Rebirth In Divorce My New Mr. Perfect (by Summer Knowles) novel Chapter 541

Sarah looked at Zachary gravely. "Mia's condition is deteriorating. I need to continue her treatment."

Zachary's fingers drummed lightly on his desk, disapproval written across his face. "That's..."

"What? Don't you trust me?" Sarah raised an eyebrow.

"Of course I trust you. I've never doubted your professional ability. I just..." Just want to prevent what might happen - like you leaving me when you learn the truth.

But he'd never tell her that.

Sarah knew Zachary well. Something specific was making him hesitate. Those strange photographs? Or that drawing Mia had made?

Though she suspected he wouldn't answer, she had to ask. "Tell me why."

Zachary froze. "I'm sorry. I can't."

He couldn't say anything until he'd figured out his explanation.

Sarah gave a bitter laugh. "Is it because of Tina’s incident? Or what happened when Mia had her episode at the school gates? I know you don't believe those online rumors, but I can't think of any reason you'd willingly stop Mia's treatment, knowing how serious her condition is."

Zachary struggled for words, finally managing, "Sasa, the timing isn't right, I-"

"Timing! That's all you ever say! From the beginning until now, months have passed, and the timing is never right. How long are you going to keep lying to me?" Sarah stared at him, no longer able to believe his excuses.

"Something else, Mr. Reynolds?" Sarah felt his hand trembling as it gripped her wrist, fighting the urge to pull away.

For a moment, Zachary regained his composure, though her icy stare chilled him. "Don't go."

He hadn't seen her in so long. He knew she despised him now - only Mia would bring her here voluntarily.

Vivian's eyes turned cold. "Zachary, if Miss Sanders is in such a hurry to leave, she must have other commitments. No need to keep her."

Sarah gave her a brief glance. "Mr. Reynolds, if that's all, I should go."
