I Walked Away And He Lost His Mind (Zephyra and Steven) novel Chapter 615

The pen in Steven’s hand fell to the floor with a clatter. His pupils contracted violently as he shot to his feet.

“Are you sure it’s Zephyra?”

The car had been recovered three days ago. A check of the manifest confirmed two people were still missing.

Today, two bodies had been retrieved. They had been in the seawater for days, only just surfacing, and were intercepted downstream. They were bloated and unrecognizable.

The male body had been identified as Harold through a DNA match with his family.

That meant the remaining woman could only be… Zephyra.

Gordon relayed the facts.

Steven’s handsome face went rigid for a moment, then he stated with absolute certainty, “Impossible. Get a DNA test.”

Thomas wanted to ask what the point was—it had to be Zephyra. But seeing his cousin’s expression, he swallowed his words.

His cousin played him like a fiddle. Provoking him now would be suicidal.

Gordon immediately made the arrangements. With Martin Jones in prison, getting a blood sample would be easy.

Thomas left with Gordon, eager to get out of his cousin’s way.

Verna entered with a cup of coffee and saw Steven leaning back in his chair, his well-defined fingers massaging his temples. His eyes were closed, but the exhaustion on his face was palpable, as if he hadn't slept in a long time.

Her expression softened. Before she could even reach his desk, the young man’s dark eyes snapped open, so sharp they seemed to see right through her.

Verna placed the coffee on his desk and said softly, “So, Zephyra’s dead again. You don’t seem very sad, Mr. Lancaster.”

Steven glanced at her. “Who told you she was dead?”

Verna looked at him. “Under these circumstances, is there any chance she survived?”

Steven didn’t answer. He steepled his fingers on the desk and looked up at her.
