All too late for his love

Celeste rolled her eyes. Don't touch her? Then, how was Celested supposed to treat this woman?

After Zayn stopped Celeste, he continued his conversation with Liam. "You have one hour to find out who hurt her! Or you can forget about your bonus this year!"

Liam grumbled. "One hour's way too little time. Can't you give me..."

"Half an hour, then!" Zayn snapped.

"Whoa, hold your horses! One hour's enough! I promise that I'll uncover the culprit's identity and even dig up their entire family tree in just an hour!"Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

Celeste had gone to the bathroom to wash her hands before touching Willow's wounds. So, she hadn't heard Zayn's conversation with Liam When she saw the wounds on Willow's back, Celeste couldn't stop herself from sighing "You've turned into such a creep over the years, my dear little brother. Just who did this to her? Hm?"

Recalling Wynn's words the other day, Celeste felt sad. "If you really aren't into women, you can just live the rest of your life with another man! Why did you have to lean into heteronormative values? And you even tortured her! Look at her! Her body's ruined! She's someone's daughter!"

Celeste shoved Zayn, who had remained quiet. "Hey, is Mom right? Do you really have a crush on Kenny? I was reading this BL novel the other day, and the main character is just so cool! But you and Kenny will be even cooler! I can just insert you two in place of the main couple the next time I pick up another BL book!"

Another thought struck Celeste, and the worried frown on her forehead deepened. "Don't tell me that you took your twisted anger out on this poor lady because Kenny snubbed you earlier? I think that you and Kenny will be a good match. It's just unfortunate that he's into women You just have to accept this sad reality.

"Celeste, are you asking for it?"

Now Celeste was displeased by Zayn's attitude. She immediately stood up. "What's with you, Zayn? Do you know how expensive my consultation fees are? Do you know how much one minute of my time is worth? I've wasted a huge amount of time helping you, and this is how you repay me?"

Celeste grew angrier as she spoke. She wanted to keep arguing with Zayn, but she couldn't leave the patient untreated. So, she suppressed her anger down for the time being and focused on treating the woman's injuries Celeste didn't have the same level of skill as Wynn, but this patient's injuries were no challenge for her. She swiftly retrieved the of antiseptic that Wynn herself had made and carefully disinfected the woman's wounds.

Willow's head was heavy, but the agony from being shifted around jolted her awake, along with the pain radiating from her back. Slowly, she opened her eyes. When she felt someone rubbing something on her back, she reflexively turned her face.

Upon realizing that the patient was Willow, Celeste's impassive expression transformed into one of shock.

"Willow?" Celeste put down the antiseptic before grabbing a pillow and whacking Zayn with it.

"Did you torture Kenny's girlfriend you because he can't be yours? Are even human? We're a perfectly normal and upstanding family, so how did you end up being such a twisted little weirdo!

"Did you think that you'd end up winning Kenny's heart after you kill Willow? I'm telling you that you dah forget about getting Kenny if that's what you think! He'll hold a grudge against you for all eternity because he lost the love of his life!

"This won't do. I must call Kenny this instant! I will not let you stoopton such underhanded measures just to En tear him and Willow apart!
