Forced Into Marriage: My Husband’s Too Mean novel Chapter 138

Lindsey had been back for over two months. The person who was initially responsible for investigating this matter took too long and did not find anything useful, which was why Zayn sent Soren over.

“Liam Wilford was meticulous and left almost no traces, but we were finally able to pry open the mouth of the doctor in charge of the Young Madam’s treatment.” Soren did not even have time to drink water and directly reported what Zayn was most concerned about.

"According to that doctor, Young Madam was originally a lost cause, but her sense of survival was so strong that it gave them a ray of hope. However, the situation was also very critical and the Young Madam almost didn’t make it several times."

Soren said while watching Zayn's face. As expected, it was very glum. He thought about it and decided to cut out some of the details in the next part.

"At first, Liam Wilford didn’t see much chance for the Young Madam’s survival and didn’t want to continue treatment. It was Ms. Wilford who pitied the Young Madam and begged Liam to help her."

Zayn thought of Allie Wilford momentarily. So, this was all her credit?

Soren continued, "But later, Liam's attitude became very strange. He found world-renowned doctors in internal medicine to treat the Young Madam. It’s also because of his efforts in this area that the Young Madam could regain consciousness."

"Did you find out the reason?" Zayn's voice was cold.

Soren lowered his head and said, "Not yet. Young Madam's attitude towards Liam Wilford is also very odd. We inquired about a girl named Ginny Young who’s supposedly the Young Madam's friend previously. Right after the Young Madam woke up and could move around, she planned to send the Young Madam back to the country, but was later rejected by the Young Madam herself."

This was all they found out at the moment about what happened between the time Lindsey was rescued by Liam and her return to the country.

Liam was very vigilant, so they did not want to startle him and could only follow the leads bit by bit.

Although Lindsey transferred to another hospital, she kept the same doctor. After the doctor confirmed that there was nothing serious, Lindsey was cleared to be discharged.

Allie accompanied her back to the apartment and looked across the hallway, but she did not see any movements. She pursed her lips and asked Lindsey, who was opening the door, “Did Zayn Guggenheim move out?”

Lindsey's hand that was opening the door froze. She almost forgot that Zayn was living across the hallway from her.

"I don't know."

"Okay." Allie followed her inside.

In fact, Allie had gone over multiple times during these past few days, but she never ran into Zayn.

Allie got someone to check on Zayn’s whereabouts and got to know that he had been staying at the Guggenheim mansion during this time. Moreover, the cause of Lindsey's car accident was because she was not paying attention to the road on the way back from the Guggenheim mansion.

However, Allie could not find out any more details.

Lindsey had been recuperating at home for the past few days. Ever since that phone call, Liam Wilford did not contact her again, so she was doubtful that he would come back.

That evening, Lindsey went downstairs to throw out the trash and ran into Quentin helping Zayn as they were waiting for the elevator to go upstairs.

"Ms. Juhl, can you please give me a hand? The thing in my hand’s about to fall." Quentin's eyes lit up when he saw her and cast her a pleading gaze.

Lindsey was stunned. She was still carrying a bag of trash in her hand and her gaze fell on Zayn's face when she heard the words. After a few seconds, Lindsey silently walked past the two men.

By the time Lindsey threw out the trash and went back upstairs, Quentin was standing at the door as if he was waiting for her.

"Young Madam, I think there are some things you might need to know..."

Lindsey, who wanted to pretend not to have seen him, went straight to her door and smiled at his words. She turned her head slightly and said, "I don't think we have anything to talk about."

When she woke up in the wee hours of the morning to a pounding sound on the door, Lindsey nearly drowned in her familiar dream.

She sat up covered in sweat, panting heavily.

At that moment, the rapping at the door seemed clearer.

Lindsey was shocked and looked at the time. It was 2:00 am.

Her first reaction was to call the bodyguard downstairs. She then realized what was going on and put her phone down again.

This scene was strangely familiar.

The surveillance camera at the door showed the man wearing a white shirt and black pants, but his clothes were already wrinkled. His hair was also a bit messy. His eyelids were droopy and his face had a drunken flush.

When he saw that no one opened the door, Zayn pounded impatiently a few times, each time harder than the previous.

Lindsey stood at the door and could clearly see the door rattling because of it. She was afraid that the door would break if this continued.

The person outside the door was persistent and would not give up until she opened the door.

The two of them stood facing each other through a door panel.

Lindsey finally could not bear it any longer and abruptly pulled the door open. She stood in the doorway looking at Zayn, who was in a daze. "Zayn Guggenheim! What the hell do you want?"
