Jesslyn, let’s not cause a scene here,” Zacharias urged.
“I was so worried. After such a big incident, you didn’t even tell me!” The girl complained. She just noticed Zacharias injured arm
and took a step back. “Are you seriously hurt?”
“I’m not dead,” he replied. Then, he glanced at Shirley, who was silently observing. He cleared his throat. and said, “Her name is
Jesslyn Kurt, and she’s my friend
“What friend? I’m your girlfriend.” Jesslyn protested a bit too loudly. She looked at Shirley with a hint of arrogance, wanting to
establish her position against this attractive female bodyguard. She pondered, Since when did he hire such a beautiful female
bodyguard? I had no idea.
Shirley smiled and greeted, “Miss Kurt, hello.”
“Could you please step out? We need some privacy,” Jesslyn said to Shirley.
Shirley was more than willing to give them their privacy. She nodded and turned, opening the door before leaving.
Zacharias gaze followed Shirley’s retreating figure. There was a hint of complexity in the depths of his profound eyes.
Jesslyn assisted him, saying, “Let me help you back to bed.”
He scolded her, “Jesslyn, stop acting out of place in front of me.”
She looked at him with some grievance. “I’m not.”
“From now on, never mention that you’re my girlfriend. You grew up in my house, so you’re my Zacharias clarified their
relationship. sister.”
“But we have no blood relation! I’m not your adopted sister, either. I just grew up in your house. We’re like childhood
sweethearts. I refuse to be your sister, Jesslyn retorted.
He couldn’t do much about her. In his heart, she was simply a sisterly figure. However, she didn’t accept this identity. He hadn’t
made it clear before, but today, he realized how important it was to define this relationship. At least it would prevent
misunderstandings from arising.

Meanwhile, Shirley sat outside the corridor, closing her eyes to rest. Her mind, however, couldn’t help but ponder Jesslyn’s
intimate hug with the man just now. She pondered, What’s the nature of their relationship for them to be so close? Is this girl his
girlfriend, perhaps? At this thought, she recalled his actions toward her these past few days.

personal life.
Inside. 15 minutes had passed since Jesslyn entered. Shirley was thinking of using this time to take a short break Just then, her
phone beeped, and she picked it up to see a message from him. It contained only two
words “Come in”
She got up and entered the room Zacharias was sitting on the bed while Jesslyn looked at her in surprise “What are you coming
in for? Didn’t I say we needed some privacy?”
Shirley clearly didn’t follow Jesslyn’s orders. She approached him and asked, ‘Is there anything you need, Mr. Flintstone?”
“Send Jesslyn to the hospital entrance for me,” Zacharias said.
Shirley was momentarily surprised and wondered, Didn’t this woman just arrive?
“I don’t want to go home. Zacharias, I want to stay here and take care of you,” Jesslyn insisted. She had made numerous calls
just to get a glimpse of him..
“Jesslyn, listen to me. It’s not appropriate for you to visit me right now,” he said.
“Why? I worked so hard to get in, and you want me to leave after just a few minutes?” Her eyes welled up with tears.
Zacharias glanced at Shirley, signaling her to make sure Jesslyn left.
Shirley had no choice. She turned to Jesslyn with a stern expression. “Miss Kurt, Mr. Flintstone has a special situation right now
and needs to rest. Let me take you back.”
“I don’t want to. I want to stay.” Jesslyn insisted on staying to take care of him.
“Jesslyn, listen to me,” Zacharias said sternly.
