Night of Destiny Novel by Vanessa K

Unfortunately for Shirley, she happened to grab Zacharias’ wound, but she
quickly released her grip. However, by then, the man had already finished
reading the message. She snatched her phone back and asserted, “Even if
you're my boss, you're not allowed to peek at my messages.”
“Ouch! That hurts.” He winced, covering the spot where she had grabbed him.
Concerned, she immediately put down her phone and checked on him. A subtle
smile played on his lips, suggesting he was more significant than she'd thought.
After confirming that his arm was okay, she picked up her phone and headed
outside.
Zacharias sighed, realizing that Shirley was deliberately avoiding him.
A sense of urgency gripped her heart. She hoped Cole wouldn't misunderstand
her relationship with Zacharias. She glanced at his message and noticed that he
hadn't mentioned Zacharias, indicating that Cole wasn’t aware of the person she
cared for. She sent Cole a message. “Cole, I'm taking care of a friend in the
hospital.
Okay. Take care of yourself, too, he replied. “I will. You too, Shirley replied with a
warm smile, feeling a sweet warmth in her heart.
I'm about to go on a mission. We'll chat when I have some free time, Cole
responded. She understood his work demands and replied with a smiling face,
saying, “Stay safe.”
At that moment, a new message appeared from her difficult-to-please boss inside
the room.
“Come in. I have something to discuss. Shirley hadn't had a chance to savor the
sweetness of love and quickly got up to enter the hospital room. Zacharias was
lying in bed and said to her, “Check if I still have a fever.”
She promptly approached him and placed her hand on his forehead, reporting,
“You still have a high fever!”
“Help me wipe my body. I'm feeling uncomfortable,” he requested. She pressed
the call bell, and the nurse brought alcohol and a towel. The doctor also came
and prescribed a fever-reducing medicine for Zacharias. Shirley then helped him
with physical cooling.
Zacharias obediently took the medicine. After everyone left, he unbuttoned his
hospital gown with his long fingers. Shirley reached out to help him take it off.
His eyes were a bit red from the fever, and even his normally rosy lips now
appeared deeper in color, giving him an alluring, almost demonic appearance. He
exuded an even more devilish aura.
“Does he know that you're taking care of me?” he asked while tilting his long
neck to allow her to wipe him. Shirley furrowed her delicate eyebrows. “He
doesn’t know.”
“What if he finds out?”
“Cole won't misunderstand us,” she replied calmly. The coolness of the alcohol
on Zacharias” skin and her proximity ignited a warm desire in his heart. He
asked, “Why?”
“Because we trust each other,” she replied firmly. “You wouldn't understand.”
Zacharias, already hurt, felt more wounded by Shirley's words. He remained
silent and reached out to hold her hand. “No need to wipe me anymore.”
She had only wiped him for a short while and wondered why he was acting
strange. “You still need to cool your back down,” she said.
