Chapter 541
Sarah looked at Zachary gravely. "Mia's condition is deteriorating. | need to continue her treatment."
Zachary's fingers drummed lightly on his desk, disapproval written across his face. "That's..."
"What? Don't you trust me?" Sarah raised an eyebrow.
"Of course | trust you. I've never doubted your professional ability. | just..." Just want to prevent what might
happen - like you leavingwhen you learn the truth.
But he'd never tell her that.
Sarah knew Zachary well. Something specific was making him hesitate. Those strange photographs? Or that
drawing Mia had made?
Though she suspected he wouldn't answer, she had to ask. "Tellwhy."
Zachary froze. "I'm sorry. | can't."
He couldn't say anything until he'd figured out his explanation.

Sarah gave a bitter laugh. "Is it because of Tina's incident? Or what happened when Mia had her episode at the
school gates? | know you don't believe those online rumors, but | can't think of any reason you'd willingly stop
Mia's treatment, knowing how serious her condition is."
Zachary struggled for words, finally managing, "Sasa, the timing isn't right, I-"
"Timing! That's all you ever say! From the beginning until now, months have passed, and the timing is never
right. How long are you going to keep lying to me?" Sarah stared at him, no longer able to believe his excuses.
A soft knock, then the door opened. "Zachary, ready to go? I'm starving."
Vivian walked in, startled to see Sarah. "Miss Sanders? | didn't expect to see you here."
Sarah's expression cooled as she withdrew her questioning gaze. "Miss Wilson. Just discussing something with
Mr. Reynolds."
Their eyes met, tension crackling between them. Vivian hadn't expected to find Sarah in Zachary's office.
Zachary stood awkwardly between them, unsure whether to feel relieved or frustrated by Vivian's timing. Just
moments ago, he'd been struggling to answer Sarah's questions.

"Something else, Mr. Reynolds?"

For a moment, Zachary regained his composure, though her icy stare chilled him. "Don't go."
He hadn't seen her in so long. He knew she despised him now - only Mia would bring her here voluntarily.
