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 talk about it in the future? Am I right?

“But what about Cordelia? Will you really be able to marry her!?”

“Linda!” Nicholas looked stern. “Enough!”

Linda took a deep breath and forced her tears back.

The hallway fell into silence suddenly, as if warped into a vacuum.

The light above the emergency ward went out a while later, and Zephyr got up to run over.

“Don’t worry. She’s not in a critical state.” Seth came out with a relieved smile. “Fortunately, the cut was shallow and didn’t cut the artery. As for her other injuries, they’re superficial wounds. She just has to rest up.”

Zephyr’s lips wobbled, and his eyes turned red.

Seth had mixed feelings facing him again. Never in his dreams would he have thought that the man he had saved back then was so distinguished.

He said softly, “M-Mr… Hamerton, the nurses are finishing up inside. Once there’s no anomaly after some observation, Cordelia will be wheeled to the ward.”
