Zephyr was smirking on the other side of the phone.
Cordelia and Carter's peals of laughter came from the living room.
He looked inside and saw the few young maids surrounding him. They fed him snacks and tea and took extra care of him.
Their eyes were lit up.
Zephyr chuckled. Indeed, Carter had changed. He recalled when he was the boy who was bullied terribly in school. He would cry in the middle of the night, complaining to his sister. In the end, his brother-in-law would have to fend for him.
And now, Carter was the official heir of Irwin Pharmaceuticals.
Rowan taught and guided him, paving Carter's way for him. Meanwhile, Carter was hardworking. He had shown his outstanding talent in medicine since he was young.
Not only did he graduate medical school two years in advance, but he also mastered medicine-making and acupuncture quickly.
He had a halo on his head just by sitting there. He was majestic in everything he did.
"Hubby!" Cordelia smiled and waved to get him to come over. "Carter is visiting me. He's going to stay for a couple of days. He's also here for a lecture at a medical school!"
"That's great," Zephyr said gently. "This is your home, Carter. Stay as long as you want! I'll get my driver and bodyguards to send you if you're going to the hospital."
"No need for all that!" Carter smiled. "I can take public transportation. Also, I'd like to check out this city! It's a long journey, and I must travel properly! Oh, I heard Neil found love here?"
"What? You also want to go to the square to run into a nomadic lady?"
Carter could not be teased. He blushed immediately.
"Okay, stop teasing him!" Cordelia chuckled. "He brought many medicines and supplements from mom and dad."
There was a small box on the table. There were medicines Irwin Pharmaceuticals made.
Cordelia looked through them. A couple of them had Zephyr's name on them. Rowan was worried that the aftereffect of the plane accident would come back, so he thought he would just get Carter to bring more.
Zephyr was touched. His father-in-law loved him, after all.
"Oh sis!" Carter recalled something. "Mom and dad want me to pass you a message."
"What is it?"
"Um… Dad said that although I'm the heir, you'll own half of Irwin Pharmaceuticals. And your share is more than mine!"
