“I want all of Lukas Welkie’s information and background. The more detailed, the better. Keep an eye on anyone who’s close to him as well!”
Cordelia sighed in relief after that, only to turn around and see all three men looking at her in a stupor, especially Zephyr.
She was confused and went over to check on her husband. “Darling, what’s the matter? Why do you look like this?”
Zephyr smiled and patted her head. “You snatched my lines!”
Cordelia paused before she flushed.
Seth chuckled. “I only know now that two people will really look alike after being together for a long time!”
“Right!” Cordelia joked. “Zennie must be studying harder after spending so long with a scholar like you, huh?”
“No, no, no! It’s different with Zennie and me!” Seth chuckled innocently and explained, “She’s a younger sister. The most we are going to be is matching siblings!”
“You…”
Not only was Cordelia speechless, but even Zephyr looked like he choked and glowered.
“Seth!” Cordelia frantically shot him looks. “How are you still treating Zennie as your sister?”
Straight as a log, Seth had no idea nor did he understand. He answered truthfully, “Zephyr and I are bros, so his sister is naturally my sister!”
“Zephyr, Cordelia, don’t worry! Zennie has been working really hard recently, so it’s no problem for her to get into medical college! I’ve even asked her to do two more papers before I came over today…”
Zephyr pulled a long face. “Seth, you can go back now.”
“Aunt Helen, what are you saying?” She blushed. “I-I’m not…”
“You’re not?” Helen frowned. “That’s not right. I haven’t given birth before, but I’ve seen people being pregnant! I remember a neighbor of mine who had three kids. Each time she was pregnant, she ate and slept so well!”
Cordelia froze and recalled that it had been some time since she had her period. About two months?
Helen asked, “Madam, do you have other reactions? Like nausea?”
Before Cordelia answered, Zephyr got nervous, and his hand on her shoulder clenched.
“Ow!” Cordelia gasped and looked at him. “What are you doing?”
