Matthew was dumbfounded. His pride could not bear it being embarrassed like this in broad daylight.

In spite of it, it was still fine that others ignored him-Yale was pretending not to see him too! He was going to call for Yale only to discover that his wonderful son had slipped away from the crowd in secret!

"Yale! Yale Hamerton!" Matthew was furious. "You brat!"

"Clark, help me back!"

Clark glanced at him and said, "My apologies, Mr. Matthew. I have to hurry upstairs. Someone has to be by Elder Mr. Hamerton's side!"

"You..."

Before Matthew could lash out, Zephyr instructed everyone with the sense of authority of the family head, "Grandpa's no longer in a critical state. Stop crowding here! Off to whatever you should be doing!" All of them answered in unison, "Yes, Mr. Zephyr!"

Zephyr smiled and left, holding Cordelia's hand.

"Hey, what do I do when all of you are leaving!?" Matthew flailed, frozen on the spot. "Zephyr! You b*stard... At least leave someone with me!

"Come back!

"Hey!"

"Mr. Matthew, please quiet down." Rowan snickered. "Your father's resting. You wouldn't want to wake him up, would you?"

Helpless, Matthew could only glare as the group of people left right before his eyes.

Rowan could see Charlie waiting for him from the front yard not too far away. He picked up his pace to get in the car when a low "thank you" came from behind him. He froze before turning around and meeting Zephyr's deep gaze.

Rowan held on to his pride and rolled his eyes, not planning to regard the younger man.

As Zephyr looked at Rowan, he could not help chuckling when he suddenly thought that the latter was acting just like Ginger at home.

"What are you laughing at?" Rowan glared at him.

"Nothing," Zephyr replied faintly. "Mr. Irwin, I was serious just now. Thank you very much."

"You're thanking me for saving your grandfather or for making your uncle wet himself?"

Zephyr pressed his lips together speechlessly.

"Don't think so highly of yourself!" Rowan snorted. "I'm not here for you!"

Yes, he was there for Cordelia. If he had not wanted to show off himself in front of his daughter, even ten Hamerton families combined would not be able to get him to budge. Zephyr's feelings when he faced Rowan were currently complicated and contradictory.

He did not hate this old geezer anymore but thought the following days would be quite interesting with a father-in-law like this. It was just that he was worried about Cordelia. Cordelia's over 20 years of hardships could not be recompensed so easily.

"That's all, right?" Rowan glared at him. "I'm leaving in that case!"

"Hold on, Mr. Irwin!" Zephyr quickly stopped him. "There's one more thing I'd like you to find out!"

"What is it?" Rowan squinted.

"Please find out what other things are in the meds my grandpa takes."

Rowan paused.

After checking on Liam earlier, he had said that the ingredients in the tonic medicine were good nourishment items, but the ratio was wrong.

There was actually something he had not said there was an addictive ingredient in there! He had yet to find out what ingredient that was, so he dared not mention it. Rowan had always been cautious, never bringing up anything without solid evidence.
