Never See You Again

Zion turned around, frowning slightly.

Serena tried to approach Zion, but Charlie stepped in her path. "Ms. Norman, why are you out of bed? The doctor said you have to rest. Come on, let me bring you back."

Charlie was worried that Serena would become even more upset. He'd been up all night. If she fainted again, he wasn't sure he could handle it. "Zee, can we talk privately, please?" Serena's voice was weak, her eyes red as if she were on the verge of tears.

But Zion's gaze remained on Maeve, not even acknowledging Serena. Following his gaze, Serena saw Maeve standing behind her. She bit her lip.

Charlie spotted Maeve too and covered his face in exasperation. It was going to be a showdown.

Serena approached Maeve and kneeled in front of her without a word. Then, she grabbed Maeve's hand and cried, "Mrs. Brooks, can you please let Zee talk to me for a moment? I really need to ask him something!"

Her actions drew immediate attention from the people around them. A crowd began to gather, and they whispered as they watched the scene

unfold.

Charlie rushed over. "Why are you kneeling, Ms. Norman? Please stand up!"

Despite his efforts, Serena's grip was strong. He couldn't pull her up, even with his 6'2" frame. How did she have this much strength?

Maeve remained calm. "Whether he talks to you or not is his choice. Why are you asking me?"

Serena was taken aback by how Maeve could keep her composure even after seeing her kneeling down. Her earlier frantic demeanor subsided, and she began to sob with her head lowered, looking deeply aggrieved.

"Zee promised to take care of me forever. He's all I have left. But you still have a husband, Mrs. Brooks. Can't you leave Zee to me?"

Her tone was desperate, her eyes pleading.

The crowd buzzed with speculation about their relationship.Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

Maeve stood unfazed, letting Serena clutch her hand. "If Zion made you that promise, you should ask him instead of pestering me. If you continue to harass me in public, Ms. Norman, I'll consider calling the police to resolve this."

Charlie's eyes widened in admiration. Maeve was as tough as Zion. No wonder Zion liked her.

Hearing Maeve's words, Serena finally let go of her hands. Charlie then helped Serena to her feet, giving her an out.

Serena lowered her voice, saying, "I'm just too scared of losing Zee, Mrs. Brooks. I'm sorry..."

"I prefer not to be called Mrs. Brooks. Call me Ms. Scott from now on "

"Okay, Ms. Scott..." Serena looked even more pitiful and aggrieved.

Lyra, who had been watching, couldn't stand Serena's act. Serena always looked so wronged in front of others, as if everyone had betrayed her. As Serena walked back toward Zion, Lyra made a move to stop her, but Maeve grabbed her arm to hold her back
