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…”
Seth 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…”
