Chapter 31: Chapter 31

**Zion's POV**

"You didn't kill him, did you?" show asks me as she locks her eyes on mine and my whole speaks the truth to her but my lips don't want and the sole reason for that is I want her to trust me like she did to me year ago.

"I think you should get back to your work," I say to her trying to walk away from her and looking at the city from the large glass window in front of me.

"Zion, I want your answer. She comes behind me and pulls me from my shoulders towards her.

" Don't try to change the topic! I want an answer and that answer should be clearer to me. Why are you always silent when I talk about Kevin? Why don't you try to explain anything to me? Don't you know I can take any guess from your silence?" she shouts at me.

"Guesses like?" I ask her though I know the most probable guess of her.

"That you...you might have done that to Kevin," she says with low and heavy words.

With her heavy humph I can understand that she completely doesn't believe that I am the one.

I lift my hands to get face and caress her cheek gently with my thumbs looking at her adorably and utmost care.

She holds the wrist of my hands and looks at me with her tearful eyes as she is scared she might hear something that she doesn't want to hear.

"You're scared, Nan?" I ask her.

She doesn't answer.

"Please, tell me," her voice is low and pleading. She wants to know the truth so desperately.

"What do you want to hear? What makes your heart to soothe? Which answer?" I ask her.

How can I tell her? How can I tell her that her best friend is the worst asshole who had been tricking her all this time?

"Truth. Whatever it is the truth is what I want to hear. I want to know everything of that day," she says with her both hands on my wrist.

"Come here. Too much of negative emotions aren't good for you," I make her sit back to the seat and caress her hair.

"I didn't do it," I say finally and she seems to take in the long breath of relief.

"I knew that you could never do that," she says and her single sentence brings the happiness all over my face. I know she was having a problem with trusting me but I never knew that somewhere she have hoped more than just that negativity for my innocence.

"You did?" I say as I caress her cheeks.

She nods her head.

"I know you love me Nan but I am patiently waiting for that day when you will accept all of that with your own lips and trust me I am going to accept you with all my heart. My heart is always open to you. Just remember that," I say and her eyes looks more like filled with concern for me right now.

"Selena loves you?" she asks me. Is she jealous or is she asking me all of a sudden just like that.

"Why do you want to know about her?" I ask her.

"I was just asking," she rolls her eyes and tries to walk out of their but I pull her on the chair.

"Don't tell me you're jealous!" I ask.

"Why would I?" she rolls her eyes and I couldn't help smiling seeing her cheeks blush red like cherries.

She looks so hot and cute with the blushes in her cheeks that I just want go bite those reddish cheeks.

"You look cuter," I say and she blushes more and runs away from me.

My heart still flutters when she does that. She blushed with what I said. Does that mean we are soon going to be together with each other?

Will we be like we used to be?

I have promised to myself the day she accepts that she loves me, I am going to reveal the greatest truth of her life and promise her that I will be always with her.

I dial the phone and call the hospital.

"Did you get the specialist?When is he going to arrive here?" I ask.

But the other side says it's impossible to bring him as he had so much of work and doesn't have any intention to come over this place.

"Michael, I need you to book me a ticket to Egypt and as soon as possible," I order my assistant.

By next month, I need this specialist here at any cost.

**Nancy's POV**

"Lady, won't you have any lunch? It's a lunch time. Don't work too hard on yourself," the same guy whom I saved from the acid asks me.

"It's fine. You can go and have. I don't feel like eating...uhm...," I want to call his name but I never asked his name at the first place.

"Alex! I am sorry not to introduce myself to you before team leader. It's Alex," he says and I smile timidly.

Being a team leader, I am supposed to remember the name of all of my members but this seems quite irresponsibility of me that I don't even remember the name of the people who works along with me.

"I'm sorry but I was supposed to but...," I don't have any reason for that. I have been like this since a long time.

I have never tried to hang out with new people.Its just because I thought that we are all work related and only we should consider each other during work.

And sometimes, I regret for doing it so. I feel as if I shouldn't have done that and I wish that I wouldn't be so much unsociable with the world.

"So, I am leaving for lunch," he says and leaves for the cafeteria.

For some moment, I even think that I should just stop him and walk together with him but though my heart decides it, my feet don't want to do that.

I am always supposed to be like this. I am supposed to stay alone and do everything alone.

All of them empty the lab and go out for lunch but I don't feel like doing the lunch.

I feel as if I am electrocuted right now.

Zion turns to be my boss and I never knew about it. I have been taking my own decision and tagging him for being  responsible for whatever happened to Kevin.

I strongly believe that he isn't the one now. The Zion, I know can never do such a thing.

I know he lied and I am already punishing him for that but I don't believe that he could be the one trying to hurt Kevin.

I am lost in my thoughts when I realize the strange smell coming out from the lab.

I don't know what kind of smell, it is but the smell is quite similar to carbon monoxide.

I look around to check from where the gas is leaking. I even checked everywhere on the lab but I can't get from where the smell is coming from.

I quickly rush to the door, to call someone for help but the door is locked. Someone must have locked it while going out for lunch.

I knock it from inside but I guess there is no one who could hear my voice at all.

We are suppose never to lock the lab's door when someone is inside the lab.

What the hell is going on?

The smoky air slowly gets all in the room. It thickens along with the every seconds of time and my heartbeat feels like it's been decreasing little by little.

I quickly take out my phone. The person who called me last time, is non other than Zion in my phone log.

My eyes feel dizzy and I press the number and do a call.

"Yes, Nan!" I hear his voice and hearing his voice in this situation feels like a drop of water in the desert.

"Zion...The lab...the lab...is...," I start to feel suffocated little by little and there is no one who is right beside me.

"Nan! What's wrong? I'm coming for you," he says and my lips curls up in happiness

He's coming for me.

But it's already hard to breathe. As I look at the ceiling, my eyes remember all the good moments I spent together with him, keeping aside all the bad moments we had together.

I don't know whether we are meant to be together or not but for me it was always him and it will always be him.

I don't care if he is a bad guy. I don't care if he had betrayed me but if...if I survive this incident, I will make sure that I will hug him the tight and not letting him go out of my hands anymore.

I hear the sound of knocking the door. Somebody is here.

Finally, I can be saved.

"Nancy! Nancy!" it's him. It is Zion and he looks like he is worrying about me right now.

I can't see his eyes clearly. I can't see his face clearly but I sense somehow his touch on my body. He is running with me on his arms. The air is thinner but I feel like sleeping all along with him right beside me, right on his chest.
