The Runaway Groom
Chapter 708

Chapter 708

The sharp edge of the knife cut through cloth and flesh, and blood soon dyed Zachary's shirt red.

Lulu's hands twitched for an instant, but she soon clenched her fingers and reared her chin at him. "Punish yourself however you want-it won't work with me. I won't shed a tear even if you die in front of me." Zachary thought he could hear his own heart shattering right then, and the physical agony he suffered was less than a fraction of his heartache.

He would not believe that it was over between him and Lulu.

They used to be in love, that was why he would not believe that she felt nothing toward him at all!

He took her hand and put it on the hilt. “If you really feel nothing towards me, pierce my heart with this knife."

Lulu averted her eyes. "So that you can make me a murderer? I knew you were always vile. Kill yourself if you want-don't try to pin the blame on me!"

"Oh, Lulu. You've forgotten everything but you're still stubborn as ever... alright, if that's what you want.” Zachary laughed bitterly and closed his eyes. "I'll repay what I owe with my life!"

He was resolved to die and prove his love for her.

Lulu could see that the knife was almost two inches into his body now. Even if she forgot the past, her instincts as a forensic doctor were still ingrained in her subconscious, and she judged with precision that the knife would reach Zachary's vitals in another inch.

And that it just might kill him.

As a doctor, Zachary knew that too, but he was weary.

He did owe Lulu too much anyway, and repaying her might give him a shot to restore things to how they had been before.

Lulu caught his hand then. “Kill yourself all you want. Not in front of me." Despite his apathy, she had already called an ambulance. Staring after her, he asked, "You care, don't you?"

Lulu naturally would not admit it. "You're kidding. I just don't want to get charged. I won't be able to explain myself if you died near me." Zachary simply ignored it and grabbed her hand. “I've made many mistakes, Lulu, but I've always been loyal. I know you're determined to leave me because I wavered and couldn't protect you. That's why you lost your memories after my mother tried to kill you. I'm refusing to let you go because I can't live without you, do you understand?"

Lulu turned away from his gaze. "No, I don't."

That was when Zachary collapsed into the couch, his face turning pale. ' You're just pretending. You definitely can sense my feelings for you." Lulu shot him a look. "Still trying to be Romeo when you're bleeding out?"

“It's worth it if it's you," Zachary rasped.

Lulu simply ignored him and she stepped outside to wait for the ambulance to arrive, which took another twenty minutes.

Lulu hesitated for a while, but got in as Zachary was rushed to the hospital -she had to know how things would turn out.

While Zachary was being examined, she waited outside on a bench. Mrs. Slate was just leaving after changing her bandages, and she spotted Lulu at the walkway.

"What are you doing here?" Mrs. Slate came to ask just as the doors opened.

A nurse stepped outside and asked, "Is the patient's family here?" "Patient? Who's the patient?"

Mrs. Slate had a feeling she knew the answer even as she watched Lulu, but she asked anyway, “Is Zachary hurt?”

When Lulu did not answer, she turned toward the nurse, "What happened to my son?"

“Laceration,” the nurse said. "You're family, yes? Please sign this surgery consent form-the patient requires a minor surgery.”

Mrs. Slate almost fainted from the nurse's words and she turned sharply toward Lulu. "Was that your fault?"
