After they parted in the Mint Coffee House that day, he was dejected and almost desperate. He could only depend on alcohol anesthesia to sustain his life. Unable to bear it any longer, Florey told him that Hazel had gone to see Jobson, and that she had traded for him, Bella. It was not until then that he learned her feelings for him. She was waiting for him, waiting for him to take her away. He couldn't let her down, and even by any means, he would get her back.
Zac noticed the subtle change of the person beside him. He looked at Hanson walking towards them and put his arm around her waist, as if announcing to him that she was his. He didn't want to see Hanson, nor did he want her to see him. It took him so much effort to occupy a little place in her heart. He couldn't let Hanson grab it again.
