Chapter 314 Distracted Zed (1/2)

Now Jean realized why Moore was so peculiar.

He didn't grow up like an ordinary boy and suffered a lot in his life. His childhood was spent in worries and without the companionship of a mother.

Overall, his life experiences had endowed him with a discreet and cautious character. As a result, he dedicated his time to building his body to protect himself from the uncertain life.

”It's just a way of killing time, no big deal!” Seeing the worship and admiration in Jean's eyes, Moore felt a little embarrassed and scratched his head awkwardly.

As a matter of fact, he started to build up his willpower and forbearance at a very young age. It was something that turned into a habit, hence it felt natural to him.

Ever since he realized his value in his dad's life, he lost all his hopes.

If it were not for his foster parents who cared for him, loved him and protected him, he would have been a miserable human-being.

”Don't be so modest! I know you are strong both physically and mentally!” exclaimed Jean. Slowly, she stepped closer to Moore and patted on his shoulder with admiration. ”If I am half as capable as you, I will be afraid of nothing.”

”Jean...” Moore blushed while he uttered Jean's name. ”In that case, don't be afraid because I will be here to protect you!”

”I know.But for that, you need to recover soon,” said Jean with sincerity. Her mind couldn't rest until he recovered completely.

”I will.” Moore took a deep breath and looked at Jean with a determined smile.

Zed, on the other hand, entered his villa and greeted Zelda with a slight nod. Without wasting any time, Zed went straight into his room.

Impatiently, he pushed the door of his bedroom and slumped on his bed in complete darkness. His mind replayed all the beautiful memories he had with Jean in the past.

The mere thought of Jean tingled his body with sensation and brought a genuine smile on his face.

”Jean...”

Zed spoke to the darkness. It was the name that was always on the tip of his tongue. He missed her miserably and wished that she was with him. Sadness consumed him and he closed his eyes to stop himself from weeping.

'You must hate me more now, do you?

You are supposed to hate me! After all, I have hurt you so much.

It's all my fault. I feel so incapable and useless! I can't have you even when I am with you in the same hospital.
