Ch. 771..780

Chapter 771

Chapter 771

Cordelia felt a squeeze in her heart. She turned around and leaned in Zephyr's embrace softly. He would always give her a sense of security.

She slept soundly that night. When she woke up the next day, she realized Zephyr was no longer next to her.

However, the fragrance of toasted bread came from downstairs.

With her huge belly, she went to check it out. Zephyr was busy working in the kitchen. The domestic staff stood quietly, watching him create chaos in the kitchen.

"Wifey, you're up?" Zephyr stretched his neck to smile at her.

Cordelia suddenly recalled the time when he took the initiative to cook for her when she took leave due to menstrual cramps back in Jangasas. In the end... Not only did he turn the kitchen upside down, but his breakfast was also a burnt egg and oat porridge with very little oat in it.

She chuckled and walked over to look.

It was much better now. Although the kitchen was messy, he had improved his cooking skills.

He made her a rainbow-like breakfast. There was red from tomatoes, yellow from corn, green from parsley, and purple from sweet potato.

Cordelia looked back, gave him a hug, and complimented him in Chaisene, "My husband is the best!"

The domestic staff looked at each other and smiled. They could not bear to watch them show affection, so they brought the breakfast to the dining room and cleaned the mess.

Zephyr held the bowl and fed his wife pumpkin porridge, one spoonful after another.

Cordelia wiped her lips. "Hubby, it's the weekend. What plans do you have?"

"Do you want to go out?"

"Mm-hmm... I want to visit my parents."

He smiled and agreed.

Rowan and Xyla were staying at the hotel under the Baker Group as well. They were Neil's neighbors.

It would mean that they should have met Aurelia.

Cordelia munched on the sweet potato bun while falling into deep thought. "If my parents like Aurelia, I'm thinking... to ask them to bring her to Southeast Aciatic." "What?" Zephyr was stunned.

"She won't have an identity no matter where she is anyway, but she has skills!" Cordelia looked at him. "Even Neil said that her embroidery skill is better than the seamstress in Southeast Aciatic!

"If we can train her properly, given the... relationship our family has with the royalty, it shouldn't be an issue to give her an identity."

"Hmm." Zephyr agreed flatly. "Let's not worry about someone else. You're the most important person in the entire family now!" She pursed her lips and smiled.

At that moment, their doorbell was ringing in a rushed manner.

The butler went to get the door. Soon, a polite police sergeant walked over.

Zephyr was slightly surprised to see him. He greeted him with a smile. "Why are you here, Will?"

Will Orwell bowed courteously.

He was an old friend of the Bakers. Thanks to the Bakers, he had been promoted from an officer to a sergeant.

He was as old as Zephyr. He would ask him out to drink or play golf every time the latter visited.

"Is it your day off today?" Zephyr patted his shoulder while smiling. "But I can't hang out with you today. My wife is due soon, so I must stay with her."

Will forced a smile. He looked rather moody.

Zephyr noticed something was wrong. "You have something to tell me?"

The former calmed down, took out his phone, and played a video.

It had been taken at the film set, and Aurelia was in it!

"What..." Cordelia was annoyed. "That seems to be the day when Aurelia was at Trinity's shooting location."

Zephyr was stunned.

"Did you forget?" Cordelia reminded him. "Trinity was amending the script while Neil took Aurelia to visit her. She got Trinity's attention! She even took many pictures of her." Will looked serious. "Mrs. Hamerton, that means... you know this girl?"

"I..."

Cordelia looked at Zephyr with hesitation.

He held her shoulders. "Will is family. There's no need to hide from him."

Zephyr then looked at Will. "That's right. We know Aurelia. What's wrong with that, Will?"

"It's complicated." Will frowned. "Do you know who leaked this video?"

"Who?"

"Ava."

Zephyr and Cordelia were stunned at the same time.

"Ava is in detention, waiting for trial. But I don't know why she has this video on her phone. She even sent it to us herself... I knew she is your cousin, so I got this video from my colleague. Do you know what happened?"

"I..." Zephyr was at a loss for words. Cordelia was the same too.

They did not have the time to think about why Ava had that video.

The current trouble was that the authorities noticed Aurelia now.

