Chapter 661
As Zachary approached slowly, Sarah wanted to escape, but unfortunately, she had the will but not the ability.
The hillside was damp, making the dirt path slippery.
She had no strength to resist as he lifted her up in his arms. "Putdown, Zachary! Letgo!"
"You can't walk," he replied, carrying her with steady steps.
"Even if | can't walk, | don't need your help! Don't forget, you have a fiancée now!"
Zachary's eyes darkened. She really knew how to bring up the most uncomfortable topics.
The man had just been in a fight, and his clothes were somewhat disheveled, which only added to his wild
nature. His entire presence radiated a dangerous charm.
Sarah couldn't help stealing several glances at him. Though she kept telling herself not to fall for him, her
heartbeat still involuntarily lost its rhythm.
Back at the dormitory, Zachary carefully placed her on the bed and arranged the blankets for her.
Sarah frowned, staring at him as she voiced her suspicion. "I never told you this address. How did you know
where to find me?"
Zachary stiffened, a flash of panic quickly crossing his eyes.
Before he could think of an answer, Sarah concluded, "You followed me."
Zachary denied it immediately. "No, I didn't."
Sarah stared at him without blinking, trying to find signs of a lie in his expression. Caught off guard, Zachary
looked up at her helplessly. "Doesn't your foot hurt?"
Her expression changed at the mention of her injury.
Her swollen foot felt like it was being crushed by a large rock. It wasn't particularly painful, possibly because the
injury had numbed over time, but seeing how ugly it looked made her irritable.
Zachary, seeing her attention successfully diverted, silently exhaled in relief.
He turned around and continued searching for something.
Fortunately, factories like this always kept medical kits, and it didn't take him long to find one.
Zachary took out smedicinal oil and poured sinto his hands, rubbing them together to warm it up.
Seeing his actions, Sarah had a bad feeling and asked, "What are you doing?"
Zachary glanced up. "Your foot is swollen. | need to massage it first, then take you to the hospital downtown
tomorrow."

"No, that's not necessary," Sarah stammered in fear. "It doesn't hurt much. Let's forget about it-it's too much
trouble."
Zachary knew what she was thinking. He continued his preparations while speaking in a tone that allowed no
refusal. "No, you might not feel it now, but you'll
be in so much pain tomorrow you won't be able to speak."
Sarah was still afraid. Though she wasn't usually squeamish, she had seen
similar videos online where injured people screamed in agony.
While Zachary was focused on warming the oil, Sarah held her breath and carefully tried to scoot toward the foot
of the bed.
Unfortunately, before she could pull both feet back, Zachary grabbed the ankle of her injured foot.
Sarah instinctively struggled, making things worse as tears sprang to her eyes from the pain.
Zachary looked at her with a mixture of amusement and frustration. "That's what happens when you move
around."Chapter 662
Sarah was stunned into silence by his certainty.
When she finally recovered, her words carried hints of embarrassed anger. "Don't flatter yourself. I—Ahh!"
Her sentence transformed into a long, sharp cry before she could finish.
Zachary held her ankle firmly with one hand while quickly and efficiently spreading the medicinal oil over her
foot with the other.
Sarah's pain receptors fired, bringing tears streaming down her face. In retaliation, she grabbed Zachary's free
arm and bit down hard.
A vein throbbed visibly at Zachary's temple.
She really wasn't holding back.
Zachary had no doubt that his hand was bleeding from her bite.
By the tthey finished this time-consuming, energy-draining, and the whole "procedure," both Sarah and
Zachary had thin layers of sweat on their foreheads.
After applying the medicine, Zachary stood up and stumbled slightly.
His leg had gone numb from maintaining the sposition for too long.
Sarah opened her mouth and then closed it, swallowing the concerned words that had almost escaped.
"There's no window here. Poor air circulation. It's not good for your foot to heal here," Zachary concluded
seriously after walking around the room.
Sarah dismissed his concern. "Do you think we're in the city? These conditions are already quite good for the
countryside. I'm not that delicate."
"You should still stay at my place for a while," Zachary decided firmly.
Sarah: "7?"
She couldn't quite understand what he was saying.
Zachary didn't seem interested in seeking her consent. He simply asked, "Do you have anything you need to
bring?"
Sarah didn't know why she was angry, but she was furious. "Have you gone crazy? We have no relationship
whatsoever. I'm not staying at your place. I'm staying right here, not going anywhere."
Zachary's eyes darkened. "Your situation is special. Don't be childish."
Sarah took a deep breath, trying to
stay calm. "Zachary, don't forget,you
have a fiancee. We eed tokeep our

When he heard her trying to distance herself, Zachary's expression immediately darkened.
He decided to stop arguing with Sarah. In a few large strides, he reached her and swiftly picked her up.
Before Sarah could react, he skillfully restrained her body, leaving her with no way to use her strength.
And so, Zachary forced Sarah to temporarily move into his place.
Though she had been there once before, all the furniture had been replaced— almost everything was brand new.
"Where did all this furniture and bedding cfrom?" Sarah didn't believe
villagers would be so generous, and even if swere kind-hearted, they wouldn't have such nice things.

Sarah's mouth twitched several times, leaving her speechless.
"Are you hungry?" Zachary asked, trying to break the awkward atmosphere between them.
Sarah answered stiffly, "Not hungry."
As soon as she spoke, her stomach growled loudly.
The atmosphere suddenly froze.
Sarah's ears turned bright red with embarrassment, and when she heard the
man's suppressed laughter, the blush spread to her neck.
She wished she could dig a hole and disappear into it.
Sarah gritted her teeth in anger. This was all his fault.
"You know about my relationship with Charlie, don't you?" Zachary suddenly asked while Sarah was still anxious.
Sarah was taken aback, frowning in confusion. "Charlie, that scumbag? You have a connection with him?"
Zachary knew she was playing dumb.
