Chapter 291:

Months had passed since Bryan’s wedding had been the center of media scrutiny, but unexpectedly, the event was called off.

Within a day, the frenzy of the sensational news dwindled as if the wedding between Bryan and Eileen had never been announced. The spotlight pivoted to Phoebe and Jacob’s upcoming wedding.

When word got out that Bryan was in the hospital, Zola didn’t waste a minute; she dashed to his side. She had masked the bruises on her face with makeup, but despite her efforts, something still seemed off upon closer inspection.

At the hospital, neither Stella nor Bryan seemed to notice anything amiss about Zola.

As Zola entered the room, Stella was showing something on her phone to Bryan. Seeing Zola, Stella quickly put away her phone.

This caught Zola’s attention.

“What were you showing Bryan? He’s hardly in any condition to be handling work matters, is he?” Zola said.

With a dismissive shrug, Stella responded, “Bryan’s been refusing to eat. I had no choice but to reach out to Eileen to see if she might visit and coax him into eating something. Unfortunately, she declined.”

The mere mention of Eileen’s potential involvement sparked a flicker of anger in Zola. Thankfully, Eileen had opted not to return. Moving closer to Bryan’s bedside, Zola sat down. “Why on earth would you think of bringing her back after everything? She’s the reason Bryan’s in this state!”

Zola gazed at Bryan, noticing the stubble that dusted his face, her expression melting into one of concern. Gently, she reached out, wanting to touch his face.

Bryan’s hand with the IV line shot up and clutched her wrist with a force that almost seemed to break it. His demeanor was stern, yet his proposal sent a thrill through Zola.

“Do you want to marry me?” he asked.

The question came so unexpectedly that Zola paused, her heart pounding as she grappled with her response.

It had to be her earlier offer to find surrogates for his children and her willingness to side against Brandon and Lydia that had convinced Stella to sway Bryan’s decision. Zola knew that for the sake of the Dawson family, Bryan must have little reason to refuse.

But if she agreed to Bryan immediately, her true motives might become transparent. It would raise Bryan’s suspicions.

However, rejecting him wasn’t an option for her.

Amid her turmoil, a scornful laugh broke the silence. Glancing down, Zola noticed Bryan’s mocking smile, his eyes gleaming with disdain.