"If it were me who saw this video, I'd delete it secretly... But too bad my colleagues have seen it," said Will. "They quickly investigated. The girl has no identity, and she's not registered under any system. She lives in the slum area in the south, always hanging out with the nomads."

Will said in all seriousness, "Mr. Hamerton, Mrs. Hamerton, according to the law, we must chase her out of the country!"

Cordelia said worriedly. "Sir, can you show mercy and give us some time? We..."

Will's phone rang at that moment.

He walked aside to pick up the call. He turned around a moment later, looking even more serious now.

Zephyr had a bad feeling and asked in a deep voice, "Something happened?"

Will nodded.

"Someone from the squad said she's wanted!"

"What?"

"I guess you don't know that we get credit for capturing people like that. So..." Will took a deep breath in and adjusted his hat. A chilly gleam flashed on the gun on his waist.

"But don't worry. I'll go back to check the situation. If she's being taken to the station, I guarantee her safety. She won't be hurt!"

Will turned around to leave right after that.

Cordelia calmed down and called Neil immediately.

It took a while before he picked up his phone.

"Where are you?"

"I'm in class!" His voice was lazy. "Your Mr. Z put me in so many classes. If I don't hone my acting skills, won't I be wasting my boss' kindness?"

"Come back now!" Cordelia said in a rush. "Something happened to Aurelia!"

Chapter 772

Chapter 772

Aurelia was sitting in the police station.

There were cameras everywhere in the small room. She knew numerous eyes were watching everything she was doing behind the cameras. Two police officers were standing in front of her. Their expressionless faces were cold, and they stared at her like ice sculptures.

She was terrified and did not know what would happen to her. However, she tried her best not to show it. She would lose hope as soon as that happened.

"Sunny?" One of the local police officers had asked her this question many times. "What's your family name?"

Aurelia remained silent. She had been like that since she came in, not uttering a single word.

"Do you not understand what we're saying?" The other police officer's eyes were fierce. "Do you need an interpreter?"

Aurelia sat up straight with her head low. Her curled eyelashes shook slightly.

The officers asked all of the questions again like a routine.

"How did you get to Chaiseland?

"What's your usual source of income?

"Where were you when the shooting incident in the south happened?

"You were at the Baker Group's hotel when we captured you. Why were you staying there?"

Aurelia's lips were pale from biting them. She squeezed the corner of her shirt.

In reality, she had thought about the worst thing that could happen to her-she would be chased out of the country. She would just stay somewhere else if she could not stay in Chaiseland. She would not have an identity, no matter where she was anyway.

She had no place to live, people were disgusted by her, and she was hiding like a rat, being a nomad all her life...

She was not afraid of all that.

However, she was afraid of dragging Neil into this mess.

They were asking about the Baker Group's hotel.

No matter what, she could not tell them that it was Neil who got her to stay in the hotel.

Aurelia calmed her mind and remained silent. She was not brave, actually. In reality, her hands and feet were frozen from the scare.

The only thing she was holding on to was not dragging Neil into this.

She knew what she should say and what she should not.

However, she knew that as long as she said nothing, the officers could not find any flaws in what she said. As such, she would not drag Neil in.

She took a deep breath in and tried her best not to cry.

The officers were losing their patience, and one of them slammed the table. The deafening sound startled her!

"Don't you think we'll let you off just by pretending to be mute and deaf!" The officer gnashed his teeth. "We've seen many scoundrels like you! We've captured those nomads that were with you. They've admitted to it, yet you still don't want to spill the truth?"

Aurelia lifted her eyes in shock.

Admit? Admit what?

Her nomadic neighbors could not recognize Neil, but they knew she had saved Fredric!

Aurelia's heart was pounding, and her brain was foggy.

"Ms. Sunny." The officer smiled in pride, thinking they had already broken her walls down. "The best thing for you to do now is to answer us truthfully. Then, we'll get people to send you to the border. You can decide where to go by then!"

Aurelia had been detained in the police station for three days.

Throughout the three days, she could not contact anyone. The only person who could pass her messages was Will. He guaranteed Zephyr and Cordelia that she was good there. Even though she was being questioned, it would not be 24 hours. She was given time to rest.

However, as a sergeant, he had to set a good example. Even though he was protecting her, he could not be too obvious.

