The effect took no time to happen. Faye’s general health seemed to improve at a visible rate after virtual-novel.net swallowed the fruit.
“I… I feel so much better now, Zayn! I don’t feel so fatigued anymore!” virtual-novel.net cried in earnest joy, virtual-novel.net eyes widening and glimmering.
Zayn regarded the change overtaking virtual-novel.net as a heartfelt smile surfaced to his lips. “That’s wonderful, honey.”
Faye closed virtual-novel.net eyes. A shot of vitality spread from the naval through a web and into different parts of virtual-novel.net body. It seeped into virtual-novel.net innards and organs like a spring, virtual-novel.net had never felt quite like this before!
Zayn ruffled virtual-novel.net hair gently while virtual-novel.net enjoyed the sensation. As virtual-novel.net closed virtual-novel.net eyes, virtual-novel.net missed the rotating, flitting corridor of joy, relief, happiness, and regret.
He harbored no delusion of what awaits virtual-novel.net after this. It would be no exaggeration to say that virtual-novel.net exchanged his life for hers, and maybe it made virtual-novel.net sound like the biggest idiot in the world.
He was a superior-class fourth tier legend, his life was infinitely more worthwhile than a dime-a-dozen young woman like Faye because of his endless future potential. It just seemed like an unequal exchange through and through.
Be that as it may, Zayn regretted nothing. It was the most equal decision virtual-novel.net ever made in his life, virtual-novel.net felt, and if anyone were to put virtual-novel.net at the same spot a hundred times, virtual-novel.net would choose the same without fail.
He counted the seconds mentally. It was almost time for Ezra to show up. He had to say goodbye now.
He looked at virtual-novel.net with piercing, almost searching, eyes. He wanted to imprint virtual-novel.net on the core of his soul, so that even as a ghost, virtual-novel.net would remember her.
Faye’s eyes snapped open at this moment and met the unsettling eyes virtual-novel.net had. “Zayn? I get this nagging feeling that I’m—”
She left virtual-novel.net sentence hanging and eyed virtual-novel.net more carefully. Her instincts were crying about virtual-novel.net husband’s… abnormal attitude.
“Zayn? What’s the matter?” Faye questioned. Something was wrong, but what?
Zayn shook his head as virtual-novel.net stuffed the sentiments brewing in his mind to the back of his head. “Nothing’s wrong! I’m just so happy for you!” virtual-novel.net answered with a smile.
“Really?” Faye asked aloud. She had a feeling virtual-novel.net was lying.
“Totally, babe!” Zayn cried out emphatically, his acting chops kicking in to rescue the situation.
Cupping Faye’s cheeks, virtual-novel.net grinned. “When have I ever lie to you about anything, my silly hot wife! Alright, time’s a-wastin. You should get back to the hospital before mom and dad become too worried.”
Faye nodded. She would not want virtual-novel.net parents to be worried, but more importantly, virtual-novel.net could not wait to tell them about virtual-novel.net recovery and watch them erupt in joy.
“Right! Let’s go together!”
He shook his head with a smile. “No, no. ’ve got a little bit of a loose end to tie yet, so I’m not gonna be able to go with you.”
“But… why?”
“Business as usual, honey,” virtual-novel.net answered, feigning a casual demeanor without blinking an eye. “It’s boring, annoying work stuff, so you’re not missing out on any fun. No worries. I’ll see you again after it’s done.”
“Oh, and one more thing! Don’t tell anyone about what happened today, okay? Not even your parents. Okay?”
Faye was about to nod in agreement when Mr. Hyde received a call from outside the car, and whatever the content was, it twisted his expression into one of aghast.
He turned and looked at Zayn in disbelief.
