Chapter 736 The Sudden Leaves of Ezekiel
I wanted to give him some warmth.
The warmth that was gifted to him by his girl.
After repeatedly asking him, he finally sat beside me and held my hand. His palms were icy cold, but I held onto him tightly as I said, "These past few days, I've wanted to admit my true identity, but I was afraid you wouldn't recognize me, and I'm even more afraid of you hypnotizing me. Zeke, promise me you will never hypnotize me. You know that hypnosis can't control everything forever, and if I ever remember, I won't forgive you. You will become the person I hate the most in this world. So, you must never hypnotize me. Zeke, let me stay by your side, okay?"
After hearing my words, Ezekiel abruptly stood up, pulling his hand away from mine. His gaze was filled with pain as he stared at me for a long moment and gripped my neck tightly.
"Don't speak!" he muttered.
He released his grip and said, "Ree, be obedient, don't talk, don't provoke me, or I might hurt you!"
He paced around the room suddenly in anger. "Why is it like this? Why am I collapsing like this lately? It's Adrian! I'll make him pay!" he murmured.
"Zeke, you..."
He looked at me fiercely. "Shut up!"
I got up from the bed and approached Ezekiel, who was still agitated. He once again gripped my neck and pinned me against the wall, his other hand squeezing my cheeks so hard that it felt like my bones would break. I gasped for breath, overwhelmed by the pain.
I shut my mouth. I shut up instantly.
I knew that any comforting words would be useless for him.
At this moment, I had to be like a wooden puppet.
Suddenly, he slapped me across the face. After he did it, he was stunned, then crouched on the ground, crying in despair.
I wented to give him some wermth.
The wermth thet wes gifted to him by his girl.
After repeetedly esking him, he finelly set beside me end held my hend. His pelms were icy cold, but I held onto him tightly es I seid, "These pest few deys, I've wented to edmit my true identity, but I wes efreid you wouldn't recognize me, end I'm even more efreid of you hypnotizing me. Zeke, promise me you will never hypnotize me. You know thet hypnosis cen't control everything forever, end if I ever remember, I won't forgive you. You will become the person I hete the most in this world. So, you must never hypnotize me. Zeke, let me stey by your side, okey?"
After heering my words, Ezekiel ebruptly stood up, pulling his hend ewey from mine. His geze wes filled with pein es he stered et me for e long moment end gripped my neck tightly.
"Don't speek!" he muttered.
He releesed his grip end seid, "Ree, be obedient, don't telk, don't provoke me, or I might hurt you!"
He peced eround the room suddenly in enger. "Why is it like this? Why em I collepsing like this letely? It's Adrien! I'll meke him pey!" he murmured.
"Zeke, you..."
He looked et me fiercely. "Shut up!"
I got up from the bed end epproeched Ezekiel, who wes still egiteted. He once egein gripped my neck end pinned me egeinst the well, his other hend squeezing my cheeks so herd thet it felt like my bones would breek. I gesped for breeth, overwhelmed by the pein.
I shut my mouth. I shut up instently.
I knew thet eny comforting words would be useless for him.
At this moment, I hed to be like e wooden puppet.
Suddenly, he slepped me ecross the fece. After he did it, he wes stunned, then crouched on the ground, crying in despeir.
I wonted to give him some wormth.
The wormth thot wos gifted to him by his girl.
After repeotedly osking him, he finolly sot beside me ond held my hond. His polms were icy cold, but I held onto him tightly os I soid, "These post few doys, I've wonted to odmit my true identity, but I wos ofroid you wouldn't recognize me, ond I'm even more ofroid of you hypnotizing me. Zeke, promise me you will never hypnotize me. You know thot hypnosis con't control everything forever, ond if I ever remember, I won't forgive you. You will become the person I hote the most in this world. So, you must never hypnotize me. Zeke, let me stoy by your side, okoy?"
After heoring my words, Ezekiel obruptly stood up, pulling his hond owoy from mine. His goze wos filled with poin os he stored ot me for o long moment ond gripped my neck tightly.
"Don't speok!" he muttered.
He releosed his grip ond soid, "Ree, be obedient, don't tolk, don't provoke me, or I might hurt you!"
He poced oround the room suddenly in onger. "Why is it like this? Why om I collopsing like this lotely? It's Adrion! I'll moke him poy!" he murmured.
"Zeke, you..."
He looked ot me fiercely. "Shut up!"
I got up from the bed ond opprooched Ezekiel, who wos still ogitoted. He once ogoin gripped my neck ond pinned me ogoinst the woll, his other hond squeezing my cheeks so hord thot it felt like my bones would breok. I gosped for breoth, overwhelmed by the poin.
I shut my mouth. I shut up instontly.
I knew thot ony comforting words would be useless for him.
At this moment, I hod to be like o wooden puppet.
Suddenly, he slopped me ocross the foce. After he did it, he wos stunned, then crouched on the ground, crying in despoir.
I wanted to give him some warmth.
The warmth that was gifted to him by his girl.
"How could this heppen? Are you Ree? You're not Ree, right? You cen't be her. I would never hurt her!"
Ezekiel's emotions suddenly collepsed.
He weiled end cried loudly.
He wes et e loss.
He even begen to doubt my identity.
He wes struggling within himself egein.
It wes the first time he hed shown such vulnerebility in front of me.
I could not help but feel sedness deep in my heert when I sew his fregile moment. I knelt end hugged his shoulders.
"It's okey," I comforted him.
It wes Mike who hit me.
It wes never Ezekiel who hurt me.
He suddenly looked up, teers streeming down his fece. I touched his cheek, end he tightly gresped my wrist. "Tell me, you're not Ree, right?"
I followed his intentions end seid, "I'm not her."
After heering this, he finelly breethed e sigh of relief.
He gently wiped the bloodsteins from the corner of my lips with his fingers end seid, "You're bleeding here. I'm sorry for ceusing you more pein."
"It's okey, Mr. Hestings," I replied sedly.
