00:17Episode 84 What Are You Afraid Of, Zoe?
00:22Blaine passionately kissed Zoe right there in the middle of the crowded winter festival.
00:28Zoe was embarrassed and squirmed in Blaine's embrace. Anyone could see them, including Max,
00:35who was right there enjoying a rare day out with them. Blaine was dissatisfied with Zoe's
00:40resistance. He pulled back from her and ordered, Open your mouth, Blaine. Max is right. He cut her
00:48off, plunging his tongue into her mouth until Zoe forgot why she was protesting. Zoe and Blaine
00:54kissed for a long time, sunlight beaming off them, bathing them in a dreamy light at their feet.
01:01Max happily licked the snow cone in his hand. The little guy peeked up at his mommy and Dr. Dexter
01:07and his smile grew. He looked away and quietly returned to enjoying his icy treat, beaming with
01:13contentment. The happy family drew the attention of the surrounding patrons. The man hugged the
01:21woman's waist tightly, with one hand holding the child by his feet tightly with the other.
01:26The three of them were lost in their happiness. From time to time, there would be discussion from
01:31the surrounding crowd about them. Wow, look at that family of three. They're so happy. Really,
01:40what a beautiful couple. This is what a perfect man should be like. Only one woman on the other
01:46side of the ice rink didn't seem enamored by the scene. Sophia watched the romantic scene in shock.
01:52Listening to the praise from the surrounding crowd, Sophia's hands clenched tighter and a
01:58cold dark light shone in her eyes. Her gaze again fell on the little boy at Blaine's feet
02:04in astonishment. Could it really be? Could that boy be Sophia? Let's go. Her friend interrupted
02:11Sophia's thoughts. Let's not stare at the happiness of others any longer. The more we see,
02:18the more envious we will be. Let's go check out the sledding hill. Her friend patted the stunned
02:24Sophia's shoulder, and the rest of Sophia's friends waved, urging her to follow them.
02:30She quickly looked away and forced out a smile. You guys go on ahead. I'll be there shortly.
02:36I forgot I have to make a phone call. Sophia's friends nodded and left. Sophia turned her gaze
02:44back to the loving couple, who were still completely wrapped up in each other. They hadn't
02:49separated for a long time. A cold and resolute smile appeared on her face. Blaine, Zoe, do you
02:57two think you can be together despite me? Don't even think about it. Sophia thought as she quickly
03:03took several photos of them, making sure to get the boy at their feet in the shots as well.
03:09She then turned and slowly walked in the direction of the sledding hill.
03:13As she walked, she dialed Eva's number. Ziva, it's me. Hey, Sophia, is there something you
03:22need me for? Ziva asked, sounding a bit distracted. What are you doing? Sophia acted as if nothing had
03:30happened. I'm with my mom. She had surgery, remember? Ziva told her, sounding slightly annoyed.
03:38Isn't your mother still in the IQ? Sophia asked. Yes, that's right. I'm just watching from the
03:45outside in the hallway. Ziva, you are so loyal. That's why I was surprised by who I just saw.
03:54You'll never guess. Sophia was purposely trying to keep Ziva in suspense. Who? Ziva asked curiously.
04:04I saw your sister and she was holding a child's hand and the child looked just like her. I didn't
04:11know Zoe and Matthew had a son. Sophia asked Ziva, fishing for information. Ziva paused for a moment
04:18before saying, well, since he ran into them, I guess there's nothing for me to hide anymore.
04:25The child isn't Matthew's. My sister's never told us who the father is, so he didn't want me to tell
04:31you about her son. So you're not allowed to tell her I told you anything. If she ever asks, you
04:38just saw them yourself. I don't want to hear her nag. Ziva elaborated, of course. Why would I say
04:47anything? This matter has nothing to do with me. I was just curious. Although Sophia smiled as she
04:55spoke, her usually gentle eyes sparked with repressed fury. Her hand holding the phone turned
05:01white. Zoe had a son and Sophia was sure that Blaine was the father. Did Catherine know of the
05:09existence of this grandson? Sophia wondered if she didn't and she found out what would happen.