Cordelia nodded. She peeped at Neil, who looked down as he leaned on the couch. He had dark eye circles and looked exhausted, and his hair was messy.

Throughout the three days, Aurelia had been suffering there while he had been suffering on his own.

Will was about to leave after briefing them.

At that moment, Neil, who had been silent, suddenly stood up to ask. "When can I see her?"

Chapter 773

Chapter 773

Will was stunned. He said. "I'm afraid you won't see her until she's chased out of the country."

Neil shouted emotionally, "Why!?"

"According to the law, after being questioned, she'll be sent to the border by the authorities. They'll have to watch her leave. And the process is very strict, so you won't be able to see her." Neil's face paled. He fell silent.

A moment later, Will said while looking at him, "Mr. Harris, the questioning period usually won't go past five days... So, perhaps you can see her from far away at the police station's door on the last day."

Neil was like a deflated balloon. He went back to the couch.

Will left the villa.

Cordelia and Zephyr sat next to Neil on each side. Just when they were going to talk to him, he suddenly stood up again.

They were shocked.

He then ran out as if he had gone mad.

"Hey..." Cordelia yelled at him from behind, but Zephyr pulled her.

"Let him be. Don't stop him."

"Do you know where he's going?"

"To the police station, of course!" He was sure of that.

Just like when Cordelia had been accused of leaking her company's confidential information back then, Zephyr had rushed back to Jangasas from Chaiseland like a madman. He had been waiting for her at the police station.

Therefore, he could understand what Neil was feeling completely.

Zephyr held her shoulders and said. "Cordelia, the only thing we can do now is to wait."

Cordelia sighed. Her belly suddenly felt uncomfortable, as if something was dropping...

She took deep breaths, and sweat started dripping from her nose. The periodical pain was getting more and more intense!

"What's wrong, wifey?" He was nervous.

"I..." She panted. "I'm feeling some pain. I think the baby is coming..."

As soon as Cordelia said that, she felt something warm rushing out of her.

Zephyr quickly carried her and got the driver ready.

Her water broke when they rushed to the hospital. She felt as if there was a rock stuck inside of her. It hurt so much that she could not even cry. "Deep breaths, Mrs. Hamerton!

"Hang on. It'll be over soon!"

Cordelia was drenched in sweat from the pain as if she just came out of a pool.

Although she was due, she thought she had some time to prepare. She did not expect their baby to come so soon!

Naturally, it was even more painful now that it was coming so quickly.

Cordelia could not hold back and screamed. Zephyr had been holding her hand tight, and his heart was torn into a million pieces.

"Mr. Hamerton, she's going to the delivery room soon. Please wait outside."

"I'm going into the delivery room with her!"

He did not want to let her go.

"Umm..." The doctors looked at each other. They agreed to his request in the end.

He put on the sterile suit and waited by her side.

He watched her suffer, listened to her painful shriek, and experienced how difficult it was for her to have this child.

At that moment, he hated himself for not being able to share the pain with her.

"Don't worry, Mr. Hamerton. She's well, so we're giving her an epidural now. The labor will be less painful..."

He nodded and looked at Cordelia. "You're getting an epidural, wifey. Be good... Don't be scared. I'm here with you!"

Cordelia turned her face to look at him. She forced a smile on her face that was filled with sweat.

"I-I'm not hurting."

Zephyr could no longer hold back. He had tears in his eyes.

Chapter 774

Chapter 774

The doctor advised Zephyr to step back. They guaranteed that Cordelia and their child would be fine.

He was pacing back and forth in the delivery room.

Cordelia did not want him to worry, so she tried her best to bite her lip and remained silent. She pushed according to the doctors' instructions. Perhaps due to the epidural, or perhaps because she had gotten used to the pain and rhythm, she thought it did not seem to hurt as much now. "Good, Mrs. Hammerton..." The nurse was helping. "Now, take a deep breath and push!

"Go on, push!

"We see the baby's head now, Mrs. Hammerton!"

Zephyr was dying from anxiety.

"You're doing great, Mrs. Hammerton. Keep pushing like that!

"Hang on. The baby is coming out soon!"

Cordelia was numb now. She felt her body seemed to be torn in half. She was no longer in control as the baby kept pushing out of her body itself, forcing her to use all her strength.

