Chapter 141
“Look into it p>
Samuel nodded and left immediately to investigate.
Frederick stared at the illuminated red light above the emergency room doors, leaning back in his chair with a somber gaze.
At first, he thought Zoe had resorted to such extremes simply because she didn’t want to leave the country.
But based on the nanny’s account, things clearly weren’t that simple.
Besides, Zoe adored her children. Why would she attempt to take her own life when she had Charlie and was expecting another baby?
Someone must have pushed her to her absolute limit, causing her to lose control. Otherwise, she never would have done this.
At that thought, Frederick’s eyes narrowed into a predatory gaze.
He wanted to see exactly who was trying to harm the Fairchild family.
Once he found out, he absolutely wouldn’t let them off the hook!
Just then, the red light above the emergency room went out.
The doctor approached to inform him that Zoe was out of danger. The nurses transferred her to a VIP suite upstairs.
Frederick followed them the entire way.
When he walked into the room, Zoe was already awake. Her complexion was pale, yet she forced a weak smile for him.
“Frederick, I’m sorry. I’ve caused trouble for you again,” she whispered.
Frederick’s heart softened. He walked over to her bedside and let out a sigh.
“Zoe, what nonsense are you talking about p>
“Frederick Zoe’s eyes grew red and teary.
“After we came back from Wisteria Cove that night, I reflected on my actions. I I realized I might have taken advantage of your kindness. Even though… even though I only wanted the best for you I crossed the line and caused your parents to misunderstand you. I’m sorry… I can’t do anything right. I’m so sorry p>
Frederick’s gaze flickered.
“Felix is gone. It’s my responsibility to take care of you. I’ve never blamed you. Stop overthinking p>
Zoe suddenly grabbed his hand, tears streaming down her face.
“I know I’ve brought you so much trouble. So. when your parents arranged for me to leave the country, couldn’t accept it at first But then I figured it out. I thought, if my leaving makes you and your parents happy, then going abroad is worth it. But… right before leaving, I. I still wanted to do something to help you. Who knew… who knew I’d just mess it up in the end p>
Frederick had intended to pull his hand away, but his movements halted at her words, his expression turning serious.
“Help me? Mess it up? What do you mean p>
He had a nagging feeling that this was tied to the real reason behind her suicide attempt.
Zoe instantly began to cry harder, her voice choked with sobs.
“Yesterday… yesterday I went to see Maeve. I tried to explain everything so she wouldn’t misunderstand us and demand a divorce. Your parents are gefting older, and they just want to see our family happy and complete. I asked her to be considerate of them and of you But… out of nowhere, her friend started screaming at me. She called me such awful things p>
At this, she completely broke down, sobbing loudly as her body trembled non-stop.
The sound seemed to overlap with Charlie’s heart-wrenching cries.
It was equally agonizing to hear.
Frederick pressed his lips into a tight line. He half-raised his hand, wanting to pat her shoulder to comfort her.
Zoe threw herself straight into his arms.
“Oh, Frederick, I… am I really that useless p>
Frederick patted her back gently, his gaze turning dark.
“Don’t worry. I will get to the bottom of this and get justice for you p>
