitter taste spreading from the tip of her tongue all the way to her throat and to her heart.

"But he's not..." He sighed, "if the child was still alive, you wouldn't have left me, would you?"

Essie didn't answer. She left because of her resentment with Mary, and her disappointment with him had nothing to do with the child.

"Let bygones be bygones."

There was a bitter smile on the corner of Zac's mouth. He wanted to turn over the story, but it seemed that the knot in her heart had not been solved, and she was still indifferent to him. If she was not still entangled with the past, or she could not forget Hanson in her mind.

He hoped the reason would be former because the former problem could at least be solved. If the latter was the case, it only meant that he was too failed.

"I'll go to see Rabi." In his silence, Essie went out. Her heart was in a mess. Since she returned to Dragon City and met him again, her heart had never been peaceful again.

On the early morning of the second day, Zac received a call from Leila. Leila was awake, but she was very excited because she was blind and couldn't see.

Zac and Essie rushed to the hospital together.

Leila's parents were all in the ward.

Leila covered her head with a quilt and kept sobbing. The doctor examined her and found that her head was hit in the car accident. The residual blood clot pressed the visual nerve, which led to blindness.

"Leila, don't worry. After you recover, the doctor will arrange an eye operation for you. As long as the congestion is removed, you can see the world." Leila's mother comforted her daughter.

Zac walked to the bedside and slowly pulled down the quilt to let her tearful face show. "Leila, don't be sad. It's just temporary. You should take good care of yourself and then you can have the operation."

"Zac." She grabbed his hand and said, "I'm so scared. Don't leave me. Stay with me all the time, okay?"

"Okay." Zac nodded, "I'll be with you until your eyes become bright again."

"Zac!" Leila sobbed and buried her face in his palm. Only he could give her peace and comfort, so that she would no longer be afraid.

Looking at them, Essie suddenly regretted. She was here, except for witnessing a pair of little lovers who had been in love for many years but could not be together, she was simply unnecessary.

She put the fruit on the table and left quietly.

When she came out of the hospital, she walked on the sidewalk alone with an empty head. She forced herself not to think about anything, but she was still very upset.

She didn't know how long she had walked or where she had been until a harsh car horn came to her mind. Turning around, she was surprised to see Zac's car. Why did he come out so soon?

"Why didn't you call me when you left alone?" He opened the door and let her in.

"I have something else to do in the company. I'm going back to my office." She made an excuse.

Zac's deep eyes blinked, looking absent-minded. He didn't see that there was an urgent matter to rush back. "I thought you were jealous again." He raised the corner of his mouth with a teasing smile.

She glared at him angrily, "you have a bad memory. I'm afraid of acid the most. How can I be jealous?"

"I only remember that your biggest characteristic is duplicity." When the car stopped at the intersection and waited for the traffic light, he turned his head to look at her with such sharp eyes as if he could see her through at a glance. She didn't know why she felt a little guilty and flustered. Her thick long eyelashes couldn't help falling down, covering her eyes for fear that her little secret would be discovered.

"I'm straightforward. How can I be duplicitous? There must be something wrong with your eyes. You are wrong. " She refused to admit it.

"Yes, it's a compliment to describe you as being duplicitous. To be exact, you should be so confused that you can't even see and understand your own heart."
