I Walked Away And He Lost His Mind (Zephyra and Steven) novel Chapter 506

My expression turned cold, and I turned and walked out.

There was absolutely no reason for me to stay, and I had no interest in watching their lovey-dovey display.

Verna's words were likely eighty percent lies, completely baseless. Did she really think she knew Mr. Lancaster Sr. and Steven better than I did? But I didn't care. The fact that she could get close to Steven proved her skill, and more importantly, that Steven allowed it.

In a way, her opinion represented Steven's. She didn't want me to repay any debt to him, so why should I argue? It was exactly what I wanted.

I headed straight for Horace's room.

The moment I left, Steven pushed Verna away.

His refined, handsome brows were knitted tightly together. His eyes were bloodshot and his voice was hoarse; he had only just regained consciousness.

"Verna, who let you in here?"

She was pushed back so hard that her wheelchair rolled backward.

A flicker of coldness crossed her eyes, but when she looked up, her face was a mask of hurt.

"I was worried about you. Your leg… it's injured just like mine. But this should have been Zephyra's punishment! You hurt me for her, so fate should have made something happen to her. But she's perfectly fine, and you… Don't tell me you're suffering in her place!"

The man's features were hard, and he didn't respond. "Get out."

He reached for his phone to make a call, but Verna grabbed his arm. Her eyes fell on his screen, and the contact name—'Wife'—stung her eyes.
