The temperature outside had dropped tonight, so one must cover up well under the blanket. After that, one could
do anything they wanted.
…
Seth had been keeping Zennie company all this while.
After what they had been through, Seth finally recognized his feelings. However, Zennie had suffered a huge blow
and turned back to how she was back when her depression started, talking and smiling less.
Seth could barely make jokes to cheer her up, but what he could give her was his unwavering company.
Zephyr and Cordelia came to Gale Bay that day and saw Kate standing outside of Zennie’s room. The woman could
not see anything but was still peeping through the gap in the door, standing on tiptoe or bending down low.
There was a faint sadness to her plump back. It made one feel the worry and concern a mother had.
Cordelia suddenly felt a pinch in her nose. Maybe it was because she was becoming a mother too, and she
empathized with what Kate currently felt.
“Oh, Zephyr, Cordelia, you’re here?”
Kate forced a smile.
She was without thick makeup today—she had not put on any makeup for a long time to be precise. She was not

After all, there was a generation gap between her and Zennie, and she was unable to enter her daughter’s world.
She could only stay anxious on the side.
“I didn’t expect Phil Nelson to be so horrible!” Kate teared up once she thought about it. “Zephyr, you know that
I’ve never cared about family background or status. As long as Zennie likes someone, I support her. But I didn’t
expect that…
“It’s my fault! I’ve failed her as a mother. My daughter had been manipulated for so long, and I didn’t even notice
it!”
“Aunt Cloud, don’t say that.” Cordelia hugged her. “You gave Zennie enough tolerance and respect and let her grow
up in a healthy and happy environment, making her a princess without the princess syndrome… It’s more than
impressive!”
“Cordelia…” Kate’s tears fell.
Cordelia wiped the tears away for her and smiled at her, giving her an encouraging look.
“Aunt Cloud, don’t worry. All of Zennie’s photos in Phil’s phone have been deleted. The photos weren’t published, so
they didn’t affect anything. Zennie’s reputation won’t be damaged.”
“Mm!”
“It’s just that…” Cordelia frowned. “The girl carries too much weight in her heart. It might take some time before
she recovers.”

“It probably won’t be long,” Zephyr said softly.
He opened a small gap in the door, and the three of them stood there. They watched as Seth fed Zennie some
congee patiently.
Zennie had not eaten much since morning, and this meal was one that she had the best appetite for across these
days.
Kate’s eyes lit up, and she broke into a smile. She closed the door gently and waved her hand for Zephyr and
Cordelia to go to the living room.
Cordelia and Zephyr smiled at each other. The energetic Aunt Cloud was back again.
“Zephyr, Cordelia, say… is Dr. Stafford serious about Zennie?”
“Of course!” Zephyr chuckled. “Aunt Cloud, Seth took care of me alone after the plane crash. It’s how I recovered. I
didn’t even know him at that time.
“I can guarantee that he’s a good man. He won’t play Zennie for a fool.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“That’s good, that’s great!” Kate smacked her lap and grinned brightly.
Actually, she approved of the son-in-law the first time Seth came. Considering that Zennie was young and thinking
that Seth was Zephyr’s friend and she could not be too forward, she kept it all to herself and said nothing.
It was wonderful now. Her wish was granted.
Cordelia asked with a smile, “Aunt Cloud, you’re happy about Dr. Stafford, huh?”
“Of course!
“Zennie said that she wants to get into the medical college Dr. Stafford studied in and become a doctor too!
“She can be anything she wants as long as she keeps Dr. Stafford around. Whatever works!
“Oh, right!” Kate arched her brow and asked, looking at Zephyr carefully, “Can Dr. Stafford… be married into our
family too?”
“Uh…” Zephyr chuckled. “I’m afraid not.”
“Oh, I thought he could accept it too,” Kate muttered softly. “Never mind then. Anything goes as long as my
daughter is happy.”
Zephyr froze. “Aunt Cloud, what do you mean by ‘too’?”
Who else was a son-in-law marrying into the wife’s family in the Hamertons?
“Too?” Kate was also stunned. “Aren’t you one too? I thought your friends were like you!”
“I—” Zephyr choked and nearly spat the water he drank.
