"I've always believed in you sir. However, when it comes to this I don't believe it a little. Because you and I have just received news that Miss Lily has married your own cousin, it is logically very unlikely that the woman you bumped into is Miss Lily." Cedric spoke clearly, even though he was afraid of Zero but he didn't want Zero to let his guard down again and again over the issue of a woman named Lily.
Zero smiled wryly, it was true what Cedric said. That woman wasn't the Lily he knew but, who? at first glance her face looks like Lily although some of it is covered by strands of hair on the woman's face.
"Then quickly find out who that woman is. I want all the data on her to be ready in an hour," Zero said firmly, giving Cedric an order.
Cedric obediently immediately nodded his head and said "Okay," Cedric said quickly, immediately walked out of the room.
Meanwhile, Zero always imagined Violet's face, which was similar to Lily, her lover, which coincided with Lily's marriage to her cousin today.
"Whether it's Lily or not, I certainly won't let her go!" Zero muttered under his breath, staring intently at the front.
***
It had been a week since Violet had woken up from the accident however, there had never been a beautiful day for Violet to see and enjoy again. The accident did not take Violet's life but, in fact the accident took both of Violet's eyes.
Violet continued to cry even though not infrequently she always tried to end her life, however, the figure of a man she could only hear her voice always stopped all of Violet's plans to end her life.
Tap! There was the sound of footsteps leading into Violet's inpatient room. Violet had even memorized the sound of those shoes, which kept coming in the morning, noon, and night like that for a week.
"You've calmed down, apparently," Zero said quickly, smiling a little as he saw Violet had calmed down and was no longer trying to end her life.
"I have no intention of continuing to be injected with sedatives by your men!" Violet said curtly, staring fiercely at the origin of Zero's voice that she heard.
"People? What do you mean those great Doctors and Sisters, who have been treating your condition all this time. When you refer to them as my people, don't you act like you don't know how to thank them and me for example?" scorned Zero clearly, smiled with a smirk because Violet's attitude was completely different from Lily's attitude, the woman Zero had loved all this time.
Violet laughed blandly.
"Thank you? Should I do that to the person who crashed and made me unable to see the world anymore. I'm not that naive and stupid!" Violet shouted angrily, rebelling back at Zero.
It seemed that the only place for Violet to complain and let out all her anger, could only be to a man who had always come this week and helped her heal.
However, for some reason Violet did not want to just submit to the man because Violet was afraid that when he showed his weak attitude later that person would try to control himself and act arbitrarily to him.
"At least I didn't run away and let you just disappear on the street, Miss Violet Juniar." Zero spoke calmly, he was now getting used to Violet's rude and angry attitude.
Deg! Violet suddenly trembled a little, how could that person know her full name? Has that person found out who Violet really is? and whatever he already knew about Violet.
"How do you know my full name?" Violet asked quietly, sounding doubtful.
Zero smiled a little at the corner of his lips.
"I'm not going to lie to you. I've been trying to find out everything about you," Zero replied firmly, staring seriously at Violet.
Violet clenched her fists tightly and then she said "Isn't that an impolite act! Did you know that someone's information is very confidential and private," Violet said angrily, now Violet seemed to be furrowing her eyebrows.
Zero who saw Violet's angry face which again and again resembled Lily's angry face, suddenly, without realizing it, Zero's right hand reached out to touch Violet's thin cheek.
A warm touch on one of his cheeks made Violet instantly wary and she quickly pushed Zero's hand away roughly.
"Do not touch me!" Violet shouted loudly, sounding frightened.
Finally Zero regained his senses and stepped back three steps, trying to keep his distance from Violet.
"I accidentally touched you, just forget what I just did." Zero spoke casually however, the tone of voice started to turn more unsettled than before.
"If you don't tell me I'll just forget about it! And just so you know, I'll never believe what you say!" Violet said firmly, quipping Zero because Violet didn't want to trust anyone but herself in this bullshit country.
"I never asked you to trust me. But at least please don't try to end your life again, because then my efforts will be in vain in saving yours." Zero spoke firmly, staring seriously at Violet's face which looked a little disapproved of Zero's words.
However, strangely Violet didn't say anything that made Zero curious and started to be wary.
Sure enough, it wasn't long before Violet's tears fell from her eyelids. Zero who saw that immediately felt pain in the recesses of his heart when he saw Violet crying again.
"Why don't you just let me die? Why do you keep saving my life time and time again. You must already know that I'm just a foreigner working in this country, you should just ignore me!" snarled Violet in frustration, now she couldn't stop her tears from falling.
"You can't. You are my responsibility, I have hurt you like this." Zero spoke firmly, staring intently at Violet's face which was now filled with tears.
Zero could no longer bear to see Lusi who was sad this time, making Zero immediately step his feet out of the inpatient room that Violet was occupying.
Since that day Zero only came once every day, that was at night where Violet had been fast asleep.
As long as she is just sitting in her inpatient room, Violet knows the fact that it turns out that the figure of the man who bumped into her was Mr. Zero from the Axcemble family.
Violet also made up her mind and heart to ask Zero for help to pay for the treatment for her eyes.
Like this time, Violet was deliberately pretending to sleep so that Zero could quickly enter her inpatient room every night like a supervisor.
"You came?" Violet said quickly, as she smelled the fresh mint scent of Zero's body.
