Chapter 54
Daphne’s body suddenly stiffened.
She thought. What exactly did he hear?‘
When did Zoya start calling him? I didn’t even notice it!‘
Cold sweat continuously poured from her palms.
Immediately after, her body stiffened as she saw Wren’s tall figure slowly emerging from behind a wall.

Zoya put away her phone and said to Wren, “Mr. Richmond, since you heard everything, I presume you won’t blame me for this, right?”
When Daphne stopped her earlier, she had a bad feeling, so she secretly called Wren.
It surprisingly worked and saved her from being framed.
“You deliberately tried to set me up!” Daphne’s originally beautiful features twisted.
“If you hadn’t tried to frame me, nothing would have happened,” Zoya said calmly.
Daphne rushed forward, trying to hit Zoya, but Wren stopped her. “You are not allowed to touch my people. Furthermore
Wren coldly gazed at Daphne’s left eye. “If you use your eye as leverage again, don’t blame me for not keeping my promise from back then.”
Daphne’s body stiffened. It was a while before she said, “I understand.”
Wren left with Zoya. Daphne stood rooted to the spot, staring fixedly at their retreating figures, her eyes filled with
resentment.
Back then, she almost lost an eye because of Wren. Later, Wren promised to have Wren’s family live a prosperous life.
She thought, ‘I have paid such a price just to get close to Wren. How can this random woman be so intimate with him?
‘I will never allow it!”
Zoya and Wren walked out of the restaurant.
They got into the car, and Wren suddenly said, “If I hadn’t answered your call just now, what would you have done?”
Zoya replied, “I would tell Ms. Lucero that if I wanted to hurt her, she wouldn’t be standing in front of me now!”
If the other person couldn’t be reasoned with, then Zoya believed force was the only option.
“Aren’t you afraid she’ll retaliate?” he asked.
“In life, if you’re afraid of everything, then living would be too exhausting,” Zoya said.
She wouldn’t actively cause trouble, but she wasn’t afraid of it.
“She’s from the Lucero family of Marabotara. Speaking of which, you both share the same surname. Is it a coincidence?” Wren said slowly.

Zoya paused, surprised. In Marabotara, if a family was referred to as “the Lucero family of Marabotara,” it only referred to one particular Lucero family:
It would be the one with a memorial hall located in the prime downtown area.
“It seems like it really is a coincidence, Zoya said.
In that case, Daphne would probably be considered her cousin..
She hadn’t returned to the Lucero family yet, but she already had a conflict with a cousin.
“Aren’t you going to ask what my relationship with Daphne is?” Wren asked.
Tm just a bodyguard,” Zoya replied.
In other words, whatever his relationship with Daphne was, it had nothing to do with her.
Besides, she didn’t want to get involved in such complicated relationships.
“If one day I have an episode again, aren’t you afraid I’ll gouge out your eyes too? I am no longer a weak 8–year–old child.”
“I am not Daphne,” Zoya said, “If that day truly comes, I will knock you out with a stick so you can’t harm anyone.”
A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, as if he hadn’t expected her to give such an answer.
He thought, ‘How interesting. This only makes me more reluctant to leave her.
‘After 3 months, will my interest in her really disappear? I am no longer so sure.
When the car stopped. Zoya realized it had driven to the hospital.
“Let the doctor check your injuries first. You took quite a beating at the airport earlier,” Wren said.
Zoya didn’t refuse. She had planned to make time to come to the hospital for some medication anyway.
To her surprise, Wren kept following her to the hospital lobby’s registration area.
“Aren’t you going back to your hotel room, Mr. Richmond?” she asked.
“Since you’re my bodyguard, of course I’ll stay with you,” he replied.
She was speechless as he thought, ‘Fine, whatever!
Zoya registered and came to the hospital’s surgical outpatient clinic.
When it was Zoya’s turn, she entered the consulting room and explained how she had been beaten and the location of her injuries.
Hearing this, the doctor said, “Take off your shoes, lie down on the bed, and I’ll take a look!”
In the consulting room, there was an examination bed specifically for checking patients‘ conditions.
Zoya prepared to bend down to take off her shoes.
As soon as she bent down, she immediately gasped, feeling a sharp pain in her waist and abdomen, which was where she had been hit by security personnel at the airport.
“Does it hurt? Then have your husband help you take off your shoes,” the doctor said..
“Husband?” Zoya was stunned, then saw the doctor’s gaze fixed on Wren, who was standing beside her.