05:16At first, she had planned to send Catherine the photos she had taken, but now it seemed that doing
05:22so might actually help Zoe's cause. What if Catherine insisted that they marry and legitimize
05:28her grandson? Sophia's expression turned uglier. You called me because of this, Ziva asked. Of
05:36course not. Of course not, Sophia laughed. I'm hanging out with a group of friends at the Winter
05:42Festival and it's so beautiful. I was hoping I could convince you to come join us. Sophia turned
05:50her head to look at the kissing couple who seemed so happy that they could make one's hair stand on
05:55end. Her cold eyes were unconsciously slightly wet. Come join me. Believe me, you will definitely be
06:04shocked by all there is to see at the festival. Ziva sat in her chair in the IQ hallway and thought
06:10about Sophia's offer. Is it really that beautiful? It would be nice to get out of the hospital for a
06:16few hours. She sighed. Yes, come. Your mother is better now. You spend all day and night with her.
06:24It's time to take some time and relax, Sophia replied. Ziva smiled. Okay. You've talked me into
06:33it, she answered. Great. Then I'll see you shortly. The corner of Sophia's mouth curved into a smile.
06:41All right, then. I'll come over a bit later. I need to check on a few things here at the hospital first,
06:47then change my clothes. Okay. No problem. I will wait for you. Hurry up. Sophia hung up the phone
06:57and then looked back at Zoe and Blaine. A meaningful smile rose from the corner of her mouth.
07:04Then Sophia turned around and headed towards the mountain to join her friends. Zoe and Blaine were
07:10playing in the snow. She was bathed in sunlight and ran away from the snowball he threatened to
07:15throw at her. Zoe was laughing uncontrollably and tripped in her haste. Just as she was about to
07:22smash into the ground, she was caught around the waist by a pair of sturdy arms and she fell into
07:28a firm chest. When she looked up, she saw Blaine's smiling face. He took Zoe's hand, held her, and
07:36spun her a few times in the snowfield in the most graceful way possible. She raised her head and
07:42looked at the man in front of her. Zoe arched her eyebrows and smiled. I thought today was supposed
07:49to be about Max. We don't want to leave him out of the fun. Trust me, Max is fine. He's not missing
07:57out on anything. He's found much better playmates than us and he doesn't need us hovering over him,
08:03Blaine said and pointed to Max following Blaine's finger. Zoe saw Max happily playing with a group
08:10of cute kids in the snow-covered playground. Her eyes grew moist as she looked at the radiant smile
08:17on her son's face. No matter how much fun adults are, there's nothing like kids playing with kids.
08:23Let him enjoy himself, Blaine told her. Zoe blinked, her eyes a tear or two, threatening to
08:31fall. She looked at Blaine, her eyes worried. Max hasn't made a single friend in years other than
08:37the other kids in the hospital who are in the same situation as he is. I have always kept him locked
08:43away inside to keep him safe. Have I been denying him his happiness? You have only done what any
08:52other mother in your situation would. Blaine held Zoe's face as he looked at the tears in the corner
08:57of her eyes and sighed. No parent can stand the idea of their child leaving this world before them
09:03so instead they grab onto whatever they can in an attempt to keep their child safe.
09:11They don't dare to let their child try anything dangerous. They just want to hold the child in
09:16their hands and not let go. So his chest tightened painfully as another tear slipped out. Blaine,
09:24you're not only a good doctor but you'll be a good father. Blaine stroked Zoe's cheek.
09:30I just hope I can perform every role in my life well, he stated. Zoe raised her right hand and
09:36covered his hand with her own feeling touched. Thank you for your consultation and advice. I
09:43needed to hear what you said. I only want to do what's best for Max. Being his mother is the most
09:50important relationship in my life. Blaine lowered his gaze and looked into Zoe's eyes, suddenly
09:57growing serious. He asked, is that all you want out of life to be a mother? He was calm but Zoe
10:05could hear the anticipation in Blaine's question. He locked his eyes onto hers, waiting for Zoe's
10:12reply. Zoe took a deep breath. She looked at him with a sudden realization but remained silent.
10:19Blaine sighed. He didn't want to force her. He just had the nagging feeling that Zoe was
10:25intentionally or unintentionally avoiding his feelings for her. He didn't understand. He took
10:32Zoe's head and pulled her against his chest, letting her hear his powerful heartbeat from the
10:37place closest to it. Perhaps Zoe didn't know that Blaine's heart had only ever beat for her
10:44since they'd met. He wrapped his arms around Zoe even more tightly. What are you afraid of, Zoe?
