Chapter 64
“Jon…” The whimper she let out hit his heart hard as if it carried a massive weight.
He was surprised by that, as though all his senses were enveloped by her “Jon”
She raised her chin. A faint smile adorned her pretty face before she suddenly kissed him.
He looked at the woman before him in a daze.
Although he knew he could dodge the kiss and that she had probably done it with a clouded mind, he felt reluctant.
He felt reluctant to refuse the kiss. When she kissed him, it made him feel obsessed.
While she was kissing him, he only received it passively.
She was probably the only person who could make him behave that way.
A strange feeling p erv aded his heart.
He had always been cold. Even if a woman got close to him, she wouldn’t be able to incite any of his feelings. However, the one before him was different.
Her kiss and her breath seemed to be a kind of delusion for him.
It was not until she called his name in a raspy voice that he returned to his senses abruptly. It dawned on him that he had almost lost his composure earlier.
Even if he genuinely wanted her, it would not be in such a situation.
Jonathan took a deep breath before pressing the nurse call button.
Not long after, the doctor and nurse rushed over and gave Rosalie another sedative injection. Only then did she calm down.
While others might not have noticed anything, Carlos, who had been with Jonathan for many years, could feel something strange about Jonathan at that moment. It was as if Jonathan was suppressing something.
“Could it be. Carlos whispered inwardly as he looked at Rosalie, who was lying on the bed. All of a sudden, he realized something.
“Perhaps how much a man cares about a woman is not determined by how much he wants the woman but by how restrained he is for her. Who would have thought a man like Mr. Youngblood would withhold himself to this extent for Rosalie? I’m afraid Mr. Youngblood’s care for Rosalie has immersed deep into his bone, Carlos thought when he left the ward.
The Xanthos and Hamilton families had dinner together on the night of New Year’s Eve. After Yvette finished the New Year’s Eve dinner, she went to the back garden of the Xanthos residence with Zachary,
“Is there something going on between you and Jonathan?” Yvette suddenly asked.
Zachary suddenly froze and looked at Yvette with a pale face. “What are you talking about? What could be going our between Jonathan and me?”
“If that’s the case, why did you look so upset after talking to Jonathan at our engagement party that day? Besides, Zendaya is injured. The loan application of the Xanthos family, which was rejected by the bank earlier, was suddenly approved, too. All of these, are they connected?”
Yvette’s questions made Zachary’s complexion turn even more pale.
“Enough. All of these are not connected. Don’t ask anymore.” Zachary was vague with his answer,
However, Yvette refused to give in. “Zachary, we’re engaged and are going to get married soon. Is there anything you can’t be frank with me about?”
Zachary hesitated. Of course, he wanted to divulge the truth to her. After all, keeping the things about Jonathan and Rosalie to himself was also a kind of pressure for him.
Especially in the past few days, his parents had been worrying that he was still in love with Rosalie, so they kept harping on him not to see her again.
In truth, he no longer had feelings for her.
It was a pity that he could only suffer in silence while still worrying about whether Yvette would misunderstand him.
“Yvette, there are some things I can’t say.” Zachary took a deep breath.
Yvette stared at Zachary and asked, “Is Zendaya’s injury related to Rosalie?”
Zachary looked at his fiancée in astonishment and couldn’t utter a word. Nevertheless, Yvette could tell that her guess was correct from his expression.
“So it’s related to her. Could it be that Rosalie knows someone in prison, and those people have some background?” Yvette
continued to speculate.
Before Zachary could answer, a voice suddenly rang out. “It turns out that I was injured because of Rosalie!”
Zendaya limped over. She originally wanted to summon Zachary and Yvette back to the main hall and did not expect to hear about that.
Speaking of the injury, she felt so aggrieved that her leg was broken and she had to suffer hardship in the hospital. She even became a laughingstock among her friends.
Yet, she couldn’t find out who was the culprit of her injury nor attend her brother’s engagement party.
She still harbored anger toward that. That was why the moment she heard that Rosalie had sent someone to hurt her, she was furious and wanted to settle the score with Rosalie immediately.
“Zach, if you continue to speak up for Rosalie again, I won’t acknowledge you as my brother anymore. I don’t know how long it’s going to take for my leg to heal. What if there were any after-effects? My leg was going to be crip pled by then. Zach, since Rosalie asked someone to hurt me, I’m going to crip ple her leg in return. Otherwise, I’m not worthy of my name!” Zendaya said fiercely as she took out her phone. It seemed that she was looking for someone to execute her plan.
“As I said, if you want to be safe and sound, don’t mess with Rosalie anymore!” Zachary snapped.
“Why? Who is Rosalie? Why should I be afraid of her just because she could find those people she knew in prison to help her?”
“That’s right. Zendaya is the daughter of the Xanthos family. If she does not fight back after someone takes revenge on her, if would mean anyone could tra mple over the Xanthos family in the future.” Yvette supported Zendaya.
“You know what? Jonathan is the one who helped Rosalie,” Zachary blurted out. His face immediately went pale after he said
that.
He was taken aback by his own words and thought, “Da mn! How could I say that? If Jonathan knows that
Just like Zachary, both Yvette and Zendaya’s faces also turned pale.
They were surprised to hear Jonathan was the one helping Rosalie.
“How is that possible? How could Jonathan help Rosalie? She was the one who caused Melanie’s death back then,” Zendaya uttered in disbelief
Zachary simply said bluntly. “Believe it or not, this is the truth Jonathan may have fallen in love with Rosalie. In short, he should be the one responsible for Zendaya’s injury this time. Besides, Jonathan did say he didn’t want Zendaya to attend the engagement party”
Zendaya almost fainted when she heard that.
