Chapter 342
Cordelia paid it no mind and was about to keep her phone back in her pocket when she received
another anonymous text.
[I miss you so much.]
Her heart dropped, and a bad feeling crept over it like vines.
She stood rooted for some time with a nk mind before she took a deep breath. Her throat felt like
it was closing up on its own, and it was awful.
‘Like the previous one, it’s probably sent wrongly,’ she said to herself.
She kept her phone but felt chills run down her spine. She hurried home, pulling her jacket closer to
herself.
At the top floor of the Hamerton Group…
Zephyr stood before the floor-to-ceiling window and overlooked the bustling streets down the
building. His brows were knitted together as an icy glint shed in his eyes.
“Sir.” Robert came in with a knock on the door to report. “Dr. Stafford’s amodation is prepared,
and he reported at the medical center today.”
Zephyr hummed softly in response.
“Dr. Stafford’s a surgeon, but he’s done research in psychiatry and psychology, so the medical
center hopes he can usually do consultations.
“And he met Ms. Zennie after arriving in Centrolis in the afternoon yesterday.” Robert continued to
say, “Ms. Zennie’s mood has improved.”
Zephyr’s furrowed brows slowly smoothened out.
“That’s good,” he replied and turned back to look at Robert. “Cordelia suspects that Zennie passing
out in the mall has to do with Phil Nelson.”
“But…” Robert was confused. “We’ve gone through the surveince cameras. Phil wasn’t around
her at that time.”
Zephyr narrowed his eyes and said softly after a long time, “Maybe the issue lies during their usual
interaction…”
“Mr. Zephyr, you mean?”
“If they’re really dating, they must have texts they sent each other on their phones.” Zephyr wore a
straight face. “Zennie won’t let me look at her phone, so we need to see if we can get our hands on
Phil’s phone!”

“I understand!” Robert nodded firmly.
Zephyr sat back down at his spacious work desk. His calendar showed there was still half a month
to Kate’s birthday party. There was also an “SOS” text from Nichs on his phone.
[Bring Cordelia, and let’s hang out this weekend?]
Zephyr chuckled.
Linda’s hormones had been out of bnce since she got pregnant. Her temper was hot, and
Nichs must be at his wit’s end.
Therefore, Cordelia and Zephyr made their way to Nichs’ ce during the weekend.
Linda was close to the fourth month of pregnancy. Her belly bulged a little, and she looked pink and
radiant. She also grew fuller.
She was so happy about Cordelia’s visit that she suppressed her bad temper.
“The doctor says that I’m well nourished,” she said with a smile. “But I still have to watch out. If I
don’t control what I eat and the baby grows too big, I’ll suffer when I give birth!”
“You won’t.” Cordelia held her hand. “I’ll keep an eye on you so you won’t get too fat.”
The two friends had not met for some time and had endless things to talk about once they did.
As Linda and Cordelia chatted in the bedroom, Cordelia could not help wanting to touch her belly.
“Can I?”
“Of course!” Linda pulled her hand and ced it on her belly.
“I’m not too far along for now,” she said smilingly. “There’s movement sometimes, but not obvious.
It’ll be more frequent when I get further along. You’ll even see a hand or foot pressing against
my stomach!”
Cordelia smiled together. The moment she touched Linda’s belly, there was a strange feeling. There
was a life under the thinyer of skin and flesh that grew from a small seedling to a little baby that
kicked and stretched…
Linda had turned gentle too, motherly love glowing on her.
Cordelia felt a pinch on her nose and could not help the reddening of her eyes. Perhaps, she would
not have such luck in this lifetime.
“What’s wrong?” Linda looked at her.
“Nothing.” Cordelia chortled. “I’m guessing whether it’s a boy or a girl.”
