Nathan slowly walked toward her and sat down on the other side of the bed. They had their backs
toward each other, and Nathan rested his elbows on his thighs. He supported his head on his hands,
closed his eyes, and let out a long breath.
The tension in the room was high, and he couldn’t help but feel exhausted. Suzanne only asked him
one question and didn’t say any
more.
A whileter, Nathan asked, “Why did Sally move in?”
Suzanne smiled wryly. “She’s moved in for more than half a month
now.”
“And you didn’t stop her?”
“I have no right to do that.”
Nathan fell silent. Momentster, he asked again, “Are
ing
on taking a qualification exam?”
“No.”
“AAre youfortable staying here?”
“It’s alright.”
“David Sally make things hard for you?”
After assking all he had to ask, the room fell into a deathly silence once more. The tension in the room
was palpable.
Nathan hadd tried to strike up a conversation with her by asking her so many questions, but she only
gave him curt replies, not intending to
carry on the conversation. Things started to get awkward between
them.
“I’m going to shower.” And with that, Suzanne got off the bed and walked into the walk-in closet to get
her pajamas.
Nathan raised his head and looked at the time. It was almost midnight. Ever since he arrived home in
the evening, he hadn’t managed to catch a moment of rest. He’d been waiting for her.
He was finally able to meet her now. But she was so estranged and didn’t even want to speak to him.
When Suzanne came out from the shower half an hourter, Nathan was still seated in the same
position with his elbows on his thighs. His back sagged, and his shoulders seemed to carry the weight
of the
world on them.
She couldn’t see his face, but she felt that he carried a heavy and deste air with him. There was a
trace of mncholy to b00.
Was he bothered by work? Suzanne felt bad for him. She we him and said softly, “Nathan, you just had
the bullet removed yesterday. You need to lie down and rest.”
Nathan slowly straightened up and looked at her with a subtle hin emotion in his deep eyes.
Suzanne didn’t understand the emotions in his eyes. All she could tell was that his eyes were
captivating and mesmerizing.
“How did you know?” he rasped with some sort of anticipation.
Suzanne’s gaze flickered. “I overheard Sally’s call to Lucas.”
Nathan smiled sardonically. Even Sally was concerned and would call others to find out about his
condition.
Why couldn’t Suzanne do the same? Did she only ask about him
because she overheard Sally’s conversation?
Nathan kept quiet with a cold expression.
Suzanne nced around the room before asking, “Do you have any medicines you need to take? Have
you taken them yet?”
“I took them already,” he answered unenthusiastically.
“Do you have any ointments to apply on the wound then? Have you changed the dressing yet?”

Nathan kept mum and stared at her, observing her innocent yet
alluring eyes.
“Why don’t you help me with it?” He pointed at the medications on the shelf. The fact was, he was only
supposed to change them the next
morning.
Suzanne hurriedly brought the medications over and ced them on the bed. She opened up the
packaging and said, “You need to tell me how to use them.”
Nathan took off his shirt with one hand.
When Suzanne picked up an iodine swab and looked up, sh tanned torso bared before her eyes. His
abs and his chest we wlessly well-defined, making him appear wild and seductive.
Her heart raced, and her face flushed. Even her eyes seemed to h

She didn’t know where to look, and her breathing became erratic. She stood there dumbfounded with
the cotton swab in her hands, staring
at his body.
As Nathan looked at Suzanne’s flushed face and her fascinated gaze, a faint smile gradually crept up
his face.
The temperature in the room soared
