Love That Wasn't Meant to Last novel Chapter 48

Looking at the empty corridor, I thought for a moment before striking up a conversation with Zion. "Is Selena very close to Andy?"

"They're not exactly close, but not bad either. Their relationship isn't as simple as it seems on the surface," he replied.

Zion looked at me suspiciously, his eyes full of wariness. "Hudson, you never used to bother with things related to Selena's company, so why are you suddenly so invested? What exactly are you thinking?"

I was speechless at his wild imagination, but I didn't bother correcting him either.

"Then why does she dislike you so much?" I asked, puzzled.

"No idea. Maybe she's just messed up," Zion replied irritably. For some reason, he looked at me with the same annoyed expression.

"What's it to you, anyway? Why do you care so much? Hudson, you didn't used to be like this. Ever since you went to Carzonia, you have been asking all sorts of questions."

I was used to Zion's sarcasm, so it didn't bother me much. In fact, it gave me a strange sense of superiority, as if his jabs were actually his frustration about me taking Selena away from him, though that wasn't my intention.

Recalling what Andy had said, I frowned and asked, "Did Selena have health issues from a long time ago? Her hospitalization wasn't really because of me, was it?"

There was a flash of shock in Zion's gaze, but he quickly regained his composure. He studied me as if trying to find something, then looked away.

"Don't jump to conclusions. Since you're helpful to her treatment, whether it's because of you or not, you need to stay with her."

Hearing his answer, I sighed, feeling a bit helpless.

It seemed that the reason behind Selena's illness no longer mattered. Zion had no intention of letting me leave until she recovered.
