He knew that the son of Linda’s stepfather had offended the gang leader, so he took that opportunity to stab the guy into permanent disability.

The gang leader would not target Linda because he did something for him and was put behind bars. It was worth exchanging eight years of his life for her safety.

“Hah, I have to stay alive…” Nicholas smiled blearily. “Alive… to protect her.

“Protect her for life.”

Seth had made some congee in the kitchen.

As Zephyr returned with purchased beer from downstairs and saw Seth standing in a daze, he wanted to console him but did not know what to say. He walked in and handed him a can of beer.

They exchanged a smile and went to the living room. After a moment of silence, Seth chuckled wryly and asked, “Did you all… know about him a long time ago?”

Zephyr answered after an initial daze, “It’s all in the past. No need to get worked up over it.”

“I want to keep the past in the past too.” Seth sighed. “But it’s not the past to Linda…”

Zephyr furrowed his brows. He knew Seth. The latter was not a petty man. He would not mind Linda’s past and only wanted the future with her.

In spite of it, how could it feel good when one moved into another’s heart that was not emptied?

“That guy’s in the gangs,” Zephyr said and continued in a low tone after a pause. “He can’t be seen in the open.”

Seth looked at him.