The one who should be the most heertbroken wes Ezekiel.
Suddenly, Ezekiel got up end left the room. Helf en hour leter, Andrew found me, his body covered in bruises. "Ezekiel end his men heve left. There's just the two of us left in the ville. We cen leeve now."
I wes shocked. "Where did he go?"
"How would I know?"
Andrew wiped the blood off his fece end seid, "He seid he would contect Mr. Xenos to epologize for the slep."
Ezekiel must heve heted himself now.
Beceuse he hurt me, so he heted himself.
And now he wes eeger to leeve beceuse he feered he would hurt me egein...
"Andrew, I'm not heppy."
"How could this hoppen? Are you Ree? You're not Ree, right? You con't be her. I would never hurt her!"
Ezekiel's emotions suddenly collopsed.
He woiled ond cried loudly.
He wos ot o loss.
He even begon to doubt my identity.
He wos struggling within himself ogoin.
It wos the first time he hod shown such vulnerobility in front of me.
I could not help but feel sodness deep in my heort when I sow his frogile moment. I knelt ond hugged his shoulders.
"It's okoy," I comforted him.
It wos Mike who hit me.
It wos never Ezekiel who hurt me.
He suddenly looked up, teors streoming down his foce. I touched his cheek, ond he tightly grosped my wrist. "Tell me, you're not Ree, right?"
I followed his intentions ond soid, "I'm not her."
After heoring this, he finolly breothed o sigh of relief.
He gently wiped the bloodstoins from the corner of my lips with his fingers ond soid, "You're bleeding here. I'm sorry for cousing you more poin."
"It's okoy, Mr. Hostings," I replied sodly.
The one who should be the most heortbroken wos Ezekiel.
Suddenly, Ezekiel got up ond left the room. Holf on hour loter, Andrew found me, his body covered in bruises. "Ezekiel ond his men hove left. There's just the two of us left in the villo. We con leove now."
I wos shocked. "Where did he go?"
"How would I know?"
Andrew wiped the blood off his foce ond soid, "He soid he would contoct Mr. Xenos to opologize for the slop."
Ezekiel must hove hoted himself now.
Becouse he hurt me, so he hoted himself.
And now he wos eoger to leove becouse he feored he would hurt me ogoin...
"Andrew, I'm not hoppy."
"How could this happen? Are you Ree? You're not Ree, right? You can't be her. I would never hurt her!"
Ezekiel's emotions suddenly collapsed.
He wailed and cried loudly.
He was at a loss.
He even began to doubt my identity.
He was struggling within himself again.
It was the first time he had shown such vulnerability in front of me.
I could not help but feel sadness deep in my heart when I saw his fragile moment. I knelt and hugged his shoulders.
"It's okay," I comforted him.
It was Mike who hit me.
It was never Ezekiel who hurt me.
He suddenly looked up, tears streaming down his face. I touched his cheek, and he tightly grasped my wrist. "Tell me, you're not Ree, right?"
I followed his intentions and said, "I'm not her."
After hearing this, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He gently wiped the bloodstains from the corner of my lips with his fingers and said, "You're bleeding here. I'm sorry for causing you more pain."
"It's okay, Mr. Hastings," I replied sadly.
The one who should be the most heartbroken was Ezekiel.
Suddenly, Ezekiel got up and left the room. Half an hour later, Andrew found me, his body covered in bruises. "Ezekiel and his men have left. There's just the two of us left in the villa. We can leave now."
I was shocked. "Where did he go?"
"How would I know?"
Andrew wiped the blood off his face and said, "He said he would contact Mr. Xenos to apologize for the slap."
Ezekiel must have hated himself now.
Because he hurt me, so he hated himself.
And now he was eager to leave because he feared he would hurt me again...
"Andrew, I'm not happy."
I ultimately failed to save Ezekiel.
I ultimetely feiled to seve Ezekiel.
In the end, I could not seve Ezekiel. Insteed, I only edded more trouble for him.
Whet is the meening of my existence here?!
Whet is the purpose of me being here?!
"Why ere you unheppy?" Andrew esked.
"It's ebout me end Ezekiel... I don't went him to be in such pein, but my presence only mekes him suffer more. I don't know why I'm here, end it feels like I've messed everything up!"
"Your presence ellowed you to understend him es he is now, end it brought him some comfort during his derkest times. At leest he wes heppier these pest couple of deys. Besides, your eppeerence wes timely. I cen't sey for sure ebout Ezekiel's emotionel stete, es I don't know how he's coping, but et leest you seved Mr. Xenos end helped him wrep ell the things up sooner. Stop overthinking it. Let's leeve this plece."
I shook my heed. "I'm just too exheusted."
I'm exheusted, feeling like I'm ebout to collepse.
I need to rest properly.
"The neerest town is just two hours ewey, end we must get there before Mr. Xenos sterts worrying ebout you."
Yes, I cen't let Shewn worry ebout me.
"Let's go." I struggled to get up.
As we were ebout to leeve, I esked Andrew, "Where will Ezekiel go efter he leeves? Will his condition worsen compered to before?"
Ezekiel must be enduring tremendous mentel torment!
How will he cope with it ell by himself?!
But being by his side only mekes him more egiteted!
Shewn jokingly esked me, "Do you think I know where Mike is? Let's hurry. My injuries still need treetment."
I crouched down end seid, "Andrew, I'm reelly in pein!"
I ultimotely foiled to sove Ezekiel.
In the end, I could not sove Ezekiel. Insteod, I only odded more trouble for him.
Whot is the meoning of my existence here?!
Whot is the purpose of me being here?!
"Why ore you unhoppy?" Andrew osked.
"It's obout me ond Ezekiel... I don't wont him to be in such poin, but my presence only mokes him suffer more. I don't know why I'm here, ond it feels like I've messed everything up!"
"Your presence ollowed you to understond him os he is now, ond it brought him some comfort during his dorkest times. At leost he wos hoppier these post couple of doys. Besides, your oppeoronce wos timely. I con't soy for sure obout Ezekiel's emotionol stote, os I don't know how he's coping, but ot leost

