“Don’t look at me like that. When I was leaving with Jayleen, I saw someone capturing Yerick’s men. That’s why I waited for you here,” Nadia explained, quickly discerning that Cynthia was doubting her story.
“What if I hadn’t returned?” Cynthia asked.
In that final moment, without Joshua’s preparedness, she was not sure she could have made it back.
“That’s not possible. You’re my mentor, after all,” Nadia confidently stated.
Cynthia remained silent
She got up and fetched two glasses of water, one for Nadia and one for herself.
“Um..” Nadia hesitated.
Cynthia arched an eyebrow. “If there’s something you want to say, say it. ”
“What are you planning to do with the child you’re carrying?” Nadia scratched her head. Ever since she discovered that the stunning Cynthia was her mentor, she had felt an unconscious need to care for her. “You and Joshua are divorced. If you have the baby, he won’t try to take it, will he?”
Cynthia was taken aback. “What child?” Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
“This one.” Nadia gestured naturally toward Cynthia’s stomach
Cynthia said nothing.
Having no need to lie anymore, she let her guard down.
Seeing Cynthia’s silence, Nadia assumed she was considering the matter, “Do you want to keep it?”
“I’m not pregnant. There’s no question of wanting or not,” Cynthia admitted frankly. Since Yerick had been apprehended, there was no need to be cautious about such matters.
“That’s impossible! Jayleen told me herself. I even checked,” Nadia immediately contradicted.
That was the only way to let Yerick believe that she had a child.
“What you discovered was only what I wanted you to know. As for Jayleen, she’s been working with me ever since Verick sent her to kill Joshua”
Nadia was left dumbfounded.
She began to question everything she thought she knew. “Yerick said that Jayleen was the least likely to betray him.”
That was why Yerick was so infuriated when he found out Jayleen’s phone system had been locked.
He could not accept Jayleen’s betrayal.
“He was mistaken, Jayleen is the one most likely to betray him. She didn’t because she didn’t have the resources, and she was also threatened,” Cynthia began, her voice steady.
“What happened between them?“ Nadia was somewhat curious,
She did not know much about Yerick’s personal affairs and dared not pry. At most, she would come across some information when Yerick asked for her help in searching for information.
“I don’t know,” Cynthia responded curtly.
“That doesn’t sound right. Given Yerick’s nature, if he knew Jayleen had betrayed him, there’s no way he would have let her go. When you magnanimously let Jayleen go, shouldn’t he have suspected something?” Nalia realized a key point she’d overlooked.
“He couldn’t have guessed,” was all Cynthia sald.
“Why not?” Nadia asked.
Cynthia did not respond
In Yerick’s view, Cynthia was K, still working under the Captain. As members of the organization, their main duty was to follow orders, and they had a responsibility to protect people, so he had no suspicions
“Thanks for helping Jayleen. Given that you didn’t commit any substantial mistakes and saved people at the last moment, I won’t have you arrested. However, if you create trouble again, I won’t show mercy,” Cynthia said, her mind occupied with issues between Joshua and Sean.
“Mentor, how can you be so heartless? I’m still your mentee, after all.”
Nadia kept grumbling
Cynthia went to her study, planning to research something on her computer. Before starting, she told Nadia, “Don’t let your desires get the better of you.”
