Chapter 184
“There’s a knife wound on his stomach that almost pierced his liver. The wound’s deep, but it’s been
sewn up.”
Cordelia’s heart skipped a beat upon hearing about it, and she unconsciously tightened her hold on
Zephyr’s hand.
“Don’t worry.” Seth smiled tiredly. “He’s not in a critical state. But he has to be hospitalized for
observation right now… Best if someone is with him, so I can give him a second emergency
treatment if something happens.”
“Thanks.” Zephyr patted his shoulder. He felt bad for sending Nichs to Seth, but he did not have
a better solution.
Sending Nichs to a regr hospital would undoubtedly expose his identity, while doctors in
regr private clinics might not be as skilled.
The nurse wheeled Nichs into the hospital ward.
The usually aggressive and brazen man was now pale like a sheet. He was all bandaged up as he
lay quietly.
The fragility of life was always felt in such swift moments.
Cordelia could not help the mixed feelings she felt as she looked at Nichs through the window.
“I wonder when he’ll be able to wake up.”
Zephyr wrapped an arm around her shoulders lightly. He thought of what had happened in the hotel
earlier. If it had been other women, they would have been dumbstruck when they saw their
husbands carrying in a thug who was bleeding all over in that dire situation.
This woman, however, was smart and calm. She had reacted quickly. Not only had she been
composed, but she had also thought of cross-dressing Nichs to send him out of the hotel.
Zephyr smiled. His gaze was tender and delightful.
Despite that… it was also because she was so smart that her suspicion had been roused with just a
bottle of red ink.
Zephyr’s gaze dimmed. Perhaps it was time to tell her the truth about his identity.
“Darling?” Cordelia tugged his sleeve. “Why are you so distracted?”
“It’s nothing.” His expression was indifferent. “Right, Seth said someone has to be here to take care
of him… I guess with how seriously injured he is, the two of us must be thest people he wants to
see when he opens his eyes.”
Cordelia was quiet in deep thought.
“I’m a man too. I know what he’s thinking now.” Zephyr’s voice was husky and affectionate. “The
person he should want to see the most right now should be the woman he loves.”
Cordelia answered in hesitation, “But, is it appropriate to ask Linda toe to take care of him?
“This is still Seth’s clinic. His rtionship with Linda isn’t official, but all of us think they’re an item.
“Asking Linda here and letting Seth see her and Nichs… He’d be upset!”
Zephyr paused and smiled at her. He acknowledged that she was reasonable because he had
thought about the same problem. However, it was also obvious who Linda was still unable to forget.
Since Seth could not have her, he had to face reality. It was better to suffer from the blow now than
later when he was even deeper into it.N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive ? material.
That said, he rubbed Cordelia’s hair and said softly, “Mm, you’re right.
“So what should we do about this now?”
“Hmm…” Cordelia mulled over it and said, “Why don’t the two of us take care of him first? I''ll slowly
let Linda know when he has recovered a little more and get her here?”
“Sure.” He smiled. “We’ll do what you say.”
Zephyr had always been firm in the past. Now, he did whatever his wife said.
Cordelia went to grab daily necessities for the hospital stay while Zephyr entered the ward alone.
Nichs’ wound had been redressed, and he had also just woken up. He was still rather pale, lying
on the bed. The anesthesia had worn off, and his wound felt like his skin and flesh were ripped out.
Even when he was sweating in pain, he gnashed his teeth and said nothing.
Zephyr furrowed his brows and finally took the towel to wipe Nichs’ face after standing there for
some time.
Nichs was speechless, thinking, ‘Bro, this is a face you’re wiping—not the floor!’