"Wah-"

A loud cry suddenly echoed. The war was considered to have stopped for now.

Cordelia was exhausted. She was finally relieved and leaned her head on the bed.

Zephyr was excited. He stood where he was with his hands shaking.

"Congratulations, Mr. Hammerton!" The doctor carried the baby over to him. "It's a boy, and he's 8.8 pounds!"

He was stunned. That would mean the baby was almost four kilograms. No wonder he cried so loudly, so it was a big baby!

The doctor showed the baby to Cordelia before bringing it for a bath.

Then, the nurse started cleaning her up.

Zephyr stood aside, frozen like a sculpture.

He was excited to have a son now, but an endless sadness came after.

How much pain had Cordelia endured to give birth to this chubby son?

Zephyr had heard that women were risking their lives when they gave birth. He did not really understand that.

However, he had complicated feelings after witnessing what happened in the delivery room.

He dared not think what he would do if something were to happen to Cordelia when she was giving birth.

How would he live alone in this world?

If the child survived, but he lost Cordelia, would he hate the child...

Zephyr slowly squatted on the ground while covering his face. The doctors and nurse thought it was strange, but none of them dared to disturb him. Nobody knew there were so many things playing in his head at the moment.

The obstetrics director, a kind, local lady, checked Cordelia's wound and walked to him after ensuring everything was fine.

"Mr. Hamerton, aren't you going to see your wife?"

At that moment, Zephyr snapped back to his senses.

He quickly stood up, rushed to Cordelia, and held her hands tightly.

"Cordelia..." He was choking after calling her name.

Cordelia smiled at him. Sweat filled her pale face while her eyes were filled with a mother's joy.

She stretched her arm to touch his face.

The lights in the delivery room were a little glaring. She could not see accurately, but she saw that his eyes seemed to be red while his tears were falling.

This man, who was close to 1.9 meters tall, was usually cold and decisive. Yet, he was crying before her now.

She wiped his tears immediately. "What's wrong, hubby... Don't do this!"

"I'm okay."

"Why are you crying? Aren't you happy that I gave birth to a baby?"

Zephyr squeezed a smile. "I am."

Chapter 775

Chapter 775

The smile that was uglier than a cry made Cordelia laugh.

"Why do you look like that!?"

"Because..." Zephyr said softly. "I'm hurting because you're hurting."

She smiled and said. "You fool."

He caressed her sweaty hair and gave a light peck on her forehead.

...

The seniors were worried outside the delivery room.

Rowan would lean on the door every now and then to check-though there was no gap at all.

Xyla was anxious. She had experienced the pain of childbirth. She was in pain that her daughter was going through the same thing.

She prayed to herself that she was willing to give everything she had in return for Cordelia and the baby's lives.

Janine was anxious too. Apart from the people here, there was an ongoing video call-Henry, Kate, and Zennie were waiting worriedly too.

At that moment, a loud cry came. Everyone jumped up as if they were electrocuted and surrounded the delivery room.

Soon, the nurse carried that clean baby out to tell them the good news.

The corridor was suddenly lively.

Everyone was excited to carry the baby, but nobody really dared to carry it.

The nurse smiled and said, "The father is still in the delivery room with the mother. She's still too weak. Why don't we get him out to carry the baby first?"

Everyone agreed. "Yes, yes. The father will carry him first!"

At that moment, the doctors brought Cordelia into the VIP ward while Zephyr followed.

Everyone stood outside the ward. Joy filled the air.

"Quickly, Zen!" Janine was smiling. "Carry your son!"

Zephyr bent his back, and pride filled his face.

He had taken a quick look before his son was born, then the nurses took him away for a bath. He was all clean now, wearing his tiny clothes, wrapped in a tiny blanket. Cordelia felt much better now. He finally had the mood to take a good look at his own son.

As if he was in a ceremony, he looked strict as he walked to the nurse step by step with his arms up. He was ready to carry his son.

The nurse could not help but laugh as she instructed him. "Lower your arms, Mr. Hamerton... That's right, don't be nervous. Relax."

He was not the only one whose heart was pounding. Everyone else was so nervous that they dared not breathe loudly.

The baby was too soft, and Zephyr was scared that he would hurt him if he held him wrong. His body remained stiff as his son lay in his arms.

