“So it was he who helped me,” Zinnia murmured, her emotions in turmoil. When Anne got into trouble, she was worried something might happen to her too, but nothing did. She never expected Yannis would go so far for her behind the scenes.

Looking at Zinnia’s innocent face, so utterly oblivious to everything, Hugo felt a pang of resentment. She thought, ‘Some people are just born lucky. She doesn’t even realize it, yet someone’s already taken care of everything for her.’

Hugo said, “Ms. Shawn, you’ve seen enough. Just go.”

Zinnia hadn’t planned to stay any longer. She repeated, “She’ll be fine.” With that, she turned to leave. As she checked her phone, she saw a message from Charlie informing her that they could go home now.

After Zinnia left, Hugo quietly pushed open the hospital room door. He pulled up a chair to the bedside and gazed at Anne, exhaustion shadowing his usually cold, handsome features.

He muttered, “I told you, you have terrible judgment when it comes to people, but you just wouldn’t listen. You had to be stubborn. Now look at you, see what your stubbornness has gotten you into.

“I never said your face was ugly. But how could you use Betty’s stuff without worrying it might ruin your skin? That woman only does things for her benefit. She’s got the whole Shaw family wrapped around her finger. So what chance do you have?

“If you’d made friends with Zinnia, I wouldn’t have said a word. After all, she’s just simple–minded. But no, you had to pick someone as scheming as Betty, and even argued with me that Betty was truly sincere to you.

“All she gave you was a bottle of cream, and you were ready to give her everything. Who even knows where that cream came from?”

Hugo stared at the right side of Anne’s face, now perfectly healed, without a trace of scars, and let out a soft sigh.

He said, “You were always afraid I’d take the Carson family from you, weren’t you? If you never wake up, it’ll be mine by default. Would you be okay with that?”

Anne remained perfectly still, giving no response.
