”You’re overthinking!” With a sigh, Lily felt it useless to say anything to such a person. She walked past
Nathaniel and raised her hand to pat his shoulder, "I think you and Melanie would live a good life
together. You two are very compatible. Seriously!" ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
Sc*mbags and b*tches. What a good match! They should just get a room and stop harming others!
"You don’t believe me?" Turning the wheelchair around, Nathaniel looked at her back, thinking she did
not trust him.
He did not comprehend Lilly's subtext and felt she was still resentful and upset about his betrayal.
There was no response, and Lily walked away.
After sitting down for a while, Nathaniel thought about what Lily had said and felt he still had a chance.
Lily was still brooding about his past betrayal, but he believed that she still had feelings for him. He
could get back with her in the future as long as he worked hard enough. With her ability and powerful
family to support her, things would be at their best by then. Maybe one day, he would finally be able to
reconnect with his mother.
When Melanie woke up from the anesthesia and opened her eyes, she saw a familiar face sitting on
the edge of her bed, peeling apples.
He often peeled apples for her carefully, cutting them into small pieces and feeding them into her
mouth. Melanie's eyes became warm.
"Nate..." Opening her mouth, she called out his name, "My baby..."
She knew very well that the child was gone!
In fact, from the moment she went to find Lily, she had already decided to give up the baby. Since she
did not want to keep it, she went to pick a fight with Lily, and if Lily fought back, she would get a
miscarriage and blame it on her.
Wait, where was Lily?
Looking left and right, she reacted, "How’d you know? Where’s Lily? Where did Lily go? She caused
our child..."
"Mel!"
Interrupting her words, Nathaniel cut off the apple peel, bent down, and threw it into the trash, "Quit
acting!"
Melanie stared at him with wide eyes, "Nate, what do you mean?
"You’ve been putting up an act for a long time. I'm tired, and you should be tired too. Just quit it,"
Nathaniel did not delay his movements at all. He slowly cut the apples into small pieces and put them
in a small bowl.
"Lily called me to come and pay your medical bills, and she was the one who sent you to the hospital. It
would be more than just a miscarriage if she wanted to harm you. You wouldn't even be sent to the
hospital so soon. Mel, you can't be more clear about what's going on here."
Nathaniel put down the knife. There was an apple core left in his hand. He looked at her and said, "I
used to spoil you, so every time I cut an apple, the core left over is mine. I hate eating cores the most.
I'm tired, and I can’t handle you. Like I said, we both should go our separate ways."
