One of them was there to accompany Cordelia for her delivery, while the other one was there to study Noah’s
condition.
“Dad, how is it?” Cordelia asked in worry.
Rowan shook his head lightly with a grim expression. Zephyr’s heart sank.
“I can do my best to treat him.” Rowan looked at them. “But don’t have too much hope. It’s not something
treatable in a short time, and just medicine isn’t enough. Rehab training is required too.”
“Mm.” Zephyr nodded. “Thanks, dad.”
Xyla sighed and said, “Actually, your mom came to me before when Noah had just fallen from the horse. My dad
was the one who treated him then, and my grandpa joined. They could only ensure that his condition wouldn’t
worsen. It might not be easy for him to recover to being fully abled.”
“It’s great that it didn’t worsen.” Rowan patted her shoulder. “A brain injury remains a challenge in the medical field
to this day.”
Zephyr hung his head in silence. He was sad, but when thinking about it from another perspective, his uncle’s

regular people even dared fantasize about.
Even if he was a fool, he got to live in affluence and security.
“Spend a few more days here in Melorian since you’re already here.” Zephyr smiled. “There’s a small villa next
door. Carter stayed there when he was here. If you want to stay with Cordelia, I’ll get someone to prepare the
guest room.”
“No need for the trouble.” Xyla smiled lovingly. “We can just stay at a hotel.”
“Huh?” Rowan’s eyes bulged instantly. “Aren’t we here for Cordelia’s delivery? Why are we staying at a hotel? We’re
already here in our daughter’s home. Of course we’re staying with her!”
“Right!” Xyla shot him a look and said in a harsh whisper, “Can’t you tell that your son-in-law is just being
courteous? We’re staying outside. Don’t be an annoying third wheel here!”
“Oh…” Rowan pursed his lips dejectedly as his wife pulled his ear.
“Mom, just stay here and keep me company!”
“No, it’s really fine.” Xyle stroked Cordelia’s hair. “Don’t worry. We’ll support you outside the ward the day you give
birth!”
“Yes.” Rowan grinned. “And to say hello to my precious grandson…”
“Yours?” Xyla knocked his head. “Janine will be the first one even then. That’s her grandson!”
“Cordelia, look at your mom!” Rowan complained. “I was ranked behind Janine when we were younger, and I still
lose to that witch now!”
Cordelia quickly covered the man’s mouth while Zephyr turned around with a cough, unable to hold his laugh back.
“Oh, right, Cordelia…” Rowan went closer to mutter to Cordelia, “I’ve been looking at Noah’s records these days,
and I suddenly thought of something.”
“What is it?”
Rowan spoke seriously. “Do all the men in their family… have hereditary genes of becoming silly after a collision?”
Cordelia widened her eyes and furrowed her brows in exasperation.
“Dad!”
“I’m considering this for your sake. Zephyr’s fallen off a plane before!”
“…”

Zephyr through a detailed checkup is necessary!”
Cordelia was rendered speechless. “Mom, take dad to the hotel! I’ll get the chauffeur to send you!”
“Cordelia, take my son-in-law for a brain CT scan first. I have people I know in the hospitals here—”
Rowan did not get to finish his sentence as Xyla dragged him out of the villa, muttering, “I think you’re the only one
who needs a brain CT scan!”
After they left, the villa went back to its peace and quiet.
Cordelia stood by the window, and Zephyr hugged her from the back, looking at the smile blossoming on her lips.
He felt full in his heart as well.
He stroked her belly. The baby had been lazy recently, not that fond of moving around now probably because of the
lacking space in there.
Cordelia suddenly looked at Zephyr, blinking her big eyes. “Darling, do you look forward to meeting him?”
The corners of Zephyr’s lips curled into a doting smile.
“Of course I do.” Sometimes, when he thought about his son, about how his blood flowed in the baby and would
pass down his excellent genes, maybe turning out even better than him… he was filled with pride.
“But…” Zephyr paused and looked at her deeply, saying with a husky voice, “I hope that he doesn’t give you too
much trouble anymore.
“Cordelia, I… I’m afraid about you being in pain.”
