“But you settled it in a few words.” Cordelia chuckled wryly. “I still have to rely on you ultimately…”

Zephyr held her hand and hugged her gently again. As her face was pressed against his chest, she was engulfed in a sense of security upon hearing the familiar heartbeat.

The man rubbed her hair, his voice low and gentle. “You’re already doing great. You live well even without relying on me.

“As for this case…” He said, “Carter’s my younger brother too. I can’t just sit and watch him being wronged. Naturally, I have to do what I can to help him.”

Zephyr smiled in contentment. Hugging her like this was like he had gotten the whole world.
