But a simple wish like that can't even be fulfilled…
Zayn, who used to be so powerful and charismatic, had become so pathetic because of love.
Benard's heart ached when he looked at Zayn. He could not help but suggest, "Why don't we tell her the truth?"
Shut up!" Zayn squeezed his throat abruptly and warned, "If you dare let her find out, I'll kill you and Freda!"
"Ahem…" Although Benard was almost strangled to death, he did not dare to resist.
Luckily, Zayn released him quickly. Collapsing on the sofa, Benard clutched his neck and kept coughing. After he regained his composure, he apologized frantically, "I'm sorry, Mr. Giblo. I was only making a suggestion. I won't tell her. I swear on my life!"
"You're not allowed to bring this up in the future." Zayn was furious. "I want her to return to my side willingly, not out of pity for me."
"I understand." Benard nodded fearfully.
Zayn did not say anything else. He raised his wine glass and drank silently.
Standing beside him, Benard reminded carefully, "You should stop drinking after finishing this glass. You still have to see Dr. Feroma tomorrow morning."
When Dr. Feroma reviewed the information that Brandy had given to him, he had asked Zayn to meet him the next morning.
"Shut up!" Zayn was bristling with frustration.
Not daring to say anything else, Benard stood at the side with his head lowered.
At that moment, someone knocked on the door. When Benard opened the door, the manager walked in with a pot of tea. He said carefully, "Ms. Gold prepared this and asked me to send it over."
"Hasn't she left already?" asked Benard, feeling puzzled.
"She waited for her subordinates to send the tea leaves over. After preparing the tea and instructing me to send it to Mr. Giblo, she left." The manager shot a timid look at him. "She said that since Mr. Giblo's complexion doesn't seem too good, he shouldn't drink too much alcohol. She even said that Mr. Giblo will definitely like this tea."
"I've been keeping an eye on her before coming here with the manager, " said the bodyguard who was tasked to bring Nella out. "Her bodyguards had arrived to pick her up. Polka sent her out, while I returned with the manager."
"Alright, you may leave now." Benard took the teapot and checked it. Then, he brought it to Zayn and said, "You've heard everything."
"That's very kind of her." Looking at the teapot, Zayn remembered Nella's gentle and affectionate gaze. He could not help but lament, "If only Carla can be that nice to me…"
"That's really thoughtful of Ms. Gold." Benard poured a cup of tea. "It's green tea, which is good for your stomach. Why don't you have a try?"
Zayn took the cup and sniffed the tea. It was obvious that the tea leaves were of high quality. As he had been taking his medication for a long time, his stomach condition worsened. Each time he drank, he would be in much pain afterward.
As he had never told anyone about it, he did not expect Nella to actually notice such minor details.
"I didn't say anything!"
Benard was starting to feel fearful now, worried that Zayn would overthink.
"Actually, if one is attentive enough, one will find out." Zayn lifted the cup and took a sip. He praised, "The tea tastes good. It has been prepared very well."
"There's still someone who cares about you, " said Benard gently. "Each time after you drink, your stomach would hurt so much that you can't sleep at night. Doesn't it feel much better after drinking some tea?"
Zayn did not say anything. Instead, he stared at the cup and fell into deep thought.
At that moment, he received a message on his phone. When he glanced at it, he saw that Nella had just sent him a video.
In the video, beautiful fireworks were exploding in the night sky at Baykeep's beach.
The smoke rose to the sky and formed the words, You must be happy!
There was even a cute smiling emoji at the end, which reminded one of Nella's gentle smile.
The nice spot which Nella referred to was actually a surprise for him on the beach. When she noticed the sorrowful look in his eyes, she did not probe about it. Instead, she wanted to create a romantic surprise to make him smile…
