Chapter 693
There was no difference in how Zephyr acted and looked in the consecutive days without Fredric’s
news, but Cordelia knew the turmoil he was in. She did not know how tofort him. The man wanted
to be strong so much that he had never brought along any negative emotions to her. He was always
the gentle and smiling husband before her. It was just that Cordelia’s heart ached every time she saw
him smile. She could see the fatigue in his smile. Neil called Cordelia to tell her he would return to
Southeast Aciatic for a holiday and visit her parents. Cordelia’s response was lukewarm and distracted.
“What’s gotten into you?” Neil chuckled. “You sound listless. You don’t have prenatal depression, do
you?” “Nonsense!” Cordelia then told him about everything that had transpired these few days. Neil
was quiet for a moment before he answered softly, “I’lle to Chaisnd tomorrow.” Cordelia was
shocked. “For Trinity? I think you better not. She’s—” “It’s exactly because of this circumstance that I
have to be by her side!” Neil was determined. “But—” “But I should be gloating?” He chuckled. “Cousin,
don’t underestimate me. I don’t like Constable, but his life is at stake. I think I should still do what I can.”
“How?” Cordelia was stunned. “I’ll bring a few men over. They’ve gone through strict military training in
Southeast Aciatic and have very advanced equipment. Looking for someone will be easy for them! “I’ll
bring some meds over too.” Neil added softly, “He’s stabbed. There might be side effects if he hasn’t
received proper treatment. The Irwins’ medicines are great, you know?” Cordelia was moved and at a
loss for words. “No need to say more!” Neil chuckled brightly. “It’s not like I’m doing this for him!” It was
not for Fredric but for Trinity. Neil was going to help Trinity through this. He knew that she would not be
able to live with herself if anything happened to Fredric. Even if she had let go of Fredric, he was
someone she used to like. Neil could understand and tolerate it. Actually, he was like Trinity
sometimes. Once they set their minds on something, they would not let it go easily. … “Hey, don’t fall
asleep. Don’t sleep! “Fredric, are you okay? Talk to me. Stop being groggy! “Just the year beforest
year, ady in the basement next door was stabbed too. She went to sleep when she came back and
never woke up again…” Fredric’s eyes were heavy, but he was quite conscious. It was simply because
his wound hurt too badly. The excruciating pain kept him from falling asleep. The antipyretic had
probably worked too as he was soaked in sweat and his temperature slowly dropped. He opened his
eyes sometimeter and saw Aurelia lying on the floor, curled up. He made some noise, and Aurelia
straightened up abruptly to feel his head. “Oh, goodness, thank goodness!” She wore a relieved smile.
“You’re not burning anymore! “I don’t have to buy you antipyretic from tomorrow onward!” “You…”
Fredric chuckled dryly. “You’re happy because you get to save.”

“Of course!” Aurelia dipped a cotton swab into the water and dabbed it on his lips. This was a kind girl.
She simply had to count every penny due to her circumstances. Fredric asked softly, “Aurelia, why
aren’t you sending me to the hospital or letting me call the police?” Aurelia stopped what she was doing
and bit her lips. Endless silence spread over the small basement room. Suddenly, a thought sparked in
Fredric’s head. She disallowed him to call the police because she was afraid of the police finding out
about her… He had been stabbed and had been so coincidentally saved by her—and she was so
scared of the police! Fredric frowned and questioned, “You… Are you and those who robbed me
together?” “Huh?” Aurelia was astonished as she waved quickly. “No, no! Cut it out!” “Then why?”
Fredric could not figure it out. Aurelia grabbed the hem of her clothes, her gaze toward him now more
complicated. “Just, you can’t call the police.” Her voice was soft, but the insistence was clear. “It was a
coincidence that I saved you. If you have to suspect me, I can’t help it. But I won’t send you to the
hospital or help you call the police! To be honest, I’m not sure if you can recover either. I’ll do my best
to take care of you. But whether you survive or not depends on the heavens. I can’t do anything!”
“Aurelia, you—” “Alright, I’ll get changed to go out now!” Aurelia looked at him. “Can you close your
eyes?” Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated For All Books Updates… The room
was too small, and she usually lived alone, so she could change without care. Now that there was a
man and no ce to put up a curtain, she could only hope for the man to be self-aware of things like
this. Fredric looked up and met Aurelia’s clear eyes, seeing that her hands were already holding the
hem of her T-shirt. He pressed his lips together and closed his eyes obediently. When he opened them
later, he was amazed by what Aurelia looked like. She had changed into a long maxi dress with a
bohemian-style skirt withrge floral prints. Each step she took felt lively. Aurelia left him some water
and medicine and ced half a bun by the bedside, locking the door securely as she left. Fredric could
not move on the bed, and the basement was so stuffy that it was suffocating. This was the first time he
felt so helpless. This was also the first time he felt like his life depended on others. He closed his eyes.
He had lost too much energy these few days and had to replenish it. When he somehow fell asleep, he
seemed to see Trinity in his dream. She looked at him begrudgingly and questioned why he did not
contact her. Fredric pulled his shirt up to show her the wound, but the stab wound had strangely
disappeared, and he waspletely fine. The next second, Trinity vanished. He panicked and looked
for her everywhere, only to hear a sweet voice. “Hey, look what I got you! Your wound will heal without
a scar with this!”
