The footsteps were approaching. Neil suddenly realized that the door was opened. Just when he was going to get
Aurelia to close it, he looked up and saw Carter, who was dumbstruck at the door.
What he saw was—Neil was standing at the toilet with his legs spread wide while Aurelia was standing before him
while bending. She had a pair of scissors in her hand.
And the scissors were going…
Carter inhaled sharply!
“No, stop!”
Aurelia’s hand trembled, and the scissors fell onto the floor.
She looked at Carter and then Neil—she was flushing. She covered her face and ran out as if she was running for
her life.
Carter did not have time to go after her as he quickly checked Neil’s situation.

Would the general not have an heir if that happened?
Neil looked like he wanted to die as his eyes lost their color. He looked at Carter helplessly, unable to utter a word.
“Cuz, are you okay?
“Cuz, I came here just to check on you. The head of the burn unit is my dad’s old friend. He definitely won’t allow
scars on your arms!
“Cuz?
“Cuz!”
Carter waved before Neil’s eyes upon seeing that he was staring blankly.
Unexpectedly, Neil screamed, “Get out!”
Carter was shocked.
“Do you feel unwell, cuz?”
Neil tried to swallow his anger and calmly said, “I just want to pee. Please get out.”
Confused, Carter looked at him and then at his arms. He got a professional nurse to help him.
Neil was secretly groaning. He wanted to scream, beat someone up, and to hit his head on the wall!
The morning light shone into the room through the cream curtain.
Zephyr slowly opened his eyes and looked at his wife in his arms. He could not help but smile and give her a light
peck on her forehead.
Cordelia turned around and continued sleeping.
He hugged her feeling sorry. He had been so greedy last night that he exhausted her. He must let her rest well
today.
He was satisfied as he hugged her and ignored his son’s cries from the next room.
There were a couple of nannies taking care of him. He was fine.
Cordelia subtly heard her son’s cry and wanted to open her eyes. Just when she was going to wake up, Zephyr

“Hey, what’s wrong?”
“Nothing, nothing.” He was grinning in the blanket. “I thought you might be cold, so I want to cover you.”
“Zuko is up, isn’t he?”
“No!” He lied. “Our son didn’t cry. You must be dreaming just now! Listen, is there any sound?”
Cordelia was still half-sleeping as she listened carefully. Indeed, there was no sound. She then closed her eyes and
slept in his embrace.
Zephyr smiled, got off the bed quietly, and checked the nursery next door.
The nannies were hardworking. They were feeding Zuko now.
Zephyr was relieved. He returned to their room quietly, tucked himself in the blanket, and hugged his wife tightly.
Just when he was going to sleep, his phone vibrated. He answered softly, but it was noisy on the other side.
“Come drink with me, cousin-in-law!”
Zephyr was rendered speechless. “It’s so early, no? Also, have your arms recovered? Don’t you know you need to
watch out what you eat when you’re injured?”
A scoff came from the other side of the phone. “Why does your tone sound more and more like your father-in-law
now?”
