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

Cordelia raised a brow and did not know whether to laugh or wince.“He brought fish, vegetables, and a lot of other stuff. Our fridge barely has room!” Xyla frowned and pointed at the balcony. “Look, whatever’s left is piled there! Did he move the supermarket back?”Cordelia first helped her mother to sit and was going to check in the kitchen when Zephyr came out to serve the dishes. Both of them froze when they made eye contact.Cordelia lowered her head to avoid his gaze and entered the kitchen.It was a disaster inside. Cordelia chuckled wryly. She had to clean up the battlefield in the end.She remembered that when they first got together, he was always waiting to be served like a master. The few times he cooked later, he messed up the kitchen. Cordelia could not figure it out then—were house chores that difficult?She understood it now. Zephyr had grown up being served. It was already a marvel that he could complete house chores to this extent.Zephyr placed the last dish o

Soon, someone served a plate of shrimp ravioli.Cordelia was calm. She scooped one up lightly. The hot ravioli exuded the fragrance of the sea. Zephyr could smell it.He peeped at her again, but she was not looking at him.His heart sank.However, Cordelia suddenly stood up soon. She brought an empty plate and picked out the herbs on top. Later on, she scooped half of the ravioli into the plate.She shoved it toward him and said, after a long time. “Eat.”Zephyr was stunned and smiled. That was the first thing she said to him since she was discharged from the hospital. He could not help but get excited. He recalled the time she treated him to a meal at the Regalia Hotel. She had not had much, but she would fulfill his request. She had ordered lobster risotto almost forcefully. She gave half of it to him when it was served and ate almost nothing.He suddenly thought this lady would not leave him even if he became a beggar one day.She could accept a man who had been in prison

Everyone had their eyes on Zephyr as soon as he showed up.Liam’s cold and strict face finally eased a little bit.“You’re back?”Zephyr nodded. “Yes, grandpa.”Liam raised his chin, signaling him to sit. However, Zephyr walked slowly to the middle of the meeting room. He stood there and glanced through everyone coldly. The powerful aura he exuded was almost suffocating.Matthew looked at him, stunned. The corner of his lips twitched as he forced a smile.“You’re back, Zen?” “Seems like you don’t want me here, uncle?” Zephyr smirked.“What! I just—”“You’re just worried that I’d steal my cousin’s and your thunder, right!”Matthew’s face turned pale from the rage. He stared at him fixedly.Zephyr walked over calmly, looked at his seat, and chuckled. “I think you’re in the wrong seat. This is mine.”“You…”“Although I’m lacking in gathering funds, you don’t have to worry about that, uncle.” Zephyr’s eyes were deep as he enunciated each word. “I’ve solved it!”Matthew was i
