Chapter 245


    Chapter 245 How Much Do You Want?


    Nathaniel didn’t leave J’s ward even after it was dark.


    Meanwhile, J’s driver and bodyguard ran to the hospital, gasping for breath.


    J’s driver and bodyguard were unfriendly to Nathaniel Although they thanked


    Nathaniel, they saw Nathaniel as a dangerous person and didn’t let down their guard.


    They tried to sound nice and asked Nathaniel to leave, suggesting that they would take


    care of J.


    Nathaniel didn’t want to waste his time with them. Thus, Nathaniel gave Alfred a


    knowing look. Alfred immediately got that. The next moment, Alfred and the other men


    forced J’s bodyguard and driver to leave.


    Nathaniel couldn’t believe that after the ident there were only two left to protect


    J. Nathanielined in his mind, how careless J’s bodyguards are!


    It was possible that J’s men were working with the mercenaries as aplices.


    Nathaniel’s face darkened. After J’s bodyguards and driver were driven away.


    Nathaniel returned to J’s ward.


    J had already woken up and was staring at her hands in a daze.


    Nathaniel walked up to J unconsciously Nathaniel had many questions. He wanted


    to ask J why she would be in danger. However, at this moment, Nathaniel was lost.


    for words.


    J felt as if she were still dreaming as Nathaniel came toward her.


    At first, none of them spoke. It was Nathaniel who broke the silence. “How do


    now?”


    you feel


    J nodded and answered hoarsely, “I’m fine…


    After a pause, J suddenly asked, “Wait, why are you here?”


    J remembered that she called her emergency contact. Beacher or one of Beacher’s


    men was supposed to be here, not Nathaniel.


    “You called me.” Nathaniel stared at J and caught J’s look of shock. “You aren’t

    using the domestic cell phone number, are you?”


    Nathaniel reminded J of that.


    J had two cell phones listed in her name. Since J divorced Nathaniel, she hadn’t used the cell


    phone that was registered abroad. Therefore, J forgot that she had listed Nathaniel as the


    emergency contact.


    Slightly embarrassed, J had mixed feelings.


    After all, Nathaniel and J were no longer a couple. And J promised that she would never


    contact Nathaniel again. However, J forgot to change the emergency contact person.


    Moreover, J was surprised that Nathaniel woulde to her rescue because of the


    call.


    J still remembered Nathaniel’s face before she cked out.


    As J recalled, Nathaniel was like an angry beast, whose eyes turned red with rage.


    Though J wasn’t quite certain, she had no intention of confirming it with Nathaniel.


    J didn’t want to have anything to do with Nathaniel anymore, but ironically, things didn’t go the way


    she wanted.


    Thinking of this, J couldn’t help but smile bitterly, “Thank you for saving me.”


    Nathaniel said nothing. He nced at J several times without being noticed.


    Nathaniel was dying to ask J about her pregnancy, but he didn’t know how to ask her.


    Nathaniel’s rtionship with J had been strained because of what happened between them. If


    Nathaniel brought it up now, it might make things worse.


    Before Alfred could find out what had happened to J, Nathaniel decided not to ask anything about


    it.


    Nathaniel was lost in thought. And J didn’t know what Nathaniel was thinking. After a moment of


    silence, J said.


    “Actually, I had the wrong number. I didn’t mean to disturb you. I owe you a lot this time. How much do


    you want? I can write you a check when I’m discharged.”


    J meant every word she said.


    All J wanted was to return the favor.


    However, Nathaniel got it all wrong.


    Clenching his fists, Nathaniel felt humiliated.


    Before they got divorced, Nathaniel believed that J had married him because of his


    money.


    It was the other way around.


    Nathaniel didn’t expect J to blow him off with the money.


    Looking into J’s serious face, however, Nathaniel thought that he might have


    misunderstood J.


    J seemed that she wanted to keep a distance from Nathaniel rather than humiliate


    him.


    The thought upset Nathaniel.


    Nathaniel tried not to pull a long face. “We’ll talk about thatter,” Nathaniel said coldly.


    J silently looked away. She didn’t want to talk to Nathaniel.


    When Nathaniel looked at Jt in her hospital gown, he relented. Nathaniel didn’t want to have a fight


    with J. “Are you hungry? If you wanna eat something, I can get you


    some food,” Nathaniel asked.


    J frowned imperceptibly and blushed. “No, I’m fine, but… Can you get me an orderly, please?” she


    stammered.


    Nathaniel thought, what an ungrateful woman!


    Without noticing J’s expression, Nathaniel felt angry.


    Nathaniel secretlyined, I need to calm down. I can’t argue with a patient…


    Nathaniel fought his urge to throw a fit and said in a mocking tone, “What? You don’t


    trust me? I can do whatever an orderly can do.”


    J was also irritated by Nathaniel’s aggressive tone. She raised her eyebrows and


    retorted angrily, “I wanna pee. Will you help me?”


    Nathaniel was dumbfounded. Then he turned his face away at once.


    A hot flush red in Nathaniel’s cheeks and trickled down his neck. Before J could


    notice that, Nathaniel hurried out of the ward and said awkwardly, “Wait a second.”


    Watching Nathaniel leave, J closed her eyes in frustration.


    Nathaniel returned in less than ten minutes.


    J looked at Nathaniel suspiciously.


    Nathaniel coughed slightly and said, “Only those who make an appointment can get an


    orderly. Worse, only two male nurses are avable now, so…”


    ncing at J, Nathaniel didn’t finish his sentence.


    J flustered and replied vigntly, “Well, forget it. I can do it my…”


    Before J could finish her words, Nathaniel walked toward her and was ready to help


    her up.


    J panicked and tried to dodge.


    Seeing this, Nathaniel’s hand stopped in midair.


    J’s movement worsened the wound in her abdomen. J broke out into a cold


    sweat because of the pain.


    J’s refusal broke Nathaniel’s heart.


    Nathaniel’s thoughts were mixed up. He pulled his hand back and stared at J with his dark cold


    eyes.


    “Don’t move. I won’t touch you.”


    After saying that, Nathaniel walked to the bathroom, returned with a washbasin, and


    ced it on the bed beside J.


    Get Borfus


    J looked at Nathaniel and at the washbasin with a look of confusion.


    “Take your time. I’ll be out here.” Nathaniel sounded indifferent.


    J suddenly realized what Nathaniel meant as she looked at the wash basin.


    J thought, does he want me to…


    J blushed.


    J was embarrassed.
