It was just like Phil's every blow to Zennie.

Seth took a deep breath. He did not expect that, as a doctor, he would one day do something a devil would.

His hands shook uncontrollably-not because he had turned into a monster, but for the grievances Zennie had gone through.

"Dr. Stafford, we can stitch him up now."

"Alright." Seth looked blankly at Phil, who was on the verge of death.

He would not die. He would be fine with a few days of rest.

However, the damage he had caused Zennie could barely be erased her whole life.

Seth gripped his fists. He should really kill someone like this with his own hands!

Cordelia and Zephyr had been waiting outside the operation ward and had naturally heard the harrowing screams earlier.

Zephyr had a straight face as he sat like a statue. Cordelia leaned against his shoulder gently and put a hand over the back of his hand.

Her hand was a little cold. Since she got pregnant, she kept feeling like her energy was lacking. She blamed herself for it. Why could she not have the warmth of her palm spread through the body like each time he held her hand?

"Darling..." she called out softly but could not get a word of comfort out.

Zephyr turned to her. No matter how bad his mood was, he would always wear the softest smile in front of her.

The door to the operation ward opened, and Seth came out. He was soaked in sweat like he had just gotten out of the water. He pulled a tired smile when he saw Zephyr.

"He won't die, but I'm afraid you won't be able to ask anything within these two days."

"Mm, I know." Zephyr nodded and patted his shoulder. "Thanks."

Seth shook his head with a smile.

It was only now that he realized belatedly that he should thank Phil. If the latter had not done all these heinous things, he would not have been aware of his feelings for Zennie.

He clearly remembered how Zephyr had beaten the village thugs to the point of internal bleeding when they had gone to their house to tease Cordelia not too long after the two of them got married when he used to live in the small village in Jangasas as Marcus.

This was what he felt now. He wanted people who bullied Zennie to die. This was probably not some sibling love there...

Seth paused and looked up at them with a dry chuckle. "People say doctors have the heart of parents. What I did today... doesn't deserve this white coat anymore."

"You're wrong." Cordelia looked him in the eyes and said seriously, "Seth, a doctor's benevolence depends on who it's for. To kind souls, we have mercy, but to evil people, we can give them a taste of their own medicine!

"Kindness is only kindness when there's an edge." Cordelia smiled. "You don't have to blame yourself at all."

"Mm, I wouldn't over a sc*m like this," Seth said softly. "I blame myself for not being by Zennie's side with something so big happening... If I didn't go to the seminar and kept her company every day, Phil wouldn't be able to get to her!"

"She's Phil's prey. She could never run away from it," Zephyr said. "The problem now is why he wants to take revenge on the Hamertons like this!"

Robert ran over from some distance and passed the tapping device in Zennie's bag to Zephyr.

"Mr. Z, this is the evidence that Phil instigated Ms. Zennie to carry the drugs! Fortunately, Ms. Zennie hasn't lost her mind. The police will ask her to be a witness once they press charges on Phil." "Asking her to be a witness in court?" Cordelia was worried. "Can she do it with her current state? Isn't it rubbing salt into her healing wound by asking her to recall the hurt again!?"
