They’d just finished talking about Maya. Zora glanced at his casual outfit-it was definitely not work gear.
“I went to send Jensen off,” Leighton said.
“Jensen? Where’s he heading?” Zora asked, confused.
“He’s going to Mevoria for a business deal p>
He was also there to check if the person running the overseas MZ Group was the guy they’d been searching for all along.
Jensen had been dying to go look into this for a long time, but he’d always been swamped with work and couldn’t get away.
Now that all the trouble with the Knox family was over and life was back to normal, he finally had time to go overseas and confirm if MZ Group’s boss was Asher.
“Oh, I see p>
“Zora, from now on, I’ll have people drive you everywhere you go. I’m also having two plainclothes guards look after you p>
Wayne was still missing. No one could track him down, and he was a total wild card.
No one knew when he might pop up and hurt Zora.
Having secret protection was the only way to stay safe.

“Okay.” Zora wasn’t ungrateful. She knew exactly how risky Wayne’s disappearance was.
“Come eat. I’m done cooking p>
Leighton carried her backpack for her. The house was nice and warm, so Zora took off her cream coat as soon as they walked into the living room.
Zora was about to rush to her room to study, but Leighton grabbed the back of her collar to stop her.
“You finished cooking already? I still have two practice problems to finish p>
Zora really wanted to get her schoolwork done first.

She struggled with science subjects, so she’d asked Maya to gather extra practice questions for her.
She studied and practiced every single day. She knew she wasn’t the fastest learner, so she drilled more problems until she finally got the hang of them.
“Finish your homework after dinner. Your mentor wouldn’t want you pushing yourself this hard just to grow up faster p>
Leighton grabbed her wrist and gently pulled her toward the dining table.
Zora was in such a hurry to get stronger because she knew how hard Asher’s life had been.
She wanted to grow up fast enough to stand beside him and help him one day.
Leighton didn’t hate her hardworking attitude. It was good that she had drive, and the skills she learned would help her for the rest of her life.
But he hated seeing her wear herself out in her rush to grow up.
“Alright p>
Zora wasn’t surprised he’d seen right through her.
She always felt useless. She couldn’t do anything to help her mentor. He had no other family, so she needed to get strong to protect him.
He’d spent years raising and protecting her. Now she wanted to be the one to support him for
once.
Right now, studying hard was the only way she could improve herself and get ready for the future.
“Zora, you’re already amazing. You’re still so young. You don’t have to carry all these heavy problems.
“Don’t feel bad about it. Your only job right now is to eat well, rest well, and take care of yourself.
“When your mentor comes back, you can show him you’ve been doing great, and he won’t have to worry about you at all.
“Besides, we’re the ones who handle all the hard stuff. If anything goes wrong, we step up first. You don’t need to stress over any of this p>
Leighton stroked her hair, his tone soft and sincere.

She was still just a kid. She shouldn’t be burdened with adult troubles.

Asher had hidden all his hardships from her for over ten years, all so she could live a simple, happy life.
“Mm.” Zora nodded.
But they both knew the truth. Once you learn certain things, you can never go back to being innocent and carefree.
Growing up always meant losing a little of that childish simplicity.
Leighton looked at her quiet, calm face and sighed to himself.
He kind of wished she hadn’t learned the truth so soon.
“I made your favorite grilled fish p>
Leighton sat down next to her. He picked out the soft, boneless fish meat and put it on her plate.
“Your insomnia’s way better now, right p>
Zora looked down at the fish on her plate, then up at his face, focusing on his eye area.
The dark circles under his eyes were almost gone.
The first time they met, he’d looked totally worn out and exhausted. Now anyone could see he had way more energy and better health.
Zora regularly made new calming sachets and gentle sleeping pills for him. She also added soothing herbs to his daily meals.
After keeping this up for a long time, his sleep got drastically better.
He used to have terrible insomnia. Even this small improvement made a huge difference for his body.
As his sleep improved, his whole body slowly got healthier too.
Leighton smiled softly. “Yeah. Zora’s an amazing doctor p>
