Married a Secret Billionaire by Breaking Wave

Cordelia had been taking care of Xyla by the bed, but the latter did not seem to get better. The previous treatments seemed to have been wasted effort after William and Yelena came for trouble.

No matter how much it pained Cordelia to see her mother so sullen and dazed, she could only force herself to perk up.

Seth asked the doctor in charge of Xyla in the past and specially asked a psychiatric expert. They came to the unanimous conclusion to switch up the place Xyla was living in.

“Cordelia, perhaps changing the environment will be helpful to her condition,” Seth told her. “I’ve studied many cases that are similar to her condition. Most have differing levels of recovery after a change of environment.

“And she has had unhappy experiences in Jangasas. Don’t let her stay around this place. Changing up the place or lifestyle will be beneficial for her.”

Cordelia sighed and recalled what Zephyr had said the other day. Were they going to Centrolis with him?

“Cordelia…” Xyla opened her eyes and struggled to sit up from her weak state.

Cordelia hurried to help her and added a pillow behind her. “Mom, how are you feeling?”

“Suffocated,” Xyla said softly. “I… I don’t want to stay here anymore. I always remember how William forced me in the past…”

Cordelia held her hand. Her tears nearly fell with the pinch on her nose.

If Marcus had not held her captive, she probably could not have empathized with what Xyla felt. However, that experience enabled her to understand what her mother currently felt.

She was the same, not daring to go to the cafe after so long because she could remember how Marcus had almost assaulted her once she stepped in there.

Cordelia hesitated before asking, “Mom, what do you think if we live in another city?”

“In another city?” Xyla paused. “Where Carter attends university?”

“You want to go there?”

“I…” Xyla’s voice went lower. “I want to be with my kids.”
