Chapter 1420


    "Mr. Ye? When did youe out? Why didn''t you say anything? By the way, how''s your injury? Are


    you okay?"


    Prisci couldn''t help but ask continuously when she saw that Nathaniel looked pale.


    On the other hand, Nathaniel''s gaze never left Mango.


    Urgh! That heartless woman didn''t care about how he was doing now. She hadn''t even said a word


    to him, even though she had been back for around three days. Furthermore, even though he had


    tried everything, Mango still turned a blind eye to him.


    What else could he do to get his wife''s attention?


    At this thought, Nathaniel was speechless.


    However, when he heard Prisci''s question, he replied perfunctorily, "I''m fine. I won''t die."


    Then, he went back to his bedroom.


    Meanwhile, Prisci knew that he was angry when she saw him like this. But she didn''t do anything


    to provoke Nathaniel. Therefore, was Nathaniel mad because she had married Tristan and be


    his brother-inw?


    The more Prisci thought about this, the more


    she felt that she had married Tristan too hastily.


    That wouldn''t do!


    She had to tell Tristan at night that this marriage was illegitimate.


    At this thought, Prisci asked Maya to bring in the gifts. Then, she walked in as well.


    Meanwhile, Nathaniel did not lie down but was sitting in his wheelchair. He was looking at the


    scenery outside, but no one knew what was on his mind.


    When Prisci came behind him, she suddenly felt a little emotional.


    She was meeting the person whom she had most wanted to marry. However, she didn''t feel upset


    anymore, but she did feel like Nathaniel was a rtive to her now.


    Was it because her feelings for Nathaniel weren''t deep? Or was it because she was a promiscuous


    woman?


    Prisci couldn''t figure this out, so she felt a little depressed.


    "Mr. Ye, may I ask you a question?"


    Now that Mango wasn''t around, Prisci thought it was an opportunity to ask Nathaniel some


    sensitive questions. Furthermore, this would be thest time she would ask Nathaniel this.


    Nathaniel nodded in reply after hearing her question.


    Then, Prisci asked somewhat embarrassingly, "Mr. Ye, do you think that I''m promiscuous or


    fickle? Or do you think that I''ve always used my wits to trick others?"


    "Huh? Why do you say that?"


    Nathaniel frowned when he saw how conflicted Prisci was.


    He felt sorry for Prisci as he had always thought of her as a younger sister.


    After hearing this question, Prisci bit her lip and thought for a while before saying, "I always knew


    that I liked you. I even told myself that I would only marry you in this life. If you didn''t marry Mango,


    who is such a good match for you, I think I wouldn''t have given up so quickly. However, I''ve only


    given up on you for a while, and I''ve also only met Tristan recently, but my feelings for you


    diminished. When Tristan and I got married earlier, I didn''t even hate it at all. I thought it was


    because it didn''t matter who I married since they were all not you. However, I didn''t feel repulsed


    when I looked at our marriage license, and I felt happy instead, so I felt like a hypocritical woman.


    s! I don''t deserve you indeed!"


    After saying these words, Prisci felt very


    miserable.


    Meanwhile, Nathaniel had rarely seen Prisci in such distress. In the past, he was afraid that


    Prisci had too much of a crush on him. Now that he heard that Prisci was married to Tristan, he


    felt happy and gratified.


    "Don''t be silly. You haven''t loved me at all. After all, you''ve just always admired and felt grateful


    towards me?"


    "What? How is that possible? I''m sure I had feelings for you!"


    Prisci retorted directly.


    She knew exactly how she felt.


    Then, Nathaniel looked at her and finally smiled before asking, "When did you fall in love with me


    then?"

    "When you rescued me from the uninhabited area at the age of eighteen. I fell in love with you


    deeply after that."


    "What if I tell you that the person who saved you that year wasn''t me but Tristan?"


    Prisci was stunned when she heard what Nathaniel had said.


    "What did you say?"


    "The person who saved you that year was indeed not me, but Tristan. When he handed you to me,


    you were unconscious. Tristan, on the other hand, was seriously injured too. Thus, he also fainted


    because he had no more strength left. Perhaps your memory of him hadpletely faded.


    However, do you remember that after you woke up, there was another patient in your ward? You got


    along well with him at that time. Well, to be exact, you had so much fun bullying him quite often."


    Nathaniel talked about Prici''s past.


    Meanwhile, Prisci had no memory of this, but she vaguely remembered that she had indeed


    bullied a boy.


    This was because she had been too bored while she was staying in the hospital. At that time, the


    hospital''s facilities were limited, and there were neithermunication signals nor mobile phones.


    She could not find Nathaniel, so she could only hang out with the boy from the same ward. But the


    boy seemed to be very dull and did not like to talk. Thus, she had teased him repeatedly and was


    happy when she managed to anger him.


    If Nathaniel hadn''t mentioned this now, Prisci would never have recalled that she still had these


    memories.


    "Was the boy from that time Tristan?"


    "Mhm, that''s right."


    Nathaniel remembered how miserable Tristan had looked when Prisci had bullied him back then.


    At this thought, he couldn''t help but chuckle.


    Perhaps Nathaniel had given up on having a romantic rtionship with Prisci when he saw how


    he had bullied Tristan back then.


