Cordelia pretended to take the pills, but she had grabbed some soil when she felt the flower pot by the window just now. While Phil was distracted, she threw the handful of soil into his eyes.

“Ah!” Phil covered his eyes.

Cordelia took the opportunity to run out, pulling Zennie with her.

A few steps into the cafe’s yard, Phil had come out in pursuit. His hand was going for Zennie’s neck, but a bullet went right through his scapula with a loud bang accompanied by a bright flare.

Phil fell to the ground with a thud, curling up in pain.

Cordelia pulled Zennie to run without turning back. Robert was outside to pick them up.

Zephyr stayed back to clear the place. He stood before Phil with a blank face as he watched blood oozing from the latter’s shoulder.

The gunpoint smoked, the burnt smell of gunfire lingering in the air.

The battle was going to be over soon.

Zephyr lifted his hand with a smirk. He was going to add another shot to end everything, but the moment he pulled the trig

    This was Seth’s first time standing at the operation theater with trembling hands. An excellent surgeon should stay absolutely still holding the scalpel, but he could not do it now. After all, the one in front of him currently was no man but a monster. Yet, he could not kill him.Zephyr had specifically asked Seth to keep Phil alive. They had unsettled business to take care of.Seth breathed out heavily.The nurse saw that he looked off and instantly understood what to do. She asked softly, “Dr. Stafford, can we start with the surgery?”Seth turned away and told the interning doctors, “You’ve been in your white coat for some time now, but there haven’t been any chances for practice, and you haven’t been able to officially step on the operation theater. I’ll give you the chance today.”The interning doctors looked at each other with mirroring surprise.“The patient is wounded on the scapula by a bullet.” Seth turned on the big screen that showed all the detailed data and informati

    It was just like Phil’s every blow to Zennie.Seth took a deep breath. He did not expect that, as a doctor, he would one day do something a devil would.His hands shook uncontrollably—not because he had turned into a monster, but for the grievances Zennie had gone through.“Dr. Stafford, we can stitch him up now.”“Alright.” Seth looked blankly at Phil, who was on the verge of death.He would not die. He would be fine with a few days of rest.However, the damage he had caused Zennie could barely be erased her whole life.Seth gripped his fists. He should really kill someone like this with his own hands!Cordelia and Zephyr had been waiting outside the operation ward and had naturally heard the harrowing screams earlier.Zephyr had a straight face as he sat like a statue. Cordelia leaned against his shoulder gently and put a hand over the back of his hand.Her hand was a little cold. Since she got pregnant, she kept feeling like her energy was lacking. She blamed herself for i

    “But Mrs. Hamerton…” Robert pursed his lips. “Ms. Zennie has to be a witness. It’s the police’s request.”“It’s okay.” Seth’s gaze was determined. “I’ll keep her company when she goes to court.”Cordelia and Zephyr exchanged a look with a smile when they heard that.Seth coughed and blushed slightly.“Uh… I’m a little tired. I’ll be going back for some rest.”“Sure, have a good rest!” Cordelia chuckled. “Zennie’s still waiting for you to go to court with her!”Seth flashed them a smile and turned to leave.A few days later, Phil was transferred to the regular ward. He was bandaged up, and his originally pale face looked even weaker. The sharp edge in his eyes seemed to have diminished significantly, but it was like he was a revived bug the moment he saw Zephyr as he strained his neck and glared at him.It was just that a bug was just a bug.Zephyr’s gaze was cold without an expression. He frowned lightly after looking at Phil for a while.“The medical care you’ve received is

