Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 531

Zephyr held Cordelia’s hands to coax her and calmly took her to the street.

The ambulance had stopped just two junctions away from them.

Zephyr and Cordelia hastened their pace and saw that plenty of people had already formed a crowd around the cafe. The paramedics acted quickly with serious faces.

It was to their surprise that Janine was the one hurrying after the stretcher!

“Mom!?” Zephyr could not help shouting.

Janine’s head snapped up to see the both of them and was shocked.

Cordelia was anxious. “Aunt Baker, is it my mom—”

Before she finished her sentence, she saw Xyla walking out of the cafe in one piece.

Cordelia hurried to her to hold her by the arm and scanned her from head to toe, relieved to see that her mother’s gaze was not blank. This meant that her illness had not relapsed.

Despite that, she looked pale and weak, like a sheet that would break with one poke.

“Mom, what’s wrong?” Cordelia’s voice was trembling. “D-Don’t… scare me!”

“I’m fine.” Xyla forced a smile and looked at Janine farther away with a discreet shake of her head.

Janine understood instantly. She knew that Xyla did not want Cordelia to find out about her birth for the time being.

Hence, she moved forward to pat Cordelia on the shoulder with a smile. “Cordelia, we’re both fine… That’s… Mr. Irwin.”

“Huh?” Cordelia’s eyes widened even more.

“Well… it’s a coincidence.” Janine racked her brains with a scratch to make something up. “Your mom and I were having afternoon tea here and ran into Mr. Irwin. It’s a coincidence that… he had a heart attack!”

Xyla glanced at her best friend helplessly with a frown.

“Mr. Irwin has a heart problem? Why didn’t I know?”

“Oh well, it’s a common disease among old people. It’s normal!” Janine was in a hurry to send them off. “Alright, stop staying around! Cordelia, your mom, and I will send Mr. Irwin to the hospital now. Get us something to eat!”

…

Xyla sat by Rowan’s bed sullenly in the hospital. The past replayed in her mind, scene after scene. If it had to be described in a color, their past must definitely be romantic violet.

She liked peach blossoms, so Rowan had planted them all over the garden and taken care of them personally regardless that Southeast Aciatic did not have the suitable climate for the plant.

She did not like hiking, so Rowan opened up a path specifically for her to have a comfortable walk, allowing her to enjoy the scenery as she went up the hill.

She loved diving, but Rowan was worried for her safety, so someone so scared of water like him had pushed himself to get a diving certification within a year and went diving with her…

Later, though, the man who loved her and indulged her disappeared. The romantic violet turned into stormy black and tore her into pieces.

The last time they had met seemed to be so long ago. At that time, they had promised each other in tears that they would never meet again and would leave each other in their past.

It was unexpected that their sudden meeting would turn out to be this…
