Chapter 244


    Zephyr heard the water running in the bathroom when he arrived home. His heart clenched, but he


    dared not do anything. He could only stand there quietly.


    He remembered what Seth had said. Cordelia’s unusual behavior was called PTSD.


    …


    “What she has is considered light,” Seth told him. “The best is to treat it with psychological


    intervention, but… it’s better for the doer to undo what he’s done. Since the source of the issue lies


    with you, you’re the best doctor for it.”


    …


    Zephyr took a deep breath. He wanted to take on the role of the doctor as well, but Cordelia gave


    him no chance of approaching her.


    The bathroom door opened, and Cordelia walked out wrapped in a towel. When she looked up and


    met his eyes, she cried in surprise.


    “Cordelia—”


    N?velDrama.Org is the owner.


    Zephyr did not get to say anything before Cordelia hurried into the bedroom and shut the door with


    a lowered head.


    The door felt like a barrier separating them into two worlds.


    After a while, Cordelia opened a crack in the door to peek at him. She saw him cleaning up in their


    small living room and collecting the dryundry from the balcony to fold them.


    He did not know how to fold clothes in the past, but he did it well now. He could do everything and


    change himself for her.


    Cordelia pressed her lips together and felt choked.


    Two dayster, she moved to stay with X. Given what had happened, she preferred to be with


    her mother now.


    Since X was discharged, and with the help of medication, her mental state had been doing much


    better. Her daily life was no longer affected.


    This period was a rare moment when she was conscious and clear-minded. When she heard what


    her daughter had gone through, she was regretful and sad, so she wholeheartedly took care of


    Cordelia.


    Although nightmares still gued Cordelia, she was much more pacified after returning to her


    mother’s side. It was just that she could not forget the man no matter what.


    When it was quiet, and she was alone, she often asked herself. Could this one year of wonderful


    time not reallypare to one identity? She knew that what she truly minded was him keeping it


    from her.


    “What a pity.” X sighed softly. “I haven’t gotten to meet my son-inw even once. Am I not


    meeting him anymore?”


    “Mom!” Cordelia looked at her, suddenly at a loss for words.


    “Cordelia, I think one should follow their heart.” X’s voice was slow and deep. “Status, identity,


    and wealth are external things. A rtionship between two people should be pure without these


    worldly factors.


    “Listen to your heart. If you still love him, you should be with him!”


    “But…” Cordelia was hesitant to speak and pressed her lips together.


    She wore some shoes to head out. “There’s no more vegetables at home. I’ll go get some at the


    supermarket.”


    “Oh, buy a fish too. I’ll cook it for you tonight!”


    Cordelia nodded in agreement, but her mind was still chaotic. Going out for groceries was only an


    excuse. She wanted somewhere quiet for some alone time.


    She unknowingly sat for two hours in the park near the residence and totally forgot about buying


    vegetables or fish.


    It was unexpected that she smelled dinner cooking from the kitchen when she got home.


    Cordelia went in curiously and saw the tall and well-built figure busy in the kitchen.


    X pulled her aside nervously and asked, “Cordelia, is this… Is this my son-inw?”


    Cordelia tried to calm down her breathing.


    “He said that he was Zephyr Hamerton and called me ‘Mom’ once he came in. Didn’t even want tea


    and cleaned up the whole house.


    ‘But… this couch here, I ced it in the center on purpose. He’s pretty strong, pushing it to the wall


    in one go! How am I supposed to push it back!?”
