Chapter 457 Why Did Fanny Kins Tell A Lie?

| was only after hearing James‘ persuasion that Scarlet agreed to let Zacas leave the hospital. But Fanny couldn’t shake off hersuspicions.

Upon seeing the furrow of concern on Scarlet’s brow, Fanny reached out to soothe her. “Ever since Zacharias came toNorthland, he has hardly stepped outside. It’s high time he did. Mom, trust me, if James thinks it’s safe to leave the hospital, thenZac will be just fine.”

Scarlet cast a weary glance at her and let out a heavy sigh. “I get it. James always has his own way of doing things.”

In that moment, a twinge of guilt tugged at her heart. Deep down, her reluctance to let Zacharias leave the hospital stemmedfrom her fear that he might secretly undergo testing and then donate his kidney to Fanny.

This fear revealed a clear lack of trust in Fanny among the Kin Family members. Even Joseph hadn’t been able to fully confide inher.

After all, whoever told Fanny about the results of the compatibility test all came back negative.Fanny locked eyes with Scarlet and offered a genuine and warm smile.“Mom, even without James’ advice, you shouldn’t worry too much. Zac has his own way of handling things.”

Scarlet let out a weary sigh. “Hmm. Once Zac is out of the hospital, I'll make sure to spend. quality time with him. You shouldn’tfret either.”

She couldn't quite grasp the idea that Zacharias had a method to his madness, especially when he had carnestly offered todonate his kidney to Fanny before.

He had reached a point where he simply didn’t want to go on living.How could someone who had lost the will to live possibly have a method to their actions?

She had given James her word that she would ensure Zacharias‘ release from the hospital because she had faith that Jameshad a plan in place, whether it was to prevent Zacharias from receiving accurate matching results or to halt his thoughts andactions of donating his kidney.

Fanny nodded resolutely. “Alright, Mom. I'll be there for Zac, too.”

But when she expressed her desire to support Zacharias, Scarlet remained silent as her thoughts swirled with concern.4/4

She was practically hoping that Fanny and Zacharias would stay apart. How could awe kazi to hear Fanny talking about beingwith Zacharias?

Fanny's face tightened as she sensed something was off. She was abounovelbin

when Scarlet chimed in, her tone firm, “Focus on your studies and be cautious around Chris Don’t worry about anything else.”Scarlet’s words came off a bit rigid and authoritative.

Fanny’s expression froze, and an icy sensation gripped her heart inexplicably,

Scarlet was keeping her away from Zacharias.

But Fanny came to the hospital to convince Zacharias to come back to Riverdon with her There was no way she would letScarlet get her way.

She decided to drop the subject of accompanying Zac after his discharge. Having settled into the chair, she said, “Mom, I’mfeeling much better now. You go ahead and handle the paperwork.”

Scarlet noticed her improved complexion and, feeling a pang of awkwardness over her earlier words, offered a casualreassurance before proceeding to deal with the paperwork.

As Scarlet walked away, Fanny couldn’t shake the turmoil within her.

Ever since Christopher suggested that she and Zacharias should be a match, Scarlet had been harboring resentment towardChristopher, and it had started to affect her relationship with Fanny as well.

Despite Scarlet’s recent coldness, Fanny’s heart ached.

After a moment of contemplation, she made her way to Zacharias‘ ward.

She was determined to persuade him to leave Northland with her, but her resolve had never been stronger.

Northland had become a cesspool of problems, and she longed to escape its clutches. She didn’t want to stay a moment longer!

When she finally reached his room, Zacharias wasn’t lying in bed as usual but sitting in a wheelchair by the bedside, gazing outthe window.

Although he couldn’t see much from his vantage point on the fifth floor, the distant skyscrapers held his attention, and theirimposing presence seemed to captivate him despite his physical limitations.

“Hey, Zac, Fanny’s voice broke through his reverie.

Zacharias slowly turned his wheelchair toward her and took a moment to refocus.

Fanny, shouldn't you be in class?” he inquired.

Fanny hesitated for a moment before offering the excuse she had prepared for Scarlet, but his expression soured.Sensing his doubt, she was about to explain when he interjected, “Fanny, do you have a lot of studying to do?”Fanny shook her head, feeling a bit dazed.

She didn’t care about her studies at all as she probably knew that she could easily get a diploma by just fooling around, andeven if she couldn't, it didn’t matter. With the Kins Family behind her, as long as she could marry a good man, she could still livea good life.

She had once entertained the idea of marrying Christopher, but after all that had happened, her feelings for him faded. Besides,before heading back to Riverdon this time, she had least managed to lure Christopher into Florence’s trap, so the notion ofmarrying him never crossed her mind, even if he dared to broach the subject with her.

Fanny always had doubts about Christopher’s proposal; it just didn’t feel genuine.

Upon seeing her shake her head, Zacharias persisted, “Could you accompany me to another hospital later? It won’t take much ofyour time.”

Fanny felt her heart race. She sensed something in Zacharias‘ request, yet he appeared sincere.With a quivering voice, she inquired, “What is it that you want to do, Zac?”

Zacharias let out a sigh. He was about to respond when he noticed someone approaching the ward from outside, prompting himto shake his head subtly.

Fanny furrowed her brow. She had also sensed someone’s arrival without even turning around.“Why are you here in the ward, Fanny?” Scarlet’s voice chimed in from behind, confirming Fanny's suspicions.

Fanny turned and flashed with a smile. “I came to have a chat with Zac.

Meanwhile, James, having met with a friend earlier, received a message from another acquaintance who had uncovered Fanny’swhereabouts,

Jane isn’t important. What matters is that she took Fanny to meet Miss Florence Shelton, James‘ friend said, smirking andemphasizing “Miss Florence Shelton.”
