One of them was there to accompany Cordelia for her delivery, while the other one was there to study Noah's condition.
"Dad, how is it?" Cordelia asked in worry.
Rowan shook his head lightly with a grim expression. Zephyr's heart sank.
"I can do my best to treat him." Rowan looked at them. "But don't have too much hope. It's not something treatable in a short time, and just medicine isn't enough. Rehab training is required too."
"Mm." Zephyr nodded. "Thanks, dad."
Xyla sighed and said, "Actually, your mom came to me before when Noah had just fallen from the horse. My dad was the one who treated him then, and my grandpa joined. They could only ensure that his condition wouldn't worsen. It might not be easy for him to recover to being fully abled."
"It's great that it didn't worsen." Rowan patted her shoulder. "A brain injury remains a challenge in the medical field to this day."
Zephyr hung his head in silence. He was sad, but when thinking about it from another perspective, his uncle's greatest good luck was that he was born in the Bakers. The wealth and luxury he enjoyed in this life were not what regular people even dared fantasize about.
Even if he was a fool, he got to live in affluence and security.
"Spend a few more days here in Melorian since you're already here." Zephyr smiled. "There's a small villa next door. Carter stayed there when he was here. If you want to stay with Cordelia, I'll get someone to prepare the guest room."
"No need for the trouble." Xyla smiled lovingly. "We can just stay at a hotel."
"Huh?" Rowan's eyes bulged instantly. "Aren't we here for Cordelia's delivery? Why are we staying at a hotel? We're already here in our daughter's home. Of course we're staying with her!"
"Right!" Xyla shot him a look and said in a harsh whisper, "Can't you tell that your son-in-law is just being courteous? We're staying outside. Don't be an annoying third wheel here!"
"Oh…" Rowan pursed his lips dejectedly as his wife pulled his ear.
"Mom, just stay here and keep me company!"
"No, it's really fine." Xyle stroked Cordelia's hair. "Don't worry. We'll support you outside the ward the day you give birth!"
"Yes." Rowan grinned. "And to say hello to my precious grandson…"
"Yours?" Xyla knocked his head. "Janine will be the first one even then. That's her grandson!"
"Cordelia, look at your mom!" Rowan complained. "I was ranked behind Janine when we were younger, and I still lose to that witch now!"
