Chapter 3 As soon as the words fell , Zacharys figure appeared in a flash . He angrily grabbed Silvias hand , his eyes filled with fury . Silvia , were you never at peace for a moment ? What does my ring for Rebecca have to do with you ? Why did you suddenly throw it away ! Silvia stared into his eyes , and in his angry gaze , there seemed to be a hint of anticipation . Did he expect her to throw away Rebeccas ring because he was jealous ? A wave of bitterness washed over her heart , but she forced herself to put on a smile . Why did I throw away an insignificant ring ? To me , it was not as important as the stack of banknotes you gave me . 11 Zacharys eyes instantly turned cold and heartless . He forcefully pushed her into the depths of the lake , with a loud splash , accompanied by her screams of shock . However , he had already turned away and never looked at her again . I dont care what method you use , you must retrieve the ring for me . After saying that , he hurriedly left without hesitation , pulling Rebecca along . It was winter at this time , just after a snowfall , and the weather was exceptionally cold . There were some scattered ice blocks floating on the surface of the lake , just looking at them made people shiver uncontrollably . Silvia soaked in the lake , the bone chilling water almost completely froze her . The mud at the bottom of the lake concealed various sharp fragments , piercing her feet and causing blood to gush out . She bit her lip and repeatedly submerged herself in the water , resurfacing again and again . After mechanically searching in the lake all night , until the blood stained a large area of the lake , she finally found the ring at the bottom of the lake . When she appeared in front of Zachary , battered and in a sorry state , he furrowed his brows and coldly took out a wad of cash from his pocket , once again heartlessly throwing it in front of her . As in every previous time , she silently left with the money . In the following days , Zachary unusually did not bother her . 1/4 Until that day , when she came back from going out , as soon as she got off the car , she saw the entire Aldrichs Villa enveloped in thick rolling smoke . A sudden layer of uneasiness surged in her heart , Zachary was in danger ! The thought only flashed through her mind , and she couldnt wait to rush towards the big fire . Zachary has always liked peace and quiet , so the household servants would only come to clean when he was not around . He stayed at home these days , so there would be no one else in the Aldrichs Villa except him ! Because she was very familiar with the Aldrichs Villa , she quickly found the unconscious Zachary in the bedroom . When the fire started , it spread rapidly . He must have taken sleeping pills to rest , which is why he was trapped in the fire without any warning and was rendered unconscious by the smoke . She struggled to support his entire body on her own and moved slowly towards the door . The fire grew bigger and bigger , almost completely cutting off the entire path . As she was thinking , the burning beam suddenly fell down . She didnt have time to think and she protected herself by leaning on Zachary . Her back was instantly hit by the scorching wooden frame , and she was in so much pain that she almost passed out . Looking at Zachary , who was lying on her shoulder , with a furrowed brow and deep in slumber , she felt a determination she had never experienced before . She was determined to rescue Zachary , even if it meant sacrificing her own life . And so , with a determination to die if necessary and without caring for her own safety , she actually managed to rescue a tall figure of over 1.9 meters from the fire . The two of them lay on the lawn , she breathed heavily , taking in the fresh air , her entire body covered in bruises . Seeing Rebecca running towards them , she mustered her last strength and pushed Zachary into the arms of the approaching person . If he woke up , you would say that you saved him . Rebecca looked at the appearance of the person in front of her and didnt know what she wanted to do . She called out to Silvia , who was getting up to leave , and asked again . Chapter 3 2/4 You told me , Elaine , whether it was you who intentionally killed him or not ? She stood up unsteadily , and upon hearing her question , her body involuntarily stiffened before she finally spoke after a long while . After saying that , she hurriedly left without looking back . In the following days , Rebecca took care of Zachary attentively . And when he found out that it was Rebecca who had risked her life to save him , he treated her even better , making others jealous , and fulfilling almost every request she had . And their intimate moments became more frequent , with Silvia standing outside the room , listening attentively to their passionate encounters and the sweet words he whispered to her . She thought , perhaps now , Zachary had really fallen in love with Rebecca . Thats fine too , he should have long ago sought his true happiness . And she , like a sewer rat , lurked in the darkness , peering at others happiness . The wound on her back still throbbed , and she could only secretly apply medicine when no one was around . That day , just like usual , she was hiding in her small room , taking off her coat and about to apply medicine when the door was suddenly pushed open . Someone is here , and its Zachary . His gaze fell on the hideous wound on her back , and his eyes instantly turned red . Afterwards , he walked towards her step by step, tremblingly opening his mouth . What happened with these burns ?
