Chapter 997 Meeting Again After A Long Separation

On their way back to the Bloom Garden, Zachary and Sharon chatted happily as they were walking towards it. But as soon as they entered, they saw Tania standing outside the gate of the house. There was a cold expression on her face. When she saw the two arrive, she quickly walked towards them.

"Sharon, where did the two of you go? And why didn't you notify me as soon as he woke up?" Tania questioned her. There was a reproving tone in her voice.

"Oh, Aunt Tania! I thought you were still collecting herbs, so..." Sharon's voice trailed off. She hadn't expected that Tania would be back so soon. So now, all she could do was staring at the ground guiltily.

"But didn't I specifically tell you to inform me as soon as he woke up?" Tania repeated reproachfully.

"I...I didn't..." Sharon couldn't find the right words to say. Therefore, she just lowered her head and fiddled with her clothes anxiously. Obviously, only then did she realize that she had done something wrong. Her aunt seemed like she wasn't done reprimanding her yet.

"What's more, you even took him out of the house! He just woke up, for goodness' sake! Therefore, we still don't know how his current physical condition is. Do you know how dangerous that could have been? How could you just bring him outside without even consulting me?" True enough, Tania had not finished scolding her.

"But if only I went out to help you at that time, you would not have been severely hurt. Your fiancee would not have been taken away either." Anne shook her head and continued to sob.

"Alas! I was already destined to suffer through all of that," Zachary sighed deeply. The system had already predicted that. He was aware that he had to experience a life and death crisis. Therefore, he knew that he couldn't have escaped it no matter what.

"How are you feeling right now? Do you feel any discomfort? Are you not hurt?" Anne asked, as she looked up and touched Zachary's face.

"Don't worry about me. I'm fine," Zachary answered reassuringly. He smiled gently at Anne to ease her anxiety.

"That's good to hear. Tania and I were really worried that you would..." Anne seemed like she wanted to say something but stopped midway.

"What is it? Why were you worried about me?" Zachary frowned. He stared at Anne curiously.

"Oh, n-nothing. It's okay as long as you're fine. Don't worry about it." Anne hesitated for a bit. But in the end, she decided not to tell him anything.

However, Zachary had already sensed that Anne and Tania might be hiding something from him. Nevertheless, he didn't press on. He knew that they would tell him when the time was right.

They had not seen each other for months. And because they had been separated for too long, there was an undeniable passion between the two of them. Soon, the temperature in the chamber began to rise as the two began to enjoy the wonderful time they shared.