"Please relax, Mr. Hamerton!"

Zephyr was drenched in sweat. He was relaxed, but why did he become so nervous when they looked at him?

Maybe he should say something relaxing!

"Ha, I have a son now!" He smiled. "This is my son. He's so..."

He lowered his head, looked at the baby, and suddenly stopped. "Ugly."

Janine's face changed. She was eager to slam her new Acmes on his head.

"You unfilial sun!"

"Mom, I'm serious..."

"Shut your mouth!"

"Hubby..." Cordelia could no longer stay still. She struggled up. "Show me the baby."

Zephyr carefully carried the baby to her.

"He looks a little... ugly?"

Why did he look like that? His head was pointy, and he was wrinkly. His eyes, nose, and lips were squeezed together.

So, were the pictures of those big-eyed angelic babies she usually saw fake?

"Hubby, I can't believe I gave birth to an ugly baby..."

"It's okay." Zephyr quickly comforted her. "He's our son no matter how ugly he is. If nobody wants him in the future, we'll just feed him for the rest of his life!"

Xyla could no longer listen to their nonsense. She smiled. "What nonsense are you talking about? Which baby is pretty when they're just born? It's not bad that he looks like this!"

Chapter 776

Chapter 776

"That's right!" The nurse smiled. "Mr. and Mrs. Hamerton, newborn babies are like this. Their heads are pointy because they are squeezed in the birth canal. Everything will go back to normal soon. About him being... ugly? I think he's beautiful! I've been delivering babies for years. It's rare to see such a beautiful baby!"

Cordelia and Zephyr lowered their heads to look at their baby again.

He seemed to look prettier now.

His eyes were closed, and he was sucking his thumb. He was chubby and cute.

"This baby has a full forehead and round chin. He's a lucky baby!" Rowan could not stop smiling. "Zen, Cordelia, have you guys thought of his name?"

They were stunned. They had not thought about that yet.

Xyla held her daughter's hand. "Cordelia, you'll need to get the senior's opinion when it comes to naming the baby. I mean, you'll have to ask Zen's grandfather. Get it?"

"Oh..."

"What's there to ask!?" Janine waved. "Our Cordelia gave birth to the child. What? Can't the mother give the baby the name she wants?"

"Janine!" Xyla frowned.

"Don't worry. Our daughter-in-law won't have to follow the rules in the family!" Janine held her best friend's arm. "His name aside, I'll be okay with it even if they want him to take her family name! Hahaha... "Am I right, son?"

Zephyr was unsure whether to laugh or cry, but he agreed with his mother's words.

His darling wife risked her life to give birth to the child, so she could name the baby whatever she wanted.

"But..." The sensible Cordelia lifted her eyes to look at her husband. "Zen, let's get grandpa to name him!"

"What?"

"It's your son. Let's go with the Hamertons' rules." She smiled. "I know that your family has their genealogy chart. They have their way of naming their children according to the generation. What would they like to name the next generation?"

'Hmm...'

Even Zephyr did not know that.

Zephyr made a video call to Liam, and his grandfather scolded him. "You forgot about our genealogy chart, you terrible kid? Cordelia remembers it better than you do, even though she has just given birth to a child!

"When is she coming back? Sigh, the Hamertons will only be in perfect order after my darling granddaughter-in-law takes over..."

In the video call, Liam rolled his eyes at Zephyr as if he had wasted so much effort on him. He even thought that he was useless!

"Calm down, grandpa." Zephyr chuckled. "She'll have to finish her confinement before coming home!"

"Okay!"

"Umm, give the baby a name, grandpa!"

Liam fell in deep thought for a moment. A smile showed on his old face.

"We should go by something heroic for this generation. Let's name him Zuko Hamerton."

"Zuko?"

"That's right." Liam used his pen to write down the name on the paper.

His handwriting was strong. One could not tell that an old man wrote it.

"A gentleman who is destined to be glorified." He played with his beard in satisfaction as he said with a smile, "I hope that my darling great-grandson will be elegant like an academic, as well as brave like a knight! He'll spread the Hamertons' glory!

"To put it in layman's terms, I hope that he'll be tall, rich, and handsome! Hahaha..."

