Chapter 803:
Zenia fixed Collin with a steady gaze, her lips sealed shut.
Together with Zander, she had crafted their plan meticulously and was determined to keep it a secret from
Linsey.
“Are you not in the mood to talk?” Collin asked, his voice soft and his demeanor soothing. “That's perfectly fine.
Just take stto rest; we'll arrive at the police station shortly.”
After a brief silence, he said, “I'm sorry, but | don’t have any children’s beverages in the car. Would you like
swater instead?”
Zenia gave a small nod without making a sound.
Her throat felt parched.
Collin smiled slightly and requested his assistant to pass a water bottle. He checked the temperature of the
bottle before loosening the cap.
Looking back at his assistant, Collin asked, “Is there a straw available?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Yes,” the assistant responded, promptly producing a straw and passing it to him.
Collin inserted the straw into the bottle and handed it to Zenia.
Zenia tried to grasp it, but her hands were too small to hold it steadily. Observing this, Collin supported the
bottle from below, allowing her to sip comfortably.
Suddenly, his assistant, seated in the front, said hesitantly, “Mr. Riley, the meeting is set to start in ten minutes.
We're likely going to be late.”
Without any apparent worry, Collin said, “Reschedule the meeting for thirty minutes later.”

He seemed unable to fully relax until he had personally ensured Zenia was safe at the police station.
As Collin watched Zenia drink, he noted a resemblance to Linsey in her features.
But then, something about her face tugged at a memory he couldn't fully grasp. It nagged at him, just out of
reach.
For a moment, he considered whether she might look a bit like Gorman, but the idea slipped away before it could
settle. The doubt annoyed him. Indeed, Collin had overheard Zenia referring to Gorman as Daddy, confirming his
suspicions about her parentage.
He suspected his personal aversion to Gorman was clouding his judgment, making him doubt Zenia’s
resemblance to him.
“I don’t need any more water,” Zenia said, pulling Collin from his thoughts.
Acknowledging her, he resealed the water bottle.

“Just really thirsty,” she retorted firmly.
