I Walked Away And He Lost His Mind (Zephyra and Steven) novel Chapter 559

Soon, a grim-faced Steven hurried in. He first checked on me, reaching out to touch my face, his voice cold.

“Are you hurt anywhere else?”

I turned my head away from his touch. “I’m fine. Perfectly fine.”

This was trouble. Steven usually stayed out of the fights between his mother and me. He was indifferent to his parents, but due to tradition, he was still a somewhat dutiful son. When his mother had demanded I serve her or drink fertility tonics, he had generally turned a blind eye.

But this time, his mother was badly injured. She was definitely going to start a fight with me.

I couldn’t afford to have a falling out with Steven right now; I needed to get my hands on his bid information. If we argued, I’d have to be the one to appease him.

So annoying.

Steven’s brow furrowed, his gaze deepening as he withdrew his hand.

Seeing Steven, Mrs. Lancaster immediately started wailing. “Steven! Steven, you should have come to see me first! Zephyra is tough as nails, she’s barely hurt. It’s me! I’m the one who’s seriously injured! This is all Zephyra’s fault! She’s the one who grabbed me and made me fall down the stairs!”

Megan interjected coldly, “Mr. Lancaster, it was Mrs. Lancaster who pushed Zephyra. Zephyra just instinctively pulled her down with her.”

“I didn’t push her! I just bumped into her by accident! Who knew she would just fall like that!” Mrs. Lancaster yelled at her. “This has nothing to do with you! Get out!”

Antonia stood by like a statue, not daring to breathe.

Steven ignored his mother and instead glanced at Megan. “Thank you for bringing them here. Have your father contact me when he has time. You may leave.”

Megan knew it wasn't wise to meddle in family affairs. Her relationship with me wasn't that deep; she had only spoken up out of gratitude for my past help. Since Steven was clearly offering to repay the favor, she didn’t say any more.

I stood up and looked at Megan. “I’ll walk you out.”
