Chapter 823: Goodbye, Zane
Zane met Neve's gaze and furrowed his brow slightly, but ultimately stood up as Neve requested.
Neve reached out and hugged Zane. "Zane, I have loved, loved with all my heart."
"I've done impulsive things, but I never wanted to truly hurt you, even if you never had any feelings for
me. I never wanted to harm you," Neve said.
After speaking these words, Neve let go of Zane. "Go and see her. I put a lot of medicine in her water,
medicine with side effects. She might die."
At that moment, Neve locked eyes with Zane. "If she dies, will you hate me?"
Neve didn't give Zane a chance to answer and continued, speaking to herself. "You will definitely hate
me, blame me for killing the person you love the most."
"Zane," Neve said.
Neve gently held Zane's face in her hands, looking at him up close. The intense gaze seemed like she
wanted to etch Zane's face into her memory, bit by bit.
"Zane, what if I sacrifice myself for her?" Neve whispered near Zane's ear.
As the words fell, Neve leaned over and kissed Zane's earlobe. "Zane, be careful of Adam."
Neve finished speaking and immediately pulled Zane towards the door. "She might not hold on much
longer. Go and see her one last time."
Neve opened the door and smiled as she looked at the people trying to break in with a cutting machine.
"No need to cut anymore."
After speaking, Neve took a step back and looked at Zane standing beside her. "Aren't you leaving? If
you're late, you might not even get to see her one last time."
Zane listened to Neve's words, didn't think much, and stepped outside.
"Zane," Neve's voice came from behind as he crossed the threshold. "If we can't be together in the next
life, let's never meet again."
Zane turned to look at Neve, and as he did, he saw the dagger in her hand plunge straight into her own
heart. She even pressed it in a little harder as it went in. "Goodbye, Zane."
In that instant, as Neve fell, she closed the door, isolating herself in the raging inferno.
Due to the spilled cooking oil, the fire spread rapidly, engulfing the entire entrance in flames.
As Neve fell, flames immediately climbed up her hair...
By the time the firefighters broke in, Neve was already a burning figure.
Despite their efforts to extinguish the flames, Neve was barely clinging to life.
...
At the same time, No. 1 Hospital.
The water Yanis drank only contained an excessive amount of sleeping pills, nothing more.
And those sleeping pills were of a special kind that only caused extreme fatigue and drowsiness after
consumption, without any other side effects.
Yanis passed out because she inhaled a large amount of smoke, causing her to lose consciousness.
Fortunately, she was rescued in time, so Yanis was not in serious danger and only needed some rest.
Bonnie had been sitting by Yanis's bedside for an hour or two, but there was still no sign of Yanis
waking up.
"I'll go find a doctor and ask again," Bonnie said, starting to lose patience as she got up to find a doctor.
Stella reached out and held Bonnie back. "The doctor said Yanis is fine now. She will wake up on her
own."
"But it has been two hours, and she still hasn't woken up," Bonnie said. When she learned about
Yanis's situation, if Stella and Wendy hadn't been in the ward, Bonnie probably would have rushed to
South Park to find Yanis directly.
"You go back to the ward and rest. I'll stay here," Zane said, looking at Bonnie. "She will worry if she
wakes up and sees you here."
Bonnie wanted to say something, but Stella quickly spoke up, "Alright, I'll take Bonnie back. Let us
know when Yanis wakes up."
Zane nodded.
Stella looked at Zane's troubled expression and decided not to say anything else. She could only take
Bonnie and leave the ward first.
After Stella and Yanis left, Zane's gaze fell on Yanis's face, filled with tenderness.
Apart from being choked by smoke, there was also a deep wound on her neck from Neve. The doctor
said she was only a hair's breadth away from injuring a major artery in her neck, just a little more force.
Zane reached out and held Yanis's hand, bringing it to his lips, kissing it repeatedly. "Yanis, I'm sorry."
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door of the ward. Zane collected his thoughts and looked towards
the door. "Come in."
Albi, upon hearing Zane's voice, pushed open the door and entered the ward. "Mr. Lawrence."
Zane glanced at Albi and then gently placed Yanis's hand back under the blanket before standing up.
"Let's talk outside."
Albi complied and turned to leave the room ahead of Zane.
Zane tucked Yanis in and then walked out of the ward.
When Albi saw Zane coming out, he took a couple of steps forward. "Mr. Lawrence, there's news from All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.
over there. They said Miss Bennett... passed away on the spot."
Upon hearing Albi's words, Zane furrowed his brow slightly and remained silent for a few seconds
before responding, "I see."
Albi glanced at Zane's face and continued, "Mr. Lawrence, I had someone investigate Adam. It turns
out he has been in close contact with several high-ranking members of the Lawrence Group recently."
After hearing Albi's words, Zane couldn't help but recall what Neve had said, "Be careful of Adam."
"Keep an eye on him for now," Zane replied.
Albi nodded. "Okay."
After Albi left, Zane was about to turn around and enter the ward when he heard footsteps behind him.
He halted and turned to look in the direction of the sound.
Ivan hurried over. "How is Yanis doing?"
Ivan had rushed here as soon as he got off the plane.
"She's fine now," Zane glanced at Ivan's face. "Did you just get off the plane?"
Ivan nodded. "When did Neve come out? Weren't you prepared at all?"
Zane frowned. "She just came out."
In fact, Zane had been somewhat prepared when Neve came out, but he hadn't expected her to act so
urgently, catching everyone off guard.
Zane briefly described the detailed situation to Ivan.
After listening to Zane, Ivan furrowed his brow. "So as soon as she came out, she went to find Yanis?"
Zane nodded. "It was too sudden, and we were all unprepared."
Ivan was at a loss for words for a moment.
Neve's persistence was truly shocking.
The two of them chatted at the door for a while before finally entering the ward.
Yanis was still unconscious when they went in.
Ivan glanced at Yanis and then looked at Zane. "You said you wanted to talk to me about something
earlier?"