    “It’s Dr. Stafford’s instruction.”“Oh.” The nurse nodded and left with her tray.There were nurses who came in after that, some to check on the drip, some to record Phil’s condition, but all of them were chased out without exception.Zephyr and Phil were the only ones in the room. Time ticked by, and he remained at ease, determined to drag this out with Phil.Meanwhile, Phil’s wound disallowed him to wait it out. The wound was painful and itchy. The dressing was stuck to the blood seeped, and any subtle movement was excruciating.He was sweating in pain that even his face was twisted. He wanted to die but was unable to, yet he could not recover even if he wanted to.“Zephyr Hamerton!” He lost it in the end. “What do you want!?”“I told you when I came in.” Zephyr looked at him coldly. “I want the truth!”“The truth? Hah… What happens when someone without a conscience like you learns the truth? You’ll still be living your merry life, but the one I love won’t ever be back…”Zep

    Zephyr paused for a moment. He more or less understood what had happened. Phil and Rania were childhood sweethearts, and Phil wanted to marry her, but Rania liked someone else when she studied abroad and denied their relationship with the words “best friends”.She later met with a mishap, and Phil launched his revenge against the Hamertons out of his grief.It was just that Zephyr still failed to dig the name Rania Kerk out from his memory.Phil had just pulled trouble after trouble for the Hamertons over inexplicable revenge!Zephyr looked at him coldly and said, “Phil Nelson, I don’t even know who Rania Kerk is. Stop making things up!”“You’re really shameless…” Phil gritted each word.“Maybe this is just your excuse for revenge.” Zephyr’s presence was oppressive as he stepped closer. “Maybe Rania Kerk doesn’t even exist!”“You…” Phil’s expression changed, and he wanted to say something out of his agitation but ultimately stayed quiet.Zephyr’s gaze darkened. Rania was the be

    It was no wonder that there was a period when rumors about how a girl had a crush on the carefree and rich fourth heir of the Hamertons again spread like wildfire in the business college.Zephyr had heard rumors like this countless times and did not pay much mind to it. It was just that his younger cousin had quitted school later on and rushed back to the country, later finishing his studies locally.No one at home had told Zephyr what happened, and he did not find the need to ask either.It was unexpected that the cause of the matter was this…“Why do you look like that?” Phil snorted. “You remember it now? Zephyr, Rania’s dead because of you! I want each of you Hamertons to die with her!”Zephyr took a deep breath with an icy gaze. He said softly after a while, “The one in the debate competition wasn’t me.”“What did you say!?” Phil gritted his teeth. “How could you still deny it at this stage!?”“That wasn’t me. It’s my younger cousin, Marco Hamerton.”Phil felt his ears fil

    As Zephyr left the hospital ward, he felt like a rock was weighing his heart down. Although Rania’s death was unrelated to him, he still felt a sense of guilt, like he was an indirect cause.He stood at the hospital door for a long time, smoking somewhere spacious, and saw a few police officers rushing into the building. With the number of drugs Phil was dealing with, a death sentence was a treat.After a stick of cigarette, Zephyr looked up at the nightfall. It was time to leave this mess and go home to keep his wife company.“Sir.” Robert came from afar and looked hesitant to speak.Zephyr chuckled after a glance at him. “You went to check Marco’s case?”Robert smiled and nodded. As an excellent follower of Zephyr, of course, he had to do things in advance.The moment he heard Marco’s name outside the ward, he started the investigation.“Not bad.” Zephyr patted his shoulder. “Finally did something sensible.”Robert was rendered speechless. How was he insensible aside from alw

    Cordelia had been a little sleepy, but all that grogginess left her when she heard what he said.“Who did you say you’re beating up!?”“Darling, I…”“The baby’s not even born yet, and you want to beat it up?” Cordelia raised her brows fiercely.Zephyr was not scared of anyone outside, but he surrendered in seconds in front of her.“No, no, I didn’t mean that…” He chuckled dryly. “You said that you share some of your heat with the baby after being pregnant, so you’re always cold, right?”“You still can’t hit it even then!”“Oh…” Zephyr nodded obediently.“Then can I beat them when they grow up and do something wrong?”“No!” Cordelia glared at him. “Teach and discipline kids verbally when they do something wrong. How can you beat them up simply? Zephyr, if you dare lay a finger on the child, I’ll fight you!”Zephyr stared at her and felt the corners of his lips twitching. He grimaced.When a woman became a mother, a docile bunny turned into a tigress.What a woman felt for th

