“I won’t, mom.”

“Cordelia, that’s what I’m leaving you and Carter with…” The calming medicine began to work, and Xyla quieted down. Her consciousness slowly faded out, and her eyes fell shut.

After she fell asleep, Cordelia left the room, laden with thoughts. She looked up and met Zephyr’s deep eyes.

Cordelia looked at him gratefully and said, “Thank you.”

“Is ‘thank you’ still needed between us?” Zephyr sighed with a frown. “Why was William here?”

“I don’t know either.” Cordelia was still frightened thinking about it now.

If Zephyr had not come and if her mother’s illness relapsed, what should she do alone?

“He came in and asked… my mom to give something to him.”

“What is it?”

“Maybe what’s in the box.” Cordelia bit her lips. “Mom values that box very much, but it’s locked, and she has asked me not to open it.”

Zephyr focused and vaguely recalled the box that was in their bedroom. When he saw the pattern on it back then, he thought it was kind of familiar.

Zephyr looked at her seriously.
