Even though Zion was friends with Zachary, he couldn't stand the way Zachary pretended to be the devoted man whilst simultaneously juggling multiple women.
Zion couldn't agree more when people said that men were born actors.
Zachary might not have been acting this way out of love for Tessa. He was probably just putting on a show, trying to use her sympathy to win her back.
As for Wendy, Zion had nothing but contempt for her.
Back then, she knew full well that Zachary was Tessa's boyfriend, yet she still shamelessly clung to him.
She played the mistress on purpose, so it wasn't like she was any better.
With that thought in mind, Zion had no trouble speaking his mind. If he could make Wendy jealous and uncomfortable, then why not? She had it coming anyway.
Zion said calmly, "He's probably doing this because of Tessa. You know how it is—Tessa has a fiancé now, and they really love each other. Zachary just can't accept it.
"I have no idea what got into him last night, but he suddenly wandered around outside for hours like a madman. Then, he collapsed."
He let out a dramatic sigh, pretending to be heartbroken. "Can you believe it? He almost died! If a passing driver hadn't spotted him and rushed him to the hospital, we would've lost him for good."
As Zion spoke, he sneaked a glance at Wendy's expression.
Her face went completely pale, and she murmured, "Because of Tessa?"
Zion sighed. "Yeah. Don't you think he's just being ridiculous? He only realized what he had after he lost it."
Wendy was so furious that her whole body shook. Her voice rose as she snapped, "Are you telling me he was throwing his life away for Tessa?"
A nurse walking by shot her a disapproving look. "Miss, this is a hospital. Please keep your voice down."
Wendy's pale face flushed red with anger. She shoved the ward door open. "Zachary, what the hell are you up to?"
With that, the sound of things crashing echoed through the ward.
Wendy watched as Zachary lost control. Her eyes turned red, but she sneered. "Pathetic."
Without another word, she turned and walked away. When she opened the door again, she found Zion standing outside.
Their eyes met, and Zion scratched his nose awkwardly. "I-I left something inside. Just came back to grab it."
Wendy ignored him, lowering her head and walking away.
Zion peeked into the ward through the open door.
The place was a mess. It looked like Zachary had really lost it.

The readers' comments on the novel: His Unveiled Passion
I know this isn’t Stephen’s fault but I still hated how he was so careless around this bitch even after Tessa already told him it’s obvious that this bitch likes him and she looked at Tessa with hostility. If Tessa breaks up with him again, I’ll even support her. Ugh. Good luck on winning Tessa back again, Stephen. Tss. I so hate these updates....
Nooooo! Not again! We don't need a twist like this. Is it too hard for the writer to conclude with..."and they live happily ever after"?...
Finally getting Stephen and Tess back together then to tear them apart with foolishness. This is craziness...
Yuhohoooo!!! Finally!!!...
Aaand~ Tessa and Stephen are finally back together! Yaaaaay!...
Why make an uninteresting, irrelevant twist when readers are waiting for Tess and Stephen to be together?...
Gosh just let Tessa and Stephen get back together already! Ugh...
Oh my god, when is this book finishing... they're not even back together yet and more nonsense side plots.....
Whoa! Hahahahahaha! Go, Sophia! Burn, stupid Rowena! Lol...
Sooo~ Chapters 310-318 were just a repeat of Jacqueline’s punishment, official expulsion from the Jacobson family, and arrest. With few changes since Tessa and Stephen are not together this time. So Tessa didn’t witness how Jacqueline was tortured at Stephen’s base, though at least Tessa was still called over and witnessed how Stephen officially expelled Jacqueline from the Jacobson family and how Stephen’s subordinate made Jacqueline grovel in front of Tessa. Lol. I hope Jacqueline’s really out of the story now....
