Forced Into Marriage: My Husband’s Too Mean novel Chapter 358

The room was dark, so Zayn turned on the lights, then rang the patient’s call bell next to the bed to get the nurse.

It was just a tiny cut, but Zayn treated it like it was a fatal injury and insisted to get it treated before he could be at ease.

When the nurse left, Lindsey touched the gauze on her wrist and lowered her gaze.

Zayn reached out and embraced Lindsey. His voice was gentle as he said, "Go to sleep." He lifted the blanket and laid her down, then laid down himself.

Lindsey's body stiffened slightly. She turned to look at Zayn and was a little surprised. "You’re sleeping here?"

"Mm." Zayn stretched out and pulled the blanket over the two of them. His hands encircled Lindsey’s body tightly.

"Go to sleep." He patted Lindsey's back. "I'll stay with you. Don't be scared."

Zayn did not ask her what she was doing in the bathroom in the middle of the night. He just kept reassuring her and comforting her. He kept telling her not to be afraid, that he was still there.

This was the first time since they were separated that they shared the same bed, but it did not feel unfamiliar. Lindsey was actually thinking of the little boy and the small urn earlier that day, but now that she was in Zayn's arms, she gradually became drowsy and fell asleep.

Once Zayn felt the person in his arms breathing slowly, he looked pained.

The next day was the day Lindsey was discharged from the hospital. Since Zayn and Lindsey still needed follow-up checks, Zayn simply postponed their trip back home until they recovered completely.

Zayn bought a villa in a peaceful area. He was afraid that Lindsey would feel bored, so he got Soren to send Sieben over.

It was a sunny day that day. The blue sky and white clouds lifted their moods.

Someone had already done the discharge procedures for Lindsey, but Lindsey stood at the entrance of the hospital for a long time and was reluctant to get into the car.

Zayn stood beside her and saw the longing in Lindsey's eyes. He froze for a while, but he still asked, "Do you want to go for a walk in the hospital garden?"

Lindsey's eyes lit up and looked at him expectantly. "Can I?"

Zayn's heart was bitter, but he just smiled and took Lindsey's hand. "Of course you can. Let's go. We’ll go together."

He knew at a glance what Lindsey had in mind. Unfortunately, they waited for two hours, but the little boy from yesterday did not show up again.

In the end, Lindsey was disappointed. She lowered her eyes and held Zayn's hand. "Let's go."

She took the initiative to leave, so Zayn pulled her up, and only then did they leave the hospital.

Liam Wilford’s debacle came to an end for the time being. His body was never found and because of the police’s involvement, his cause of death was characterized as a suicide for fear of facing up to his crimes. Smith was also sentenced to life imprisonment.

Wilford Corporation had been an empty shell thanks to Liam Wilford’s secret dealings. Their remaining assets were also confiscated by the police.

As for where the money went after Liam sold the company's assets, the police were still tracking it and had no clues yet.

Rats would naturally abandon a sinking ship. With the collapse of Wilford Corporation, many businesses of all scales were affected. The entire German economy was shaken and it also had a significant impact internationally.

Zayn's international investment did not stop because of this. Due to the fall of Wilford Corporation, Zayn had more room to maneuver and rapidly expanded the Guggenheims’ business in Germany.

After Lindsey was discharged from the hospital, she found out that Zayn still had injuries. After knowing how the injuries came about, Lindsey locked herself in her room for a long time.

That day, Zayn went out for business. When he came back in the evening, he found out that Lindsey had not left her room the entire day. The maid called her and she responded, but she just would not open the door or come out.

After she said this, she pulled Zayn downstairs. “Let’s go! I’m starving!”

The kitchen made their meals every day according to their preferences, but more so, they suited Lindsey’s preferences.

They sat facing each other. Lindsey quietly chewed the food. It was only one bite, but she took a long time to swallow.

Ten minutes later, Zayn put down his cutlery. He also had a few bites, but his eyes were serious as he looked at Lindsey. "Stop eating."

Lindsey looked up at Zayn and swallowed the mouthful of food with difficulty before she asked, "What's wrong?"

"Stop eating," Zayn repeated again. He got up and took the cutlery away from her hands.

Then, he sat beside Lindsey and carried her on his lap, ignoring the fact that there were still servants present.

Lindsey was startled by his action and gently slapped him. "What are you doing?"

"Leave, all of you." Zayn turned his head sideways and raised his voice, but he held Lindsey's hand tighter.

When it was just the two of them in the dining room, Zayn looked straight into Lindsey’s eyes. "Stop eating if you don't feel like it."

"No, I just..." Lindsey subconsciously wanted to say something.

Zayn interrupted her, "My wounds have already healed."

He knew why Lindsey was acting so out of the ordinary.
