Cordelia was in deep thought for a while. After that incident at home last time, it seemed like it had been a while
since she had news about Phil.
“I don’t know if he’s in Centrolis,” she replied honestly. “But he’s a long-term employee in Hamerton Manor and has
a lot of work daily. It’s quite impossible for him to leave his job?”
“Oh.” Seth nodded. “Zennie hasn’t met this person recently, so I thought he had already left Centrolis.”
“Dr. Stafford!” Cordelia quickly said, “Even if he’s appeared, you can’t let him meet Zennie!
“Zephyr and I don’t want Zennie to keep interacting with him. He’s too dangerous!”
Seth contemplated and nodded after a beat.
His assistant ran over at this time and told him nervously, “Ms. Hamerton is awake, but she isn’t doing very well
mentally…”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSeth rushed to the consultation room right away.
Cordelia followed him and watched him run upstairs. The moment he entered the door, Zennie quieted down and
looked relieved.
Seth did a simple checkup for her and chatted with her with a smile after confirming that she was alright. His smile
was warm, like the sun in winter that could repel all the fog.
Cordelia felt moved as she stood outside watching. She did not know how long it had been when Seth came out,
closing the door softly behind him. He smiled and sighed, seeing that she was still there.
“It’s fine,” he said softly. “She had a counseling session with me here and probably hasn’t had a good sleep for
days, so she fell asleep on the couch. She panicked when she woke up and took in the unfamiliar environment, so
she screamed.”
Cordelia was worried. “Is Zennie’s condition so bad?”
“It’s not exactly bad.” Seth shrugged. “When she’s in school and studying, she’s doing very well! She also told me
that she wants to attend a medical university and would like to become a doctor like me.”
Cordelia looked moved. “Seth, thank you for going through the trouble during this time.”
“Nothing like that! She’s Zephyr’s younger sister, so she’s my younger sister too. I’ll take good care of her!”
Cordelia thanked him again. Her phone buzzed as she pondered if she should tell Kate about Zennie’s current state.
Robert’s voice came from the speaker. “Ms. Cordelia…”
“What is it?” Cordelia’s heart lurched. “Did something happen to Zephyr?”
“No.” Robert paused. “It’s Aunt Helen.”
Cordelia’s heart dropped.
“Aunt Helen’s in the hospital now. Will you be able to come?”
…
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmCordelia rushed to the hospital.
Zephyr was seated in the emergency ward with a grim expression.
She went over to sit next to him and hold his hand. The iciness of his fingers shocked her. The man’s hands had
always been warm and secure in her impression.
She asked shakily, “Zephyr, what happened?
“Is Aunt Helen… in the emergency ward?”
Zephyr cast his eyes down and nodded.
Cordelia gripped his hand.
When the light above the door went out, the doctor came out.
“Don’t worry, Mr. Zephyr. She’s safe. No problem at all.”
Zephyr’s voice was hoarse as he asked, “Will there be any side effects?”
“No,” the doctor answered confidently.
Only then did Zephyr relax a little from how tense he had been.
“Doctor, what happened to Aunt Helen?” Cordelia asked in worry.
