Zachary carefully lifted Lenora into the car, settling her gently into the back seat, then took a close look at

her.

Her forehead was slightly red with a couple of hastily applied bandages, her left cheek was swollen with at clear five-finger imprint, and her right foot...

He lifted her right foot, intending to take off her boot. Lenora tried to pull her leg back, but he held her calf firmly.

When the boot came off, he could see her ankle swollen significantly even through the sock.

In short, she looked entirely disheveled.

Zachary's eyes darkened as he asked in a steady tone. "What's going on? How did you get all these injuries? Who hit you?"

Lenora was silent for a few seconds. "Just don't get involved."

Faced with his pressing gaze, Lenora simply turned her head away, closing her eyes.

Zachary fell silent.

He felt both helpless and angry.

Zachary had abstained from drinking at his business event tonight. His secretary, who'd been taking his place in drinking rounds, had already gone home.

"Does it hurt when 1 press here?"

"Ow!"

Unprepared, Lenora let out a cry of pain, her eyes welling up with tears.

Zachary quickly supported her, taking her hand. "It hurts a lot!"

Tears welled up in Lenora's eyes. "Yes."

It was too painful.

Seeing her red-rimmed eyes and the look of grievance on her face, Zachary couldn't help but smile.

Lenora pulled her hand back from his.

How can he smile at a moment like this?

The doctor released her ankle. "Try standing and walking around. See if it still hurts."
