“Hey, don’t say that.” Nicholas echoed. “He finally got a wife. Of course, he’s got to keep a close eye on
her…”
“It’s okay, even if she’s got a scratch!” A vendor’s voice came from the side suddenly. “I have meds
here, special formula. No scars left, guaranteed!”
Nicholas and Linda guffawed.
On the other hand, Cordelia was attracted by the intricate-looking bottle and checked it out. It had retro
packaging and was only a small bottle that was handy. It was the first time she saw a medicine that
was manufactured like a piece of art.
The vendor grinned at her. “Miss, do you want to buy one? This is from Xywan Pharmaceuticals. It’s
been selling for over a decade. It’s fair and genuine!”
“Xywan Pharmaceuticals?”
“Yeah! Irwin’s medicinal drugs manufacturing company!”
Zephyr furrowed his brows at that.

The party continued walking for a bit and came to a place where it was less crowded. Linda pulled
Cordelia along to try out the street food while the men followed them.
Nicholas noticed that Zephyr’s expression was off.
“What’s the matter?”
“Nothing,” Zephyr answered flatly and asked after giving it a thought, “The vendor who mentioned the
Irwins just now… Have you heard of it?”
“Of course. It’s famous in Southeast Aciatic.”
Nicholas used to travel around with his boss in the past and had heard about things like this.
“The Irwins are quite influential in Southeast Aciatic. It’s said that their ancestors started up as doctors,
so the Irwins kept the medicinal drugs manufacturing company.”
“But why are these meds sold on the street?”
“Think it’s because their prices are low and the meds are effective, so they’re popular. They don’t put
up airs like those big pharmaceutical companies, so their medicines are everywhere. There’s no
imitation either because they price the meds low enough. The regular people can all afford them.”
Zephyr narrowed his eyes. “So, they’re an ethical business.”
Who could have thought that the kind Irwins would conspire with Matthew in secret?
“Rowan Irwin’s the head in the Irwins now.” Nicholas was rarely this gossipy. “Ay, do you know why that
bottle of medicine is called Xywan Pharmaceuticals?”
“Why?”
“Wan stands for Rowan Irwin.” Nicholas chortled. “The outside world has all sorts of guesses about Xy.
They say that it’s someone Rowan Irwin loves but can’t have!”
Zephyr nodded, unfazed, but the suspicions in his heart grew.
He was uninterested in Rowan’s love affairs. He only wanted evidence that the man was helping
Matthew to harm him.
Cordelia’s sweet “darling” pulled him back from the heavy thoughts.

Zephyr and Nicholas quickly went over to sit down.
The street stalls were cramped with little space, and the greasy grilling aroma was everywhere. Zephyr
was tall and well-built, a jarring sight when he sat on the small stool.
“Honey, it isn’t comfortable, huh?” Cordelia clung to him softly and placed a peeled shrimp in front of
him. “Bear with it for just a while. We’ll go back to the hotel after this!”
“Mm.” Zephyr smiled and spoke softly next to her ear. “You’ll have to compensate me after we get
back…”
“Not tonight, I’m afraid.” Cordelia winked slyly.
“What?”
“Linda and I agreed to sleep in the same room tonight.”
“Cough, cough, cough…” The grilled fish that Nicholas had just swallowed got stuck in his throat. He
looked at Linda in disbelief. “For real!?”
Linda nodded with a smile.
“I have a lot of things to chat with Cordelia, so you both…”
“Okay?”
