“There’s something I need to exin to you,” Nathan said. His breath grew heavy as he spoke softly


    against her shoulder.


    “What is it?” M asked.


    “Fenna and I aren’t dating.”


    M was stunned. She was at a loss for words. She had mixed feelings about it, and her houghts raced


    in all directions.


    She was unsure whether to feel relieved, happy, angry, or annoyed. But she could feel Fenna’s hostility,


    and her tactics were a bit dirty.


    As M’s emotions settled down, her hands around his waist tightened. “Nate, Fenna told me you two


    were together.”


    That was why Nathan felt it necessary to exin. Regardless of whether she loved him or not, he


    wouldn’t let himself be in a helpless position.


    As long as M remained unmarried and he was still single, he still had a chance.


    “Yeah, Fenna mentioned it to me,” Nathan replied.


    Fear lodged itself in M’s heart. If Nathan had never exined, she would’ve always misunderstood.


    If the misunderstanding was cleared up, Fenna would simply be seen as helping a friend vent. Fenna


    had exined first so that Nathan wouldn’t me her. So, women who could use such maniptive


    tactics with such righteousness still existed.


    M felt she was no match for Fenna.


    “Nate, did you chase after me just to exin this?” M asked softly, her breath brushing against his


    ear.


    “Yeah,” Nathan replied.


    M put on a faint smile and said, “Fenna probably didn’t expect that.”


    “What didn’t she expect?” Nathan asked.


    “Didn’t expect that you love…” M paused for a moment and continued slowly, “She didn’t expect you


    to exin this to me.”


    Nathan braced his body and stood up straight, distancing himself from her. He gazed at M’s slightly


    flushed cheeks, eyes filled with emotion, and said, “I know you don’t care.”


    “I do. I care a lot.” M wanted to exin, but she hesitated.


    No, it wasn’t the time to express her feelings to Nathan. She wanted to resign from the Suntend


    Research Institute and terminate the contract between them.


    This is from N?velDrama.Org.


    After she became a Norvanian citizen again, she would have the confidence to confess.


    If Suntend didn’t want to let her go and she couldn’te back to work in Norvania, it


    would be like giving him false hopes. It would only disappoint him again.


    The blow would be too painful. She couldn’t bear to hurt Nathan like that.


    Seeing M lost in thought, Nathan slowly turned and walked toward the bed, dragging his tired and


    weak féet.


    M snapped out of her reverie and hurried over to support his arm.


    Nathan nced at her hand. Then, he looked at her face.


    M put on a sweet smile as she said, “Let me help you.”


    Nathan remained silent and allowed her to help him onto the bed.


    M helped Nathan to lie on the bed. She covered him with the nket and then pulled a chair to sit


    beside the bed.


    She leaned over, her elbows resting on the bed and her hands supporting her chin. She smiled gently


    while fixing her gaze on him.


    Nathan frowned slightly in confusion. He asked, “Aren’t you leaving?”


    M blinked innocently as she thought of ways to deal with Fenna. She ignored his question and gently


    asked, “Nate, who’s taking care of you?”


    Nathan closed his eyes as he was ready to rest. He replied, “Keith cooks, and the maid is in charge of


    cleaning the room and making tea. ”


    “Wounds dressing, bathing, going to the bathroom, changing clothes, helping you with walking. Who


    helps you with that?” M asked.


    “I’m a bit weak, but I’m not disabled.”


    M gathered her courage and shyly said in a low voice, “Anyway, I’m not busytely. I’ll stay and take


    care of you.


    Nathan opened his eyes again. There was now a barely noticeable blush on his face.
