Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 861

Zephyr was rendered speechless.

If Cordelia made up her mind that she would not have kids anymore, would that not mean… He could not fool around with her in the bed anymore…

Having kids was second—it would be terrible if they could no longer fool around!

What was wrong with him lately? He said something wrong or was close to saying something wrong!

He quickly grabbed her shoulders and whispered into her ear, "That's not what I meant, wifey! I-I mean, I said before that I'd spoil you like you're like my daughter!"

Cordelia chuckled. "Oh, please!"

"I'm serious." He was smiling with his eyes. "In my life, I only want a "daughter" like you…"

"You b*stard!"

Nobody knew when Rowan entered the side palace. Zephyr locked eyes with his father-in-law, who was in disbelief as soon as he lifted his head.

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

Zephyr was at a loss for words.

"How dare you say that?"

Rowan was disinfecting his needles, so he picked one up conveniently in an attempt to stab Zephyr.

Cordelia instantly blocked him and changed the topic. "Dad, didn't you ask us to bring medicine for you? Check if we brought you the correct ones!"

Rowan only stopped and focused on checking the medicines.

He sniffed in an exaggerated manner while checking. He nodded, revealing a happy smile.

"Yes, this is the right one! …Hmm, this is correct too!"

Cordelia could not understand what he was doing.

Zephyr paused and looked around.

It was the inner palace. The pale woman who was lying quietly on the bed was Helene.

Rowan had used acupuncture on a couple of vital points before they came. That was why she was in such a deep sleep.

Meanwhile, the people who were surrounding her…

Zephyr raised his brows. There was a subtle smirk at the corner of his lips.

The few maids were serving Helene, but someone 'kind' might have sent them to serve her.

Therefore, someone was monitoring everything that Rowan was doing.

That might be the reason he had gotten the two of them to send him the medicine. He wanted them to know his current situation and put up a show for those people.

Zephyr could not figure out why Rowan had to put up a show.

However, Zephyr solved the secret soon.

Cordelia asked, "Dad, we brought the right medicines, right?"

"Yes, they're the right ones," he chuckled, "Princess Lene's illness has improved significantly. I've been using acupuncture on her. Together with the medicine, she'll recover even faster!

"But…" He suddenly paused.

Cordelia was stunned. "But what?"

"I'm not sure if I should add something else in." He looked at both of them and intentionally raised his voice. "I'm not sure if I should add cinnabar in, and I don't know how much I should add!"

Cordelia asked while thinking as they were walking. "Dad, did you say that to find out who the mole is?"

Rowan looked at her and sighed lightly. "I noticed that someone has been following me for the past few days. Someone must be giving instructions from the palace's west wing!"

"Could it really be Victoria?"

"We can't conclude that without evidence."

"But what's her objective to be doing that?"

"It's simple." Rowan chuckled. "In Southeast Aciatic, the throne has been passed to women. Her most powerful competitors would be Alexander or her aunt, Helene.

"If I really treated Helene, her chances of getting the throne would drop significantly!"

Cordelia felt a squeeze in her heart. "So… She might have the intention to kill her aunt?"

"That's just my speculation," Rowan said in a deep voice. "I've said that just now. If someone puts cinnabar in Princess Lene's medicine, it'll prove I'm right!"

Cordelia was worried. "Dad, would you know if they added cinnabar?"

"What are you talking about?" He widened his eyes. "I'm very professional, okay? I'd know if and how much was added just by sniffing!"

"Right!" Zephyr smiled. "Don't worry, Cordelia. Dad is a famous doctor. His nose is more powerful than dogs'!"

"You…" Cordelia froze.

This man was smart, so why did he say something so dumb now?

The smile at the corner of Zephyr's lips froze. He looked at Cordelia and then Rowan. He read something from their expressions that were worsening…

He had misspoken again!
