Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 341

Zephyr paused.

“I’ll stay here no matter what it takes,” he answered without any hesitation.

Cordelia smiled. She had long expected this answer because this was the reflection of one’s deep love for another. If Zephyr was hurt, she would also stay outside the hospital ward no matter what it took.

In spite of it, Phil just left after his moving confession—like everything just now was just a show.

Zephyr’s heart squeezed. The moment he met Cordelia’s eyes, he understood it.

“I knew it. Phil Nelson isn’t reliable!” he said angrily. “Zennie will suffer if she continues falling like this!”

“Calm down first.” Cordelia comforted him softly. “It seems like Aunt Cloud doesn’t know about their relationship yet?”

“She won’t ask too much even if she does,” Zephyr answered with a dark expression. “She’s an advocate for free love and hates that her child will become a sacrifice for the family's interests.

“But Phil and Zennie are worlds apart. They won’t be fruitful.”

Cordelia bit her lips. “Zephyr, what I’m most worried about is that… Phil isn’t sincere about Zennie. He wants to use her.”

Zephyr nodded.

“I hope that I’m the one who overthinks,” said Cordelia. “But what if!? Let’s be more cautious so that Zennie isn’t taken advantage of.”

Zephyr recalled what had happened in Jangasas.

Ever since Marcus escaped, he had gone through all the surveillance recordings of the junctions. The black car without registration plates had vanished from the surface of the earth in the end.

He had suspected the vague picture of the driver from the surveillance clip. A black cap revealed half of a face that was pale and thin—if Phil’s face was blocked from his nose up, he actually matched that face.

It was just that Zephyr did not dare conclude it rashly and ordered to investigate more, but nothing came back.

He had also looked into the Nelsons, but even Clark said that all three generations of those who worked in Hamerton Manor were dutiful, honest, and hardworking people.

‘Hah, dutiful? If Phil was dutiful, how would he possibly get involved with Zennie!?’

Zephyr clenched his fists with a frown. There was a dark look on his sculpted face.

Cordelia said softly, “Zephyr, girls go all in when they fall in love. Even if you want to separate them, do it slowly. Don’t hurt Zennie.”

“Mm, I know.”

“It’d be best if there’s something or someone to distract her now…”

Cordelia’s reminder sparked a thought in Zephyr. He could ask Seth to come to Centrolis. The latter could still be a doctor and keep Zennie company.

Everything would be resolved then!

…

Cordelia specially made cranberry cookies and boba tea to bring to the hospital ward for Zennie.

“I remember that these are your favorite.” Cordelia smiled and placed them on the cabinet before she sat down and held Zennie’s hand.

It was not long into fall, but Zennie’s hand was cold like ice.

After a few days of rest, the stitched wound on her head was no longer swollen, but she looked awful. She was pale and forlorn with a depressed gaze. There was no sense of life at all.

Cordelia jolted. What she looked like… was really growingly similar to Phil’s pale and gloomy face! There was really some truth in the saying, “Birds of a feather flock together.”

When one was with someone exuding negativity, one would naturally be drained and no longer have a sense of themselves.
