Zephyr pulled a long face as he stared at Josiah with an unsettling gaze.
“Z?” Josiah was smiling, but he was deeply unnerved.
Zephyr really wanted to just say that he did not know him, but he took a deep breath and swallowed his words,
replying with a deep hum instead.
Josiah was confused while Kelly smiled and took the same blinking hair clips from the server. She wore one, and
Josiah wore another, just like Zephyr and Cordelia.
It took a while, but they finally got a table, and the four of them sat together.
“It’s rare to bump into both of you!” Cordelia said with a smile, “Order whatever you want. I’ll buy the meal!”
“No way!” Josiah grinned as well. “Can’t let you spend on us. I’ll do the honors!”
They looked through the menu as they spoke and went through the dishes.
Cordelia was surprised to see Kelly and was very happy that she could be out and about, so she held her hand and

“Are you doing much better recently?
“Do you still go for regular checkups at the hospital?
“Did Uncle Irwin say when you can stop taking the meds?”
Kelly chuckled, her gaze clear like a pool of spring.
“Kelly’s doing better than before.” Josiah wrapped an arm around her shoulder and looked at her endearingly. “I’ve
been accompanying her to the hospital checkups recently!”
“Mm!” Cordelia was genuinely happy for the both of them. “So, the credit’s yours that Kelly’s getting better huh, Mr.
Josiah!”
Josiah scratched his head with a silly smile.
There was a hint of a smile on Zephyr’s straight face as well.
“Josiah’s been frivolous all this while, but this, he’s done well!”
“Z, you’re poking fun at me again!” Josiah glared at him innocently. “I’ve been pretty good at doing things for you!
I’ve been your ex-cellmate!”
Cordelia laughed heartily when she heard the last word.
Kelly was confused and looked at Josiah in puzzlement. “What cellmate?”
“It’s a lot of stories in there! I’ll tell you slowly in the future.”
Kelly smiled and put a piece of foie gras on Josiah’s plate.
“You’d better tell me now. Who knows if I can live until the future?”
“Look at you and your nonsense again!” Josiah was extremely worked up.
Kelly quickly held his hand and rubbed his face like she was appeasing a child.
Cordelia could actually hear that Kelly’s tone just now was not sad or despaired. It was nonchalant and used to it.
Just like how a regular person would talk about eating and sleeping or shopping, death was a common noun in the
first 20 years of Kelly’s life.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThinking of this, Cordelia felt rather sad for the girl.
“Don’t worry, Kelly.” Cordelia consoled her softly. “Uncle Irwin’s the president of Southeast Aciatic Medical
Association. He’s the most famous doctor there and has treated many challenging diseases. You’ll be alright with
him here!”
Kelly smiled confidently. “Right, speaking of Mr. Irwin, he’s rather eccentric.”
“What do you mean?” Cordelia was surprised.
“In the beginning… he didn’t want to treat me because of Nelly. I think he hates her a lot.
“But he agreed to after that.” Kelly pressed her lips together. “My mom thanked him, but he said that he wouldn’t
be there if it weren’t for his girl!”
Josiah chuckled. “His girl? What girl?”
“I guess it’s his daughter,” speculated Kelly.
“But he isn’t married!”
“Can’t he have a daughter if he isn’t married?”
Josiah was at a loss for words.
Cordelia was perplexed as well.
Yeah, she only knew that Rowan was not married, but she did not know if he had any children.
