Marcus’ heart skipped a beat.
“Please don’t ever forget everything I said,” Cordelia said as she looked at him. “I just want you to be
safe.
“I don’t care about the rest.
“I just want you to be safe, and that’s what matters the most to me!”
Cordelia was a gentle woman. She rarely acted in such a demanding manner, but Marcus loved her
nonetheless.
He looked at her quietly as the corner of his lips turned up slightly. This was one of the very rare
moments he smiled from the bottom of his heart.
At that moment, he even wanted to tell her his true identity.
After all, she had already said that he would always be her husband no matter what happened.
If she learned that he was not Marcus but Zephyr, she would still treat him the same, right?
He took a deep breath and forced down the urge.
He was at war with Matthew. Just like a boxing match with an unknown outcome, he did not know how
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtlong his war with Matthew would take.
Before everything came to light, he would not pull her into his war with Matthew.
He held her tiny hand in his palm and chuckled. “Honey, trust me. I’ll win a match beautifully in the
future.”
Cordelia was stunned.
“I promise you,” Marcus said sternly. “I’ll not let you down.”
“Okay.” She smiled back at him. Apparently, she did not get what he was trying to say.
After the drip was over, Cordelia turned around and went out to call the nurse.
At the same time, Marcus’ phone lit up, and his face sank. When Cordelia returned, he asked gently,
“Honey, can you go get me something to eat?”
“Are you hungry?” Cordelia looked at her watch. “Dr. Stafford said you’d better have some liquid diet
first. How about this? I’ll go home now and make you some porridge. You wait for me here. I’ll be back
soon.”
“Okay.” Marcus nodded.
Cordelia hastily rushed toward their house.
After she left, Josiah and Fredric appeared outside of the ward.
Marcus let out a snort, and they entered the ward gleefully.
“Z, do you know how worried we were?”
Marcus looked at them and smiled. “I’m not that seriously injured. There’s nothing to be worried about.
Besides, that guy is so weak. He’s even weaker than my former trainer.”
“But you’re still injured,” Fredric said, his voice filled with worry. “Don’t forget that you haven’t fully
recovered from the plane crash, and now—”
Seth came into the ward. After running a basic check on Marcus and ascertaining that he was okay, he
reminded Marcus of the things he needed to watch out for.
Before he left, he nodded at Josiah and Fredric. After Seth left, Josiah smacked his lips scornfully.
“So, he’s that quack doctor?”
“Mind your words!” Fredric glared at him. “Dr. Stafford had provided us with a lot of help while Z was
recuperating in that village!”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“That doesn’t mean he’s free of suspicion!” Josiah felt that everyone was suspicious right now. “What if
he’s on Matthew’s side as well?”
Marcus’s eyes turned cold as he asked, “Did you guys find something?”
“Z, the person we’re investigating is Oliver. It has nothing to do with Dr. Stafford. Don’t listen to what
Josiah said.”
Fredric cleared his throat and pitched his voice down. “According to our investigation, we found
something about Oliver. The Hamerton Group supplies part of the funds in his company. However, they
keep it a secret. Normal people wouldn’t be able to know about it, not even your grandfather.”
Marcus clenched his fist.
“According to my speculation, he might want to test you, so he showed up at the match. After you were
sent to the back of the ring, he tried to follow after you. Luckily, Cordelia stopped him.
“Just because you look a lot like Marcus, so you can replace him.” Fredric continued. “I think Oliver
must have realized something. But as long as Matthew doesn’t show up in front of you and justify your
identity, he won’t dare to make any remarks.”
“Hah, Matthew doesn’t have the time to come to Jangasas,” Josiah said with a grin. “He’s busy bad-
mouthing you in front of your grandfather!”
