Married a Secret Billionaire by Breaking Wave

Cordelia spent these days accompanying Linda.

It had a serious impact on Linda’s health, and she was to have bed rest. She was usually sleeping and would rest

against the headboard when she was awake, staring outside the window without saying anything. Her pale and

weak state saddened one who looked.

Cordelia passed her chicken soup that was freshly made.

“Linda…” She sobbed a little as soon as she opened her mouth. “Have a little chicken soup. It tastes nice. I added

some dates to make it nourishing and sweet.”

There was no response from Linda. Her lips were cracked from how dry they were.

Cordelia could understand what she was feeling.

Her baby had already been formed, but it did not even get to greet the world. It was said that it was a boy too.

Nicholas liked boys.

Cordelia had also promised her that their children would marry each other in the future so they would become in-

laws.

Everything had become a burst bubble now.

Cordelia’s phone rang. It was Zephyr. She hurried out of the room to answer.

The man’s husky voice always assured her. “Cordelia, how’s it going on your side?”

“Linda’s still the same…”

There was a pause before Zephyr said, “Anyone who encounters something like this won’t be able to take it. The

doctor says that it’s normal for her emotions to swing. Just keep an eye on her, and don’t let anything happen to

her.”

Cordelia hummed in agreement. It was just that she did not know when she would get to go home this way.

Zephyr’s voice was tender. “Cordelia, did you miss me?”

Cordelia chuckled and hummed almost inaudibly.

She actually wanted to go home, seek refuge in his embrace, take a sniff of his scent, hug him tightly, and not let

him go.

Zephyr said softly, “Tell Linda that Nicholas didn’t do her any wrong. We’ve caught Mona, and she admitted to

everything. Nelly’s the one behind this.”

“What!?” Cordelia was shocked.

“Nicholas took his gun and was going to settle the score with Nelly…” Zephyr continued. “Luckily, I stopped him in

time.”

Cordelia was silent.

Zephyr had done the right thing. Nicholas was fuming, and there would definitely be a casualty out of it. Not only

would the Tanners get to the bottom of this, but the law would not let him go either.

She asked him softly, “Zephyr, do you already have a way to punish Nelly?”

“You know something?” Zephyr chortled.

“What is it?”

“When the heavens want someone dead, they’ll let them have the best time of their life first,” he said. “So, wait a

few more days. We’ll make sure Nelly pays the price!”

Both of them chatted for a bit more, and Cordelia ended the call hastily.

When she returned to the hospital ward, she saw that Linda had already gotten up and was quietly drinking the

soup. She forced a smile when she saw Cordelia entering.

Cordelia felt her heart clench for her friend and forced her tears back, afraid that she would trigger Linda’s

sadness.

Despite that, she heard Linda mutter a while later, “Nicholas wouldn’t betray me.”

Cordelia was stunned. “Linda, what did you say?”

Linda looked up slowly. She was pale, but her eyes shone with determination.

“I said, Nicholas wouldn’t betray me. He wouldn’t have an affair!”

“Yes… Yes!” Cordelia was so emotional that she was at a loss for words and gripped Linda’s hand.

She had been thinking about how she should talk to Linda these days. She even thought that she should wait until

Linda accepted the reality that her baby was gone and then counsel her that Nicholas would not cheat…

It was just that the miscarriage was directly related to Nicholas. That was why Cordelia thought of various ways to

phrase it but did not know how to start.

It was a surprise that Linda spoke up first.

“Linda, it’s Nelly Tanner who’s behind this! But don’t worry, Zephyr’s thought of a way to handle her…”

“Why isn’t Nicholas back yet?” Linda asked softly.

“He’s in Royal Manor,” Cordelia reassured her. “I’ll keep you company for now!”

Linda put the bowl down with a bitter smile. She looked up at her and said slowly, “Let him come back.”

“But…”

“Things have already happened. I can’t keep wallowing in sadness!” Linda took a deep breath. “Me being depressed

saddens all of you, people who love me.”

She smiled. “Cordelia, since Nelly Tanner’s the one who hurt me, I’ll personally avenge this grudge!”

…

Mandy had spent three days in the hospital due to her rage that attacked her health. If Rowan had not treated her

with acupuncture, she might have already ended up in the ICU.

“Sigh, you’re elegant and lofty, Mrs. Tanner. How’s your temper so bad!?” Rowan pursed his lips as he kept his

needles. “Can’t you stay calm and composed? Happy now that you angered yourself to a cerebral hemorrhage?”

“Thank you, Mr. Irwin…” Mandy was lying in bed, but she still got up slightly to bow.

“No need for that.” Rowan smiled. “Your daughter’s condition is under control. It’s not improving, but it’s not getting

worse. It’s already the best case.”

“Thank you!”

“If my girl hadn’t asked me, you think I’d treat you all for free?” Rowan huffed in his tantrum again.

Mandy was stunned. ‘What girl? His daughter?’

He was said to be a bachelor, though! How could he have a daughter!?

Someone knocked at the same time.

Before Cordelia came in, her sweet voice rang first.

“Mrs. Tanner, are you feeling better?”

Rowan straightened up and perked up, not forgetting to brush his hair and put on the most loving expression.

“Cordelia, you’re here!” He went up only to be greeted by a wall separating him and the girl.

“Mr. Irwin, how have you been?” Zephyr shook his hand with a smile.

Rowan was disdainful but could not show it in front of his daughter, so he could only shake hands in passing. The

moment Zephyr turned around, he rolled his eyes at his back.

Zephyr went up to greet Mandy. “Aunt Tanner, how are you feeling these days?”

“Thank you for your concern, Zephyr.”

It was already exhausting for Mandy to speak a sentence in her state, forget running the company. Therefore, Nelly

must think that she was worry-free now.

Cordelia smiled and sat by her side. “Mrs. Tanner, you still don’t look too good. Are you worried about the

company?”

“Hah, what company do I have…”

“Not now, but you will have it in the future.” Cordelia patted her shoulder with bright eyes. “Mrs. Tanner, if you don’t

want to see Nelly taking over everything in your family, work with us… Nelly Tanner will pay her dues!”

Mandy’s hand jerked.

“With you? How?”
