Chapter 248


    Chapter 248 Nathaniel’s Still Holding Onto His Humanity


    Inside the ward.


    Nigel knew what had happened and was still in a state of shock.


    Fortunately, fortunately…


    Though Nigel did not want to admit this, Nathaniel indeed saved J.


    Fortunately, Nathaniel was holding onto his humanity.


    Otherwise, J would have been shot and killed.


    “I’m d you’re okay.” Nigel’s voice was a little hoarse. He took a deep breath


    and sat by the bed, gazing at J. He unconsciously reached out to hold her hand. “I’m scared to dea


    th. In the future… I’ll protect you.”


    J was shocked by his sudden movement. She quickly withdrew her hand


    back and looked away as if nothing had happened.


    She looked at the dark–skinned caregiver and changed the topic. “Thank you


    for taking her here. You helped me a lot.”


    “It’s nothing.”


    Nigel didn’t hold her hand. He knew that J definitely resisted his touch.


    He felt really sad deep down, as if he was at rock bottom. However, he hid


    his true feelings behind a nonchnt smile. “It’s the least I could do. Let me


    take care of you for the next few days.”


    J said sincerely, “It’s hard for me to move around. The caregiver will take


    good care of me. Thank you.” Then she refused directly, “She will stay with


    1. me. That’s enough. I know you’re busy, so I’m not going to detain you.”


    Nigel subconsciously wanted to retort.


    However, seeing J’s pale face as well as the pain and tiredness in her


    eyes, he bit back the words he would like to have said.


    He did not want to bother J or bore her. Not even a little bit.


    Moreover, at this time, J was injured.


    Nigel pursed his lips and tried his best to suppress the overwhelming sense


    of loss. “Alright. Get some rest.”


    As he spoke, Nigel looked at the caregiver and instructed her, “Lily Cole, take


    good care of her.”


    Lily hurriedly stepped forward, nodded, and carefully asked how to address


    J.


    When it was all arranged, Nigel reluctantly left.


    Before leaving, Nigel called Lily outside the door and warned her that if


    Nathaniel came again, she must inform him at once.


    Lily got defensive and nodded heavily.


    With Lily’s help, J could easily move around.


    When dawn broke, a doctor came to give J a check–up. The nurse who


    came with the doctor was enthusiastic and nosy, asking where J’s


    handsome husband had gone.


    J was stunned for a long time before she realized that the nurse was


    referring to Nathaniel.


    “He’s not my husband,” she replied seriously, feeling bitter deep down.


    The nurse seemed unconvinced and told J not to be shy. She said that Nathaniel must be her husb

    No matter what J said, the nurse thought that J was too shy to tell


    her the truth. Then J stopped exining and let the nurse tease her.


    Anyway, Nathaniel was no longer her husband,


    After the check–up, J had lunch and felt sleepy. Jy propped up on


    cushions and gradually fell asleep.


    The anesthetic in her abdomen began to wear off. She felt that she was


    trapped in a dream.


    She could clearly feel the pain in her lower abdomen and knew that she was


    in a dream, but she could not get out.


    In the dream, it was a bright day. She saw a few vaguely familiar figures.


    It seemed to be…


    Father and Mother!


    J widened her eyes and ran up to them, trying to hug them.


    But when she was close to those figures, they suddenly disappeared. J


    hugged nothing.


    Soon, another figure appeared in front of her.


    The figure was tall and wiry with broad shoulders. J was so familiar with


    him…


    J stood on the spot and watched him quietly, a strong sense of sadness


    surging from the bottom of her heart.


    Nathaniel…


    She had loved and hated him, but now she was disheartened and didn’t want

    to see him anymore.


    However, fate had other ideas and she got entangled with him repeatedly.


    The bitter dream made her feel suffocated and painful. She almost could not


    breathe. She raised her hand to punch her chest, trying to get rid of the


    tightness. However, when she was about to punch herself in the chest, her


    hand was suddenly held by someone.


    J suddenly opened her eyes and turned to look at


    the bedside coldly. Lily, who was holding her hand, was shocked by her eyes and let go of her in


    embarrassment.


    “Ms. Longfellow, are you all right?”


    Lily was born in Canada. Her dark skin made her look kind and honest.


    J came back to her senses. She slowly exhaled and withdrew her hand.


    “I know that you were trapped in a dream. My family had also been like this


    before…”


    Lily seemed to be trying to calm J down. She whispered to J about


    her family story.


    J calmed down bit by bit.


    But her longing for her parents reached its peak at this moment.


    She couldn’t help but begin to hate herself.


    If she wasn’t so ipetent… Perhaps, she would have found a witness this time. At least, she would


    n’t be so careless and fall into a trap.


    Really…


    J’s frown deepened.


    After Lily finished speaking, J asked her to get some food, while she


    called Marco.


    “Marco? In America… What did Conrad do recently?”
