“You…” Zephyr stroked Cordelia's belly and smiled. "Just focus on delivering our son and yourself!"
"Mm." Cordelia smiled. "Hopefully, all this annoying stuff will be over by the time he's out here."
"They will be. Honey, don't disclose anything and let Trinity know to keep it all in for the time being. Don't fall out with Ava!"
"I know!" Cordelia thought of something and added, "Darling, you must look into the account that Hannah uses with that man. It's the most crucial piece of evidence!"
Zephyr's gaze was gentle as he pressed a kiss on her forehead. "Got it, darling dearest!"
…
Hannah's right eye had been twitching these days, and she felt anxious and distressed. She asked Ava, "Ava, what does it mean when your eye twitches? What do the left and right mean separately?"
Ava was busy with a facial mask and did not have time to entertain her.
Hannah's temper flared. "I'm asking you a question, and look at how indifferent you are! What? Not yet a big celebrity and already thinking you're a big shot? Who's the one making who you are today!?"
"Gosh, stop nagging. It's all thanks to you, okay!?" Ava yelled impatiently, "Left eye for fortune and right eye for disaster! Your right eye has been twitching the whole day. Doom is coming for you!"
"Get out!"
Hannah had been in a bad mood, and it only worsened with what she heard. She pulled her slipper to toss it at Ava and nearly got the latter's face.
Ava cried and yowled, calling her mother unreasonable and grumbling lots more, before she retreated to her own room.
Hannah threw herself on the couch and panted with a heaving chest. She carefully recalled when these symptoms started for her—difficulty in breathing, a sense of suffocation, feeling ill, occasional nausea…
Right, it was after she went to Cordelia's place!
Ava knew that she was up to no good looking at her sneaky behavior and lowered her voice to ask next to her ear, "Going to Uncle Chuck?"
"Shut up!" Hannah was like a deer caught in headlights.
She looked around and threatened Ava, "Don't tell anyone! If that fool asks about it, say that I'm out shopping. Bring up half a word about Uncle Chuck, and I'll skin you alive when I'm back!"
"Okay, okay, my lips are sealed." Ava rolled her eyes. "Hah, when haven't I known when you went to him in the past? I've never seen you so nervous!"
"Shush, why are you still on about it!?"
Hannah glared at Ava and warned her some more before she hurried out the door.
She had to ask Chuck about it and tell him she was not there to be jealous. She wanted to find out about that woman because this was related to the life and death of both of them.
