Zephyr held Cordelia’s hands to coax her and calmly took her to the street.

The ambulance had stopped just two junctions away from them.

Zephyr and Cordelia hastened their pace and saw that plenty of people had already formed a crowd around the cafe. The paramedics acted quickly with serious faces.

It was to their surprise that Janine was the one hurrying after the stretcher!

“Mom!?” Zephyr could not help shouting.

Janine’s head snapped up to see the both of them and was shocked.

Cordelia was anxious. “Aunt Baker, is it my mom—”

Before she finished her sentence, she saw Xyla walking out of the cafe in one piece.

Cordelia hurried to her to hold her by the arm and scanned her from head to toe, relieved to see that her mother’s gaze was not blank. This meant that her illness had not relapsed.

“Mom, what’s wrong?” Cordelia’s voice was trembling. “D-Don’t… scare me!”

“I’m fine.” Xyla forced a smile and looked at Janine farther away with a discreet shake of her head.