    "Only Morpheus and Sephy aren't like that. They respect and understand me. Sephy told me once, 'One's appearance doesn't indicate anything. A clean heart is what truly matters!'"Rebecca chuckled dismissively."You're a psychologist, yet you fail to grasp this," Wynn said coldly. "Actually, I pity you. You could have stepped out, yet you insist on dwelling on the trivialities."Morpheus has psychological barriers, a consequence of returning from the battlefield. No one has cured his PTSD except Sephy... It shows that a true psychologist is never just a title."What truly heals everything is love!"-One particular morning a year later, sunlight streamed through sheer cream curtains onto the floor.Persephone was sound asleep when she suddenly felt something pressing down on her... Then, Morpheus' strong arms wrapped around her slender waist. She drowsily opened her eyes to find him sealing her lips with heated kisses.Over the year, his kissing skills had improved, and Persepho

    With Morpheus' involvement, the police didn't slack off and quickly found Rebecca.That day, Rebecca was preparing to escape from a small port. The boat she had found was an illegally operating one.As she was about to board, piercing sirens sounded nearby.The boat owner, enraged upon hearing the sirens, grabbed Rebecca by her hair and pushed her into the water.Rebecca screamed for help, but he roared, "I didn't expect you to be sent by the cops!""I'm not..." Rebecca choked on water. "Sir, let's leave now. Your boat is fast. As long as we reach the open sea, no one will catch you!""Dream on!" The boat owner wanted to strangle her. "Do you not understand? These sirens are from the royal guards! Who did you bitch provoke?"Rebecca was dumbfounded. Being a foreigner, she naturally didn't understand the local affairs in the Southeast Aciatic region.The police and royal guards quickly caught up, armed, and surrounded them.Rebecca turned pale and trembled all over, her gaze gr

    "You had no choice on the battlefield."Persephone looked at him with her crystal eyes. There was a magical power in them. Even if a devil was tearing him apart, her eyes would always bring him back to light.She smiled and caressed his cheek. "Though you killed your father, you saved the country.""Do you really… think so?"She nodded. "You're not at fault. He was the one who made a mistake. You were just fulfilling your job as a general to protect the country."But I also understand that he's your father who brought you up, after all. You guys must have had happy days before that happened, right?"Morpheus held his head low in silence."You did well as the protector of the country," she said softly. "But as a son, you can secretly pay homage to him."Persephone held his hand. "Reconcile with your father, Morpheus. You'll also reconcile with yourself by doing that, okay?"He was stunned for a long time and felt a lump in his throat.-Morpheus stayed with Persephone in the

    "No way!" Christopher smirked, glancing at Morpheus. "To him, you're his only princess! I just got lucky for the princess carry, thanks to you!""Yeah, at least you're self-aware!" Persephone nodded, rubbing her chin."We've known each other for so long! What kind of person do you think I am?" Christopher laughed. "I can be a bit shameless at times, but..."But upon learning that the one she loved was the unbeatable god of war, he willingly stepped back, offering his blessings with a smile."Okay, okay. You two stop crowding around me!" Christopher waved his hand. "Sephy needs more rest, and I'd like to get some more sleep, too! Once we heal, let's go out and have some fun together!""You're still thinking about fun?" Morpheus' deep voice intervened with a wry smile. "With the factory explosion incident, the royal family is furious and will thoroughly investigate it. Many people will probably be coming to talk to you both in the next few days. After all, you two are the most direc

