Married a Secret Billionaire

“But I’d be nothing if I wasn’t born in the Hamertons!” Zennie cried.

Cordelia now realized the severity of the issue.

Zennie had been protected so well while she grew up that no one dared say anything in front of her. She was also bright and cheerful, so she definitely would not think about this.

There would be no others except for Phil, who instilled such thoughts in her!

“Don’t think about it like this.” Cordelia held her shoulders. “You’re a wonderful girl. Your light can’t be hidden even if you were not from the Hamertons.”

Cordelia asked anxiously, “You aren’t acting like yourself. Is it because of Phil—”

“Nothing to do with him!” Zennie’s reaction was violent. “It’s none of his business. It’s my problem!”

“Zennie—”

“Get out! I don’t want to hear anything!”

Zennie covered her ears emotionally.

Cordelia was stunned. She was not unfamiliar with a situation like this… When her mother was ill, she was emotional like this, and anything could trigger her as well.

Cordelia’s heart felt like a hand was grabbing it. She wanted to comfort Zennie, but she knew that the latter needed the quiet more than ever at this time.

She recomposed herself and told Zennie softly before she left, “Zennie, don’t give yourself too much pressure… Remember, whatever happens, your family is your best support.”

Zennie kept covering her ears on the bed.

Cordelia sighed and walked out. She was worried on her way back. It was now confirmed that Phil was no good person. To separate Zennie from him, though, might take some time.

She wanted to call Zephyr but saw an unread message when she took her phone out.

No number or name was stated, and there was only a line of text when she swiped on it.

[Remember me?]

Cordelia jolted. Perhaps an abrupt message like this was a wrongly sent one.

Zephyr paused.

“I’ll stay here no matter what it takes,” he answered without any hesitation.

She had long expected this answer because this was the reflection of one’s deep love for another. If Zephyr was hurt, she would also stay outside the hospital ward no matter what it
