Jay left without a sound.
Zayne rushed over to the apartment to find Angeline sitting straight on the sofa. With her eyes unfocused, she looked blank and lost. Zayne found his legs almost giving out at the sight.
"Angel.” Zayne staggered forward.
Hearing Zayne’s voice, Angeline stood excitedly. "He came, didn't he, Zayne?"
Zayne was rooted in place.
Then, he smiled bashfully. "I don't know. All I know is that I received an anonymous tip telling me to pick you up from here. So I came."
Angeline was feeling a rush of adrenaline coursing through her. "It must be him. He pretended to be mute and even sprayed the lavender cologne he hated the most just to hide his identity from me."
Angeline's tears began to fall. "He must have come to help me when he heard that my eyes can't see anymore through the phone. But I don't get it. Why would he push me away so ruthlessly if he can't let go of me?"
Zayne uttered out, “Let's go take you to the doctor, okay, Angel? Let's go take a look at your eyes."
Angeline nodded.
Zayne crouched in front of her. "I'll carry you."
Angeline placed her hands on Zayne’s shoulders. Zayne almost staggered as he stood, causing suspicion to swim in Angelina's eyes.
Not everyone’s backs were as steady and warm as Jay's.
Angeline was certain that the man from moments ago was indeed Jay Ares.
Zayne brought Angeline to Grand Asia Hospital. After giving her a full-body check-up, the doctor concluded, saying, "While the organs aren't damaged, your loss of sight may be caused by the nerves that have gone haywire. I suggest that you stay for observation."
The heavy weight on Zayne’s shoulders lifted.
Grayson suddenly appeared in front of Angeline with a serious look as they made their way out of Grand Asia. "Please follow us, Miss Severe. There's a document we need you to sign.”
Hearing Grayson's voice, Angeline asked shakily, " What document?"
Grayson hesitated before answering, "The divorce papers from the president."
