Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 431

Cordelia spent these days accompanying Linda.

It had a serious impact on Linda’s health, and she was to have bed rest. She was usually sleeping and would rest against the headboard when she was awake, staring outside the window without saying anything. Her pale and weak state saddened one who looked.

Cordelia passed her chicken soup that was freshly made.

“Linda…” She sobbed a little as soon as she opened her mouth. “Have a little chicken soup. It tastes nice. I added some dates to make it nourishing and sweet.”

There was no response from Linda. Her lips were cracked from how dry they were.

Cordelia could understand what she was feeling.

Her baby had already been formed, but it did not even get to greet the world. It was said that it was a boy too. Nicholas liked boys.

Cordelia had also promised her that their children would marry each other in the future so they would become in-laws.

Everything had become a burst bubble now.

Cordelia’s phone rang. It was Zephyr. She hurried out of the room to answer.

The man’s husky voice always assured her. “Cordelia, how’s it going on your side?”

“Linda’s still the same…”

There was a pause before Zephyr said, “Anyone who encounters something like this won’t be able to take it. The doctor says that it’s normal for her emotions to swing. Just keep an eye on her, and don’t let anything happen to her.”

Cordelia hummed in agreement. It was just that she did not know when she would get to go home this way.

Zephyr’s voice was tender. “Cordelia, did you miss me?”

Cordelia chuckled and hummed almost inaudibly.

She actually wanted to go home, seek refuge in his embrace, take a sniff of his scent, hug him tightly, and not let him go.

Zephyr said softly, “Tell Linda that Nicholas didn’t do her any wrong. We’ve caught Mona, and she admitted to everything. Nelly’s the one behind this.”

“What!?” Cordelia was shocked.

“Nicholas took his gun and was going to settle the score with Nelly…” Zephyr continued. “Luckily, I stopped him in time.”

Cordelia was silent.

Zephyr had done the right thing. Nicholas was fuming, and there would definitely be a casualty out of it. Not only would the Tanners get to the bottom of this, but the law would not let him go either.

She asked him softly, “Zephyr, do you already have a way to punish Nelly?”

“You know something?” Zephyr chortled.

“What is it?”

“When the heavens want someone dead, they’ll let them have the best time of their life first,” he said. “So, wait a few more days. We’ll make sure Nelly pays the price!”

Both of them chatted for a bit more, and Cordelia ended the call hastily.

When she returned to the hospital ward, she saw that Linda had already gotten up and was quietly drinking the soup. She forced a smile when she saw Cordelia entering.

Cordelia felt her heart clench for her friend and forced her tears back, afraid that she would trigger Linda’s sadness.

Despite that, she heard Linda mutter a while later, “Nicholas wouldn’t betray me.”

Cordelia was stunned. “Linda, what did you say?”

Linda looked up slowly. She was pale, but her eyes shone with determination.

“I said, Nicholas wouldn’t betray me. He wouldn’t have an affair!”

“Yes… Yes!” Cordelia was so emotional that she was at a loss for words and gripped Linda’s hand.
