Don't Try to Escape, My Wife! novel Chapter 1337

After Zayn entered, he saw his sister sitting on the throne in a lazy posture, looking like a kitten.

"Inez, I've heard you catch a cold. Are you feeling better today?"

Zayn smiled and slowly walked in.

He was so tall that his head blocked some sunlight. It made Phoenix's heart tremble.

She hadn't seen her brother for a few years. He had grown taller. Inez still remembered when she was young, he was skinny and looked like he might die at any time. Inez didn't expect that he would actually survive.

Zayn also had information about Phoenix. When she knew that he was a gay, she did not despise him. Instead, she felt that he had paid too much for love. He didn't want to compete with anyone, but he was forced into this state.

He was quite pathetic as well.

"Thank you, Zayn. You are the only one who cares about me. Even father doesn't care about me."

Phoenix looked down and seemed to be sad.

Zayn looked at his sister and thought of his past.

"He's busy with more important things all day. Why would he care about these? This is the cold medicine that I asked someone to prepare for you. There are no side effects. Drink it. As long as you recover, you'll be more energetic. In this place, if you don't know how to love yourself, no one else will care about you."

Phoenix was slightly stunned.

To be honest, in this palace, she was insignificant. Sometimes, the maids would even forget about her, let alone those brothers and sisters. Now that Zayn had come to her, she was confused.

"Thank you, Zayn. Helen, bring me the medicine."

"Yes, Princess."

Helen walked over, took the medicine from Zayn and handed it to Phoenix.

Phoenix drank without hesitation, which surprised Zayn.

"Aren't you afraid that I will poison you?"

"I am almost forgotten by others. Do you need to trouble yourself to poison me?"

Phoenix sounded agonized.

This was what these children of royal family needed to experience.

Once you were useless, no one would remember you, not even your own father. However, Phoenix knew that she was still being treated as a princess, but those people had other purposes.

Princesses had been set for marriage to another country to consolidate strength.

Phoenix didn't know whom she was going to marry to. But no matter who he would be, she now had someone to rely on.

After all, Samuel was here, right?

However, Zayn did not know what Phoenix was thinking. He couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable when hearing that.

"That's right. People like us can't survive here if we don't work hard to show them how excellent we are."

Phoenix paused slightly.

"Zayn, are you here to form an alliance with me? This isn't a good idea. I'm not interested in your competition for the throne."

Zayn took a seat and looked at Helen. Phoenix immediately understood.

"Leave us."

"Yes."

Helen left.

Only Phoenix and Zayn were left in the living room. Zayn looked straight at Phoenix and whispered, "Inez, I know that you are not quite close to me and it's ridiculous to talk about kinship here. But other than you, I really can't think of anyone that I can turn to."

"Zayn, what happened exactly? Although I'm not interested in your competition, it's better to be loved by a brother than to be alone. After all, I've taken your medicine, haven't I?"

Phoenix blinked. Zayn did not expect her to be so cute.

He was stunned for a moment. Then he laughed.

"It seems that your life in this palace is comfortable."

"I feel more at ease since there's no expectation."

Phoenix's words surprised Zayn a little.

Didn't she have any expectations?

Actually, he was same as her. He left here because he didn't have any feelings for this place back then. But now, he had no choice but to struggle here again.

The bitterness flashed through his eyes, which was seen by Phoenix.

Phoenix didn't have any feelings for these brothers, but because of Nicole, she wanted to get closer to Zayn. Thus, she asked, "What exactly happened, Zayn?"

"Nothing serious. One of my bodyguards was slightly injured. However, he offended Major, the counselor of Mark. I can't help him. Therefore, I want to ask you if there is any vacant room that I can use."