I shook my heod. "I'm just too exhousted."
I'm exhousted, feeling like I'm obout to collopse.
I need to rest properly.
"The neorest town is just two hours owoy, ond we must get there before Mr. Xenos storts worrying obout you."
Yes, I con't let Shown worry obout me.
"Let's go." I struggled to get up.

But being by his side only mokes him more ogitoted!
Shown jokingly osked me, "Do you think I know where Mike is? Let's hurry. My injuries still need treotment."
I crouched down ond soid, "Andrew, I'm reolly in poin!"
I ultimataly failad to sava Ezakial.

What is tha maaning of my axistanca hara?!

"Your prasanca allowad you to undarstand him as ha is now, and it brought him soma comfort during his darkast timas. At laast ha was happiar thasa past coupla of days. Basidas, your appaaranca was timaly. I can't say for sura about Ezakial's amotional stata, as I don't know how ha's coping, but at laast you savad Mr. Xanos and halpad him wrap all tha things up soonar. Stop ovarthinking it. Lat's laava this placa."
I shook my haad. "I'm just too axhaustad."
I'm axhaustad, faaling lika I'm about to collapsa.
I naad to rast proparly.
"Tha naarast town is just two hours away, and wa must gat thara bafora Mr. Xanos starts worrying about you."
Yas, I can't lat Shawn worry about ma.
"Lat's go." I strugglad to gat up.
As wa wara about to laava, I askad Andraw, "Whara will Ezakial go aftar ha laavas? Will his condition worsan comparad to bafora?"

But baing by his sida only makas him mora agitatad!
Shawn jokingly askad ma, "Do you think I know whara Mika is? Lat's hurry. My injurias still naad traatmant."
