“I…” Nicholas looked troubled and hesitant.
Zephyr gave him a harsh pat. “How am I supposed to help you if you’re not honest with me!?”
After a stretched moment of silence, Nicholas said softly, “I’ve only met Mona a few times, and she’s always
pestering me. I don’t know how she got into this grand event, and I got weak after drinking a glass of drink she
passed me.”
Zephyr rolled his eyes several times, unable to believe how gullible Nicholas was.
“I was just weak!” Nicholas raised his voice in explaining, “Not unconscious, you know?
“So how would I not know if I’ve done it or not?
“Besides, there’s another reason…” His voice went low again as he spoke slower. “After I drink, I… I can’t…”
“What?” Zephyr was shocked.

This had been a secret of his that he had never told anyone. He was usually fine, but a drop of alcohol, and he
could not get anything up.
Zephyr frowned, not knowing what to say.
Nicholas stood leaning against the wall sullenly with both hands over his face.
He could explain this reason, but it was a huge blow to a man’s pride to admit this in public.
A long time later, the doctor came out of the operation ward.
“Mr. Thompson…” The doctor took off his sweaty mask and said with much difficulty, “The baby couldn’t be saved.”
“What?”
Nicholas felt like his heart was clenched by a hand, and it hurt so bad that he found it hard to breathe.
Cordelia jolted, and her tears fell involuntarily.
Zephyr put an arm over her and patted her back softly.
“Why…” Nicholas gasped with reddened eyes. “How!?”
“Mr. Thompson, the fetus is already formed, so it’s supposed to be when it’s the most stable… But Mrs. Thompson
was too emotional and fell from such a high staircase, so…”
“She fell?” Cordelia rushed to Nicholas. “Why did she fall!?”
Nicholas looked like he was done with life. “I was in a hurry to discuss strategy solutions with the PR after what
happened. Linda insisted on going out with me, but I didn’t allow her to, so she chased after me. I didn’t expect it.
She slipped and fell from the stairs… That’s how we ended up in the hospital.
“It’s all my fault!” Nicholas sobbed in regret. “I knew she had a short temper. I should have taken my time to talk to
her! But I was hurrying to leave and didn’t watch out for her…”
Cordelia’s hands and feet went ice cold as she trembled.

He then turned to Nicholas. “How’s your PR managing this now? Is the scandal just allowed to brew?”
Nicholas closed his eyes and shook his head with a pained expression.
With Linda getting into the accident, he could care less about the company. Despite that, he was usually the
decision maker of the company affairs, so the PR department did not dare call the shots rashly.
That was how things got dragged to this extent, and Mona managed to take advantage of it.
Zephyr glowered, an icy gleam in his deep eyes.
“Nicholas Thompson, you better pull up your socks!” he growled, “Someone’s harming your wife and child now, and
you’re just letting her go like this?”
Nicholas balled his hands up, fingernails stabbing into his flesh.
“Leave the PR and media to me.” Zephyr looked at him. “You don’t need me to teach you the rest, right?”
Nicholas took a deep breath. His chiseled face brimmed with the savage and killing intent it once had.
