Cordelia kept the corners of her lips down, wincing. Before she could think of what to say, Zephyr
stepped out with a scowl.
“I’ll take care of you.”
Nicholas was horrified. “N-No, I don’t mean you—”
“It’s only me aside from Cordelia.”
Nicholas said after a moment, “Bro, you can just get Ian here.”
“Ian’s injured too. I sent him back to rest after he was bandaged.”
Nicholas was rendered speechless.
“It’s okay.” Zephyr wore a slight smirk. “I can take good care of you.”
Nicholas scowled while Cordelia secretly giggled with a hand over her mouth. She passed the take-out
box to Zephyr as she spoke with a tinkling voice. “I’ll go back to the cafe first, darling. I’ll send you both
dinner when I’m done. Stay here and take good care of Mr. Thompson!”

Nicholas leaned against the bed with his back against the frame. This was the first time he realized that
husband and wife really did act like each other when they spent long enough together!
Cordelia left the hospital ward, hearing the voices inside as she closed the door.
“No! Don’t, bro. I don’t need you to feed me!”
“Didn’t you want to try the lady boss’ food? Your wish is granted today.”
“I can eat on my own! B-Brro, I really can— Ah! Are you f*cking trying to burn me?!”
…
Nicholas was a fine, healthy man. He recovered fast and could get out of bed to move around after a
week.
Although Zephyr did not entirely see him as a friend, he was no longer an enemy. He should not be one
just because he knew his identity but still kept it a secret.
Zephyr pushed Nicholas in a wheelchair to get some sun outside.
Nicholas was drenched in sweat. He was out in the sun during summer, and Zephyr said that he was
just following the doctor’s advice to get him some calcium… Zephyr must have done it on purpose!
Nicholas could barely open his eyes from the glaring sun. “Hey, can we go back?”
Zephyr glanced at his watch leisurely and shook his head.
“Not enough time in the sun yet.”
“You…”
“Nicholas, be grateful.” Zephyr looked nonchalant. “I personally wheeled you out for sun. Not
everybody gets this kind of treatment!”
Nicholas rolled his eyes for the umpteenth time.
“Bro, do you know that it’s 32 degrees Celsius today?”
“I do. All the more you should stay in the sun. Sunlight’s good for your health!”

“Then why the f*ck are you in the shade under the tree!? And on your phone!”
Zephyr glared at him.
Nicholas rolled himself on the wheelchair to go to him and saw that he was scrolling Cordelia’s photos
on his screen.
“What are you looking at!?” Zephyr was annoyed right away.
“Tch, tch…” Nicholas suppressed a laugh. “That’s how much you like her? You’re already sleeping
together every day. Still haven’t had enough looking at her?”
“Why do you care?”
“None of my business, sure! But it’s definitely the Hamertons’ business!”
Zephyr scowled and tightened his grip on the phone.
Nicholas kept his grin and looked at him. “Mr. Z, it’s better to explain some misunderstandings as soon
as possible. Don’t be like me… You miss everything by stalling it till the end.”
A bright “darling” sounded not too far away.
Zephyr looked up to see Cordelia waving at him and briskly walking over. There was someone else
