Chapter 2515
Night of Destiny
Early the next morning, Josef persuaded Shirley to take some rest. She briefly considered entering the
hospital to greet Zacharias, but given the complex circumstances, she opted to head home instead.
She went to Avaâs house to rest. She called Willow, who was currently abroad,
selecting her wedding dress. Willow and Jasper had already: set out on a journey around the world.
Shirley could finally relax knowing that Zacharias was
under Josefâs care, and she enjoyed a good nightâs sleep.
She stayed at Avaâs house for three days and planned to return to Flintstone Residence once
Zacharias was discharged from the hospital.
However, the man hadnât sent any messages during those three days. It wasnât until the fourth day, at
6.00AM, that he finally messaged her. Iâll be discharged
today. Please come over.â
She was surprised when she saw the time and. wondered why he was up so early. So, she replied, âI
wonât go over. Iâll go directly to the Flintstone Residence.
âNo. You must come. Shirley hesitated, but before she could reply to Zacharias,
he called her. She pondered why he was in such a hurry. She answered her phone and said, âHello!â
âThis is an order,â he stated firmly. Seeing his urgency, she reluctantly agreed,
âAlright, Iâll come over immediately.â
âI want to see you before 8.00AM,â he demanded and hung up the phone.
Shirley couldnât help but wonder about Zachariasâ unwavering insistence. She mused, Why does he
need to see me? If itâs about moving things, his
bodyguards could easily handle his luggage and accompany him.
However, after three days of rest, she also felt the need to return to work. She got in her car and drove
toward the hospital.
When she arrived, everything was already packed and ready on his side. He was sitting in the lounge,
his posture suggesting that he was waiting for
someone.
Shirleyâs heart skipped a beat, and she hoped Zacharias wasnât waiting for her.
She couldnât help but notice how much better he looked now, draped in a high neck black woolen
sweater that bestowed upon him an air of elegance and
sensuality.
âYouâre here,â he greeted with a nod. She reciprocated with a nod. Just then,
Freddie entered and informed Zacharias, âTheyâve arrived.â
Zacharias then turned to her and said, âCome with me.â
Shirley initially thought that when Freddie mentioned âtheyâve arrived,â he was referring to Zachariasâ
convoy. She followed Zacharias and stood by his side as
they ascended the elevator, heading toward the hospitalâs back entrance.
After reaching the private exit, which had already been cleared, several cars were parked,
accompanied by more than a dozen vigilant bodyguards. Some
stood facing outward, and one, wearing an earpiece, guarded the car door with an air of confidence
and competence. That man was none other than Cole.
As she stepped outside with Zacharias, he seized the moment to draw her closer. Before she could
react, he had already taken her hand and guided her
out.
At the same time, Coleâs gaze lifted to welcome the arriving individuals, and his expression changed
when he saw them. He saw Zacharias holding a girlâs
hand-none other than Shirley.
When she saw Cole, she instinctively attempted to free her hand from Zachariasâ grip. Soon, a sudden
panic coursed through her.
However, Coleâs professionalism remained steadfast. As Zacharias approached him, Cole nodded
respectfully and conveyed, âMr. Oswald is waiting for you in
the car.â
Zacharias acknowledged with a smile, promptly entering the vehicle as Cole opened the door.
Shirley, still standing a couple of feet away from Cole, harbored a desire to explain herself. Yet, she
was acutely aware of the gravity of the situation, which
made it an inopportune moment for such a conversation.
Coleâs gaze remained fixed on her, betraying his curiosity. However, his unwavering professionalism
restrained him from displaying any emotional
reactions. He offered a slight nod to her and redirected his attention to their surroundings.
Inside the car, the two most important people in the country, Zacharias and Ren,
were engrossed in a discussion of crucial matters.
Shirley, being mindful of not disrupting Coleâs work and not wanting to attract attention, chose to stand
silently in a corner, quietly observing the unfolding
events.
