Chapter 50
Even though | didn’t love Jared anymore, the smell of another woman's perfon him and that fake gentle way
he talked tomadewant to throw up.
Maybe in front of Jared and Tracy, both smart and good at handling emotions, | was a total dunce. They thought
they could trick me, while | was totally clueless.
In my previous life, I really didn’t know anything. Not even that Tracy had an abortion to win Yvonne over. | was
so ignorant, pouring all my love into my daughter and husband, cooking at hand waiting for them to come
back.
“Why aren’t you eating?” Jared sat next to me, staring at his phone.
“I'm not hungry,” I said calmly.
“Go hand rest tonight. I'll stay with Yvonne.” Jared rubbed his temples, looking tired. “Did you argue with
Yvonne again?”
“If she doesn’t respectas her mom, | can’t love her like before.” | grabbed my bag and stood up as | spoke.
“Thanks for the help. I'm leaving now.”
Jared's hand froze on his forehead as he watchedleave. | left too fast for him to say anything.
Jared and Yvonne were always on the sside. | learned not to care about them anymore.
1 got home, took a shower, and fell asleep on the bed.
The next morning, | ached all over and felt chills. | asked Wendy to bring the thermometer. It read 103 degrees.
“Ma’am, you're sick...” Wendy cclose to helpingup.
| stopped her right away. “Don’t cin. My cold is contagious. You and Joyce should leave work early.”

Wendy froze, about to speak but stopped herself.
I smiled weakly, “Yvonne got sick yesterday; | took care of her. Now I'm feverish, too. It's definitely contagious.
Don’t worry. I'll go to the hospital myself.”
Wendy's eyes lit up for a second. She nodded and left.
I sank back into bed. Though I felt awful, | managed to get up. Not bothering to fix my hair, | got dressed and
drove straight
out,
| skipped the big hospitals. | remembered a good clinic near the Harmonia Hotel. I'd get a shot first. | parked my
car and stumbled toward the clinic.
The aches and exhaustion madebreak out in cold sweats. After just a short walk, | felt queasy and miserable.
1 leaned against a tree trunk, gagging but nothing cup, as a deep male voice asked nearby. “What's
wrong?”
With tears in my eyes, | looked up and saw Nathan. “Mr. Hallman?” | asked in surprise. “What are you doing
here?”
“I'm here for breakfast.” As he spoke, Nathan kept staring at me. “You look pale. Are you sick? Want to go to the
hospital?”

“No, | just need a shot at the clinic up ahead.” After saying this, | got my strength back and kept walking.
Nathan followed behind me, worried. “Is it a cold? Lettake you there.”
‘No need. | can handle it myself.” | was not delicate.
Nathan ignoredand moved closer. | didn’t see the path clearly and tripped on a raised brick, stumbling
forward.
Just then, Nathan reached out, grabbed my arm, and pulledback. | nearly fell into his arms, my legs weak.
Nathan was stunned to see how feeble | looked. Without saying a thing, he scoopedup and carriedlike a
bride.
“Nathan... putdown!” | freaked out, yelling his name.
“You're about to pass out, but you're still pushing it. Why act like a kid?” Nathan snapped at me.
“I'm okay, really. Putdown.” Getting carried like a princess by a guy so carly in the day was super awkward,
and | was married.
Nathan marched ahead quickly. The clinic was right there, and he carriedstraight in.
| felt dizzy and sore all over. When the meds hit my vein, | let out a sigh of relief. When | was at my weakest, |
really wanted a bit of kindness from others.
“Go on, Mr. Hallman. I'm fine here,” | whispered.
“Not till you're done with the drip,” Nathan said, sitting beside me, his eyes warm and caring.
“This drip will take at least two hours,” | said, looking up as the young nurse, cheeks red, brought two more
bottles of meds.
“No problem. I've got time,” Nathan said calmly.
Hearing that, | knew I couldn't get rid of him, so | added, “Then get a mask from the doctor. Don’t catch this from
a,
Nathan's face dropped, looking hurt for no reason. “What, are you scared? Think someone might see us?”
“See what?” | tried to warn him to protect himself, but he was moping for no reason.
With a hint of sadness, Nathan got up, asked the doctor for a black mask, and quietly put it on next to me.
I turned to him. His eyes looked hurt as he said, “If you won't tellto leave, and wantto hide my face, |
will.”
“What's all this about?” His pitiful look madelaugh, but I said firmly, “Mr. Hallman, | got this from my kid. I'm
honestly worried about you.”
“If you say so,” Nathan had a “whatever floats your boat” look.
| totally got Nathan's deal. He had a thing forfor years. No matter that | got married or got a kid, nothing
stopped him from getting close.
Honestly, he was handsome, charming, tech billionaire material. At 27, he was the kind that made women go
wild.
But | was done with guys. | wouldn't get caught up in feelings. If he would like to givescareer advice, |
was all ears.
Nathan sat quietly by me, not saying a word. His deep eyes, half-hidden under his mask, shone, maybe from
mood or just seeing me.

“Miss, get your husband to grab your meds!” the doctor yelled from across the room.
Both Nathan and I looked shocked.

“Okay!” To my surprise, Nathan stood up and walked over. He stood by the doctor, listening carefully, and | felt
all nervous.
