Zephyr looked at them and responded dully. “Oh.”
It looked like he was not quite interested.
Both men exchanged a look in puzzlement and heard Cordelia’s sweet voice. “Seth and Fredric? Come in, have a
seat!”
It was only then Zephyr moved away with a scowl.
Cordelia greeted them with a nod and smile and went to cut up some fruits in the kitchen.
Seth and Fredric were smart people and could immediately guess what happened when they saw her blush and
Zephyr’s disgruntlement. They could not help chuckling.
It used to be Josiah and Robert who interrupted the couple, so it was quite a surprise that the two of them would be
doing it too.

It was as if his scowl was telling the doctor that he would not let him off the hook if there was no major discovery.
Seth pressed his lips together and retrieved a lab test result. The data on it was mind-boggling.
Despite that, Zephyr had always had extremely strong immunity and analysis ability regarding various data, so he
saw the problem after looking at it.
“These values up here have gone past the normal range?”
“Mm, correct,” answered Seth. “I went to see Yale in secret while he’s being locked up in Yale Residence these days.
He doesn’t look right and rams his head against the wall when he goes berserk… I also found out that Lukas Welkie
secretly injects him with something when no one’s looking.”
Zephyr narrowed his eyes with a cold expression.
“I’m guessing that those people in your family medical team know about this.” Seth continued. “But Yale’s the
eldest grandson, and even if he’s in a slum now, they don’t dare to offend him, so they turn a blind eye.”
“How did you get this report?” asked Zephyr.
“I found a chance to act as someone in the medical team and sneak into Yale Residence. I took Yale’s blood and
picked up the syringe Lukas injected him with to run a lab test with the remaining substance inside.”
Zephyr already had a guess. “It’s a drug?”
“Not the pure kind. One that gives you satisfaction after consuming and is addictive but not as dangerous as the
other drugs.
“But long-term consumption will wreck the immunity system. If he dies when his dependence strikes, the coroner
will likely conclude his death as a sudden death.”
Cordelia placed the fruits on the table and looked at Zephyr with a complicated gaze.
She said softly, “Honey, do you remember that time with Yelena… She was locked in the horse ranch and wasn’t

“Candied drops?” Seth frowned. “I did find something similar in Yale’s bedroom. There are white and pink ones in
the shape of small round drops.”
Fredric spoke up. “They could very well be drugs! Pass me the candied drops. I’ll pass them to a police friend, and
we’ll get the result soon.”
“Mm!” Seth nodded.
Cordelia’s frown was tightly knitted. Things were beginning to clear up in her mind. She connected everything and
muttered, “In this case, Yale and Yelena are really taking drugs, and Lukas knows about this…”
“Darling!” She was alarmed. “Do you think it’s Yale’s doing that grandpa had the addiction last time? It was Lukas
who served grandpa the tonic during that time!”
“That’s right.” Zephyr’s gaze darkened. They were thinking about the same thing.
“Yale’s used Lukas to drug grandpa, but Mr. Welkie’s from Gale Bay. It works for him to pin the blame on my dad
and Aunt Cloud!”
Cordelia bit her lips and called Clark immediately to give him her instructions.
