Chapter 185


    “What’s wrong?” Zephyr was puzzled upon seeing Nichs’ pained expression.


    He thought that he was already humbling himself to wipe the man’s face for him, so how could the


    latter still haveints!?


    “Nothing.” Nichs winced.


    “Your wound’s pretty deep.” Zephyr looked at him. “You need to rest up for some time. Don’t move


    mindlessly, or you’ll suffer if your wound opens up again.”


    “Where’s this ce?”


    “Seth’s hospital.”


    “What?” Nichs almost sprang up, hissing in pain when he identally pulled the wound on his


    stomach.


    Zephyr nced at him with a scowl.


    “I couldn’t send you elsewhere. Seth knows everything,” he said in a deep tone. “He saved your life.


    You should thank him!”


    Nichs scoffed and smirked.

    “If I remember correctly…” He looked at Zephyr. “He’s the one who saved your life too, right, Mr. Z


    Hamerton?”


    Zephyr glowered immediately as his gaze turned icy and hostile.


    “What did you say?”


    The atmosphere in the hospital ward was tense, and it felt like the temperature had plummeted. The


    two men stared at each other just like that, as if two lions that were about to fight and waiting for


    their opponent to make the critical step.


    After a stretched moment of silence, Nichs was the first one to speak. “You’re actually the one


    who saved my life. You found me on the balcony and didn’t abandon me.


    “I’m in the gangs. I’m not some kind of saint. But I know that one has to be grateful.


    “I learned about your identity a long time ago.” Nichs looked Zephyr in the eyes and lowered his


    voice to say, “You’re the third heir of the Hamertons…


    “Zephyr Hamerton!”


    Zephyr looked at him coldly. His fists on the sides of his body clenched and loosened before they


    quietly tightened again.


    Due to Nichs’ injured state, he looked exhausted after saying so much in a go. He pressed his


    lips together before speaking weakly but clearly, “Yale Hamerton… found Marcus Grist. He’ll attack


    you anytime and make Marcus rece you, lie to the whole world, and get what he wants. You’d


    better be prepared to counter him!”


    Zephyr frowned, and his gaze turned frosty.


    “So, you’re Yale’s subordinate?”


    Nichs shook his head. “He just wants me to do things for him.”


    “So, you’re here to kill me from the start?”


    Nichs looked up at him and arched a brow, wearing a slightly mocking smile.


    “Your woman would’ve long been a widow if I wanted to kill you!”


    “Then why are you telling me these now?”


    Nichs was speechless and took a deep breath. His wound was already hurting, and he grew


    more frustrated with Zephyr’s endless questions.


    Nichs looked like he had given up. “Bro, never mind if you ask why when others are trying to kill


    you. Why are you asking why when others are helping you too?”


    “My second uncle and cousin are my family.” Zephyr looked impassive. “Even blood-rted family


    members are trying to harm me. Who can I trust in this world?


    “Who knows if you’ll turn around and tell my whereabouts to Yale right after this!?


    “You—”


    “Heh! Heh heh…” Nichsughed dryly and was utterly speechless.


    He should have known it. The Hamertons were all sick—they had a serious hereditary illness,


    paranoia! He should not have wanted to repay the kindness for being touched. He should not have


    brought this up at all.


    He was caught in a plight now!


    “Alright, alright!” He sneered. “Mr. Z, it’s up to you! I’m an outsider. I’m not rted to you by blood.


    My words can’t be trusted!


    “But…” Nichs’ gaze was challenging. “If an outsider like me tells your wife about your real


    identity, do you think the innocent bunny will believe it?”
