I Walked Away And He Lost His Mind (Zephyra and Steven) novel Chapter 697

As he spoke, something seemed to cross his mind and he let out a deep sigh. I served him some soup and ate with him. Mr. Lancaster Sr. watched me with a complex yet relieved expression. “After all the twists and turns, it seems fate has finally brought the right people together.”

I didn’t quite understand what he meant, but I smiled in response. After breakfast, Steven still hadn’t returned, and I was thinking of going back to bed for a nap when my phone suddenly buzzed with a text message—

“Zephyra, it’s Rachel, your old best friend. There are some truths from the past I need to tell you. Meet me at the gate right away. Don’t tell Steven. He’s a bad person!”

She sent an address—it was the gate to the old man’s estate.

Rachel.

Myron had told me she was a good friend of mine, and Horace’s friend, too. I hesitated for a moment. I could judge for myself whether Steven was a bad person, but my focus was on the word ‘truths,’ and a strange unease settled in my heart. Finally, I got up and headed outside.

To my complete surprise, as I reached the gate, I saw a beautiful woman on the phone. I recognized her as Rachel at a glance. She had appeared in my dreams, too, but in them, she always died young.

Her hair was in a high ponytail. When she saw me, her eyes instantly turned red. She hung up the phone and rushed toward me.
