Linda’s gaze at William was no icy it made his heart ache
“Zack. I need to test,” she said, feeling weak and as if she roight collapse at any moment. The chill that enveloped her body reminded her of four years ago–the same piercing cold she felt when she lost her

She believed she had become strong over the years, but now, she was just as vulnerable as ever She Temained constantly reliant on her family.
Seeing how pale she looked, Zack quickly called Julie to help Linda to the room. William tried to follow, but Zack blocked his way.
“Mr. Wilson, Linda has finally put her life back together. Please let her go in recognition of the help Felix Group extended to Wilson Group back in the day. She’s truly exhausted.
“I’ve watched Linda blossom. Her parents had always treasured her. Maybe her only fault was believing the hollow promises you made in your youth. Linda understands, deep down, that she’s the one who brought this on herself.

“Sure,” Linda replied, then asked, “So, you’re not planning to return to the company after all?”
Zack shook his head. “I’ve lost the enthusiasm I once had. These days, I’m looking for a simpler life.”
Linda respected his cholpe. “No problem. Felix Group will always be open to having you back.”
“Thanks. I’ll let you know if I decide to return.”

Julie turned to Linda. “Linda, make sure you take care of yourself.”
Linda nodded. She’d always been weak since she was a child, and after her miscarriage, she hadn’t fully
