Chapter 555 Changed Because Of You

When Zed took a different turn, Jean immediately realized that they weren't walking towards the direction of Avery's room. Her eyebrows furrowed in confusion, and she asked, "Aren't we going back to Avery's room?"

"No. Moore is there with her, so what are you worried about?" Zed asked back as he adjusted his hold of Jean, whom he was carrying behind him.

"Yes, I know that there is nothing to worry about anymore, but don't you think it's impolite to leave without saying goodbye?" Jean replied with hesitation evident on her tone.

"Trust me. Avery will be grateful to us if we leave them alone now." After saying that, a sly smile formed on Zed's face.

Jean's eyes instantly gleamed at this thought and wondered why she never realized that herself. She let it go and lowered her head to look at Zed. "You talked to Avery when Moore and I were out, didn't you?"

Zed nodded in agreement and said, "Hmm. She told me that she has liked Moore ever since time immemorial."

"I have guessed that," Jean replied. A huge smile betrayed on her face when she said, "I have observed that Avery has feelings for Moore."

"Well, you are right. You really got it right this time. That's why I told Avery straight out that we would help her." Zed couldn't help sighing as soon as he finished his words. Soon after that, he continued, "I am no longer the cold guy that I used to be. You know, I just realized that I wouldn't have said or done anything like that if it hadn't been for you. If I haven't met you, I would still be the same old distant Zed, who every thought had a heart of stone, but after you, I changed for the better. I've changed because of you, Jean. And to be honest, I like myself better this way."

Jean was pleased to hear Zed say that, so she couldn't help but show a wider smile. Her eyes sparkled at that thought. She gave Zed a peck on the cheek before she replied, "If so, I should be your master from now onwards."

Zed did nothing but shake his head and chuckle upon hearing Jean's joke. With a smile plastered on his face, he carried Jean on his back all the way to the parking lot, ignoring the stares that they received from people they passed by.

As they arrived at the parking lot, Zed gently opened the car door and assisted Jean onto the passenger seat carefully. Only after that did he turn round and sit on the driver's seat. When he was about to start the engine of his car, he saw a young and handsome man with blue eyes and silver hair get out of a Rolls-Royce Phantom.

The man caught Zed's eyes. He couldn't help but stare and mumble, "Adolf."

On the other hand, Jean noticed how Zed stopped to start the car, so she glanced towards Zed and followed the direction of his gaze. He mumbled something that Jean wasn't able to catch, so without removing her gaze from the handsome man, she asked, "What? What did you say, Zed?"

Zed gave Jean a quick glance and noticed that Jean was looking at Adolf as well, so he returned his gaze towards Adolf, who was already leaving the parking lot. "The man we sa

“Who does she think she is? I won’t marry her even if she is the last woman on earth,” said Hiram Rong.

“Marry into a family with tens of billions of assets? How lucky I am! I won’t be so foolish as to break off the engagement. At worst, I can receive money as part of the divorce settlement,” said Rachel Ruan.

Their great-grandfathers made a pact about their engagement a hundred years ago...

Moore look like an ideal couple, ' Jean thought.

Adolf must have mistaken them and tried to rebuke Avery, or else he shouldn't have worn a straight face, and Avery wouldn't have looked that nervous when Jean and Zed came in.

However, for Moore, it was unfair for him to be misunderstood by Adolf.

At the thought of all these, Jean involuntarily looked at Moore. She saw nothing but a long and gloomy face on him, staring at nothing in particular as if all the life had been sucked out from him.

Moore turned indifferent at Jean's gaze as if he hadn't noticed it. He just stared blankly as he had been.

Seeing Moore like that, Jean couldn't help but sigh deeply inside her heart. It seemed that things between Moore and Avery hadn't gone on as she and Zed had expected.

Jean and Zed had planned to leave Moore and Avery alone in the ward so that they could spend more time together, have more chances to understand each other and catch up on the memories they had before. However, the tranquil atmosphere had been ruined by Adolf before Avery could do anything to confess her love for Moore. As a result, Moore had had an aversion to her love, and the chances of him rejecting Avery would be higher now.

'What should I do?' Jean wondered.

She then shrugged and just asked Moore directly, worry plastered all over her face. "Moore, are you okay? What's wrong?"

Moore didn't want to reply to her at all, but when he saw that all others present were staring at him, he had no choice but to answer back, "I am fine."

Adolf was a little bewildered at this exchange. He turned to Zed and asked, "Do you know each other?"

Zed nodded and affirmed. "Yes, he is my friend."

Adolf's eyes widened in surprise and confusion at the same time. "You are friends?" He was clearly taken aback as his facial expressions suddenly became weirder. Then, he questioned again, "Moore has been living in Chicago. Mr. Qi, have you ever been to Chicago?"

Jean's facial expressions suddenly changed upon hearing Adolf's question.
