Chapter 192
Mason couldn’t help but take a step back.Zoe said with quivering lips, “Don’t push me, or I’ll take care of your precious Lilith!”…He gulped. After a brief moment, he said softly, “I thought you could duck out of the way back then! I didn’t do it because I love her. You’re the one I…”He stopped abruptly. He was about to say that Zoe was the one he loved and that he didn’t harbor any feelings toward Lilith. However, he chose to protect Lilith, instead of Zoe, when it mattered the most. He failed at protecting his wife.Then, he left her ward. He had never experienced this level of emptiness. Deep down, he knew that it was over between them.Nothing could possibly salvage their relationship.She didn’t just look at him as though she didn’t know him anymore. There was also hatred in her eyes. Who would blame her? He chose to sacrifice her and save his alleged mistress when she was about to realize her musical dream. That night, she claimed that he didn’t know how to love
Chapter 193
Zoe had suffered heavy injuries. Aside from her fractured left arm, there were bruises, cuts, and blunt force trauma all over her body. She needed to be taken care of, but she wouldn’t let Mason do it.She refused to talk to him or let him feed her. On top of that, she wouldn’t let him clean her up. It was as if she was trying to eject him from her life.Plates of food were knocked over and fell to the floor. Mason looked at the mess briefly before glancing at Zoe, who was sitting on the bed, “What on earth do you want? Do you want a divorce right now?”Feeling a tightness in her throat, she responded softly after a brief pause, “I want to transfer to another hospital! And yes, I want a divorce!”He glared at her while a nurse walked in, saw the mess on the floor, cleaned it up, and left the ward quietly. Then, he walked to the window and turned his back to her.Wearing a white shirt and black long pants, he looked stunningly sharp. After a long pause, he walked out of her ward.

Mia produced a key and set it down on Mason’s desk. She even forced herself to flash him a grateful smile. “I talked it over with Gordon before I came here. We already sent away the two private nurses. Also, we’ll no longer stay at Kirk Manor, which you so graciously gave us. We’ll move out this afternoon! “As for Noah, it’s up to you if you want to keep helping him. For the record, we’re prepared to take the loss. If we’re lucky, we might be able to see him return to us once he's served his sentence.”Mia sobbed a little. “Now, all that’s left is Zoe…” She paused for a moment before continuing. “Both of you were married for several years. You have to have some appreciation for everything she’s done throughout the years. “So, please let her go! The only thing she did wrong was to fall in love with you when she was young! It’s not a crime to have loved the wrong person now, is it?”Mason flinched. He stared at Mia. She was heartbroken, but she was still looking out for both of
Chapter 195
Mason was very calm when he walked into Zoe’s ward. The light in the ward hurt his eyes, but not as much as David and Zoe, who were embracing each other. She used to be his and only his.On the other hand, David was close to losing his control. Releasing her gently, he took her to the bathroom and asked her to stay put in there. After that, he took off his coat and his cuff links. Every action was carried out slowly and deliberately, but there was an unmistakable sense of aggression behind them.Mason was doing the same thing too.The next thing they knew, they were throwing punches at each other fiercely. Every time they swung their fist, they were out to seriously hurt their opponent. It was especially true for David. His eyes turned red with fury when he roared at Mason, “What did she ever do to deserve you? You could fill a boat with the number of guys who tried to win her heart in the music academy and yet she foolishly fell for you instead! If you don’t love her, then why

Well. It was too late now!Zoe leaned on the couch and stared off into the night. After a long time, she leaned over, looked at him, and flashed him a faint smile. “There’s something deeply wrong with you, Mason, but it's no longer my job to stay and fix you!”Mason’s face turned pale. It was dark and she couldn’t see his injuries, but it didn’t matter. It wasn’t as if she cared, anyway. He had snuffed out her love for him with his own hands!Silence draped over the ward. He was sitting on the couch and letting the doctor apply salve to him while she was leaning on the headboard quietly, a ticket in her hands. David had given it to her that evening. It was a ticket to the first Global Classical Music Concert in Hucksburgh and she was supposed to be the opening act for the entire orchestra!Unable to tear her eyes away from the ticket, she spent the entire night trying to move on from it, but she couldn’t. How could she? It wasn’t so much about fulfilling her dream as it was

It was nine o’clock in the morning. The doctor was helping Zoe with her rehabilitation. Mason was sitting and working on the couch to the side.Ava knocked on the door and came in. She leaned into his ear and said, “Ms. Lilith’s plane has taken off, Mr. Mason.”Then, he glanced at Zoe. She obviously heard it, but she wasn’t letting anything show on her face. It was as if she no longer cared.His eyes grew darker. He said to Ava, “Got it. You may leave.”He glanced at Zoe again when Ava left. Once the medical personnel had also left, he put down his work and looked at her. She looked cold and aloof. He spoke softly, “She’s gone! She can never affect our lives anymore! Can we please start over, Zoe?”She, on the other hand, kept looking out the window. It was freezing out there and a baby bird was learning how to fly. It was flying unsteadily and almost fell a few times, but it spread its wings at the last moment and flew straight into the heavens.She tore her gaze away when she

A tear slid down Zoe’s cheek. It tasted salty when Mason kissed it. Then, he stopped in his tracks and propped himself with one hand while staring at her. After what seemed like forever, he said softly, “I’ll stop here. How about I help you get changed?”She didn’t fight back when he helped her slip into a new set of clothes. Her slender frame and fair skin looked fragile, but in a beautiful way when she wore elegant black clothes. His breathing became irregular when his fingers came into contact with her skin.He was a man with a primal desire for lust. Moreover, he hadn’t done it in a long time.Fixing her gaze on the crystal chandelier on the ceiling, she was completely unfazed by his actions. In a daze, she said, “This isn’t going to work, Mason! The moment you touch me, I’m thrown back to what you did to me in the study that night. I relive the way you forced yourself on me. You made me do something not even the cheapest escorts would do.“I’ll never forget the choice yo
Chapter 199
Mason went back to their bedroom, but Zoe was nowhere to be seen. He was frozen to the spot for a few seconds before he climbed the stairs to the third floor and opened the door to the room where she practiced her violin.As he had guessed, she was right there. The violin was tossed onto the ground and she, too, fell onto the carpet. She looked so miserable, as if someone had irreparably ruined her intricate life!Mason felt a pang of guilt at the sight. Taking light steps toward her, he knelt and said tenderly, “How about we travel and clear your mind? Go ahead and pick any country. Didn’t you used to want to go on a honeymoon trip? I can spare an entire month for traveling as soon as I wrap up the jobs I have on hand now.”Lowering her head, she ran her fingers across her violin gently.After a long pause, she said softly, “I want to go to Hucksburgh!”Perhaps she wanted to attend the music concert, he thought. Aiden’s Global Classical Music Concert would be premiering tomorrow.
