That day was probably Zen's best chance at getting away. They hadn't expected that Christian would use such unscrupulous methods to stop her.
Zen forced a smile and shook her head. "Forget it. You saw what Christian did back there. We both know a man like him is capable of anything. Anyway, he's right.
Without his permission, I will not be able to leave him. I cannot possibly endanger the lives of family and other innocent people to get away from him. Even if I manage to escape, my conscience will not be clear."
"Zen..." Wendy grasped Zen's hand tightly and said regretfully, "I'm sorry, I wasn't able to help you today."
"You tried your best." Zen knew that Wendy tried to help her wholeheartedly.
No matter how many times Zen had betrayed their friendship, Wendy still helped her without reservation.
Zen knew there was no way she could ever repay Wendy for her kindness.
