Zephyr paused.

“I’ll stay here no matter what it takes,” he answered without any hesitation.

Cordelia smiled. She had long expected this answer because this was the reflection of one’s deep love for another. If Zephyr was hurt, she would also stay outside the hospital ward no matter what it took.

In spite of it, Phil just left after his moving confession—like everything just now was just a show.

Zephyr’s heart squeezed. The moment he met Cordelia’s eyes, he understood it.

“I knew it. Phil Nelson isn’t reliable!” he said angrily. “Zennie will suffer if she continues falling like this!”

“Calm down first.” Cordelia comforted him softly. “It seems like Aunt Cloud doesn’t know about their relationship yet?”

“She won’t ask too much even if she does,” Zephyr answered with a dark expression. “She’s an advocate for free love and hates that her child will become a sacrifice for the family’s interests.

“But Phil and Zennie are worlds apart. They won’t be fruitful.”

Cordelia bit her lips. “Zephyr, what I’m most worried about is that… Phil isn’t sincere about Zennie. He wants to use her.”

Zephyr nodded.

“I hope that I’m the one who overthinks,” said Cordelia. “But what if!? Let’s be more cautious so that Zennie isn’t taken advantage of.”

Zephyr recalled what had happened in Jangasas.

Ever since Marcus escaped, he had gone through all the surveillance recordings of the junctions. The black car without registration plates had vanished from the surface of the earth in the end.

He had suspected the vague picture of the driver from the surveillance clip. A black cap revealed half of a face that was pale and thin—if Phil’s face was blocked from his nose up, he actually matched that face.

It was just that Zephyr did not dare conclude it rashly and ordered to investigate more, but nothing came back.