Zephyr was rendered speechless.

"Grandpa, he'll easily achieve that small goal."

"Is it?" Liam raised his eyebrows. "I've trained you myself for so many years. Apart from being rich, have you achieved the other two?"

"I..."

"If the Hamerstons weren't rich, could you have married such an amazing wife like Cordelia? Could you have given birth to a smart, cute, good, and handsome son?"

Zephyr quickly hung up the call and turned to check on his wife.

Chapter 777

Chapter 777

Cordelia had yet to breastfeed as she had just given birth. She was hurting from her swollen breasts.

The doctor carried Zuko to her. It was a baby's instinct to drink milk. She would feel less uncomfortable after she breastfed. However, it failed after a few attempts.

Newborn babies were too weak. Zuko kept crying from hunger, worrying Cordelia.

"Maybe..." Zephyr licked his lips. "I should help our son?"

"What?" Cordelia was stunned.

They were the only ones in the ward. He placed their son in the cradle while he sat before his wife and removed her shirt.

Cordelia was shocked. "What are you doing?!"

"The baby's weak, but I'm strong!"

"Zen..."

Cordelia was flushing-even her ears were red.

However, that sounded like a legitimate solution. They could not just let the baby keep crying.

"Wifey, I'm not trying to take advantage of you!" Zephyr explained with intention. "I-I just want to feed our son...'

Of course, it had been a long time since he last touched her. Thus, he had his intentions of doing it...

Cordelia removed her shirt with her eyes looking down. "Okay, do it quickly..."

Zephyr smirked mischievously.

As he was inching closer, someone knocked on the door.

His expression changed. Janine came in the next second, holding something.

She was stunned when she saw what Zephyr was doing. "W-What are you doing?"

Cordelia looked away shyly.

However, he remained calm. "My son can't drink her milk, so I..."

The new Acmes that Janine had bought came in handy as she slammed his back.

"Zen!" She glared at him. "Don't you know there's something called the breast pump in the world?"

Cordelia could not stop laughing. She got the breast pump from Janine.

Soon, Zuko fell asleep after being fed.

"1

Cordelia's milk was plenty, and it was of good quality. She stored the leftover milk properly. They would pour it into the milk bottle and heat it up before feeding Zuko at night. Zephyr slept next to them.

As soon as the baby cried, he would wake up before Cordelia did.

Heating up the milk, feeding, burping the baby, getting him to sleep... He did it clumsily at first. Their son had such a big appetite that he would wake up three to four times every night and repeat it three to four times.

"Practice makes perfect." He soon mastered it while Cordelia could sleep through the night.

Zephyr had been taking care of Zuko throughout the two days.

He was growing and did not look as ugly as when he was born. He still had some jaundice, but it subsided after being under the sun.

Zephyr loved him and would smile at him daily, teaching him to call him "daddy".

"Daddy, daddy... Say 'daddy, darling..."

Zuko was confused.

'Hmm? This is strange. Why does this man keep calling me "Daddy"?"

"Hubby!" Cordelia thought he was being silly. "He's so young. He's just drinking and sleeping every day. How would he know what you're talking about?" Zephyr smirked. He had to train him young.

Moreover, he was a little selfish. He hoped that his darling son's first word would be "daddy".

Chapter 778

Chapter 778

"Hubby!" Cordelia was still hungry after she drank the soup and looked at Zephyr shyly. "I'd like more food."

He instantly served her the food Janine sent.

"Hubby, am I a glutton..."

"No!" Zephyr smiled. "I'm just happy you're not craving in-flight meals now!"

She smiled too. However, Janine followed the confinement's food standard when she prepared the food. It was bland without any seasoning. Although Janine was hungry, she had no appetite when she looked at the food.

"What's wrong, wifey?"

"I..." She hesitated.

Cordelia was not the kind of person who would trouble others.

She was taken care of now, and it was the kindness that her mother-in-law gave. She was too shy to ask for things.

Zephyr was observant and realized the issue instantly.

He tasted the food-all of the dishes were tasteless. He then lifted his eyes to look at her and chuckled. "You don't like them?"

She forced a smile and picked up the spoon to eat.

However, Zephyr stopped her.

Then, he mysteriously took a tiny bottle out of his pocket.