10:51Blaine finally couldn't help but ask her. Zoe was stunned. She raised her head and blinked,
10:58her eyes looking at his handsome face with a puzzled expression. Blaine raised his eyebrows
11:03and leaned his face close to hers. He asked, can't you feel my feelings for you? A trace of light
11:11flashed in Zoe's eyes and she began to tremble nervously. She wanted to escape from Blaine's
11:17grasp and Zoe turned her head away. She didn't dare to look at him, fearing he'd see the truth.
11:24Zoe had worked so hard to hide Zoe. Blaine stopped her. His voice was cold and he sounded frustrated
11:32as he asked, tell me, why are you hiding from your feelings? Am I that scary? Am I a venomous snake
11:41and a ferocious beast? Why is it that every time you feel my sincerity, all you think about is
11:47dodging? Why don't you dare? Face my heart. Face your own heart. I don't understand what you're
11:55talking about. Zoe stammered, wanting to pull away from his embrace as fresh tears threatened to fall,
12:03but Blaine wasn't willing to let it go this time. He held Zoe's face tightly with his hand
12:09as he stared at her helplessly. Are you willing to take the final step forward for me, Zoe?
12:15As soon as Blaine asked this, Zoe burst into uncontrollable tears. Blaine remembered he
12:21remembered what Zoe had said all those years ago. When Zoe confessed her feelings for him,
12:27she shouted fearlessly, Blaine, even if you didn't want to take that final step, it wouldn't matter.
12:34I would happily take all 99 steps and then that final one to meet you where you stood.
12:41But in the end, Zoe had only had to take 99 steps before Blaine took the final step toward her.
12:48Now he was asking her to do the same for him. I've walked all 99 steps to you, but you always
12:55back away further when I take that final step, Blaine continued. It's so hard when I can feel
13:00your sincerity and you still take a step back. I want to take the last step for you, but you won't
13:06let me. And I'm afraid to and I want to retreat. But you've invaded my heart and soul so completely.
13:15I just can't walk away. Even though I know it will hurt. I keep walking toward you.
13:22No matter what obstacles you throw in our way. Blaine took a deep breath and gazed at her.
13:28Zoe, do you understand? Do you know what I'm saying?
13:33Episode 85. I Love You.
13:37Zoe gasped, her chest so tight it felt like she couldn't breathe. Blaine held her close,
13:43gazing at Zoe as if she was all he could see. It felt like it was just the two of them standing
13:49there when they were surrounded by a large crowd, enjoying the winter festival. Blaine's eyes were
13:55burning with emotion as he looked into hers. Zoe, do you understand? Do you know what I'm saying?
14:03I'm saying I love you. When Blaine said these words, he tightened his arms around her, pulling
14:09Zoe even closer, as if he feared that by admitting his feelings out loud, Zoe would run and he wasn't
14:15going to let her get away. Not this time. If he could, he would have directly embedded her into
14:22his body and merged her into his bones. In this way, she would no longer have anywhere to run
14:29and nowhere to hide. I love you, Zoe. Do you understand? I love you. Blaine pressed his chin
14:37against the top of her head, closed his eyes, and gratefully felt the soft existence in his arms.
14:44Zoe burst into tears. She buried her face in his chest, sobbing uncontrollably. She had longed to
14:51hear Blaine say those three words to her, but Zoe was also afraid to listen to them.
14:57The consequences would be dire. What would happen to them if their love came out in the open?
15:03Suddenly, Zoe couldn't control her emotions any longer. She pulled back and began angrily
15:11shouting at Blaine, why did you fall in love with me? You shouldn't have fallen in love with me,
15:16Blaine. Don't love me. If you love me, you won't be happy. We won't be happy. She reached out to
15:25push him away, tears pouring down her cheeks. Your love shouldn't belong to me. It shouldn't
15:31belong to someone like me. But Blaine wasn't letting her deny him. Why can't it belong to you?
15:38Zoe, give me a reason not to love you. Zoe shouted, I'm a viper, Blaine. I'm a viper.
15:45If you get too close to me, you'll suffer. I can't give you love and happiness.
15:51Zoe tried to push him away again. Blaine reached out and grabbed her chin, forcing Zoe to look him
15:57in the eye. If you think you can't give me happiness, then why did you let yourself fall
16:02in love with me? Blaine hissed at her in a low voice, anger sparking in his turbulent eyes.
