I Walked Away And He Lost His Mind (Zephyra and Steven) novel Chapter 867

Mary was practically bursting with rage. “You little brat, have you no manners? I’m your elder!”

Rachel didn’t back down. “Oh, please, you old hag. Don’t try to guilt-trip me. If you want respect, you have to earn it first! As long as I’m here, no one is going to bully Zephyra!”

Thomas touched his stinging cheek. “Zephyra, I guess I’ve been too nice to you. How dare you hit me.”

He tried to lunge at me again, but Gordon held him back firmly.

My fists were clenched, my eyes cold as ice as I stared him down. “I hit you because you deserved it. Who gave you the right to curse him? Without Steven, would you be living so comfortably as a Lancaster heir? The family might not even exist anymore!”

“How could you be so cruel to your own brother?” my voice trembled with a mixture of anger and sorrow.

Thomas sneered, his eyes bloodshot. “He was just born before me! If I were the eldest, he never would have had a chance!”

You were shaking with fury, shouting, “Thomas, take a good look in the mirror before you speak! You’re nothing compared to Steven!”

Thomas’s eyes widened as if they were about to shoot flames. “Say that again!”

“I said it. What are you going to do about it?” You met his gaze without flinching.

Thomas threatened, “Zephyra, I suggest you behave! You’re not part of the Lancaster family, so our affairs are none of your business! Let me tell you, Steven is lying in the ICU. If he needs emergency care again, I’ll be the one to sign the forms to let him go, and all you’ll be able to do is watch!”

“So, be nice to me. Otherwise, there’s no telling how long Steven has left!”

Thomas finished with a provocative glare.

I wanted nothing more than to slap him again. “You wouldn’t dare!”

I said it, but a knot of fear tightened in my stomach. The first surgery happened because Steven’s family wasn’t present. If there was a next time, things could be different.

A wave of dizziness washed over me, and I grabbed a nearby chair to steady myself.

Seeing this, Rachel let go of Mary and rushed to my side. “Zephyra, are you okay? Don’t let him get to you!”

Then, she shot a furious look at Thomas. “Zephyra is carrying Steven’s child. She has every right to make decisions for him!”

Her words stunned Thomas and Mary into silence. They exchanged a look.

Mary’s voice was cold. “Steven is in a coma. Who’s to say that’s his child? You two are divorced, and we all saw how you treated him. For all we know, you got pregnant by someone else just to get back at him.”