    After all, Nathaniel always knew what he wanted his other half to be like. He didn''t want them to be


    a troublemaker or a bully who would argue with him every day.


    He could treat such a girl as his sister, but not as his lover.


    Meanwhile, Prisci seemed to have thought of this too and felt like crying.


    "Mr. Ye, did you stay away from me because I teased Tristan?"


    "Well, you were indeed quite lively back then."


    Nathaniel didn''t say these words out directly, but Prisci understood what he was trying to say.


    s! She never thought that she had scared Nathaniel away because of how she had bullied


    Tristan!


    Suddenly, she wanted to cry.


    If she had known earlier that things would turn out this way, she would have done everything she


    could to act docile and unassertive. Perhaps then, Nathaniel wouldn''t have anything to do with


    Mango right now.


    At this thought, Prisci was on the verge of tears.


    On the other hand, Nathaniel couldn''t stand it any longer and hurriedly said, "I''rn sure that this is


    fate. After all, you and Tristan are fated to be together. Didn''t he save you several times? Love and


    gratitude are different things. However, Prisci, do you not love him? If not, how could you have


    epted him in such a short time? Also, you married him willingly! I''ve known you for a long time,


    and I know that no one can threaten you easily. If you weren''t willing to do so, no matter how


    aggressive Tristan was, would you have married him? You should think about your true feelings


    now. If you do that, you can lead a happy life, and your lover will be delighted too."


    Prisci went silent after hearing this.


    After all, Nathaniel was right.


    Her feelings for Tristan were different.


    She cared for Tristan, so she had been scared to admit her feelings too.


    Hence, she had been hesitant to ept him because she liked him.


    Furthermore, when he got into trouble, she came up with a strategy to help him escape because


    she cared about him. At that time, she even disregarded how Nathaniel and Mango had been doing.


    Without realizing it, Tristan had be so important in her heart, and he mattered more than


    Nathaniel now.


    It turned out that the person she had always liked was Tristan! s! She had always mistaken him


    for someone else and stubbornly waited for so many years.


    Prisci''s mood brightened when she thought about this.


    "Mr. Ye, thank you."


    Prisci thanked Nathaniel sincerely.


    After hearing this, Nathaniel waved his hand and then looked at the door. When he saw that Mango


    hadn''t followed Prisci upstairs, he couldn''t help feel a little downcast.


    Didn''t Mango get jealous easily?


    Wasn''t she afraid that Prisci would still be in love with him?


    Yet, Mango was not worried at all, even though knowing that Prisci had entered his room. Urgh!


    How could she bear with it just like that?


    At this thought, Nathaniel felt himself going crazy.


    Prisci looked at Nathaniel''s expression and gaze. Suddenly, she recalled that Mango and


    Nathaniel hadn''t talked to each other since she hade in, so she couldn''t help but be stunned.


    "Mr. Ye, did you quarrel with Mango?"


    Although Prisci felt that this would likely not happen, she still thought that they had quarreled


    because of the strange atmosphere around them.


    Then, Nathaniel said gloomily, "Nah, it''s not a quarrel. She''s ignoring me right no! Look at me. I''m a


    patient. However, three days after my major operation, she gave me the cold shoulder! Don''t you


    think that l"m pitiful?


    In the past, Nathaniel would not have said such words. However, when Prisci saw how depressed


    Nathaniel looked and how upset he sounded, she was shocked.


    "Huh? What happened? Why is Mango ignoring you?"


    Well, why was Mango ignoring him?


    Nathaniel didn''t know how to answer that question.


    Even now, he still did not know what he had done wrong.


    Since he couldn''t save both their lives, was he in the wrong as he had chosen to protect Mango?


    After all, that was his way of loving her, yet Mango was still furious.


    However, if he told Mango that he would not do it next time, Nathaniel felt that he would be lying to


    her. That was why he did not know how to reconcile this argument between them. But, Nathaniel


    also could not stand Mango ignoring him at this moment.


    At this thought, Nathaniel sighed and asked, "I don''t understand how you women think."


    "Mr. Ye, can you not think of us all the same way? What do you mean by ''us women''? What''s going


    on? How can I help you if you don''t tell me?"


    "Do you think that you can help me?"


    Nathaniel''s eyes suddenly lit up when he heard what Prisci had said.


    She was right!


    Prisci and Mango were good friends. Furthermore, Prisci was also a woman, so she probably


    understood what Mango was thinking. Hence, she could also give him some ideas too.


    At this thought, Nathaniel quickly told Prisci what had happened.


    After hearing what he had said, Prisci knew what was wrong with them.


    "Mr. Ye, I don''t think it''s a problem for you to sacrifice yourself so that the other party would change


    their decisions. After all, you did it for Mango, so it''s quite touching too. However, your fault lies in


    not discussing it with her. How should I exin this? Your intentions were for Mango''s good


    because you love her, even to the point that you would sacrifice your life for her. Therefore, other


    people would think that you had be fearless because you love her so much. But to Mango, it


    shows that you don''t respect her, and neither do you respect your rtionship. She was forced to


    ept your good intentions, and she even had to ept the fact that you had decided to sacrifice


    your own life because of your love for her. Don''t you know how heavy that burden would be? Now


    that she is the reason behind your sacrifice, she would have to spend the rest of her life in regret


    and frustration! Hence, do you think that this is something you should do out of love?"
