Chapter 442 In This Life, She Was the Only One I Ever Loved
"Lola!"
There was a hospital near Sea City Gogwood, so the ambulance arrived quickly. Upon hearing the sound of the ambulance, Zackary carefully cradled Lola in his arms and, like a gust of wind, rushed towards the direction of the ambulance.
The moment Lola was lifted onto the ambulance, Zackary slowly turned his face away.
His gaze was fixed unwaveringly on Penelope's small face. Then, he gave a grim smile and never looked back.
Zackary had already left with the ambulance, while Penelope still remained half-turned, looking in the direction of the ambulance.
Suddenly, she couldn't help but remember the time when she and Zackary were deeply in love, the words they had said.
"Zack, I forbid you to kiss any other girls. In this lifetime, you can only kiss me!"
"Penelope, in this lifetime, I only kissed you."
"What if you had kissed someone else?"
"When I was a child, I heard my father say that a man, in his lifetime, would only want to kiss the girl he truly loves. If a man kissed another woman, it could only prove that he had fallen in love with that woman."
"Penelope, if one day I kissed someone else, it could only mean that I had fallen in love with someone else."
"But Penelope, in this life, the next life, and for all eternity, it's impossible for me to love anyone else."
"Zack, I wouldn't fall in love with anyone else, I only love you! Only you can kiss me!"
"Zack, I will always love you!"
***
Unbeknownst, Penelope's little face had already been wet with tears. In fact, he had done more than just kiss Lola, they even had a child together.
Although the child, due to Lola's reckless actions, ultimately couldn't come into this world, he and Lola had still done the most intimate things that a man and woman could do.
And what about her?
She had also let other men kiss her.
In the end, the pure, unblemished love of our youth, bit by bit, became tainted with the dust of the mundane world, fragmented and lost without a trace.
However, this was good, they, at last, could let bridges return to bridges, roads return to roads, with no more entanglements.
The ambulance sped away, kicking up a cloud of dust, and only after it was completely out of sight did Penelope slowly turn her face away.
She lifted her face, taking a glance at the rooftop of the third floor of the palace.
There, no flower pots had ever been placed before. In the production team, who would be so idle as to put a pot of succulents on the rooftop of the shooting location!
So, the so-called vase falling today could only have been deliberately done by someone.
Penelope thought with her toes, knowing all too well that today was yet another day of Lola's self-victimizing scheme.
In fact, she really wanted to expose Lola's hypocritical and cunning true face in front of Zackary, but she knew in her heart that he trusted Lola too much. If she rushed to tell him the truth, she would only be met with his disdain and humiliation.
So be it, Lola liked to play the victim, let her have her fill. After all, it wasn't Penelope who was getting hurt.
Scumbag men and cheap women, they were naturally a match made in heaven!
In this lifetime, they were together, disgusting each other, but it was quite good!
After arriving at the hospital, Lola was immediately rushed into the emergency room.
Thinking of the flower pot that had suddenly fallen from the third floor, a chill ran through Zackary's brow. He then dialed Samuel's number.
"Pull up all the surveillance from the film crew!"
Pausing for a moment, Zackary added, "Check! I want to know, who deliberately knocked over the flower pot!"
Zackary also knew that the suddenly falling flower pot was not an accident, but a deliberate act. He was determined to find out who exactly was trying to kill him!
As Zackary's most capable assistant, Samuel's efficiency was absolutely top-notch. Lola hadn't even come out of the emergency room yet, and he had already found all the useful videos, had his subordinates edit them together, and sent them to him.
Upon hearing the notification sound, Zackary unlocked his phone and clicked on the video that Samuel had sent.
The film crew's cameras couldn't exactly be considered 360 degrees without blind spots. However, conveniently, opposite that palace was another very tall palace. Each floor of that palace was equipped with cameras, one of which could even capture the rooftop where the flower pot fell.
The video was somewhat blurry, but Zackary could roughly make out a woman dressed as a cleaner, who had stealthily climbed to the roof, holding a flower pot in her hands.
Everyone was filming below, no one noticed her at all. She quietly climbed to the edge of the third floor rooftop, carefully placing the flower pot down.
She poked out half of her head, quietly observing the situation below. Clearly, she was looking for Zackary's position down there.
She had pinpointed Zackary's location, moved the flower pot slightly, and then, with a sudden force, she fiercely pushed the flower pot down.
Indeed, everything that happened today was deliberately orchestrated by someone.
Malice swarmed in Zackary's eyes. He half-lowered his eyelids, concealing most of the surging malice within.
Samuel had sent another video, and he quickly clicked to open it.
In the previous video, he couldn't see the cleaner's face clearly. However, in this video, which was taken when she was going downstairs and captured by the camera, she happened to lift her head. He could see her face clearly.
A completely unfamiliar person.
Clearly, the one who wanted to put him in mortal danger was not this cleaner, but the person behind her.
With a cold expression, Zackary dialed Samuel's number, "Take her to the suburban villa!"
Zackary asked Ruby to stay and take care of Lola, he turned around and quickly walked towards the elevator.
Watching Zackary's cold and lonely figure, a flash of struggle quickly passed through Ruby's eyes.
Lola, you've done something outrageous again.
She really didn't know whether to reveal the evidence she had secretly gathered, exposing her true self to everyone, or to continue aiding and abetting the tyrant.
Ruby closed her eyes heavily, then slowly opened them again.
She gave Lola one last chance, again!
By the time Zackary arrived at the suburban villa, Samuel had already brought over the cleaner, Elsa.
Elsa was a rather attractive middle-aged woman. However, at that moment, she was sitting on the ground, her forehead hair dampened by cold sweat, looking unspeakably disheveled.
Elsa also knew the famous Mr. Zackary. Upon seeing Zackary, her face turned even more unpleasant.
She kept shaking her head, "Not me! Not me!"
"Are you a ghost or what?!" Samuel looked at Elsa with disgust, "Stop babbling! Hurry up and make it clear, who made you harm our boss?!"
"I didn't! I really didn't!" Elsa almost shook her own neck off, "How dare I offend Mr. Zackary! I'm really wronged! You must have mistaken me for someone else! I didn't do anything, even if you have power and influence, you can't wrong a good person!"
"A good person?! What kind of good person would want to kill someone?!" Samuel curled his lips, he was notoriously known as a smiling tiger. His smile seemed gentle and harmless, but it also sent chills down one's spine.
He lifted his leg and took a step towards Elsa. Then, he leisurely bent down, "Oh, I forgot to tell you something. I brought your high school daughter along too! You only have this one precious daughter. Tell me, how would you live if she lost an arm or a leg?"
