Chapter 830
Chapter 830:
“So, you were the one who told her about Cristian’s condition?”
“No! I swear!” Amory backpedaled with frantic urgency. “She called, but I didn’t answer! Someone else must have let it slip…”
Fernanda knew Jordyn had long-standing ties to Cristian. It wasn’t unusual for her to have connections within his circle. Jordyn could easily have heard about him through others.
What she hadn’t anticipated was how quickly Jordyn had acted, arriving in Zenithium so soon.
With that thought, Fernanda pushed open the door to the ward.
As the gap widened, the voices inside became distinct.
“Why weren’t you more careful? Look at you, hurt like this…”
Jordyn’s eyes shimmered with tears, her voice laced with what seemed like trembling concern.
“Who did this to you? I swear, I’ll make them regret it!” Jordyn’s anger flared, her hands tightening into fists. “I have to find out who was responsible. Is there no justice left in this city?”
“Don’t trouble yourself, Miss Becker. I already have the names,” Fernanda interjected smoothly, her voice as sweet as honey but sharp as glass.
Jordyn had been so consumed by her distress over Cristian’s injuries and her fury at his attacker that she hadn’t noticed Fernanda enter.
At the sound of her voice, Jordyn startled. She lifted her head, her reddened eyes fixing on Fernanda, and asked instinctively, “What are you doing here?”
“I should be asking you the same question.” Fernanda’s smile was all teeth as she flicked her gaze to Jordyn’s rather intimate posture.
“Getting a little too comfortable with my man?”
Jordyn stiffened. “Your man?”

Her bewildered eyes flickered toward Cristian. “Cristian, you two…” Jordyn had always known Cristian held Fernanda in high regard. His attitude toward Fernanda was different, special. The unspoken closeness between them had always been there. But never, not once, had their relationship been explicitly stated in front of her.
So they were a couple now?
Fernanda’s gaze landed on Cristian, and his dark eyes met hers. The golden hue of the setting sun filtered through the wide windows, casting a warm glow across Cristian’s face. His lips curved slightly.
“Took you long enough, babe. I’m starving.”
Fernanda strode forward with an air of nonchalance, leaving Jordyn scrambling to her feet. Without sparing Jordyn a glance, she asked Cristian, “What do you want to eat? I’ll get it for you.”
Cristian casually listed off a few things, and Fernanda nodded. She could have sent Amory to fetch the food, but she decided to give Cristian some space with Jordyn, as Jordyn must have had a million things to say to him. After all, the revelation that Cristian was now with her hit Jordyn like a bolt of lightning.