16:10I don't love you. I've never loved you, Zoe replied tearfully. Blaine's eyes shrank a few
16:17times as he tightened his grip on her chin. He could see her skin becoming redder beneath
16:22his fingers. He abruptly pushed Zoe back and up against the cold wall behind them.
16:28He placed his arms on either side of Zoe's head, caging her so she couldn't escape.
16:33I don't believe you. Zoe, do you hear me? I don't believe you. If you don't love me,
16:41why did you insist on comforting me when you thought I might have hive?
16:46Why did you take a punch to the face and risk blindness from so-called acid?
16:52Would someone who didn't love me jump in a lake to save the necklace I gave her or cry in a
16:57storeroom the night before my wedding? Would someone who didn't love me make herself sick
17:02with worry? When I went missing in Mexico City, Blaine sneered at her. Tell me, do those sound
17:11like the actions of someone who doesn't love me? Zoe, you're lying. I don't know why you're lying,
17:19but you're lying. Zoe raised her tearful eyes and shook her head back and forth,
17:24pleading with him. No, no, stop. I don't. I don't, Blaine scoffed. Okay, fine. Prove it to me then.
17:34Zoe, swear in my life that you don't love me. Swear to the heavens that you don't love me
17:41and don't care what happens to me, that I could die tomorrow and you wouldn't care.
17:47I will immediately let you go if you dare say such words. But do you dare? The corner of Blaine's
17:54mouth curled up into a cold, knowing smile. You're a madman. So he shouted. No one but Zoe
18:02understood how ruthless Blaine could be. Although he appeared elegant and calm on the surface,
18:08if you dared to provoke him, it would be like pulling the tail of an angry tiger.
18:13Blaine was wild at heart, and once he released that wildness, you discovered that he could be
18:18ruthless in getting what he wanted? Blaine cupped her face and asked with a cold smile.
18:25Zoe, do you dare say it? Why are you making your life a joke? Zoe's eyes sparked as she
18:32angrily grabbed at his hands. I won't play such a silly game with you. Blaine's eyes flared
18:39triumphantly. That's because you don't dare. He took a deep breath, bent down, and gave Zoe a
18:46rough, feverish kiss. Blaine kissed Zoe as if he wanted to consume her. It was as if he was punishing
18:53Zoe for all of her evasion and dishonesty. The angry Zoe struggled in his embrace but could not
18:59escape, ultimately giving in to his kiss as he wantonly bit at her lips and tasted every inch
19:05of her mouth. Blaine pulled away, and Zoe gasped for air. Zoe, you didn't dare swear on my life,
19:13and you have revealed yourself to me, whether you like it or not. Don't think I'm letting
19:18you get away again. You won't even have the chance. Blaine's domineering words clearly contained
19:24excitement and joy. From now on, you must be wherever I am, by my side as my woman. His lips
19:33once again crashed down on Zoe's. Although Blaine's actions were still overpowering, his touch softened.
19:40He kissed her passionately, rubbing her lips using his hot, wet tongue to taste her thoroughly as
19:46Zoe's tears still flowed. Zoe slapped his chest with her right hand in protest. Blaine, you are an
19:53oppressive beast. I hate you. I hate... you. Who wants to be your woman? Who wants to love you?
20:04Zoe protested, but her protests grew more feeble as Blaine kissed her to the point of madness.
20:10It's too late. Even if you don't admit it, it's too late. I won't believe your denials anymore.
20:17Blaine was so overjoyed that he kissed her again, even though the two had already kissed until both
20:23were breathless. Zoe's lips were red and swollen from his ravaging, but Blaine was still unwilling
20:30to let go of her. One of the most wonderful things in the world is embracing someone you love.
20:36This was what Blaine was thinking, but also how Zoe felt nearby on the playground.
20:41The children were still laughing and playing. Max, your mommy and daddy are so weird.
20:47I just saw them arguing, but now they're kissing. Max turned to look at his mom and Dr. Dexter
20:54kissing in the snow. Again. A huge smile broke out on Max's face. He was thrilled his mommy
21:01finally had a boyfriend. The excellent doctor. Dexter was now mommy's boyfriend. Blaine's
21:09cell phone suddenly rang, intruding on their romantic interlude. At first, Blaine didn't care,
21:15ignore its insistent chiming, and continued kissing the woman in his arms.
