Chapter 450

"Hiring Miss Sanders as Mia's psychologist was my decision. I trust her ability. Do you have a problem with that?" Zachary's voice was sharp, his patience wearing thin. Seeing Mia in this state, he had no energy for pleasantries with Vivian.

His tone softened slightly, but his words carried an unmistakable weight.

"Vivian, let me put it this way. Suppose I walk down a road and trip over a pit. Maybe I consider filling it, but for one reason or another, I don't. But if I walk that road again, and that same pit still trips me up... I won't just fill it. I'll dig it wide open. I'll clear out every rotten branch, every piece of decay lurking inside, and only then will I bury it for good."

Vivian swallowed hard. "I... don't know what you're trying to say."

"You don't have to understand. Just remember it."

The car soon pulled up in front of the Sanders' residence.

Zachary's assistant got out and knocked on the door while Zachary immediately called Sarah.

"Mia's having an episode. Save her."

Before he could even hang up, Sarah had already ended the call.

Not even a minute later, she opened the door.

Zachary didn't hesitate he lifted Mia in his arms and carried her inside. She