Her eyes lit up. "You carry salt with you!?"

"This food is tasteless. How does one eat it?"

He was sprinkling salt onto the food.

Cordelia immediately grabbed his hand. "Mom said no!"

"Who else said no?"

"My... parents said no too." She lowered her voice.

Rowan and Xyla had told her that her food had to be bland. If she consumed too much salt, her milk would be below par and would harm Zuko. "They said no." Cordelia looked at him in all seriousness.

There was gentleness flashing through his deep eyes. "But I'm saying yes!"

"Zen..."

"I asked the doctor. It's okay to use a little bit of salt." Zephyr smiled in an alluring manner. He pinched some salt and sprinkled it on the dishes.

The amount was insignificant, but it gave Cordelia joy, who had been eating tasteless food.

"It won't affect your milk if the quantity is low." Zephyr played with her hair while feeding her one spoonful after another.

"Cordelia, it's my mom's first time being a grandmother. She might be overdoing many things. Just like this, she put zero salt in the food after hearing that women who have just given birth can't eat salt... Don't be mad at her."

Cordelia felt warmth in her, and her eyes turned red.

Janine was used to pampering. Even Zephyr had never tasted her food. However, she now cooked for her daughter-in-law, treating her like her own daughter.

Why would she be mad at her?

Meanwhile, Zephyr had been watching her emotions, caring for her mood swings before and after childbirth. That made her want to cry out of nowhere.

Some people said that marriage was a woman's second reincarnation.

Cordelia thought her reincarnation felt like she had saved the entire humanity in her past life.

"What's wrong, Cordelia?" Zephyr wiped her tears nervously. "They say you can't cry during the confinement, or you'll be sick!"

"I'm not crying..." She smiled with tears in her eyes. She then leaned into his embrace coquettishly. "I just thought... This life is too short."

"Huh? What do you mean?"

"I don't only want to be your wife in this life." She lifted her eyes to look at him. "I want to be your wife in my next life, my next next life, forever and ever!"

Chapter 779

Chapter 779

Zephyr was gentle as he whispered into Cordelia's ear. "Didn't we make our promise on this? No matter which life, we'll be together. We'll never be apart."

At that moment, Zuko, who was in the cradle, opened his eyes and stared at them.

His face was blank. He did not know that his parents were showing off their affection in front of him.

He started crying to get attention.

Zephyr quickly got up to comfort him. He was an experienced father now. Knowing that he had just been fed, Zuko should not be crying because of hunger. Thus, Zephyr checked his diaper. As expected, he felt something warm in there...

He laughed. "It's a gift from our son. It's huge!"

Cordelia chuckled and searched through her bag. She found some handmade clothes to get him to change Zuko.

"Aurelia made these." Cordelia fell into deep thought. "Sigh, I wonder how she is now."

Almost everyone had come for Cordelia's childbirth-Neil was the only one missing.

"It's the fifth day today," Zephyr said in a deep voice. "I heard from Will that she has gone through all of the procedures. She'll be taken to the border tomorrow."

"What about Neil?"

Zephyr shook his head.

"If he's willing to bring Aurelia to Southeast Aciatic, with his relationship with the royalty, it'll be a piece of cake for her to earn her identity.

"But that's under the premise that Neil is willing to do that." Zephyr looked at her. "Wifey, stop worrying about them. Sometimes, it's all about fate."

Aurelia had finally left her cell.

Apart from being questioned, she had been asked to sign her name on all sorts of documents these days.

At that moment, six armed police officers stood before her, looking at her expressionlessly.

This scene had often appeared in her dreams, and she would be woken up each time from the shock.

However, she was extraordinarily calm this time.

Will walked over slowly and nodded at her.

She revealed a smile of gratitude.

Because of this kind sergeant, those officers had not given her a hard time.

He got the officers to leave so that he could speak to her alone.

They stood across from each other and fell into silence for a long time. The first thing he said was something apologetic. "Sorry."

Aurelia was stunned before quickly saying. "Don't say that. I should thank you!"

"I'm really helpless with your identity. We can only chase you out."

She forced a smile. "You've done plenty for me..."

"Oh yeah." Will chuckled. "Mrs. Hamerton has given birth. It's a boy, and the mother and child are doing great.

