“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!
