Cordelia held Linda’s hand and wrapped an arm around her shoulders.
Linda’s life after marriage was blissful, actually. Nicholas personally cooked all three meals per day and prioritized her no matter how busy he was with the company.
Being pregnant, Linda always had the weirdest cravings, but Nicholas would go around Centrolis to buy what she wanted, even when it was in the middle of the night.
Perhaps it was because she had been too blissful that she could not take a single speck of flaw…
Cordelia patted her back and convinced her softly. “Nicholas isn’t that kind of person. You have to think less of it and recall how good he’s been to you!
“Don’t forget he had been wearing that ring since back then! How could such a devoted person have a change of heart?”
Linda was quiet for some time before she nodded lightly.
“He inevitably has to socialize in this industry,” Cordelia said softly. “You both have gone through so much. It’s impossible that you don’t have this level of trust.”
“Cordelia…”
Cordelia smiled at Linda. She knew that she would never be able to put herself in the latter’s shoes when it did not actually happen to her. If it were her, she might not be as calm as Linda was.
As her best friend, however, she could not just watch Linda nitpick things.
“Alright.” Cordelia passed the phone to her. “Send a text. Just say that you’re hungry and ask him home to cook for you. He’ll be running back for sure!”
Linda stared at her before finally breaking into a grin. After she texted Nicholas, she apologized softly, “Sorry to disturb you and Zephyr. Let him know that you’ll be back soon!”
“I’ll have to send you home safely first, anyway!” Cordelia smiled.
The two of them headed for the carpark hand in hand. As they crossed the hospital lobby, they met two familiar faces.
