Cordelia’s face paled. She lifted his T-shirt immediately to check the wound.

As expected, there was an obvious mark on his back.

“It’s red!” She rubbed it, feeling heartbroken. She then turned around to look at Linda.

“Look, Linda! Nicholas kicked him!”

Never had Nicholas thought his darling, who had been showing off their love with him earlier, was glaring at him like she was a different person now.

“Hey, why did you do that!?”

Nicholas looked innocent, “Linda, aren’t you going to side with me?”

“Side with you?” She grabbed Cordelia’s shoulder. “My Cordelia is upset now! Go, go buy ointment for Marcus!”

Nicholas widened his eyes.

‘My Cordelia?

‘She was calling me baby just now!

‘Is she saying that her friend is more important than her man!?

‘So love fades, is it…’

Nicholas stood where he was. He snapped his eyes up, locking eyes with Zephyr, who looked proud.

“Can I trouble Mr. Thompson to buy ointment for me?”

At 6:00 a.m., Nicholas bought ointment and even breakfast for them.

He swiftly laid out the cutlery and opened the balcony door. He shoved the ointment to Zephyr and gnashed his teeth while scoffing.

“I merely kicked you. Look at you being a softy! How dare you get me into trouble?”

Zephyr smiled. “Thanks for your compliment. I’m just giving you a taste of your own medicine.”

Nicholas rolled his eyes hard.
