Rebirth Reclaiming Her Self

Chapter 457 Why Did Fanny Kins Tell A Lie?

I was only after hearing James‘ persuasion that Scarlet agreed to let Zacas leave the hospital. But Fanny couldn’t shake off her suspicions.

Upon seeing the furrow of concern on Scarlet’s brow, Fanny reached out to soothe her. “Ever since Zacharias came to Northland, he has hardly stepped outside. It’s high time he did. Mom, trust me, if James thinks it’s safe to leave the hospital, then Zac will be just fine.”

Scarlet cast a weary glance at her and let out a heavy sigh. “I get it. James always has his own way of doing things.”

In that moment, a twinge of guilt tugged at her heart. Deep down, her reluctance to let Zacharias leave the hospital stemmed from her fear that he might secretly undergo testing and then donate his kidney to Fanny.

This fear revealed a clear lack of trust in Fanny among the Kin Family members. Even Joseph hadn’t been able to fully confide in her.

After all, whoever told Fanny about the results of the compatibility test all came back negative.

Fanny locked eyes with Scarlet and offered a genuine and warm smile.

“Mom, even without James‘ advice, you shouldn’t worry too much. Zac has his own way of handling things.”

Scarlet let out a weary sigh. “Hmm. Once Zac is out of the hospital, I’ll make sure to spend. quality time with him. You shouldn’t fret either.”

She couldn’t quite grasp the idea that Zacharias had a method to his madness, especially when he had carnestly offered to donate his kidney to Fanny before.

He had reached a point where he simply didn’t want to go on living.

How could someone who had lost the will to live possibly have a method to their actions?

She had given James her word that she would ensure Zacharias‘ release from the hospital because she had faith that James had a plan in place, whether it was to prevent Zacharias from receiving accurate matching results or to halt his thoughts and actions of donating his kidney.

Fanny nodded resolutely. “Alright, Mom. I’ll be there for Zac, too.”

But when she expressed her desire to support Zacharias, Scarlet remained silent as her thoughts swirled with concern.

She was practically hoping that Fanny and Zacharias would stay apart. How could awe kazi to hear Fanny talking about being with Zacharias?
