My Love for You Broke Me

Chapter 731

Chapter 731 Zeke

After Ezekiel finished vomiting, he returned to the car, visibly exhausted. As he settled back into the car, he placed his head on my lap. This surprised me, as he had been keeping his distance from me lately and didn't even allow my touch while dressing. But now, he lay on my lap, his eyes closed, seeking rest.

Looking at his handsome yet tired face, I couldn't bring myself to push him away, especially considering my current status, I didn't have the right to do so.

The drive continued, and after nine hours, we arrived at the border. The driver asked Ezekiel, "Mr. Hastings, where to next?"

We had been in the car for a full nine hours without eating anything, and considering my aversion to long rides, these nine hours were torturous for me. My stomach churned with nausea, yet I held it in. When the driver suddenly stopped the car, I quickly pushed Ezekiel away and got out of the car to vomit.

A pair of black leather shoes suddenly appeared beside me. I wiped the corners of my mouth and looked up to see Ezekiel. His silent gaze fixed on me. I apologized, saying, "I'm sorry, Mr. Hastings. The long ride made me feel sick. Besides, I haven't eaten anything all day."

After a long pause, he asked me, "Are you hungry?"

I shook my head. "My stomach feels upset."

Ezekiel crouched down to my eye level, and I quickly said to him, "Mr. Hastings, please stand up. I just vomited, and it's dirty."

He replied with a gentle voice, "It's okay."

I pursed my lips and heard him ask, "Ree, let me take you to a beautiful place, okay? A place where there will only be us and Andrew." Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

"Where is that, Mr. Hastings?" I asked.

"Please endure for another five hours, Ree."

He didn't say where we were going.

He just asked me to endure for another five hours.

I couldn't oppose his decision.

Anyway, it wouldn't make a difference even if I did.

Furthermore, with my current position, I simply couldn't afford to go against him.

Reluctantly, I got back into the car, and the journey continued. My condition was terrible, worse than Ezekiel's. During the remaining hours, my consciousness drifted in and out as I yearned to reach our destination quickly.

I didn't know what time it was when the car finally stopped. The sky outside remained pitch-black, devoid of even a trace of moonlight. I bent over, feeling weak and exhausted as I heard Ezekiel instructing Andrew, "Carry her to the second floor of the villa. There are clothes for her to change into."

Andrew replied, "Yes, Mike."

My body felt weak as Andrew opened the car door and carried me in his arms. My stomach churned with nausea, and I felt deeply uncomfortable. I wiped away tears with the back of my hand and asked Andrew, "Where are we? Andrew, I feel so uncomfortable. I feel like I'm dying."

"You're just experiencing motion sickness from the long ride."

I muttered, "It's all his fault."

It was all Ezekiel's fault for bringing me here.

In a cold tone, someone asked, "Whose fault?"

I murmured in a daze, "Zeke..."

"What did you call me?"

I closed my eyes and said, "I'm so cold."

"Andrew, hand her over to me."

I seemed to have fallen into another person's embrace. This embrace felt particularly unfamiliar to me, yet strangely comforting.

I clung to his body and said, "It's so warm."

Then, I fell into unconsciousness.

...

When I regained consciousness, I opened my eyes to find myself lying on a snowy white bed. I blinked and glanced around the room. The decor was very simple, with only a bed, a wardrobe, and a sofa set. However, the entire left wall was made of floor-to-ceiling windows, revealing a view of the moonlit night and an endless sea of flowers. The flower sea extended into the darkness, making it impossible for me to determine its vastness.

However, one thing I could be sure of was that it was beautiful there.

I felt physically and mentally tired, and having gone without bathing or changing clothes for several days, I felt completely worn out.

I continued lying on the bed. After a few minutes, Andrew pushed open the door and came in. He said, "Mike is growing suspicious of your identity."

I was puzzled. "What went wrong?"

"He ordered someone to review the surveillance footage in the warehouse. Most likely by tomorrow, he will... You'd better be cautious."

Sooner or later, he would find out my identity.

But I didn't want him to hypnotize me.

I asked Andrew, "Where are we?"

He confessed. "Even I don't know where this is. Mike is starting to suspect me too! The people guarding this villa are different from before. They are all his own men, trained by him many years ago. He has also cut off all communication devices here, which means this place is like a dead zone, completely isolated from the outside world. No one can send any information from here!"

"Is he suspecting you? Aren't you on his side?"

Andrew closed the door and stood before me, offering a candid explanation. "Nine years ago, I was hunted down by the Xenos Family, and Mike saved me. I am grateful to him for that, but I have always been on Shawn's side. Nine years ago, there was a problem with the Xenos Family's security system. Shawn suspected and misunderstood me. It was normal for him to have doubts about me in his position. I can totally understand him. Moreover, he later found out the truth and cleared my name, giving me a promise. It wasn't just me. Shawn made the same promise to the three of us who were

unjustly hunted by the Xenos Family. However, until now, only Seth has utilized that promise. Seth was one of the people who were hunted down back then, and both Owen and I are still holding onto that promise. I don't need it, and Owen resents Shawn, so he doesn't want to use it either. As for why he hates Shawn, that's not relevant. Getting back to the point, I was placed here by Shawn as a spy, but I wouldn't do anything to harm Mike. I'm only here to keep an eye on his condition and prevent him from hurting you."

I asked in astonishment, "Did Shawn arrange for you to be by Ezekiel's side from the beginning? How did he know that I would come here? And if you know Shawn's whereabouts, why didn't you arrange for someone to rescue him?"

Andrew smiled and replied, "Mrs. Xenos, I know you have many doubts, but I can only explain briefly. Shawn didn't know you would come here. He just tends to consider all aspects thoroughly when making decisions. Shawn willingly allowed himself to be captured by those people. His purpose was to find out the whereabouts of Mike and Adrian. He had been searching for them in Gleiburg, trying to eliminate their surface forces, but he couldn't penetrate their core territory. Additionally, Alfred's forces were pressing hard, so Shawn chose to get captured and be taken to Novaria, where the heart of Adrian and Mike's domains are. This place may not be Mike's central stronghold, but it is Adrian's territory. Shawn's goal this time is to defeat Adrian and resolve the lingering issues from nine years ago."

Andrew's revelations were overwhelming!

I listened in a daze with confusion in my heart. After a while, I finally asked him, "Since you've been by Ezekiel's side all this time, why don't you know his whereabouts?"
