I Walked Away And He Lost His Mind (Zephyra and Steven) novel Chapter 421

Queena?

My heart skipped a beat.

I didn’t care who else was involved in the power struggles, but Queena’s name made my face pale. I couldn’t believe she was in that car crash too.

It seems you really can’t escape fate. She and Steven were tangled up together again.

I was just glad I’d divorced him. Otherwise, that lunatic probably would have tried to kill me a second time.

Things were tough for Steven. I heard Mr. Lancaster Sr. had even canceled his own birthday gala. With Steven in a coma for three days, the old man’s heart ached for his grandson. He went to the hospital to stay by his side, personally shooing away the flock of women hovering around.

Meanwhile, Mr. Sean Lancaster had taken over all of Steven’s corporate duties to prevent chaos.

But even with Sean at the helm, Aether Studio’s stock had taken a significant hit. My former grandfather-in-law, who should have been enjoying retirement, was forced to make public appearances, lest anyone think the Lancaster family was vulnerable and ripe for the picking.

I called Mr. Lancaster Sr. to remind him to take care of his health, and he sighed over the phone.

“Zephyra, my dear, I’ve been swamped lately. Don’t you worry about me, I’m as healthy as a horse. I’ll make up for the welcome-home dinner later. For now, you head home and give my best to your grandfather for me.”

“Of course,” I said. “There’s no rush, Grandpa. Just make sure you get some rest.”

After I hung up, I had no way of knowing that Mr. Lancaster Sr. let out an even heavier sigh before glaring at his unconscious grandson with frustration.

“You foolish boy, you completely broke that girl’s heart. She won’t even come to see you when you’re this badly injured, and she forbade me from sending her off. Hmph, wake up and see for yourself! The only event of yours Zephyra is likely to attend is your funeral!”

“Tell me, why do you do it? You’re clearly in love with the girl, yet you run around taking care of other women. What woman’s heart could withstand that kind of treatment? Now look at you. You came all this way to win your wife back, and instead of getting her, you landed yourself in the hospital. And she doesn’t even want to see you. This is karma, kid.”

“And let me tell you, your wife is with another man now. The whole world knows it. If you take any longer to wake up, she’ll be someone else’s for good…”

Steven lay still with an oxygen mask over his face, his eyes tightly shut. The old man’s lecture went on and on without any reaction from him, until the very last sentence. At that, his finger twitched.