He showed her pictures on his phone.

Aurelia was happy. It was her happiest since she was captured.

"C-Can I see them one more time? I'm not trying to play anything. I just want to thank them. I'm leaving Chaiseland and don't know where I'll be. I'm afraid I won't see them ever again...' The smile on Will's face froze. He slowly said a moment later, "No."

Aurelia expected that answer, so she forced a smile.

She could not see Cordelia or Neil.

They were from two different worlds.

No matter where she would be in the future, she would pray for them.

An officer out there knocked. "Sergeant Orwell, it's time."

Aurelia bowed at him again and walked to the door with determination.

Chapter 780

Chapter 780

Aurelia was locked in a small room in the cabin with a few other illegal immigrants, and police officers were guarding outside.

The boat was big and slow on the sea, but the rise and fall of waves bobbed the boat. Aurelia had never been on a boat, so she felt dizzy.

She rested near a window where there was a gap opened. A salty sea breeze blew in and ruffled her long chestnut hair.

Aurelia dry heaved, and the illegal immigrants around her shot her sympathetic looks. However, they could barely protect themselves, so they could do nothing aside from offering their sympathy. A police officer opened the door not too long later and asked all of them to go out.

Aurelia suppressed her discomfort and stumbled out of the boat. It had arrived at the open sea, away from Chaiseland, and would go to Eropah if it kept going forward. These illegal immigrants came from Eropah and were now being repatriated.

Aurelia was not from there. She had grown up in Melorian. "Repatriate" was incredibly mocking and absurd to her. Where was she supposed to return to?

Her mind was blank.

There were a few private boats drifting over from the open sea that were mainly in this business-to send the illegal immigrants back to where they should return to and collect fees from them.

"Go on!" The police officer's icy voice snapped Aurelia out of her daze.

She turned around and met the officer's mocking gaze.

"Miss, have a good journey! Don't come to Chaiseland ever!"

"I..." Aurelia was pale. The boat shook so much that it nauseated her.

"Let's go." The old nomad lady who was also in the boat looked at her with a complicated gaze.

Aurelia's eyes were pained. "Where should I go?"

"Wherever you've come from!" The old lady chuckled wryly. "I came from Feranche. After leaving for so many years, it's about time I go back.

"Sunny, if you really don't have a place to go, come to Feranche with me? We nomads make everywhere home. We can live anywhere!"

The old lady hopped into a boat after she spoke to bargain with the boatman.

Aurelia looked at the endless open sea and was temporarily lost. Sorrow flooded her heart, and she felt like jumping into the sea. Death felt easier than staying alive.

"Hey, Sunny!" the old nomad lady shouted for her, "Are you coming? It's cheaper for two!"

Aurelia took a deep breath. The police officer behind her wore an impatient look. She had no other choice. Just when she was going to join the old lady, a loud noise came from the sky.

A helicopter appeared in the sky above the boat and shaded the sun. Aurelia felt her surroundings dimming suddenly, and her ears boomed with the loud propeller noise.

The police officer on the boat was alarmed and fired a shot as a warning, but the boat captain came out after a while to ask the officers to lower their guns.

The helicopter had already sent a signal to the boat, and it was legal for it to appear here.

The officers kept their guns, and the sailors began to wave instructions, allowing the helicopter to land on the deck shortly.

Aurelia could barely open her eyes due to the strong wind caused by the propellers.

The next second, she saw the familiar person walk out of the helicopter like he was a descended deity like she was dreaming. Her heart nearly stopped.

Aurelia looked at him in a daze. She had thought that she would never see him again.

Neil slowly walked to her. His heel against the deck was heavy and loud.

He was the only thing in Aurelia's dark brown eyes under the sun.

Neil looked at her thin face and suppressed his urge to pinch her. Why must this girl look so dazzling? She had just visited the set, and someone had taken a video of her to hand it to the police! What happened to her usual quick wits? There was someone of their own in the police station, so it was not even that difficult for her to figure out a way to call him!

Was she really going to leave without a word coming to the open sea like this?

Neil's heart felt heavy and sluggish. He wanted to scold and flick her, to vent his temper on her, but... he wanted to hug her more.

He breathed out a long exhale and turned to the police officer.

"I'll take this girl with me."
