"What If I say no?" Bent took a step back while carrying Bethany.
He deliberately rushed over to save her because he wanted her to owe him a favor. That way, he would have a better reason to approach her, win her heart, and achieve his goal.
Therefore, how could he let Zayn interfere?
However, when Zayn saw that Bent was not releasing Bethany, his eyes narrowed, and he shouted, “Gael”
“Yes!" Gael got out of the car. When he was behind Bent, he clamped both of Bent's arms.
"What are you doing?" Bent's expression changed as he spoke with undisguised annoyance.
Gael said with a smile, "Bent, I advise you not to move. Otherwise, you will drop Ms. Quest."
Upon hearing these words, Bent, who initially wanted to struggle free, could only stay still and watched Zayn snatch Bethany from his hands. Zayn carried Bethany in his arms and was about to get into the car. Bent suddenly said, "Zayn, do you know who your actions resemble? A jealous man!". Zayn was stunned. Then he regained his naturalness and looked at Bent sideways.
"You're overthinking. I only don't want her to fall into the hands of someone like you. You guys had nothing to do with each other in the past, yet you suddenly approached her. Didn't you want to get something from her?" After saying that, Zayn withdrew his gaze and closed the car door. Gael also hurriedly let go of Bent and got into the car.
Upon looking at the distant Bentley, Bent moved the painful joints that Gael had caused. Oh, Zayn, you have a heart for Bethany, but you refuse to admit it. Since this is the case, don't blame me then. No matter if it's a person or an object, as long as it's Something you care about, I will snatch it all!"
Bent was determined to get Bethany! 'I believe it will be very interesting when Zayn sees Bethany calling me husband and her child calling me father” As Bent thought about it, he laughed maniacally
"Mr. Meyer, where are we going?” In the car, Gael asked while driving.
"We're close to the apartment. Let's go there! Zayn glanced at Bethany and responded” Bethany leaned against the car door. She was curling up into a ball and kept on shivering.
"Cold..." She mumbled subconsciously.
After hesitating for a moment, Zayn took off his jacket and draped it over her.
However, just as he was about to withdraw his hand after doing so, Bethany suddenly hugged his arm. She leaned over to his side and kept snuggling up to him until she found a comfortable position.
She had no idea what she was doing. She only knew that what she was hugging would make her feel less cold. Bethany's actions made Zayn freeze.
He lowered his eyes to look at Bethany, who had buried her head in his waist. His gaze kept fluctuating.
Gael, who was driving the car, also had intense feelings at this moment. He was already surprised by Zayn carrying Bethany into the car. Now he even saw her snuggling up to Zayn. Besides, the fact that Zayn did not push her away shocked Gael even more!
Mr. Meyer has never been so intimate with Miss Jessie before!
At this time, Gael suddenly recalled
Bent's words about Zayn acting like a jealous man just now. With careful inference, when Mr. Meyer saw Bent carrying Bethany, Mr. Meyer wanted to snatch her over no matter what.
Didn't his actions indicate that he was jealous? Could it be that Mr. Meyer has feelings for Bethany...No way! The stunned Gael swallowed his saliva. He dared not think any further.
It was silent in the apartment and they arrived there after a while. Zayn placed Bethany on the sofa,
"Call Dave and ask him to come over!”
"Yes!" Gael answered and immediately did as he was told.
Not long after, Dave arrived with a medical kit on his back and checked on Bethany.
"How is she? Zayn asked in a tense manner as he stood at the side.
Dave unwrapped a syringe and flicked the needle as he replied calmly, "It's nothing serious. She's been too tired lately. Besides, she suddenly got a cold, and her body couldn't stand it, which caused her to get a fever. Zayn's expression relaxed, and he remained silent.
After the injection, Dave threw away the syringe and looked at him with a smile. "I was wondering why you would suddenly leave the hospital. It turns out it was because of her." Zayn did not deny it. He poured two glasses of red wine and handed it on to Dave, "She got taken to the police station because of me. Of course, I can't ignore it. By the way, how is Jessie's operation going?”
"I thought you wouldn't ask!" Dave rolled his eyes at Zayn. Then, Dave replied, The operation was a success. Jeff is worthy of being the best in the field of brain surgery. The operation was expected to last five hours, but he finished it in three.”
"All right! ”Zayn did not want to hear Jeff's name. He put his glass down and gave the order, You should go back first. Let me know when Jessie wakes up."
"Got it." Dave finished the wine in his glass. Then, he cheerfully picked up the medical kit and left.
Not long after he left, Bethany woke up. She rubbed her forehead and sat up.
"Where is this?"
"My apartment, '' Zayn answered as he sat on the sofa opposite her. Bethany only realized Zayn's presence when she heard his voice. "Mr. Meyer”.
Zayn responded to her. Then, he picked up the cup of water on the coffee table and handed it to her, "You have a fever. I couldn't find the key to your apartment, so i had to put you in here first. Have some water”.
"Thanks." Bethany took the glass of water.
The warm water flowed down her throat and into her stomach. Not only did it warm her body, but it also warmed her heart.
It turned out that the figure she saw before she fainted was him!
"I heard about what happened from Gael." Zayn suddenly spoke, "I also know that Joanna was the one who asked Daphne to make a scene."
While listening to Zayn, she looked at him with a glass of water in her hands. Her gaze revealed a bit of nervousness,“ Mr. Meyer, do you think I pushed Daphne?"
Zayn stood up while putting his hands in his pockets, "I don't know, but I'll get to the bottom of it. If it's not you, clear your name.
"Thank you, then, Mr. Meyer."Bethany smiled faintly. However, she was a little disappointed that he did not believe her.
But the good thing was that he did not suspect her either. That was enough.
"Take a good rest. I'll go back to the company first. Zayn headed towards the door.
After Zayn left, Bethany was about to search for her phone to give Erica a call. Just when she was about to dial the number, a call suddenly came into her phone.
Back in the car, Gael looked at him with a solemn expression. "Mr. Meyer, the people I sent to the police station have just found out that someone paid off the auxiliary police to torture Miss Bethany severely. They want to make Miss Bethany admit that she had pushed Daphne."
"What?" Zayn's expression was frozen. He exuded a grim aura, "So did she admit it?"
"No!" Gael shook his head.
Zayn clenched his fist with an upset expression.
"Hit the gas!"
"Yes, Mr. Meyer"
Soon, they arrived at the company. Zayn called Joanna to his office and stared at her grimly. "Joanna, I remember telling you not to target Bethany or you'd go back to your studio. However, I didn't think you'd only agree verbally, but in your heart. But you are clever. Instead of doing it yourself, you asked Daphne to make a scene!”
Joanna had long known that Zayn will denounce her. , so she had already thought of a way out to deal with the situation.
She rolled her eyes then bite her lips bitterly and tears began to roll down her cheeks, “It's because she is always with you. I'm sure she has a clever plan on her sleeves to seduce you and steal my position. Am I wrong for targeting her?”
”What the hell do you think you are saying?” Zayn pursed his lips with impatience, “I'm asking you. Regarding Daphne's fall, was it Bethany who pushed her, or did Daphne fall on her own?"
