Corinne was only teasing him, but Zachary looked into her eyes and said,”


    Maybe I have.”


    Corinne was taken aback and looked at him skeptically. “Is it that easy for you to fall in love with


    someone? You’re such a jerk!”


    Zachary was speechless.


    Corinne seemed to be very stubborn.


    He lost his temper and pulled her into his arms. Though he could not move his legs, his upper body


    strength was not to be underestimated.


    Before Corinne could react, Zachary pulled her into hisp and clutched her waist tightly.


    “You’re very familiar to me, even though I don’t remember you. I wouldn’t describe what I feel now as


    love at first sight. It’s more like friends at first sight.


    But, I will admit that you intrigue me.’ Corinne struggled as hard as she could but was unable to free


    herself from his embrace. She eventually decided not to waste her energy struggling. She was not so


    much worried about being in close contact with him as she was about putting too much pressure on his


    already infirm legs. Then again, since he was already hugging her that tightly, it was more likely that he


    was not in any pain.


    “Okay, I believe you! Let go of me a little, will you? Your tight hug is getting a little ufortable…”


    He took in her faint scent and felt an even deeper sense of familiarity. He wanted to be closer to her


    and instinctively held her tighter as if he could not bear to let her go. “Don’t move. You can leave after


    letting me hug you for a while longer.”


    Corinne did not protest, but she asked, “Aren’t you afraid we might get caught?”


    “I locked the door,” Zachary replied.

    Corinne nced pensively at the door. “Won’t it be difficult for you to do your physiotherapy exercise


    now that Adam is here?” Zachary frowned. That had been one of his main worries at that moment. He


    had known that Adam woulde over, but he did not expect it to be sooner rather thanter.


    Corinne rubbed her chin in deep thought and finally said, “Don’t worry. I’m going to find a way to keep


    Adam and Sophia busy so you’ll have time to recover.”


    Zachary narrowed his eyes. “What are you going to do?”


    Corinne already has a n in mind. “You’ll know soon enough.”


    Zachary was worried, and he was about to ask her some more questions when he heard the doorknob


    turn.


    The two of them immediately became alert. Luckily for them, Zachary had the foresight to lock the door.


    Upon realizing that the door was locked, Sophia knocked on the door and said, “Zachary! It’s me! I


    brought you your medication!”


    Zachary answered calmly, “I’m already in bed. Just leave the medicine on the table outside. I’ll go get it


    when I get up.”


    This, of course, puzzled Sophia. “Why did you lock the door when there’s no one else in the suite?”


    “Because I took off my clothes.” “That shouldn’t be an issue, Zachary. I’m your wife, so you don’t need


    to be shy.”
