Chapter 325 Zackary, don't wait until Penelope is gone to regret it!
Zackary's eyelids drooped, the heavy darkness swirling in his eyes, impossible to suppress.
So, Lola was crying for help, urgently calling him over, just because she had taken a fall?!
She fell, picked herself up, what's the use of calling him!
Did she know, just now when he had Penelope pinned beneath him, tugging at her clothes, inhaling the faint fresh scent of her post-bath body, how much he felt?!
He had been holding it in for so long, do you think it was easy for him?!
Already irritated and frustrated, Zackary found everything annoying no matter how he thought about it.
The thought of Lola still needing him to go in and give her a hand made him even more upset.
He wasn't some great virtuous person who did good deeds without leaving a name, why would he go to the bathroom to help a slippery loach?!
Not receiving a response from Zackary, Lola couldn't help but feel anxious. She persisted, "Zackary, save me..."
"Lola, I had someone come to help you!"
After speaking, Zackary turned around and headed towards the outside of the suite.
Lola's eyes were wide open, she was almost popping her eyeballs out.
Did he go to find someone to help her?
She was his fiancée! How could he let someone enter the bathroom to help her?!
Zackary had just stepped out of the suite when he saw Lyman leisurely cracking sunflower seeds, "Zackary, how could you bear to leave without taking a romantic bath with Lola?!"
Who cared about taking a bath with Lola!
Zackary gave Lyman a cold glance, his voice devoid of any emotion, "Lola just said, she fell in the bathroom and needs help!"
"Cough, cough..."
Lyman almost choked on the sunflower seeds in his mouth, he coughed for a while before he found his voice again, "Zackary, you can't possibly be asking me to help Lola, can you? Your own fiancée, you should be the one to support her, I'm not that idle!"
Zackary felt that Lyman was too unreliable to count on for helping Lola.
Seeing several female staff members in the hall, he walked up to them, his face expressionless as he spoke, "Lola just said she fell in the bathroom, you guys go help!"
Several female staff members looked utterly bewildered. So, Mr. Zackary was asking them to go to the bathroom to help the frail Lola?!
What on earth was Mr. Zackary doing? Penelope was taking a bath next door, and he rushed over in a hurry. His own fiancée fell down weakly, yet he asked others for help. The world of the rich, they really didn't understand.
What the boss says, goes. The staff dared not disobey.
They nodded weakly, then quickly rushed into the suite in front of them to assist Lola, who was striking a seductive pose in the bathroom.
"Puff..."
Lyman was directly amused by Zackary's magical operation.
Although he was not any kind of love expert, he could see through some things as an outsider.
It was clear that Lola wanted to take advantage of the situation to seduce Zackary and do some impure things with him in the bathroom. However, he didn't give her any chance at all. His heart was as firm as iron!
If Zackary had any interest in Lola, he wouldn't have missed such a great opportunity.
From his divine operation, he could clearly read that Zackary truly did not have Lola in his heart.
"Zackary, I've been wanting to ask you something."
"Speak!" The unsatisfied man still had energy. Of course, Zackary couldn't possibly show Lyman a good face.
Lyman shuddered slightly, he leaned on Zackary's shoulder, and in an instant, he regained his casual and dandy demeanor.
"Zackary, Pennie was previously badmouthing Penelope online, which upset me, so I released some negative information about her to teach her a lesson. However, I only released information about her taking advantage of a charity event without contributing a penny. Yet, there was also information online about her meddling in a wealthy man's marriage, causing his ex-wife to have a miscarriage."
"Was it you who released this scandal about Pennie?!"
"No!"
Indeed, it was Zackary who exposed Pennie's big secret, but he would not admit it. He would discipline Pennie for the sake of Penelope.
Hearing Zackary's words, Lyman laughed even more unrestrainedly, "Zackary, do you really think I'm stupid?! I've already asked Samuel, it was you who told him to let go!"
Zackary frowned, his assistant was unreliable, his mood was really not beautiful.
Seeing Zackary's awkward appearance, Lyman almost burst into laughter.
When his gaze, sharp as a knife, swept over him, he quickly stopped laughing.
Lyman patted his shoulder, speaking with deep sincerity, "Zackary, if you have Penelope in your heart, why do you keep making her so upset?"
"Zackary, I grew up with you, in my heart, you are my own brother. Considering the bond we share, having worn the same pair of trousers, I want to give you one last piece of advice."
"Take a good look at your heart. If Penelope truly resides in it, be kinder to her. Trust her, love her, cherish her."
"Penelope was the best girl in the world, she deserved the best treatment. Zackary, I don't know why you would rather believe in Lola, this devil, than believe in Penelope, but I want to say, don't let yourself regret it."
"Penelope was still around then, you still had the chance to trust her, to treat her well."
Thinking of Penelope's illness, Lyman couldn't help but feel his eyes well up with tears. It took a great deal of effort for him to hold them back, but the lump in his throat, he couldn't control at all.
"By the time she's gone, even if you want to treat her well, you won't have the chance."
"Zackary, I didn't lie to you, Penelope and I had a blood test, she really is my biological sister. I also didn't deceive you, Penelope has never betrayed you, it's just that you didn't want to believe her."
"Zackary, I've said all there is to say. Don't wait until it's gone forever and then regret it."
Lyman was truly a particularly cheerful adolescent with a touch of "chūnibyō", but whenever he thought about how he had asked the doctor a few days ago, Penelope's hard-won stable condition began to deteriorate rapidly, he just couldn't bring himself to be happy.
He didn't want to shed tears in front of his good friend. He hurriedly turned his face away, not wanting to show his vulnerability.
After taking several deep breaths, he finally choked out, "Zackary, Everett has been very good to Penelope. If you don't know how to cherish her, I will do everything I can to bring him and Penelope together!"
Lyman really wanted to cry, but there were so many people in the hall. As a grown man, it would be too embarrassing to cry openly. So he decided to retreat to his luxurious suite and cry to his heart's content in private.
After all, the "Chunibyo" teenagers also cared about their dignity.
After hearing Lyman's words, Zackary was lost in thought for a long time.
The video that Ralph sent to Penelope's phone was the irrefutable evidence of her betrayal towards him.
He didn't believe that she hadn't betrayed him.
But Lyman's words just now, still terrified him to his core.
He couldn't help but speak out, his voice trembling, "Lyman, what does it mean to lose someone?! What does it mean to regret when it's too late?! Lyman, tell me, what do you mean?!"
