“Nicholas Thompson!”
Zephyr’s gaze was dark. He exuded an oppressive vibe as well.
“Are you courting death?”
“Hah, looks like you’re afraid?”
Zephyr abruptly raised a hand to choke Nicholas’ throat.
The latter was shocked upon feeling the pressure on his throat increasing. His breathing became
labored.
“You…”
Zephyr narrowed his eyes. The viciousness in his actions was no weaker than the gangsters Nicholas
had met.
Nicholas barely raised his hand to grab Zephyr’s wrist… when the door opened, and Cordelia came in
to be greeted by the scene.

Zephyr regained his cool and slowly unclenched his choke to toss Nicholas aside.
Nicholas coughed but dared not go too hard for fear that his wound would open up again. As he
coughed, he glared at Zephyr.
Cordelia was only concerned for her husband and entirely ignored the patient in bed.
“Darling, are you alright?”
“Hah, what could happen to him?” Nicholas gnashed his teeth. “Didn’t you see that he was the one
choking me when you came in!?”
“Can you keep quiet?” Cordelia glanced at him. “Could I not know what kind of person my husband is?
Would he have choked you if you didn’t provoke him?
“You said something to trigger him just now, didn’t you?
“If you ask me, we shouldn’t have saved someone like you!” Cordelia huffed and slammed the take-out
box on the cabinet before she hurried to appease Zephyr.
“Darling, let’s not get mad with him… We’re not going to be petty with a patient since he’s injured now.”
Zephyr cooled down and held her hand.
Cordelia continued to say with a smile, “Darling, chances are ours to get even when he has recovered!
It’s never too late for revenge!”
“Mm.” Zephyr finally cracked a smile. “I’ll listen to you.”
Cordelia held his face and rubbed it with an indulging grin.
Both of them completely disregarded the wounded man on the bed.
Nicholas’ eyes bulged. This… She defended him without a thought! This was unreasonable! It was
crazy!
“Cough! Cough!” He hacked two loud coughs.
Zephyr and Cordelia looked over in unison.
“Uh, have you heard?” Nicholas chuckled dryly, “The more PDA you show, the faster it dies off…”

“Shut up!” The husband and wife retorted in perfect timing.
Nicholas surrendered and clamped his mouth shut. What else could he do? They were a couple, and
he was alone! If someone could help him now, he would not have to suffer the grand public display of
affection here.
Cordelia sighed, shook her head, and went over to open the take-out box.
“You… made this?” Nicholas’ stomach had been rumbling a long time ago.
Cordelia’s gaze on him was rather hostile. The man had first sought fault with her husband and hurt
Linda. She really wondered why they saved him.
“Eat,” she uttered dryly.
Nicholas took a deep breath and grimaced at her as he held his bandaged hand up. “I can’t move.”
“What do you mean? You aren’t asking me to feed you, are you!?”
“I certainly wouldn’t dare ask that of you!” Nicholas beamed. “But if… If someone could take good care
of me, like how you’re taking care of your husband, heh, I think I’d recover speedily!”
Cordelia caught what he meant immediately. He wanted to ask for Linda. It was just that, did he not
remember what he had said when the two of them met again? He had said that he did not know Linda!