    "Let's get out first!""Hey, wait..." Persephone pointed to the other side.In moments of life and death, it wasn't appropriate to laugh, but Morpheus still chuckled. The young Prince Christopher was sprawled on the floor in a very ridiculous pose, and they almost forgot about him!"Don't worry," Morpheus whispered. "I won't let anything happen to him."He had Persephone cling to his back and then carried Christopher.Christopher was a tall fellow, so it took some effort to carry them both to a safe place.Fire trucks, ambulances, and police cars rushed in. Their sirens pierced the sky, startling a flock of birds.The fire was soon extinguished, and Persephone and Christopher received timely treatment. Luckily, their burns weren't too severe, and even more fortunately, their faces were unharmed.When Christopher woke up, he felt bandages wrapped around his head, and his skin had a burning sensation. His heart sank, and he was almost on the verge of tears."Tell me the truth! A

    There was fire everywhere. Flames rushed toward Persephone like menacing dragons. Her consciousness grew increasingly blurred, but the searing pain coursing through her body became clearer. She struggled to get up, the agony almost unbearable.Despite several attempts, it was futile...Something was pinning her feet down, and stones kept falling on her. She couldn't even muster a shout.Many images flashed through her mind in that fleeting moment, each frame featuring Morpheus' face…She remembered the times they had spent together in Flinge, how he had initially distanced himself from her, then later had exerted every effort to protect her. She recalled how he would gently ruffle her hair and call her "silly goose"..."Morpheus, I'm afraid I might have to go first..."The fire grew fiercer, explosions resonated continuously, and she could no longer hold on.Christopher, who was nearby, wasn't any better.Amidst the roaring flames, he couldn't see anything clearly, only pulling

    "No need, you can go back first." Morpheus glanced at him. "I'll wait here for her a little longer.""Prince Christopher wouldn't do anything to Ms. Hamerton...""Alfred, what are you thinking?" Morpheus couldn't help but chuckle. "I know exactly what Christopher is like, but I just want to wait here for Sephy. Christopher mentioned that she'd specifically designed these fireworks for me. Hah! I'm the useless one. I don't even dare to go inside and take a look.""Sir, don't say that.""If I wait here, will it count as accompanying her in her efforts?"Alfred nodded.Morpheus smiled and sent Alfred back. He continued waiting under the tree.The air in Southeast Aciatic was hot and humid. The shade of the banyan tree offered some relief, but it couldn't completely dispel the oppressive heat.Morpheus took a deep breath, about to move elsewhere, when he glimpsed a suspicious figure swiftly darting through the factory's side gate.The security at the side gate was lax, making it e

    Christopher struggled to swallow the bite of the sandwich in his mouth for what seemed like ages. He gazed at Persephone, his mind wandering back…He didn't just know Morpheus. He had been close since childhood to the children of the two prominent military families in Southeast Aciatic.Compared to the Harrises, he preferred visiting the Ortons, especially when he got to spend time with Morpheus. He considered Morpheus a friend, a brother even, having engaged in countless mischief together, much to their parents' dismay.In his memory, Morpheus was someone who smiled a lot, radiating warmth and brightness like the Southeast Aciatic sun when he did.However, from the moment Kaiden betrayed the country, Morpheus never smiled again, gradually growing distant from Christopher as well.It wasn't until that evening at the gates of the palace that Christopher felt like it had been a lifetime."I... I don't know him." Christopher forced a smile. "Where would I have met your boyfriend!"

    Morpheus wasn't just an ordinary person!Christopher wholeheartedly accepted his defeat to Morpheus."Then... I'd like to invite you to come over to my place for a while as a friend. That's fine, right?"-A few days later, Persephone finally ran into Christopher, who had been missing in action for days, in the classroom."Hey, you finally showed up!" She dashed over, plopping down in the seat beside him and handing him breakfast. "You haven't eaten, right? Let's eat together!"Usually, Christopher would readily accept, but he waved his hands now. "No, no, no!""What's wrong?" Persephone widened her eyes. "This breakfast isn't poisoned!"Christopher awkwardly smiled. "You have a boyfriend, so maybe... we should keep some distance."Persephone burst into laughter. Then she remarked, "Strange... Morpheus was right!""Uh, what?""My boyfriend!" She chuckled. "He made this breakfast. I asked if he could also make a portion for you, and he said sure, just worried you wouldn't tak
