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 to comfort 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’ll come to Chaiseland 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 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.
