Night of Destiny Novel by Vanessa K

“Zacharias is fortunate to have escaped this. He'll be alright. Ren patted Josef's
shoulder and comforted him.
At this moment, the door to the ward opened. Three doctors came out one after
another, talking in low voices. When they saw Ren, they immediately approached
with serious expressions.
Shirley strained her ears to listen to their conversation. The doctors implied that
there didn’t seem to be any internal injuries for Zacharias. Only the external
injuries were severe and he needed rest.
“Great-uncle, can I go in and see him?” Shirley urgently asked, to which Ren
nodded. “Go see Zach.”
Josef couldn't help but ask, “Who is this young lady?”
“I am a friend of Mr. Zacharias, Shirley replied politely.
“She’s my grandniece and Richard's daughter,” Ren explained. Josef looked at
Shirley with a touch of tenderness. “Miss Lloyd, thank you for visiting Zach.”
Shirley nodded, then took advantage of their conversation with the hospital staff
to quickly walk toward the ward. She gently pushed the door open and saw the
nurse still organizing medicines. On the white hospital bed lay Zacharias.
He had closed his eyes and was resting. In just five days, this man already
seemed worse for wear. His pale skin looked even paler against the white
backdrop, which was likely due to significant blood loss. His hair was somewhat
disheveled and fell over his forehead. His arm was exposed, and on his right
forearm, a wound with stitches about ten centimeters long was visible.
Suddenly, Shirley felt a surge of sympathy for him. He might hold a high position,
but he also faced danger frequently.
The nurses finished their tasks and left. Shirley stood beside the man’s bed, not
making a sound to avoid waking him. She simply bent down to take a look at the
wound on his shoulder. It looked like three ugly black centipedes crawling on his
clavicle.
When Zacharias sensed someone at his bedside, he abruptly opened his eyes.
He visibly flinched when his dark gaze met a pair of clear blue eyes.
“Why are you here?” Zacharias asked in at hoarse voice. How did this girl
manage to get in?
“Great-uncle brought me in,” Shirley replied. There was a hint of pity in her eyes
as she asked, “What exactly happened?”
“While driving, someone triggered a suicide bomb. My car was flipped over. If the
bodyguards hadn't put an explosion-proof suit on me, I might not have made it.”
Zacharias calmly recounted his experience, but his eyes revealed deep pain and
anger.
Two lives had to be sacrificed to save him. Shirley's eyes couldn't help but fill with
tears. Lives were sacrificed?
She crouched down and comforted, “We'll find out who's behind this. They won't
get away with it.”
Zacharias closed his eyes. “You should go.”
“If you need me to stay and take care of you, I can,” Shirley said. At this moment,
she couldn't care about her personal grievances with him. She was his
subordinate, and she had a duty to take care of him.
Zacharias looked at her, his gaze lifting. “You're willing to stay and take care of
me?”
She nodded in response. “I'm willing to stay.”
A small smile curved Zacharias’ lip. “Alright, then. You can stay.”

She left Ren to comfort Zacharias and walked up to Roy before asking with
concern, “Captain Barlowe, how are your injuries?”
“I'm alright. It's just a forehead injury,” Roy replied. He also realized that Shirley's
identity was not that simple.
