Chapter 71 Anyone but Simon
The car door opened. Scarlet rushed over when she heard the news.
“Mom, why are you here?”
“How could I not come when such a big thing happened? If I hadn’t stopped Stephen, he would have come too.”
Zayla immediately smiled at Scarlet, signaling her to be at ease. “Mom, I’m fine.”
“Thankfully, you’re fine. Why is your hand so cold? Why is your face so pale? Were you scared?” Scarlet rubbed Zayla’s hand.
“Scarlet, Zayla is fine. She just donated blood to Simon.”
When Scarlet heard Linda’s words, her eyelids jumped, and she looked even more worried.
Then, Zayla said goodbye to Linda and got into the car with Scarlet.
The car drove smoothly into Bridgeland Villa.
As soon as they got out of the car, Stephen rushed to Zayla.
Scarlet knew that Stephen was anxious and immediately said, “Zayla is fine. She donated blood to Simon. Let her go upstairs and have a good rest first.”
When Stephen heard this, his face immediately darkened. Material © NôvelDrama.Org.
“As long as Zayla is fine…”
Right now, there was nothing more important than letting her have a good rest.
Then, Stephen watched Scarlet send Zayla upstairs.
Stephen turned around and punched the cabinet.
“Stephen, what are you doing?” When Scarlet went downstairs and saw this scene, she immediately rushed forward and held his hand. “How can you not cherish your body? Does it hurt?”
Stephen shook his head. He didn’t care about this tiny pain at all.
He looked at Scarlet worriedly and said, “Mom, I am afraid.”
Scarlet knew what Stephen was afraid of.
She signed softly, “Simon risked his life to save Zayla. It’s hard to be unmoved. And Zayla donated blood to him…”
“Mom, Zayla can choose anyone but Simon.”
Scarlet said resignedly, “But this is not something we can stop. Zayla has her own
thoughts.”
Stephen gritted his teeth, blaming himself and regretting it.
“It’s all my fault. I shouldn’t have let Zayla participate in the investment promotion
conference.”
Stephen originally wanted to avenge Zayla and let her vent her anger, and he did not expect that there would be danger and that she would be saved by Simon.
This was undoubtedly creating an opportunity for Simon.
“Don’t blame yourself. You don’t have the ability to predict the future. You can’t predict
what will happen.”
Scarlet reached out and patted Stephen’s arm gently.
“I can only say that this is a bad fate…”
As soon as she finished speaking, Scarlet sighed heavily again…
When Zayla washed up, she felt a little pain in her legs.
She looked down and found that her calves and knees were bruised, which was obvious
on her fair skin.
There was a knock on the door.
“Ms. Vargas, I’m here to send you milk.”
In the past, as long as she was at home, Leroy would warm up the milk and send it to
her.
Zayla immediately rolled down her cuffs.
“Thank you, Leroy.” Zayla took the milk and gulped it down.
“Why are you so polite to me?” Leroy looked kindly at Zayla.
He suddenly thought of something important and immediately said, “The antiques have been counted. I have sent the documents to your email box.
“By the way, when I was cleaning the luggage today, I found a portable oxygen bottle.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Leroy immediately went to get the oxygen bottle and
handed it to Zayla.
Zayla was slightly stunned when she saw the oxygen bottle.
Lincoln’s deep voice sounded in her ears.
“Ms. Vargas, keep it.”
She didn’t expect that this thing would follow her to Houston.
Probably when Theodore was packing the luggage, he thought that it was Zayla’s stuff,
so he put it into the luggage…
Thinking of Lincoln, she remembered she still owed him a suit.
Leroy saw that Zayla was a little lost in thought. He called out, “Ms. Vargas?”
“It must be my dad who carelessly stuffed it in,” Zayla replied.
“Do you still want this oxygen bottle? If not, I’ll throw it away.”
