In Cordelia’s daze, she heard a loud noise. The sound of a bullet penetrating glass was deafening. Then, chaos ensued.Cordelia slumped on the floor, fading into black. She was hanging on to the last sliver of will as she crawled out.“Honey, save me…”In spite of it, a hand abruptly grabbed her hair!The pain, like her scalp was splitting from her skull, made her cry. Before she fell unconscious, she felt an icy blade cut into her skin, and she vaguely heard the man’s voice.“Mr. Z, hah… Let me go, and I’ll give this woman to you. What do you think?“You aren’t making any loss in this deal! As long as you let me go, I promise I won’t appear before you again…“My wife is yours from now on!”With Zephyr’s growl, his bodyguards surrounded Marcus, but they dared not move recklessly. There was a dagger against Cordelia’s neck, and blood was slowly trickling out.Marcus snickered. Just when he got to the door, he shoved Cordelia to Zephyr.The bodyguards gave chase, but Marcus hop

“I already informed Mr. Matthew when you failed to kill Cordelia.” The man turned to face Marcus. “Mr. Matthew’s the one who gave you this sum of money. He said to keep you as you’ll still be useful!”The young man suddenly extended a hand to pinch Marcus’ face. He looked as if he was just pulling a trick.“Hah, I think Mr. Matthew’s plan is great… It’d be a pity if your face were gone!”Marcus’ hair stood on end. Even when he had spent so long in prison and met gangsters like Nicholas, they were unlike this guy in front of him who sent chills down his spine.“Go.” The car was parked at the curb, and the sinister voice was heard in Marcus’ ears. “Heh… You’ll be useful in the future!”Marcus opened the car door and fled with the money.The guy in the car pressed his cap lower, his fair face wearing a smirk.…Zephyr had been waiting outside the emergency doors.The blood on his hands had dried to a dull red color. His hands were intertwined and shaking slightly, but his express

Nicholas stood rooted with his temples throbbing. After a moment, he looked at Linda with a complicated gaze and said, “Calm down, okay? Zephyr doesn’t wish for this either…”“What doesn’t he wish for?” Linda raised her voice. “Hah, he’s bored of living his rich heir life in Centrolis and came here pretending to be a former convict to get married?”“Don’t make it sound so bad. You don’t understand. He was conspired against and got seriously injured. That’s why he hid his identity in Jangasas!”Linda was quiet for a moment and scanned him judgingly before she scoffed. “You knew so much?”Nicholas was rendered speechless.“Nicholas Thompson!”Nicholas wanted nothing more than to slap himself.“Zephyr Hamerton!” Linda’s voice was shaking from how furious she was. “Recover and recuperate all you want. Why get Cordelia involved?“Do you really think you’re a prince? Hah, being a womanizer even when you’re badly injured. How much will your rich heir friends be envious of you when you

It felt like there was a loud explosion in Cordelia’s heart.Zephyr’s extended hand paused in the air before he slowly pulled it back.“I’ve lied to you,” he said. “I’ve also caused you harm.”Cordelia screwed her eyes shut and cried.She finally understood why he seemed to have an extraordinary aura, why every difficulty she met would always be resolved, why he never cared about money, why he seemed fearless…He was the heir of the Hamertons. The whole world was under his feet. What was there for him to be scared of?Cordelia chuckled wryly. She had called him silly in the past, but she was actually the silly one who had been tricked!“Cordelia—”“Please leave.”Cordelia hid under the covers. Her weak voice came from the small gap.Zephyr could only see her disheveled hair and her quivering body. He wanted to pat her back and keep her in his embrace like he used to, but he could not do it now.He quietly left the ward and sat on the chair in the hallway, never once leaving.

Was Zephyr so cowardly that he needed these people to boost his courage to step into his own home?“Cordelia, take a nap,” Linda said softly. “I’ll go buy some stuff downstairs.”Cordelia nodded and tucked herself in, closing her eyes tiredly.Linda closed the door carefully and went downstairs. She crossed her arms as she approached the two men.“Mar—” She bit her lips and changed what she was going to say. “Mr. Hamerton, Cordelia’s just going to sleep. If you go back now, move around quietly. The wounds on her body are healing, but I’m afraid it’ll take a long time for the wound in her heart to heal.”Zephyr’s expression was solemn as he nodded. “Thank you.”“No need to thank me.” Linda looked at him. “She can’t just dump you either. She just can’t accept it for the time being. Talk to her slowly. She’ll get around soon.”“Mm.”“But remember, if you dare lie to Cordelia or hurt her again, I’ll get justice for her even if I have to die with you!”“Cough!” Nicholas quickly ste

Linda was rendered speechless.There were more people watching them now, either enviously or with stupid grins. Some of them whipped their phones out to record it and chuckled. “I always hear people say they kneel on washboards, but I never expected I’d encounter someone kneeling on one because of his wife!”“Hahaha!”Linda’s cheeks were burning. She wanted nothing more than to bury herself in a hole if there was one.“Nicholas! W-What… Have you lost your mind!?“Get up! Stop kneeling!”She wanted to pull him up as she spoke.Despite that, the man shouted louder, “Don’t touch me!“Anyone who dares interrupt me from admitting my fault to my wife is my enemy! I, Nicholas Thompson, have some status in the gangs. Anyone who has a grudge against me, I’ll definitely—“Ow!”Before he finished, Linda pulled his ear.Nicholas wore a pained expression, but when he peeked at Linda, his gaze was loving.His underlings behind him finally failed to hold it in and turned away to giggle wi

“I think you should just take her back to Centrolis with you. At least your dad and I are in the Hamertons. We won’t let Cordelia suffer any loss or disadvantage.”“Thanks, Aunt Cloud.” Zephyr forced a smile. “I’m afraid she’ll hate me more if I do that.”“Have you caught Marcus?”“No,” Zephyr answered in a low tone. “The guy who took him away is sly and familiar with Jangasas’ suburbs, especially the junctions around the riverside. He covered his face once he got close to places with surveillance cameras. The car doesn’t have a registration plate either, so it’s hard to investigate it.”“Let me know if you need my help,” Kate consoled him.Zephyr looked at her gratefully and nodded. He then asked casually, “When are you and Zennie going back?”“These two days, I think. It’s time Zennie focuses and prepares for her university application!”As soon as Kate said that, Zennie bounced in, opening the door. She quickly asked about Cordelia when she saw that her brother was there.In

Zephyr heard the water running in the bathroom when he arrived home. His heart clenched, but he dared not do anything. He could only stand there quietly.He remembered what Seth had said. Cordelia’s unusual behavior was called PTSD.…“What she has is considered light,” Seth told him. “The best is to treat it with psychological intervention, but… it’s better for the doer to undo what he’s done. Since the source of the issue lies with you, you’re the best doctor for it.”…Zephyr took a deep breath. He wanted to take on the role of the doctor as well, but Cordelia gave him no chance of approaching her.The bathroom door opened, and Cordelia walked out wrapped in a towel. When she looked up and met his eyes, she cried in surprise.“Cordelia—”Zephyr did not get to say anything before Cordelia hurried into the bedroom and shut the door with a lowered head.The door felt like a barrier separating them into two worlds.After a while, Cordelia opened a crack in the door to peek at
