Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman

When Zed loosened his hold on Jean's chin, she sank to the floor.

Expressionlessly, she glared at Zed. "Yes, I wanted to know how badly he had been hurt. Am I monster for not wanting Ethan to die for what he did? I knew you were angry last night. And I am quite aware of what you can do when you get angry. Had it been anyone else, I would not have cared. But we're talking about Ethan Lei. His background is not what you think it to be. I dated him before. I know the truth.

Although the repercussions will not cost you your life, handling a situation with the Lei family will not be easy. That's why I told you last night that the bad guys would pay the price some day. You didn't have to put yourself in a situation that would leave you vulnerable!

I have no idea what I did to cause this misunderstanding. I, Jean Wen, am an ordinary woman. I do not have the power or money that you and Ethan Lei do. But I will never forgive a beast like him. I've explained everything now. No matter whether you believe me or not, I won't explain it again. I'm leaving for the hospital. I'd like to check on Maranda."

Jean didn't want to cause more problems between her and Zed. So she took her time and explained things to Zed in a way that there would be no more ambiguity. Without giving Zed a chance to react, she stood, and walked toward the door. This whole time, Jean remained expressionless.

Zed had always handled situations calmly. However, ever since he had fallen in love with Jean, he seemed incapable of doing so.

He caught hold of her hand without thinking, "I'm sorry. I misunderstood you, " he said sheepishly.

However, Jean just stood there. She showed no emotions and she didn't struggle to free herself.

When Zed didn't receive a response from Jean, he felt even more ashamed of his actions. His expression conveyed the pain and sorrow that he felt.

"Jean, could you please say something?" Zed beseeched. When Jean continued to be silent, Zed added, "Scold me if you want to, but please say something." Jean couldn't bring herself to say anything to Zed. She lowered her gaze to the floor. Upon seeing her reaction, Zed stepped closer to Jean.

Slowly Jean raised her head and looked at Zed.

The Zed she knew would never apologize like this. He would also never admit that he was wrong.

And yet, here he was begging for Jean's forgiveness. That implied that he really loved Jean. 'He would never speak like this and with such humbleness, if he did not care about me.
