I Walked Away And He Lost His Mind (Zephyra and Steven) novel Chapter 648

I was shocked to be suddenly embraced by a stranger.

I was about to push him away when I realized, to my astonishment, that he knew my name. He had been looking for me.

Who was he?

I struggled a bit, trying to break free, but his grip was too strong. He held me so tightly it felt as if he wanted to fuse me into his very bones.

I felt uncomfortable and whispered, "Hey, let's talk this out calmly. Can you let me go first? I... I can barely breathe."

Horace immediately released me and pulled down the black mask hiding his face, revealing a strikingly handsome countenance.

"You're okay. That's wonderful," he said, his gaze fixed on me, scanning me from head to toe. The corners of his long, narrow eyes were tinged with red, full of heartache. He reached out and gently caressed my cheek. "You've lost so much weight. You must have been through a lot."

I froze, staring blankly at the young man before me, not even resisting his touch.

It was strange. Normally, if someone touched me, I'd probably jump up and hit them. But with this man, I felt no aversion at all.

He was very handsome, in a completely different way than Steven.

Steven was the quintessential aristocrat, exuding a noble air. Every gesture was a model of elegance. He was handsome, but his facial features were sharp and defined. He rarely smiled and clearly looked like someone in a position of power, with an imposing presence.

But this man was different. He was gentle and refined, with a scholarly and harmonious temperament. His every word and action felt like a soft spring breeze, completely harmless. His features were exquisite—he was the very picture of a refined gentleman.

His eyes were filled with nothing but me.

A strange feeling sparked through my heart.

"You..."

Before I could finish, a middle-aged, slightly overweight man popped out from beside him, his eyes wide with joy as he interrupted me.

"Ms. Jones, you really are a lucky one! My goodness, so many people died when that bridge collapsed, and the other survivors are still badly injured, just out of the ICU. But you... you're completely unharmed! Surviving a disaster like that means good things are coming your way!"
