“Was that Leighton on the phone? Did he say those people are moving p>
Asher looked up and met Jensen’s sharp gaze. His eyes were cold and heavy.
Jensen knew he’d heard everything, so he didn’t hold anything back.
“Yeah. I need to go back home as soon as possible p>
He couldn’t waste any time when Zora’s safety was on the line.
Finished
“I’m coming with you. There’s no need for me to hide anymore, now that they’ve found her p>
Asher’s eyes turned dark. A strong, tense pressure filled the air.
His long, slender fingers gripped a water glass tightly, his knuckles stiff. His quiet voice held a sharp, cold edge.
“Are you sure you’re okay?” Jensen glanced at him, clearly worried.
Asher always said it was just an old health issue, but he never explained what it was.
He kept insisting he was fine and told him not to worry.
But his pale face and weak body made it impossible for Jensen to believe him.
Still, Jensen knew how stubborn Asher was. If he didn’t want to talk, no one could make him.
After 17 years apart, Asher was a completely different person.

“I’m just tired lately. I’ll be fine after some rest p>
Asher looked down, avoiding Jensen’s searching eyes.
“I’ll have my assistant book the fastest flight p>
Jensen took one more look at him. He saw Asher’s hand under the desk squeezing a handkerchief hard, his jaw locked tight.
“Mm.” Asher nodded faintly.
The second Jensen left, all the calm on Asher’s face disappeared.
He picked up the internal phone, his tone ice cold.

“Bring Celyn to me right now p>
Only three people knew about Zora-himself, Randy, and Celyn.
Randy had stayed loyal by his side this whole time. He would never betray him.
That only left Celyn. She knew everything about Zora.
According to Jensen, Wayne had disappeared about a month ago.
It was exactly one month ago that Asher had sent Celyn away from him.
She was most likely acting out of revenge.
“Asher.” Randy walked into the office.
He was shocked to see the dark, furious look on Asher’s face.
“They’re targeting Zora. I tried everything to protect her, but I still failed p>
Asher clenched his fists so hard the veins on his hands stuck out.
Finished
His chest heaved up and down. A sharp, heavy pain weighed on his heart. His lips were pale, and his face turned white as a sheet.
He pressed a hand to his chest, bending over slightly from the pain.
“Asher, calm down. Zora’s safe for now. The Pierces are protecting her, and Leighton never leaves her side.
“As long as she stays with him, those people won’t dare make a move.
“Don’t
get upset. It’s terrible for your body p>
Randy rushed over. Seeing the redness in his eyes, he pulled out a small bottle, opened it, and fed Asher two pills.
Asher fought through the stabbing pain in his chest and swallowed the pills.
“Pull yourself together, Asher. Zora’s waiting for you to come home p>
Randy placed a firm hand on his shoulder.
Asher closed his eyes for a second, hiding the rage in his gaze. He couldn’t break down. Zora was waiting for him.
He dug his nails into his palm, forcing down the anger burning inside him.

“You can’t fall apart. Zora’s still waiting for you back home p>
Randy patted his shoulder gently, his voice steady and reassuring.
Randy was older than Asher. He’d always thought of Asher as his little brother.
Finished
He’d been through every hard time with Asher, and he knew exactly how important Zora was to him.
Just hearing she was targeted was enough to make Asher lose control.
“I’m going back home.” Asher’s voice was rough and hoarse.
“Alright. I’ll wrap up all our work here. We’ll head back as fast as we can p>
Randy knew Asher wasn’t asking for advice. He was just telling him his final decision.
Once Asher made up his mind, nothing could change it.
Zora had no idea a big surprise was waiting for her.
Late that night, a sudden phone call woke Leighton up from his sleep.
“Leighton, Dad’s in the hospital p>
It was Finn’s voice, low and serious.
Leighton sat up straight in bed, completely stunned.
“How is he p>
Leighton and Zora hurried to the hospital right away.
They ran to the VIP ward entrance, where Finn and Celine were waiting outside.
Doctors were inside running checks on Garrett.
Leighton peered through the glass at the hospital bed, watching the doctors surrounding Garrett.
“They’re still examining him. Dad’s getting older, and his health keeps getting worse p>
Worry filled Celine’s gentle face, and she looked clearly anxious.
Leighton’s jaw tightened. His eyes shook, hiding his panic and concern.

Finn and Celine spotted Zora behind Leighton, forcing out small smiles to greet her.
“Finn, Celine,” Zora replied softly and sweetly.
