Seth noticed that something was up with Zephyr judging by his face. However, after thinking for a long time, he could not figure out what was wrong.“Do you really treat him as a sister only?” His face was grim.Seth inhaled sharply and paused for a couple of seconds.“What else?” He looked at Zephyr. “W-What else can she be to me?”“Haven’t you thought about anything else?”Anything else…Seth was at a loss.Zephyr was pissed when he saw his stupid face.One could not make a carving from rotten wood. No wonder he had failed to pursue Linda!Seth asked carefully, “Zen, w-what are you trying to say?”Zephyr glared at him. “Nothing! You just keep treating her like your sister, then!”He turned to leave after he was done speaking.Seth was stunned for a while, standing where he was. He smiled like an idiot and went after Zephyr.When they were in Jangasas, he was weird. He would often throw tantrums.Everyone would stay far away from him, but Seth did not mind it.Now that
When they got downstairs, they suddenly heard a commotion outside.“Go to the main house, Madam!”“What’s wrong?”“The old master fainted!”Zephyr’s eyes turned grim. He instantly went downstairs.Cordelia and Zennie went over too, while Kate and Henry followed behind them.Many people had arrived at Liam’s place. Everything about him was the most important to the Hamertons, let alone he had fainted now.Henry and Kate had arrived. Clark was guarding the door when Zephyr arrived, and he looked worried.“How’s grandpa?”“The doctor is in there!”There was a professional medical team in the manor tending to emergencies.However, the team had many people. Zephyr did not trust all of them, so he got the team to leave and got Seth there.He got a conclusion after the preliminary check. “The old master has an embolism.”“Does that mean his blood vessels are blocked?”“Yes.” Seth nodded. “Fortunately, it’s not serious, and we found out in time. Your medical team gave him an inje
Charlie smiled helplessly and was going to pick up a wine glass when Rowan caught his hand mercilessly.“No drinking!” Rowan glared at him. “You can’t drive after you drink!”Charlie was befuddled. “Mr. Irwin, didn’t you say that… we’ll walk back later?”“Who said that!?”Rowan glared at Charlie but was immensely gentle to the person on the line.“Cordelia, calm down… Oh, don’t fret!“Don’t worry, don’t worry. I’m just around!“Not far at all! Hah, I’ll be there very soon. I promise I’ll heal Elder Mr. Hamerton!“Silly child, what are you saying? No need to be courteous with me!”Rowan put on his jacket and ran out as he spoke.Charlie chuckled wryly on the spot. He looked at the two glasses of wine that were not even touched reluctantly before he sighed and went after his boss.The pub was obviously a long way from Hamerton Manor!Rowan kept urging Charlie to step down on the pedal on the way.When they arrived at the manor, the living room was filled with people, but Row
Matthew was dumbfounded. His pride could not bear it being embarrassed like this in broad daylight.In spite of it, it was still fine that others ignored him—Yale was pretending not to see him too! He was going to call for Yale only to discover that his wonderful son had slipped away from the crowd in secret!“Yale! Yale Hamerton!” Matthew was furious. “You brat!”“Clark, help me back!”Clark glanced at him and said, “My apologies, Mr. Matthew. I have to hurry upstairs. Someone has to be by Elder Mr. Hamerton’s side!”“You…”Before Matthew could lash out, Zephyr instructed everyone with the sense of authority of the family head, “Grandpa’s no longer in a critical state. Stop crowding here! Off to whatever you should be doing!”All of them answered in unison, “Yes, Mr. Zephyr!”Zephyr smiled and left, holding Cordelia’s hand.“Hey, what do I do when all of you are leaving!?” Matthew flailed, frozen on the spot. “Zephyr! You b*stard… At least leave someone with me!“Come back!
Rowan looked at him for a long time with confusion in his eyes.“I don’t get what you’re saying, Zephyr.”Zephyr smiled. “Mr. Irwin, you don’t have to act oblivious. I don’t know medicine, but I know my grandfather.“To be honest, I’ve watched him take this tonic since I was young. He’s been alright taking it for years. How could there be a problem now?“Besides, Clark mentioned that he has recently been taking unusually much of this tonic. It used to be once every three days, but he’d more than like to have it thrice a day now. It’s medicine, not some gourmet delicacy. Not to mention, he wouldn’t have more than three bites even if he came across something delicious. Why has he lost control when it comes to this tonic?Zephyr’s gaze turned deep. “Mr. Irwin, there aren’t just nourishing supplements in this tonic, right?”Rowan looked at him quietly.The kid was not stupid. He could see the problem at a glance.It seemed that Cordelia would do fine marrying him. It would save her
For the sake of the rest of his life, Zephyr must not let Cordelia learn acupuncture from Rowan, no matter what!He began to divert the topic. “Honey, you were amazing today!”“What?”“What you told my uncle. That felt so good!”Cordelia smiled. It was because Matthew was too much and was hurling accusations recklessly!After a few interactions, she actually found Henry unproblematic aside from being relatively honest and timid. No one said that honest people should be bullied. She could not stand it.In addition, she stepped up because it did feel powerless when Kate was defending them alone.“It’s my honor to have seen my wife’s cool side again today!”“And you sound like you’ve eaten honey today.” Cordelia glanced at Zephyr with a smile.Zephyr rested his head on her shoulder and held her arm with both hands.“Honey, you saw it too… We have so many snakes at home. It’s really hard for me to survive! You’ve got to protect me well!”Cordelia really could not stand it anymor
“I didn’t say that I agree!”Xyla looked at her daughter and smiled when she caught the slight disappointment in her expression.Even when she could not see Rowan again in this lifetime, having the pair of children she had was the most precious gift the man had given her.“I know that you’re doing this for my sake,” Xyla said gently, “But I really don’t want to look for someone else. How William Jenner treated me in the past… It’s still fresh in my head.”Cordelia hung her head in silence.“But the man you mentioned, he’s not as bad as William Jenner, right?”“Huh?” Cordelia jolted. “No, of course not! He’s super nice!”“Treating the sick and saving those in need is benevolent.” Xyla smiled. “I don’t agree to another marriage, but meeting him and having an acquaintance is fine.”“Really?” Cordelia’s eyes lit up. She hugged her mother.The sun traced a gentle outline of gold around the mother and daughter cuddling together. Ginger meowed and stretched with a squint.Everything
Although Xyla had no intention of getting married again, Cordelia still thought that it was hopeful because of her willingness for an acquaintance.Therefore, she had been thinking of ways to pull the two together these days. Ultimately, the best method seemed to be the most old-school as well—that was to come out and meet.Cordelia first called Rowan and vaguely expressed that she would like to sit down somewhere with him for a chat and explicitly asked him to bring the Siamese cat along.When Rowan hung up, he felt a buzz in his ears and was delightfully surprised.“Charlie, I didn’t mishear, did I?” he repeatedly confirmed in disbelief. “Cordelia wants to… She wants to have coffee with me?”Charlie felt like it was a miracle too.Cordelia was gentle and approachable but almost never took the initiative to ask someone out.Charlie frowned and suddenly caught a detail.“Mr. Irwin, Cordelia asked that you bring the Siamese cat along!”“Hmm, so?”“You forgot? She had a tabby w
