Before Weston left, he gave Ben a look.
Catching his cue, Ben arranged for someone to take care of Stella, and have them report to Weston
once she wakes up.
Meanwhile, Guinevere was still on the other end of the call, and her tone softened considerably when
she heard Ben’s voice. “I won’t imposé since you’re working.”
“Okay,” Weston replied. “Tell me when Zack recovers.” “Okay.”
Weston hung up right after that, and Guinevere listened to the beeping tone after the call was
cut off, before calling Xavier. She had actually wanted to call Henry Moore—which used to be her first
reaction to everything in the past, since he would help her no matter what it is. In fact, she was used to
Henry agreeing to whatever she asked no matter the time and place, which was why she thought
nothing of Henry getting into a relationship with another woman.
However, Henry was currently wheelchair-bound, which meant Guinevere had to go to someone else,
and Xavier was one of them, since she saw him return in the morning.
Still, Xavier appeared a little impatient when he answered her call. “Why are you asking me? Are you
chauffeurs and maids all there just for show?”
Nonetheless, he stopped ranting the instant he heard that it was Zack who needed a trip to the
hospital. “Fine. Wait up front, I’ll be there to pick you up.” In the end, Zack was a child of the Ford
family, and once he hung up, Xavier quickly picked up his car keys and rushed to Ford Mansion. It was
basically in the neighborhood, and having told Guinvere to carry little Zack outside the front gates, he
drove straight to the hospital after they got in.
Guinevere, however, frowned when she saw that he was not driving to the private hospital she
frequented. “Where are you going?”
“To the hospital.”
“But we’re not going in the right direction to–” “I’m driving. I will decide on which hospital we’re going
to.”
Guinevere was upset about that, but the edge in Xavier’s voice kept her quiet.
However, if Xavier were to be honest, he had no idea what he was doing either-he had set aside work
the instant he heard that he needed to give them a ride to the hospital. Still, he remembered how
repulsed Zeta Taylor was with him the other day, and despite feeling a little uncomfortable about that,
he drove to her hospital anyway.
While Guinevere carried Zack upstairs to the pediatrics department, he was settling the bill for them.
Then, after hovering for a while, he somehow ended up outside Zeta’s office. She happened to be
taking a break, and was napping over her desk.
She also left the door ajar, and Xavier stood outside, looking in through the gap. However, when Xavier
was about to enter, a man suddenly appeared out of nowhere. Walking up to Zeta, he took off his coat
and put it over her shoulders. He must be a doctor in this hospital as well, and he appeared more
mature despite looking the same age as Zeta.
There was a vague tenderness in his eyes as he watched Zeta as well. Even if they were completely
different, it was obvious what that gaze conveyed since Xavier was a man himself.
Snickering but unsure as to what he was laughing about, Xavier turned to leave.

Stella felt like she had been sleeping for a while, and did not even remember when she had fallen
asleep.
All she remembered was being lightheaded in the car, before waking up to an unfamiliar place. It took
her a while to come to her senses and realize that she was in a breakroom.
