Rebirth Reclaiming Her Self by Fleur Delacour

Chapter 457 Why Did Fanny Kins Tell A Lie? | was only after hearing James’ persuasion that Scarlet agreed to let Zacas leave the hospital. But Fanny couldn't shake off her suspicions.

Upon seeing the furrow of concern on Scarlet’s brow, Fanny reached out to soothe her. “Ever since Zacharias cto Northland, he has hardly stepped outside. It’s high the did. Mom, trust me, if James thinks it's safe to leave the hospital, then Zac will be just fine.” Scarlet cast a weary glance at her and let out a heavy sigh. “I get it. James always has his own way of doing things.” In that moment, a twinge of guilt tugged at her heart. Deep down, her reluctance to let Zacharias leave the hospital stemmed from her fear that he might secretly undergo testing and then donate his kidney to Fanny.

This fear revealed a clear lack of trust in Fanny among the Kin Family members. Even Joseph hadn't been able to fully confide in her.

After all, whoever told Fanny about the results of the compatibility test all cback negative.

Fanny locked eyes with Scarlet and offered a genuine and warm smile.

“Mom, even without James’ advice, you shouldn’t worry too much. Zac has his own way of handling things.” Scarlet let out a weary sigh. “Hmm. Once Zac is out of the hospital, I'll make sure to spend. quality twith him. You shouldn't fret either.” She couldn't quite grasp the idea that Zacharias had a method to his madness, especially when he had carnestly offered to donate his kidney to Fanny before.

He had reached a point where he simply didn’t want to go on living.

How could someone who had lost the will to live possibly have a method to their actions? She had given James her word that she would ensure Zacharias’ release from the hospital because she had faith that James had a plan in place, whether it was to prevent Zacharias from receiving accurate matching results or to halt his thoughts and actions of donating his kidney.

Fanny nodded resolutely. “Alright, Mom. I'll be there for Zac, too.” But when she expressed her desire to support Zacharias, Scarlet remained silent as her thoughts swirled with concern.

1/4 Chapter 457 Why Did Fanny Kins Tell A Lief She was practically hoping that Fanny and Zacharias would stay apart. How could awe kazi to hear Fanny talking about being with Zacharias? Fanny's face tightened as she sensed something was off. She was abou when Scarlet chimed in, her tone firm, “Focus on your studies and be cautious around Chris Don’t worry about anything else.” Scarlet’s words coff a bit rigid and authoritative.

Fanny's expression froze, and an icy sensation gripped her heart inexplicably, Scarlet was keeping her away from Zacharias.

But Fanny cto the hospital to convince Zacharias to cback to Riverdon with her There was no way she would let Scarlet get her way.

She decided to drop the subject of accompanying Zac after his discharge. Having settled into the chair, she said, “Mom, I'm feeling much better now. You go ahead and handle the paperwork.” Scarlet noticed her improved complexion and, feeling a pang of awkwardness over her earlier words, offered a casual reassurance before proceeding to deal with the paperwork.

As Scarlet walked away, Fanny couldn't shake the turmoil within her.

Ever since Christopher suggested that she and Zacharias should be a match, Scarlet had been harboring resentment toward Christopher, and it had started to affect her relationship with Fanny as well.

Despite Scarlet’s recent coldness, Fanny's heart ached.

After a moment of contemplation, she made her way to Zacharias’ ward.

She was determined to persuade him to leave Northland with her, but her resolve had never been stronger.

Northland had beca cesspool of problems, and she longed to escape its clutches. She didn’t want to stay a moment longer! When she finally reached his room, Zacharias wasn't lying in bed as usual but sitting in a wheelchair by the bedside, gazing out the window.

Although he couldn't see much from his vantage point on the fifth floor, the distant skyscrapers held his attention, and their imposing presence seemed to captivate him despite his physical limitations.

“Hey, Zac, Fanny's voice broke through his reverie.

2/4 hapter 457 Why Did Fanny Kins Tell A Lia Zacharias slowly turned his wheelchair toward her and took a moment to refocus Fanny, shouldn't you be in class?” he inquired.

Fanny hesitated for a moment before offering the excuse she had prepared for Scarlet, but his expression soured.

Sensing his doubt, she was about to explain when he interjected, “Fanny, do you have a lot of studying to do?” Fanny shook her head, feeling a bit dazed.

She didn’t care about her studies at all as she probably knew that she could easily get a diploma by just fooling around, and even if she couldn't, it didn’t matter. With the Kins Family behind her, as long as she could marry a good man, she could still live a good life.

She had once entertained the idea of marrying Christopher, but after all that had happened, her feelings for him faded. Besides, before heading back to Riverdon this time, she had least managed to lure Christopher into Florence's trap, so the notion of marrying him never crossed her mind, even if he dared to broach the subject with her.

Fanny always had doubts about Christopher's proposal; it just didn’t feel genuine.

Upon seeing her shake her head, Zacharias persisted, “Could you accompanyto another hospital later? It won't take much of your time.” Fanny felt her heart race. She sensed something in Zacharias‘ request, yet he appeared sincere.

With a quivering voice, she inquired, “What is it that you want to do, Zac?” Zacharias let out a sigh. He was about to respond when he noticed someone approaching the ward from outside, prompting him to shake his head subtly.

Fanny furrowed her brow. She had also sensed someone's arrival without even turning around.

“Why are you here in the ward, Fanny?” Scarlet’s voice chimed in from behind, confirming Fanny's suspicions.

Fanny turned and flashed with a smile. “I cto have a chat with Zac.” Scarlet, still grappling with her frustration, was taken aback by Fanny's radiant smile. “The discharge papers are ready/Let’s head htogether,” she suggested eagerly.

Fanny agreed and offered to push Zacharias‘ wheelchair herself. As they made their way out of the hospital, each was lost in their own thoughts.

Little did she know, Zacharias was also harboring d transplant results. She could have held off on trying to persuade hitn could've waited until he was confident about the successful match resit n, he could her willingly offered to donate his kidney to her.

She hoped the Kins Family wouldn’t hold it against her for taking a passive approach.

As they exited the hospital and made their way home, the trio’s minds frezzed with ampokes thoughts.

Meanwhile, James, having met with a friend earlier, received a message from another acquaintance who had uncovered Fanny's whereabouts, He wasted no tin arranging a meeting.

When they finally met, his friend handed him a document.

James flipped through the papers and only just discovered that Fanny had been taken from the school gate by someone named Jane Coolidge yesterday.

“Who's Jane Coolidge?” he asked, puzzled. “One of Fanny's classmates? His friend hadn't provided any information about Jane, but Fanny had claimed she was at a friend's house. Could it be her? Jane isn’t important. What matters is that she took Fanny to meet Miss Florence Shelton, James’ friend said, smirking and emphasizing “Miss Florence Shelton.” When James heard ‘Miss Florence Shelton,” he froze, and his eyebrows knitted together unconsciously.

“How did she end up involved with the Shelton family?” he asked anxiously.

Recalling yesterday when he spoke with Fanny and she mentioned being at a friend's house, James’ frown deepened.

Why would Fanny lie? “How would | know? But she seems okay, and nothing bad happened to her. His friend shrugged.
