I Walked Away And He Lost His Mind (Zephyra and Steven) novel Chapter 749

I knew very well that Mr. and Mrs. Spencer wanted nothing to do with me.

Mrs. Spencer sighed helplessly, hesitating before she spoke. "Zephyra, I know things are over between you and Horace, and I shouldn't be here. But Horace... his leg is permanently damaged, and he…."

At this, Mrs. Spencer suddenly choked up.

She pulled out a tissue to dab at the corners of her eyes, then looked up at me and continued, "Ever since he woke up a few days ago, he's been demanding to see you. The doctor said he needs to rest and remain calm, so I hid his phone and forbade anyone from helping him with his wheelchair. But yesterday... he threatened to kill himself. He said if we didn't let him see you, he would…"

"I was at my wits' end. I had to calm him down and come find you. I'm begging you to see him."

Hearing that Horace had threatened suicide, my heart seized, my mind going blank. "Is Horace alright?"

Mrs. Spencer shook her head. "I finally managed to calm him down, and I came to find you today."

I knew Horace's temperament. He seemed gentle, but he was actually very strong-willed. Once he made up his mind, no one could change it.

Without a second thought, I said, "I'll go see him. Let's go now!"

I was planning to go anyway; I was just worried Mr. and Mrs. Spencer wouldn't approve.

I was about to stand up, but Mrs. Spencer grabbed my hand, her gaze shifting away from mine. "Zephyra…"

I looked at her, confused, and sat back down. "What is it?"

Mrs. Spencer lowered her head slightly, hesitating for a moment before saying, "I was thinking, could you maybe call Horace first? Tell him to cooperate with his treatment, and then you can see him once his condition improves."

I paused. Thinking it over, Horace really did need to focus on his recovery. I still had questions for him about my amnesia and my grandfather's accident, so now wasn't the right time to meet.

"Okay," I agreed readily.

Seeing my compliance, Mrs. Spencer continued, "Besides that, there's one more thing I'd like to ask of you."
