Don't Try to Escape, My Wife! novel Chapter 1337

After Zayn entered, he saw his sister sitting on the throne in a lazy posture, looking like a kitten.

"Inez, I've heard you catch a cold. Are you feeling better today?"

Zayn smiled and slowly walked in.

He was so tall that his head blocked some sunlight. It made Phoenix's heart tremble.

She hadn't seen her brother for a few years. He had grown taller. Inez still remembered when she was young, he was skinny and looked like he might die at any time. Inez didn't expect that he would actually survive.

Zayn also had information about Phoenix. When she knew that he was a gay, she did not despise him. Instead, she felt that he had paid too much for love. He didn't want to compete with anyone, but he was forced into this state.

He was quite pathetic as well.

"Thank you, Zayn. You are the only one who cares about me. Even father doesn't care about me."

Phoenix looked down and seemed to be sad.

Zayn looked at his sister and thought of his past.

"He's busy with more important things all day. Why would he care about these? This is the cold medicine that I asked someone to prepare for you. There are no side effects. Drink it. As long as you recover, you'll be more energetic. In this place, if you don't know how to love yourself, no one else will care about you."

Phoenix was slightly stunned.

To be honest, in this palace, she was insignificant. Sometimes, the maids would even forget about her, let alone those brothers and sisters. Now that Zayn had come to her, she was confused.

"Thank you, Zayn. Helen, bring me the medicine."

"Yes, Princess."

Helen walked over, took the medicine from Zayn and handed it to Phoenix.

Phoenix drank without hesitation, which surprised Zayn.

"Aren't you afraid that I will poison you?"

"I am almost forgotten by others. Do you need to trouble yourself to poison me?"

Phoenix sounded agonized.

This was what these children of royal family needed to experience.

Once you were useless, no one would remember you, not even your own father. However, Phoenix knew that she was still being treated as a princess, but those people had other purposes.

Princesses had been set for marriage to another country to consolidate strength.

Phoenix didn't know whom she was going to marry to. But no matter who he would be, she now had someone to rely on.

After all, Samuel was here, right?

However, Zayn did not know what Phoenix was thinking. He couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable when hearing that.

"That's right. People like us can't survive here if we don't work hard to show them how excellent we are."

Phoenix paused slightly.

"Zayn, are you here to form an alliance with me? This isn't a good idea. I'm not interested in your competition for the throne."

Zayn took a seat and looked at Helen. Phoenix immediately understood.

"Leave us."

"Yes."

Helen left.

Only Phoenix and Zayn were left in the living room. Zayn looked straight at Phoenix and whispered, "Inez, I know that you are not quite close to me and it's ridiculous to talk about kinship here. But other than you, I really can't think of anyone that I can turn to."

"Zayn, what happened exactly? Although I'm not interested in your competition, it's better to be loved by a brother than to be alone. After all, I've taken your medicine, haven't I?"

Phoenix blinked. Zayn did not expect her to be so cute.

He was stunned for a moment. Then he laughed.

"It seems that your life in this palace is comfortable."

"I feel more at ease since there's no expectation."

Phoenix's words surprised Zayn a little.

Didn't she have any expectations?

Actually, he was same as her. He left here because he didn't have any feelings for this place back then. But now, he had no choice but to struggle here again.

The bitterness flashed through his eyes, which was seen by Phoenix.

Phoenix didn't have any feelings for these brothers, but because of Nicole, she wanted to get closer to Zayn. Thus, she asked, "What exactly happened, Zayn?"

"Nothing serious. One of my bodyguards was slightly injured. However, he offended Major, the counselor of Mark. I can't help him. Therefore, I want to ask you if there is any vacant room that I can use."

It was said that Zayn had a deep love for Pedro. What exactly was the identity of Trevin, who had suddenly appeared out of nowhere? Inez was very curious.

"Zayn, you should know that children who grow up in our family can't have any friends."

"I know, but he's Pedro's cousin. Pedro died just after they came into contact. I promised Pedro that I would take good care of Trevin. So I hope you can help me."

Zayn could only tell a lie that Trevin was Pedro's cousin. He felt very distressed. He was still using his died boyfriend, Pedro. Zayn really looked down on himself. But what could he do?

At this time, he felt that it might be a good thing for Pedro to be dead. Otherwise, Pedro would probably hate him.

Inez caught the sadness in Zayn's eyes.

She was also moved by Zayn's feelings for that man. Everyone knew that Major might be the illegitimate son of the king, but Zayn had killed Major's mother for Pedro. Because of this, she knew that Zayn's love for Pedro was real. It was reasonable for him to beg her for that, but Inez still felt that the whole thing could not be that simple.

That was fine. She didn't really care about this. As long as Trevin was here, she would naturally be able to find out what she wanted to know.

"You can live your life by your own will and I'm envious of that. If I reject you again, I shouldn't be called as your sister. Besides, I also take your medicine. Alright, bring him in."

Seeing Inez agreed, Zayn finally felt relieved.

As long as Trevin entered Inez's palace, Major would have to reconsider what he wanted to do. Moreover, he had a kind of intuition. Although there seemed to be no rules and disciplines in Inez's palace, it was like a well-guarded fortress. Others might not be able to succeed even if they wanted to enter.

"Thank you, Inez. I owe you a favor. I'll treat you to a hotpot."

"Alright, I'll keep that in mind. You cannot break your promise."

Inez smiled faintly. That smile was bright and showed her politeness.

Zayn asked someone to bring Trevin in.

Inez thought that he was just slightly injured. However, when he was brought in, she saw that wounds were all over Trevin's body and he was covered in blood. His face was even so badly beaten that it was impossible to see his original appearance.

It was a miracle that such a person was still alive.

Inez suddenly became interested about the whole thing.

What did this man do to Major? Why was he treated so cruelly?

Although Major was brutal, he could still control himself in Country F, especially since his identity was unknown. Now he was working for Mark. He didn't dare to go too far. However, looking at Trevin's injuries, Inez thought that Major didn't control himself at all.

Inez fell into contemplation, and her face darkened.

"Zayn, this guard's injuries were not as slight as you said. If he dies here, will you blame me?"
