When Cordelia rushed to the hospital, she saw Zephyr and Kate waiting at the emergency room’s entrance.
“How’s she?” she asked with concern.
He pulled her aside and whispered, “We don’t know the exact situation. When I got the call from DL’s manager, they said she fainted at the shopping mall and rolled from the stairs.”
Cordelia felt a squeeze in her heart.
“Why was she at the shopping mall?” she asked.
Zephyr was stunned. He did not think too much about it. “Isn’t it normal for a young lady to go shopping sometimes? Moreover, she’s DL’s VIP. She’s a frequent customer there.”
“I mean…” Cordelia hesitated and frowned.
She was not sure whether Zennie passing out had anything to do with Phil, but that indeed happened after they left Royal Manor.
“What’s wrong, Cordelia?”
“There’s something that I want to tell you.” She pursed her lips with a complicated look in her eyes. “We better find somewhere there’s only the two of us. Don’t let Aunt Cloud know about this yet—”
Before she was done, Kate ran over and screamed, “She’s awake! Zephyr, your sister…
“Cordelia, you’re here too?”
“Yes.” Cordelia nodded.
“Is Zennie alright, Aunt Cloud?”
“She’s fine.” Kate’s eyes were red. “She hit her head and got three stitches.”
Cordelia bit her lip. She could not help but feel sad.
“Can we go in to see her now?”
“Not yet. The doctor said we’d have to wait.” Kate shook her head and forced a smile. “This girl’s clumsy, I’ve told her many times. See, she fell really hard today! It’s good that this happened. This ought to teach her a lesson!”
Could it be that she thought such a family was too much that she did not want to marry him anymore?
He felt a chill down his spine when he thought of that. Cold beads of sweat were dripping from his forehead.
“I’m thinking…” Cordelia lifted her eyes to look at him as she said gently. “It must have been quite difficult for you to live in such an environment since you were young.”
He squinted. He could not help but feel happy. Did she sympathize with him?
He instantly went with it and caressed her hand. “It’s quite hard. That’s why I appreciate you even more after we met.”
Cordelia looked determined. “I’ll take good care of you!”
Zephyr was stunned. He could not help but laugh.
Cordelia had sworn that she would take care of him for the rest of his life when they were in Jangasas.
