Chapter 193

At that thought, Veronique subconsciously tightened her grip on the steering wheel.

No way. I can't let Justin know of Zephyr's existence. I have to preserve my final ounce of dignity.

Balling her fists, she rolled up both sides of the windows and slammed on the accelerator, increasingthe speed of the car.

Three minutes later, the red sports car drove into the compound of a mansion.

“Ms. Veronique, you're back!” A maid went forward and took the luggage from her.

Veronique looked around and whispered to the maid, “Ellie, I've found a leukemia expert in the capital,and I've got to bring Zephyr over right away. If someone comes looking for me when I'm gone, tell themwe've gone on a trip, okay?”

Ellie, the maid, was stunned by the news. After returning to her senses, she asked hurriedly, “You'vejust come home. Don't you need some rest? Why don't you stay at home tonight and start your journeytomorrow?”

Waving her hand, Veronique walked into the living room while saying, “It's fine. The expert is anextremely busy person. I've got to take Zephyr to him at the appointed time.”

“Okay. I'll go upstairs to pack Mr. Zephyr's bags.”

Veronique stopped her. “That's not needed too. I've got a friend in the capital. She'll prepare thenecessities for us. I just need you to pack his medicines. Where's Zephyr anyway?”

Ellie pointed at the tiny garden at the side. “He's drawing in the garden.”

“All right. I'll go check on him. Hurry up and bring all his medications over.”

“Okay.”

Veronique followed the path and made her way to the tiny garden behind the mansion.

From a distance, she saw a tiny figure sitting in front of a drawing board, looking as if he was drawingsomething.

Veronique took in deep breaths to suppress the uneasiness within her before strolling forward with asmile. “Long time no see, Zephyr. Did you miss me?”

The little boy stiffened. He instinctively grabbed the duster and erased the drawing on the drawingboard.

Though he reacted quickly, Veronique still caught a glimpse of the drawing.

He seemed to have drawn a few people. There was a man, a woman, and a child.

She called out, “Zephyr—”

He spun around, revealing his face that was handsome with a tint of paleness caused by his illness—itwas a rather sad sight.

“Aunt Veronique, you're back! Why didn't you give me a call? I could've picked you up from the airport.”

The words “Aunt Veronique” left a stinging pain in Veronique's heart.

Dismissing the bitter look in her eyes, she lifted her head and smiled. “I made a trip to the capital afterleaving Hallsbay and met up with Dr. Bern. I didn't tell you earlier because I had no idea when I'dreturn.”

When she finished, she strolled over to him and hugged him. She added, “Dr. Bern Barker has agreedto treat you. He's an expert in this area. I'm sure he can save you.”

Zephyr forced the corners of his lips upward into a bitter smile, which filled Veronique's heart with pity.

“Aunt Veronique, you're a doctor. I'm sure you know there's only one way to treat leukemia, which isbone marrow transplantation. Without suitable bone marrow, even Dr. Bern won't be able to help, nomatter how great his skills are. So, you should stop wasting your time on this,” he said.

Veronique reached out and gently flicked his forehead, scolding, “Don't be so negative. Bern canprolong your life. That'll give me more time to replace suitable bone marrow for you.”

Zephyr's eyes darkened, and he said grimly, “Even my parents' bone marrow wasn't a match. Whatmore can you expect from other people? Aunt Veronique, please stop deceiving yourself.”

“Zephyr—” Veronique raised her voice. Her tone of voice sounded angry.

However, Zephyr quickly hugged her. “Okay, okay. I won't say that anymore. Please don't get angry. It's

just a visit to Dr. Bern's, right? Why don't you get some rest? We can leave for the capital tomorrow.”

“We're going now. Dr. Bern has a strict conception of time. We must not let him wait for too long.”Veronique pulled him toward the exit of the garden.

Right then, Ellie approached from a distance. “Ms. Veronique, I've placed Mr. Zephyr's medicines inyour car. Are you leaving now? I can prepare some food for you. Maybe you should eat somethingbefore—”

“It's fine.” Veronique led Zephyr along the path and arrived at the courtyard. She then opened the doorand settled him at the back of the car. “Ellie, we're leaving now. If something happens, just do whateverI've instructed you to do. Understand?”

“Okay.”

Soon, Veronique drove the car out of the courtyard and took a turn somewhere not far away. She thencontinued driving it slowly along the road that was surrounded by trees.

From afar, she spotted the familiar slender figure on the sidewalk.

I'm sorry, Justin. Some things are meant to be kept a secret, like the incident that night and Zephyr'sidentity.

Right then, Zephyr rolled down the windows. During those brief seconds, he met Justin's gaze.

However, the car sped off like a rocket, leaving only a blurry image in Justin's mind.

Zephyr recognized who that person was.

It's that Medical Genius, Justin Xuereb! Why's he in Salinsburgh? And why is he so near to ourmansion?

“Zephyr, it's windy outside. You should wind up the windows.”

Veronique's voice traveled from the driver's seat, bringing him back to his senses.

“Aunt Veronique, are you and Justin friends?”

The car screeched to a halt, throwing both of them to the front.

Veronique quickly adjusted the gear and smiled. “Sorry. I was too immersed in my thoughts. I hope Ididn't frighten you.”

Zephyr narrowed his eyes and gave her a brief answer to indicate that he was fine. After that, herepeated, “You and Justin are friends, right?”

Hearing that, Veronique slowed the car down. As she fiddled with the steering wheel, she smiled andsaid, “Yes, we are. We were both born in Hallsbay and grew up with the same circle of friends. But wehaven't been in touch recently. Why are you suddenly asking about him? Do you know him?”

Zephyr wound up the windows and answered calmly, “No. I looked into him back then and found thatyou kind of had a crush on him. I just asked out of curiosity.”

Veronique chuckled. “I was young and innocent back then. I didn't know what true love was.”

“Really? I think he's quite outstanding. Both of you would make a great couple. It's a pity that he has afiancée already. I think you should let it go and not torture yourself.”

Veronique's hands turned white from how tightly she gripped the steering wheel.

Zephyr never talks about a person without a reason. Why is he suddenly talking about Justin? Did hediscover something?

Meanwhile, Justin arrived at Veronique's residence, only to be greeted with disappointment.

However, thanks to the maid, he managed to replace out about Zephyr's leukemia.

He wanted to ask more about their whereabouts, but the maid was unwilling to reveal anything. All shesaid was they had gone abroad for a trip.

He continued looking around in Salinsburgh but to no avail. In the end, he had no choice but to returnto Hallsbay to attend Caridee's coming-of-age ceremony.
