Chapter 247
Chapter 247 Good at Using People
Nathaniel gritted his teeth and looked at J with a gloomy face.
“Ms. Longfellow, I didn’t realize before that you are so good at using people. You really know how to get
rid of someone once he has ceased to be useful.”
In the past, when they hadn’t divorced, Nathaniel had always thought that
J approached him for his money. But now that they had divorced, he
actually felt that he had been paid off with the money!
The atmosphere in the ward became stiff and cold for a moment.
J had a cold expression on her face, and her pale face was so beautiful
that it seemed almost unreal.
There was a hint of exhaustion in her eyes, and she looked at Nathaniel
indifferently, without any emotion.
Nathaniel felt as if he had been pricked by a needle, and the ufortable
feeling surged up again.
He really didn’t like J looking at him with that kind of gaze.
However, ever since they divorced, Nathaniel had seen that expression in
J’s eyes too many times.
It was as if J no longer had any love for him.
Both of them were silent, and the atmosphere became colder.
After a long while, the atmosphere eased up when a nurse opened the door
of the ward.
“Ms. Longfellow, someone is here to see you.”
As soon as the nurse finished speaking, Nigel rushed in.

“J, are you alright?”
Nigel brought a female nurse with him and stood at the door. He came to
J’s bed and examined her nervously.
Seeing J’s pale face, Nigel’s eyes were filled with heartache.
“What exactly happened? Does it hurt?”
J shook her head carelessly, and the corners of her mouth twitched. “It’s
just a small injury. It’s nothing.”
As soon as she finished her words, she subconsciously nced at Nathaniel.
Nigel also followed her gaze, and the moment his eyes met Nathaniel’s, the
light in Nathaniel’s eyes dimmed, turning cold bit by bit.
Nathaniel was extremely handsome, and he always had a charming smile on
his face. Now that his face was so cold, there was an indescribable shocking
feeling about it.
Nigel was not afraid of Nathaniel, and he looked at Nathaniel with the same
indifference.
At first nce, the two of them confronted each other like two enemies
meeting again.
“Mr. Webster, J said that you saved her. Thank you so much.” Nigel said
thank you, but his expression wasn’t polite at all. He looked indifferent and
said, “But I have to take care of her now. Mr. Webster, you should leave first.”
Nathaniel was kicked out for the first time in his life.
His hands tightened slightly and his expression turned cold.
Seeing that, Nigel took a step forward and looked at Nathaniel with a cynical
look. “Mr. Webster, you should understand that it’s awkward for the

ex–husband to stay in his ex–wife’s ward, especially when I am still standing. here as Jill’s boyfriend.”
Hearing that, Nathaniel suddenly looked at J. His whole body was
shrouded in ayer of coldness, but his deep eyes were full of hidden. expectations, hoping that J
could say something.
J turned her head away, not looking at Nathaniel.
Nathaniel’s expectations fell short, and after enduring for a while, he
suddenly turned around and left with big strides.
Alfred hurriedly followed Nathaniel out of the ward.
Alfred had seen Nigel just now, and he thought that Nathaniel wouldn’t be
happy, but he didn’t expect Nathaniel toe out so soon.
He was careful and didn’t dare to provoke Nathaniel.
Unexpectedly, Nathaniel spoke first, and his gloomy voice carried a
bone–chilling coldness. “How are the mercenaries?”
Nathaniel’s first reaction after receiving J’s emergency call was to call
the police. The police should be arriving soon after him.
Seeing J injured, Nathaniel didn’t care about anything else. He directly
took J to the hospital and didn’t care about what the mercenaries would
1. do.
Alfred replied in a low voice, “After the police arrived, the mercenaries all
f mercenaries running around the border of
Canada. They were also the targets the police had been observing to arrest. They were all desperados
who would do anything for money. So they asked

for a lot of money and would never let themselves fall into the hands of the
police, so…”
Nathaniel frowned slightly.
ording to that statement, the mercenaries this time were on apletely
different level from the people who had kidnapped Jst time.
Who had J offended that the other party had offered such a high price to
take her life?
Nathaniel got into the car, and his expression became darker.
As his thoughts drifted away, he subconsciously looked at the sky outside
the window that was about to light up.
He had just arrived when J was in trouble.
The surroundings were filled with mes, and his heart seemed to have been gripped tightly by someo
ne. It was almost about to break apart in an instant.
It was difficult for Nathaniel to recall the feeling at that time.
It was extreme fear… It was the feeling of being afraid of losing something.
Nathaniel took a deep breath.
Looking at Nathaniel’s state, Alfred felt a little sad for some reason.
Mr. Webster clearly cares about Ms. Longfellow very
much.
However, he did not seem to realize it.
It seems that the two of them had been in an awkward situation for so long.
I wonder how long they will be entangled.
“Investigate the origins and bases of the mercenaries. If the Canadian police
do not cooperate, there is no need to be involved with them.”
Nathaniel didn’t need the help of the Canadian police.
J was his ex–wife after ail
Even if there was a lot of unhappiness between them, even if J no longer
cared about him…
Stil, Nathaniel would never allow this to happen again,
