After swallowing a mouthful of oatmeal, Sally explained, “Zion was my dad's subordinate before, but he
was transferred to the military district in Baxrich. After what happened to my dad, Zion was transferred
back here and even got promoted.”
In a light tone, she added, “Zion also went to the meeting in Baykeep.”
Cooper wiped away a dollop of oatmeal at the corner of Sally's mouth. “The fact that Zion's name is on
that document means that he's already on the Gaudette family's side. Are you suspecting that he has
something to do with your dad's incident?”
Eyes darkening, Sally nodded. “My dad's position became vacant after he got imprisoned, so someone
needs to take his place.”
“It seems like Zion was not transferred back to Jadeborough by coincidence,” remarked Cooper
seriously. “Moreover, he was promoted. With the help of the Gaudette family, it won't be difficult for him
to take your dad's position.”
“But they're undergoing handover now since it's the end of their term of office. A deputy commanding
officer from my dad's military district is currently in charge of his job, so the higher-ups don't have the
time to promote Zion.”
“But if Mr. Gaudette takes office, the first thing he'll do is to promote Zion,” Cooper added.
“That's right.”
Cooper tried to feed Sally another spoonful of oatmeal, but she shook her head as she was already full.
With that, he placed the bowl on the bedside table and passed Sally a glass of water.
Taking the glass, Sally said, “I'm not so weak to the point that I can't hold anything.”
Cooper could hear the hint of complaint in her tone. Knowing that he had gone overboard the night
before, he said in a gentle voice, “Rest at home today. I'll take them out.”
Right when he said that, Sally was reminded of what had happened last night. Her waist began
throbbing with soreness, and she was tempted to throw the glass at Cooper's face.
“Have you asked Robert about it?” Cooper immediately changed the topic.
“Yes. However, Mr. Gaudette is the man who brought Eurydice up to be a capable and composed lady
who allows no loopholes. Do you think he'd be someone easy to deal with? I'm sure Mr. Gaudette and
Zion kept their deal a secret. No one likely knows about it except for the two of them.”
Suddenly remembering something, Cooper lowered his eyes and said, “Your dad worked in the
government half his lifetime, but he probably never expected the adopted son he raised to join hands
with an outsider and destroy his life and family.”
As Cooper spoke, his voice trailed off.
Gerald had caused the death of Stefan's biological father because of a wrong decision. Moreover, he
knew that Stefan had feelings for Sally but kept going back on his own word, causing hatred to grow in
Stefan's heart.
As for Cooper, he listened to someone's instigation blindly and killed Wayne and his wife, the innocent
couple who raised him.
Sally and Cooper had known each other for a long time.
Cooper was smart, courageous, and ruthless. As long as Genevieve wasn't involved, he always
seemed calm and in control of everything.
Yet now, his usually cold eyes were filled with sorrow and remorse.
Seeing how guilty he was, Sally felt her hardened heart sting with pain. She touched his cheek with her
cold hand and uttered, “Haven't you been atoning for your sins all this time? That is enough.”
“Is it really enough?” Cooper asked.
“Yes.” Sally stroked the corners of Cooper's eyes and gazed at him intently. “You're taking care of
Lucian and Mandy so well. You are a qualified uncle.”
As if seeking comfort, Cooper held her hand against his cheek tightly.
With a faint smile, Sally continued, “You sound so convincing whenever you're consoling me. How
come you don't use those pieces of advice on yourself? Why do you keep on thinking about the past
and blaming yourself?”
Cooper sighed. “Not even saints can console themselves, let alone an ordinary man like me.”
“Did a saint tell you that personally?”
Sally's words rendered Cooper speechless.
The two of them met eyes, and after a quiet moment, soft smiles appeared on their faces.
Sally sat up and left a light peck on Cooper's lips before deepening the kiss. Placing his hand on the
back of her head, Cooper responded to the kiss gently.
