Zephyr rubbed Cordelia’s hair. “No. I’ll stand by your side no matter what you do.”
“But…” Cordelia did not finish her sentence but pressed her lips together.
“But my wife’s a kind woman.” Zephyr smiled. “She can’t bear for people who love her to be sad, am I right?”
Cordelia looked at him in silence.
He asked softly, “Honey, do you want to hear what I think?”
“Mm!” Cordelia gave a firm nod.
“What I think is actually simple.” Zephyr chuckled. “Firstly, let me ask you a question… Who’s the man you love the
most?”
Cordelia pouted. “Do you even have to ask?”
“I want to hear it from you!”
Was Zephyr being childish again? Cordelia smiled helplessly and knocked on his head. “It’s you!

“Because this is an important question!” He coughed in feigned profoundness and held her hand. “What I want to
say is…
“Everything that happened after the plane crash.”
Cordelia’s heart clenched. She had seen those scars on his body, deep and shallow.
Back when he hid his identity, he had glossed it over, claiming that the scars were from boxing training when she
asked.
When his identity was out in the open, and there was once when they were intimate, she felt the scar on his lower
abdomen, then the rest of them from there to his back. She could no longer hold back from asking about them.
It was only then Zephyr told her that they were left from the plane crash, and he mentioned it in passing lest she
worried when she asked further.
Cordelia was not someone to be hung up over things. Since he did not want to speak more about it, she stopped
asking. It was just that the matter stayed in her mind like a rock.
Zephyr was going to move his rock away now.
She focused with a halted breath, afraid that she would miss a word.
“I was in a private jet that crashed in Jangasas before I could get back to Centrolis. The plane was tinkered with,
and the system malfunctioned at tens of thousands of meters height… Fortunately, the captain was experienced
and got ready for an emergency landing in Jangasas. I had a life jacket and parachute on, but before the
emergency landing could happen, the plane broke apart…
“I was severely injured but got my life back due to those life-saving devices. The worst time was when Seth took
care of me. He did a few surgeries on me, but my chances of surviving were slim.
“It was then that a medicine from Southeast Aciatic saved me.”
Cordelia widened her eyes in disbelief at him, repeating softly, “Southeast Aciatic?”
“Yes, Southeast Aciatic, the Irwins.”

“It was Rowan Irwin.” Zephyr licked his lips and said clearly, “It was… dad.”
This was the first time he changed “old geezer” to “dad”.
Rowan would never have thought that the first one to call him dad on his journey of reuniting with his family was
not his daughter or son but the person he once disliked the most.
Cordelia took a deep breath, her mind a mess.
Zephyr said seriously, “Cordelia, he saved my life.”
“Mm…”
“No matter how much wrong he has done, he saved the man you love the most.” Zephyr chuckled.
Cordelia trembled.
If it were not for Rowan, Zephyr might have already died, and she would have never ended up with him. Did that
mean that… he had recompensed his wrongdoing?
What about the years of hardship she, her mother, and her brother had gone through?
After a long time, Cordelia placed her hand on top of the back of Zephyr’s hand and said softly, “For you, I can
forget about what he’s done on my part… But I can’t forgive him on behalf of mom and Carter. I don’t have the
right to do that either.”
