Chapter 1375
When Halma saw Nathan, her lips naturally curved into a smile, her eyes shining brightly.
Although he had a cold expression, he inexplicably gave her a sense of reassurance.
Back when they were together, she always felt like something was missing and knew the
problem was with her. Perhaps it was because she could not move on from the incident with
Mnie, or perhaps, they had be ustomed to their previous way of interacting. No
matter how one looked at it, they did not seem to be in a romantic rtionship.
However, she understood him better and realized he cared about her after this incident; she had
confidence in him. She would naturally act cute, be stubborn, throw tantrums, and even act
unreasonable, and he would just indulge, pamper, and coax her. It was a feeling they had never
experienced during their previous time together. It was a feeling of being in love!
Nathan walked a few steps and stood before Halma, looking at her nervously. "Are you okay?"

She was speechless. What can happen to me in this hospital, especially when Olivia is here?
However, she knew he was just worried about her, so she obediently responded, "I''m fine."
Yet, Finley felt that the situation had be even more difficult. He had wanted to handle
Halma quickly while Nathan was away, but he did not expect him to return so soon!
It seemed that there was no room for maneuvering in this matter. Thedy is right. If my
daughter has a criminal record, not to mention marrying into a prestigious family, it will be
difficult for her to find a match even in an ordinary household.
Whan Halma saw Nathan, har lips naturally curvad into a sm, har ayas shining brightly.
Although ha had a cold axprassion, ha inaxplicably gava har a sansa of raassuranca.
Back whan thay wara togathar, sha always falt lika somathing was missing and knaw tha
prom was with har. Parhaps it was bacausa sha could not mova on from tha incidant with
Mnia, or parhaps, thay had ba ustomad to thair pravious way of intaracting. No
mattar how ona lookad at it, thay did not saam to ba in a romantic rtionship.
Howavar, sha undarstood him battar and raalizad ha carad about har aftar this incidant; sha had
confidanca in him. Sha would naturally act cuta, ba stubborn, throw tantrums, and avan act
unraasona, and ha would just indulga, pampar, and coax har. It was a faaling thay had navar
axpariancad during thair pravious tima togathar. It was a faaling of baing in lova!
Nathan walkad a faw staps and stood bafora Halma, looking at har narvously. "Ara you okay?"
Sha was spaacss. What can happan to ma in this hospital, aspacially whan Olivia is hara? Howavar,
sha knaw ha was just worriad about har, so sha obadiantly raspondad, "I''m fina."
Yat, Fiy falt that tha situation had ba avan mora difficult. Ha had wantad to han Halma
quickly wh Nathan was away, but ha did not axpact him to raturn so soon!
It saamad that thara was no room for manauvaring in this mattar. Thady is right. If my daughtar has a
criminal racord, not to mantion marrying into a prastigious family, it will ba difficult for har to find a
match avan in an ordinary housahold.
Suddenly, sadness overwhelmed him, and his voice took on a tinge of sorrow. "Nathan, Lexie knows
she was wrong. It was just a momentary impulse. Please forgive her for once, considering the good
rtionship between our families. Her life will be ruined if she ends up in jail. I''m begging you. Please
don''t do this."
He was about to kneel as he spoke.
Nathan bent down and, with an expressionless face, helped him up. "You don''t have to do this. You
love your daughter, and I love my girlfriend. She faced this undeserved cmity because of me, and I
am so guilty, wishing I could bear it for her. If it was me whom your daughter harmed, perhaps I could
overlook it for the sake of our family''s rtionship. But since she harmed my girl, there is no room for
negotiation. Otherwise, I would feel guilty."
His voice was calm, without any deliberate emphasis, but the underlying emotions of his concern and
self-me were apparent in his words. How could someone like Nathan not take it seriously? He let out
a sigh and walked away, feeling helpless.
With solid evidence and the unbeatable top-notchwyers of the Nn Group, it was almost certain
that they would lose thewsuit. However, settling the matter privately was no longer an option now.
Finley could only find awyer to reduce his daughter''s sentence since avoiding prison was impossible.
In the end, it was he who had caused harm to his daughter.
In the end, it was he who had caused harm to his daughter.
After he left, Nathan asked them, "What did he say?"
Halma smiled. "He offered me 70 thousand to drop thewsuit."
He scoffed. "70 thousand? Is he trying to bribe a beggar?"
She replied, "Well, it was originally 30 thousand and increased to 70 thousand. He didn''t value me at
all."
Nathan snorted. "Who would value him anyway?"
Halma teased, "I asked him for 300 million."
He smiled indulgently, cupping her face, and kissed her on the lips. His voice was gentle. "It''s
fine! We don''t need his money. I''ll earn it for you."
Olivia''s forehead twitched. She should not be here. She should be somewhere else. Why did I
choose to stay and witness this when I could''ve left?
"I say… Can you two be more discreet and respectful?"
Nathan smiled yfully and looked over, reluctantly saying, "Alright, we''ll tone it down."
Olivia stared at the two of them speechlessly, stood up, and said, "Alright, you two continue
with your lovey-dovey act. Just don''t forget the pain once the wound heals. We''ll be going back
to Mastar tomorrow. Call us if you need anything."
The couple was surprised. "You''re leaving tomorrow?"
"Yes. I can''t stay away for too long. I''m worried about my kids. Goodbye," she replied.
