His Coy Lover

The driver parked the car, and Zelda immediately pushed open the car door and got out.

“Zelda.”

Zack called her.

“Do you need me to wait for you?”

Zack asked.

Without even thinking, Zelda replied, “No need, you can go back.”

Her mother was hospitalized, and she would definitely stay in the hospital to take care of her, especially since she had taken leave from Charles.

Zack nodded.

Zelda turned and ran towards the inpatient department, taking out her phone to call Alan.

Little did she know that, in her distraction, she collided with Vinson coming out of the inpatient department.

Vinson was surrounded by his bodyguards, his expression cold, and his steps hurried, as if he were in a hurry.

Before Zelda could react, his bodyguards moved forward to push her away.

Caught off guard, Zelda lost her balance and began to fall backward. In her panic, she reached out and grabbed onto a strap. Like a drowning person clutching at a straw, she held onto that strap tightly.

With the help of the strap, Zelda finally managed to stabilize herself. When she regained her senses, she found herself face to face with a gloomy and handsome face.

She blinked.

This face seemed familiar, but she couldn’t remember where she had seen this person before.

Vinson had a murderous aura.

In the midst of a crowd, his tie was tightly held by this damn woman, almost strangling him.

But when he clearly saw the face of the woman in front of him, his face changed drastically. He reached out, grabbed Zelda’s collar, pulled her closer, and stared at her with intense black eyes.

Zelda… What’s going on?

The next moment, this man viciously twisted her hand.

Zelda retaliated with a slap, pushing Vinson’s hand away.

Not only did she slap Vinson’s hand away, but she also twisted his face back.

He pinched her!

Vinson murmured, “The feeling is real, not a dream.”

A dream?

Zelda quickly took two steps back, defensively looking at Vinson and asking, “What do you want?”

Vinson’s gaze fell on her belly.

Zelda was puzzled. Following his gaze, she looked down at her belly. What was wrong with her stomach? She wasn’t fat, and there was no beer belly.

So, why was this man looking at her belly?

“Where’s the baby?”

Baby?

Zelda shivered.

Thinking of a certain possibility, she couldn’t believe what Vinson was implying.

This man had taken away her innocence in the previous life, hadn’t he?

“Zelda.”

Alan walked out from inside. He had come out to wait for Zelda and didn’t expect her to arrive so soon.

“Brother.”

Zelda saw Alan and ran towards her brother.

Seeing his sister’s pale face and looking at Vinson’s group, Alan asked, “Zelda, what happened? Did they bully you?”

As he asked, Alan clenched his fists. If Zelda said yes, he would immediately step forward to defend his sister.

Zelda pulled her brother’s arm and dragged him away while walking, saying, “Brother, it’s okay. They didn’t bully me. I ran into them accidentally because I was running too fast, and seeing so many people, I got a bit flustered.”

Alan didn’t believe it.

Zelda wasn’t a timid person, especially since she had learned taekwondo and martial arts. A few big guys wouldn’t be her match. How could she be scared to the point of turning pale just by running into a few people?

“Brother, how’s Mom? Where was she hit?”

Zelda changed the subject, not letting Alan inquire further.

Her mind was in chaos right now.

In the previous life, she had always thought that the baby was Burton’s daughter. When she learned the truth, the baby was already dying. Mother and daughter died without knowing who the biological father was.

In this life, after recalling the pain of her daughter in her past life, Zelda’s resentment towards Elle and Burton deepened. Knowing she wasn’t currently a match for those two, she struggled to control her hatred. It was beyond imagination.

She had never thought about finding the biological father of the baby.

Because she had been reborn.

In this life, she didn’t fall for their trap, didn’t get pregnant out of wedlock, avoiding the tragic fate of her mother and daughter.

“Mom thought of that person, sneaked into the city without telling us, wanted to see her quietly. Unexpectedly, not only did she lose her phone, but she also got hit by a car. She was seriously injured, but luckily she was promptly sent to the hospital, underwent surgery, and the doctor said she passed the critical period.”

“Mom wants to see Elle?”

Zelda was surprised, but soon she understood.

Even if Elle didn’t return to the Hasis family, she couldn’t erase the fact that she was the Hasis’ biological daughter. It was normal for her adoptive parents to want to see their biological daughter.

“Mom wants to see Elle. If you let me know, I can pick her up, and we can see her every day without sneaking around.”

Alan, after a moment of silence, said, “Mom doesn’t want to disturb your current life, and your biological mother doesn’t want us to see you often.”

“That person doesn’t want to see us at all. Mom sneaked into the city just to see her, but she didn’t see her and ended up getting hit by a car. She’s lying in a hospital bed, still muttering that person’s name. When I saw her like that, I felt sorry for her and went to find her.”

Zelda asked as they walked, “Is Elle in Mom’s ward now?”

In Zelda’s view, even if her adoptive mother had a car accident and was seriously injured, Elle would come to see her.

“She doesn’t want to see us; how could she be in Mom’s ward?” Alan said with a self-deprecating tone, revealing his displeasure towards Elle.

He told Zelda everything that had happened when he went to see Elle.

“She’s so heartless!”

Not even caring about her biological mother’s car accident, let alone visiting her. Thinking of the death of her parents in the previous life, orchestrated by Elle’s conspiracy, Zelda felt that this was Elle’s true nature. She even harmed her adoptive parents who had raised her without mistreatment.

Elle didn’t care about the life or death of her unknown biological mother. How could she care?

“Zelda, when you see Mom later, don’t tell her about this. Just say that Elle is on a business trip and not in River Town. It’s better for Mom’s recovery not to upset her.”

Alan reminded his sister, asking her to tell a white lie.

Zelda reluctantly agreed.

The person she regarded as her real mother was treated with disdain by Elle.

This deepened her resentment towards Elle.

As the siblings returned to the ward, they saw Elle coming from another direction.

Elle was still with Lucy, who held a bunch of flowers and a heavy basket of fruits. Lucy struggled to carry the basket, while Elle didn’t offer any help, letting Lucy struggle behind her like a follower.