21:20However, after the ringing momentarily stopped, it started right up again. Whoever it was had
21:28called back, and Zoe couldn't bear to listen to it anymore. She pushed Blaine back and panted,
21:34you should get that. There might be an emergency at the hospital. Only then did Blaine reluctantly
21:41stop. He picked up the phone. It was the hospital calling. He walked a step or two away from Zoe
21:48to talk. Zoe leaned against the wall, gasping for breath. Her gaze, however, was still fixed
21:56on Blaine's mesmerizing face. She still felt like she was in a dream with everything that had just
22:03happened. It was so unreal. Her heart beat chaotically, her lips were swollen, and his
22:09exquisite taste lingered in her mouth. That domineering, I love you, kept repeating inside
22:17Zoe's head on a loop. She couldn't help but blush again as she looked at him with eyes that were
22:22growing hotter. Blaine turned his head back as if he felt Zoe's gaze as they looked at each other.
22:29The corner of Blaine's mouth rose slightly. Then he turned back and spoke earnestly to the person
22:34on the other end of the phone. Do I have to come back to the hospital now? Okay. Right. I'll check
22:42in with you later. Blaine hung up and turned back to Zoe. Blaine leaned over her and silently stared
22:50at her for a long time. Zoe's face flushed under Blaine's watchful gaze with her head lowered.
22:56She avoided his stare and asked, Is there something wrong at the hospital? Yes. Blaine reached down and
23:03took her hand, gently caressing the back of it. His actions were casual but doting, and she could
23:10feel the affection in his gesture. If you don't want me to go in, I won't. After all, I promised
23:18you and Max a day of fun. Blaine was clearly reluctant to leave them. Blaine couldn't bear to
23:24leave Zoe's side. Just the thought of leaving her made Blaine miss her. He had just gotten Zoe, albeit
23:30indirectly, to admit her feelings for him, and Blaine was terrified of her running away again.
23:37Don't worry about us. I understand the doctor's schedule, and so does Max. If they need you at the
23:43hospital, you should go back, Zoe told him sincerely. She had always understood the busy
23:50life of a doctor. Blaine's eyes flashed as he looked at Zoe with a smile. He lowered his head
23:57and gently kissed her forehead. Come back with me. Come to the hospital with me, and afterward we can
24:04eat dinner together before I take you guys back to Max's hospital. Okay? His bewitching words were
24:11like tiny insects that slowly devoured Zoe's defenses and rationality. She could only obediently
24:17nod and agree. Blaine raised the corner of his mouth into a smile. Good. As soon as they got in
24:24the car, Max fell asleep in the backseat after playing for the whole day. He was exhausted. Zoe
24:30held his hand, stroking it affectionately as she watched her son sleep in his car seat, thinking of
24:37what had just happened. The corners of Zoe's mouth curled up uncontrollably into a smile.
24:44Zoe seemed to feel Blaine's gaze on her. She raised her head and saw him glancing at her
24:50through the rear-view mirror. A charming smile on his face. What are you looking at?
24:56She asked him, laughing. Blaine smirked and looked at the road as his smile deepened.
25:02You... Zoe was flustered for a moment before regaining her senses. She reprimanded him lightly.
25:10Concentrate on driving. I'm very focused. Blaine continued to smile, but his eyes remained
25:16attentive to traffic. Everything seemed so surreal. Blaine sighed. It's hard to imagine that we're
25:24back to the beginning after such a long time. Zoe's heart ached at the thought of the pain
25:31she'd put him through. She could feel his emotion for her. Then Zoe suddenly thought of Max and
25:37Mrs. Dexter. Zoe bit her lower lip nervously. Blaine glanced back at her through the rear-view
25:44mirror again and frowned slightly. I've told you many times, don't bite your lips. When Zoe heard
25:52this, she obediently loosened her teeth. Blaine glanced at her again and smiled in satisfaction.
26:01Good girl. Zoe's face immediately turned red as she frowned at him, pretending to be unhappy.
26:08They drove in silence for a while. Blaine broke the silence first. There's something I haven't
26:13been able to tell you. As Blaine said this, he glanced at Zoe in the rear-view mirror
26:20again before returning his eyes to the road. Zoe hesitated for a moment before saying,
26:26Actually, there's something that I haven't been able to tell you from the beginning.
26:30What is it? Blaine asked without looking at her. Zoe couldn't help herself and nervously bit her
26:37lip. Mm, you first. Thank you so much for watching.
