The car pulled into the hospital, Zachary found a parking spot and parked. With familiar ease, he located the psychiatrist’s office and knocked before entering.
“Mr. Fuller has arrived. Ms. Carston’s diagnosis for today has concluded. Her condition has not improved, but rather, it has worsened. I just administered a sedative to help her sleep.”
When Zachary heard this, his expression turned solemn. “I understand.”
“Mr. Fuller, I hope you take this matter to heart. Ms. Carston’s condition had significantly improved before, but in the past couple of days, it has suddenly taken a turn for the worse. There’s a chance it could develop into severe depression, and that would be quite difficult to
handle.”
“Indeed.” Zachary nodded in agreement.
Upon learning about his marriage, Susanna was deeply affected, causing her condition to
worsen.
He walked to the bedside, looking at Susanna’s pale face, feeling an exceptional sense of guilt
in his heart.
Once upon a time, there was a girl who was gentle and lively. However, due to her struggle with mental illness, her personality drastically changed, and she attempted suicide several times. He knew he could not let her down.
Zachary was seated on the stool beside the bed.
After an indeterminate amount of time, Susanna woke up in a daze. “Zack, is that you? Am I dreaming? How come you’re here?”
“Susanna, it’s me. I’ve come to see you,” Zachary said to her with a gentle smile.
She lifted her face, her expression gentle. “Zack, you’re not working tomorrow, so would accompany me for a shopping trip?”
“All right.”

At noon, Allison made a phone call. “How is it, Nora? Did he attend the charity dinner last night? How did he find it?”
Based on the old lady’s tone, she evidently had no idea that Susanna had also attended the charity banquet..
Lenora chuckled and responded, “It’s quite nice. The desserts were delicious.”
Allison chuckled. “All you know is to eat desserts. Didn’t you let Zack buy you any jewelry or something?”
“Zack gifted me a bangle. It’s quite beautiful.”
“All right, all right. When you have time, bring it back for me to sec. I wonder what kind of bangle it is.” Allison was overjoyed, secretly thinking that this rascal was quite considerate.
“Okay.”
“By the way, Nora, I have two tickets to the grand theater for tomorrow night. It’s for that famous. group of ballet dancers that are touring Jacaster. Someone gave them to me, but it’s not really my thing. Why don’t you and Zack go? I’m sure you young folks will enjoy it.”
“Uh…”
It was understood, without needing to be said, that this was Allison’s second attempt at matchmaking.
Lenora wasn’t sure if this was good or bad.
Upon seeing Lenora’s hesitation, Allison immediately reassured her, “Don’t worry. I will personally speak to Zack. Would he dare not to go?”
“All right, then…”
It was unclear when Zachary returned to the company. Before finishing work, he sent a WhatsApp message to Lenora: Wait for me after work. Let’s go home together
Lenora responded with a single word: Okay.
Just as Lenora was about to turn off her phone screen, a WhatsApp message from Sophia
came in.
SugarSoph: “Nora, do you want to go shopping tomorrow? It’s Saturday.”
Recently, Lenora indeed hadn’t been out shopping, and with the arrival of the new fashion season, she feared she would be too busy to go shopping.

She responded: All right. What time shall we meet tomorrow?
SugarSoph: Meet me at Goldary Mall at nine.
HotNCold: All right.
After work, Lenora and Zachary went home together.
“Has everything been taken care of at the police station?” Zachary asked.
“Yes, it’s been taken care of.”
“Did Grandma mention going to see the dance tomorrow night to you?”
Lenora looked at him. “Did you promise Grandma?”
“Mm–hmm.”

“Have you ever considered that what we’re doing isn’t right? If one day, news of our divorce. were to be announced, it would surely break Grandma’s heart. You shouldn’t have agreed so readily. Even an occasional refusal would give Grandma some peace of mind.”
Zachary sneered, “Why didn’t you refuse?”
“I wasn’t the one who proposed the divorce, so why should I be cast as the villain?”
“Didn’t you also want to divorce? What’s the difference, then?”
