Chapter 418


    Cordelia held Linda’s hand and wrapped an arm around her shoulders.


    Linda’s life after marriage was blissful, actually. Nichs personally cooked all three meals per day


    and prioritized her no matter how busy he was with thepany.


    Being pregnant, Linda always had the weirdest cravings, but Nichs would go around Centrolis to


    buy what she wanted, even when it was in the middle of the night.


    Perhaps it was because she had been too blissful that she could not take a single speck of w…


    Cordelia patted her back and convinced her softly. “Nichs isn’t that kind of person. You have to


    think less of it and recall how good he’s been to you!


    “Don’t forget he had been wearing that ring since back then! How could such a devoted person


    have a change of heart?”


    Linda was quiet for some time before she nodded lightly.


    “He inevitably has to socialize in this industry,” Cordelia said softly. “You both have gone through so


    much. It’s impossible that you don’t have this level of trust.”


    “Cordelia…”


    Cordelia smiled at Linda. She knew that she would never be able to put herself in thetter’s shoes


    when it did not actually happen to her. If it were her, she might not be as calm as Linda was.

    As her best friend, however, she could not just watch Linda nitpick things.


    “Alright.” Cordelia passed the phone to her. “Send a text. Just say that you’re hungry and ask him


    home to cook for you. He’ll be running back for sure!”


    Linda stared at her before finally breaking into a grin. After she texted Nichs, she apologized


    softly, “Sorry to disturb you and Zephyr. Let him know that you’ll be back soon!”


    “I’ll have to send you home safely first, anyway!” Cordelia smiled.


    The two of them headed for the carpark hand in hand. As they crossed the hospital lobby, they met


    two familiar faces.


    “Mom!” Nelly went to hold Mandy’s arm obsequiously, but thetter pushed her away soundlessly


    with a nk face.


    “Mom, I’ll go to the doctor with you!” Nelly smiled. “I’ve always been concerned with Kelly’s


    condition. Actually, I—”


    “I’ve told you!” Mandy red at her. “You don’t have to be concerned with Kelly’s matters!”


    “But she’s my younger sister…” Nelly looked pitiful with reddened eyes. “Mom, I’ve been her big


    sister for over 20 years. In recent years, especially, I’ve been looking after her. Just cutting me off


    from her like this upsets me…”


    Mandy was irritated.


    People walked in and out of the hospital lobby, and this was the best private hospital in Centrolis.


    The people who went to this hospital were notable figures in the city. Kelly and Nelly’s identities


    would be exposed if they were to run into anyone.


    Mandy looked up and saw Cordelia and Linda. She took a deep breath and held back her


    resentment for Nelly to force a smile.


    “Ms. Jenner!” She greeted Cordelia.


    Cordelia nodded politely and intentionally avoided meeting Nelly''s eyes when she saw her.


    “Are you feeling ill?” Mandy asked in concern. “I’m familiar with a few specialists in the hospital. I


    can—”


    “Thank you, Aunt Tanner,” Cordelia said softly. “I’m not feeling unwell. I’m here with my friend for her


    antenatal examination.”


    “Oh!” Mandy smiled. “This is… Mrs. Thompson? Mr. Thompson’s entertainmentpany has been


    doing so well. You must be a great help. I’m envious!”


    Nelly nced at Linda’s belly and trained her gaze there.


    Everyone’s happiness was an eyesore to her now. She gripped her fists with a smirk.


    “Ms. Jenner, we’ll excuse ourselves now.” Mandy looked at both of them. “See you again.”
