My stomach hurts …"

"Why does your stomach hurt?" Henry frowned in confusion. "I'll call a doctor over!"

Natalie quickly stopped him. Her voice was faint as she said, "It's just my period cramps. Don't worry. I can bear it.

Natalie was using her hand to rub her stomach to relieve the pain.

Henry noticed what she was doing and got on the hospital bed.

"You …" Natalie stared at him, unable to figure out what he was trying to do.

"I'll help rub your stomach," Henry replied. Then, he lay beside her and stretched his hands under the cover.

Henry's hands were hot, and Natalie's body tensed up the moment his hands touched her stomach.

She held his hand and gulped. "It's okay … I-I can do it myself."

His actions were too intimate.

"Be a good girl and listen to me." Henry knew what Natalie was worried about. He looked solemn as he promised, "Don't worry. I won't cross any boundaries."

How could he sleep with her while she was injured?

However, he only realized how tormenting it woul

She was waiting for Henry to return.Finally, she heard the door open.She glanced at the clock. It was past 5 am.The sky outside was also slowly getting bright.Natalie quickly closed her eyes when she heard Henry walk in. She didn't talk to him either.Henry didn't disturb her too, assuming she was asleep.However, she could feel him standing beside the hospital bed.She continued to pretend to be asleep as Henry watched.

    Henry had intended to ignore Noelle.He had indeed fallen for Juliet back then.She had also brought him warmth throughout the years. She would soothe all his hurt and pain with her melody every time she played the piano.However, Juliet changed.Perhaps it was because of her family, she became overly ambitious. She was willing to abandon him for her ambitions.That decision was enough for Henry to realize where their relationship stood.However, he didn't fault her for being ambitious. He had still treated her as his friend after she returned from abroad three years later.He wouldn't have treated her so harshly if she didn't do all those cruel things.

    "What would you do if you were in my shoes?" Henry asked instead.Leonard felt slightly awkward as he said, "I-I only play around. You're the one who fell for her. I can't answer your question …"Henry stayed silent, feeling defeated."There are plenty of fish in the sea. There's no need for you to be so depressed over Natalie." Leonard got up and walked toward him. He patted Henry's shoulders and said, "Let's go out. I'll bring you to see the different fishes in the sea!"You can't beat yourself up over this forever." Leonard's eyes were full of worry.Suddenly, someone knocked on Henry's office door."Come in," Henry said.Wade made his way into the office holding an envelope in his hands. It was Juliet's suicide note from the hospital."Mr. Chase, our security has received a certain item …" Wade was slightly hesitant."What is it?" Henry looked up indifferently."They claim it's Ms. Weaver's suicide letter …" Wade was exasperated. However, he didn't dare to get rid of su

    "Don't you think it's rude to enter someone's ward without asking?" Natalie's voice was cold.It was Jennifer. Natalie didn't think there was anything to talk about between them.It was evident that Jennifer didn't have good intentions to meet her so late at night. Jennifer slowly walked toward Natalie and looked down at her.Her gaze was full of sympathy and mockery."I thought Henry wouldn't leave your side since you're injured now. I never thought …" Then, Jennifer slowly took a photo from her bag and placed it before Natalie. She continued, "I never thought he would be in the mood to be with other women."Natalie looked down to see Henry being surrounded by women.The photo was glaring to her eyes. But not only was it glaring, but it also made her heart break.But wasn't this what she wanted?His decision to give up on her and start anew wasn't so bad.

    Dean replied to Natalie quickly. "Download the registration form. Bring it to my office after you've filled it out. However, the higher-ups have the final say since there's only one available slot."The higher-ups? Would it be Henry?If he saw that she had applied for training abroad …Natalie quickly chased away her thoughts.Henry was a busy man. He wouldn't have time to worry about such little things in each department.With that thought in mind, Natalie quickly replied to Dean. "Alright, Mr. Jenkins."Natalie had always been quick and effective. She quickly filled out the form and handed it to Dean.Dean took the application form and said, "The final result will be posted on the bulletin board in two days."She could wait two days.

Wade's expression was solemn as he said, "Mr. Chase, you didn't bring your phone with you because you were in too much of a rush."There are multiple missed calls from your brother.""Where's my phone?"Wade immediately handed Henry his phone.Then, Henry stopped in his steps and called Harry as he remained standing in the corridor.Harry quickly answered the phone, sounding anxious. "Henry! Dad fainted. He's now in the hospital! I'm waiting outside the operation room!"Henry's expression remained indifferent as he laughed coldly. "What's he trying to pull again? Is he ready to stir up some trouble after living peacefully for a while?""He really fainted! Henry, could you come over?

    Henry didn't turn around. But his hand that rested on the doorknob paused momentarily, hesitating to open the door and leave."Before I go, could I hear you call me 'Dad' just once?" Cliff's gaunt face carried a hint of hope and longing.He wanted to hear Henry call him Dad. But for so many years, he had never heard it.More than once, he had reprimanded Henry, telling him he had no respect for him as a father.Unfortunately, Henry never understood the true intention behind this scolding. Instead, far from understanding, it only made their relationship worse.Henry's grip on the doorknob tightened quietly.For a moment, he almost thought he was hallucinating.Didn't Cliff dislike him, his own son?How could he…"If… If it's possible, that might bring me some peace," Cliff then added. But as he lay there waiting, he received no reply from Henry.After a while, Henry opened the door and left.The word 'Dad' was more challenging to utter than he had imagined.Simply put, there

    However, Celine wasn't aware that when she'd quickly run off, Henry had shown up at the other end of the hallway.Although Celine was quite far away, Henry could still tell that it was her.When Henry saw her, he briefly paused at wheeling himself. It was only when Celine's figure completely vanished at the elevator that he wheeled himself into Natalie's ward.He had just finished speaking with the doctor in his office regarding Natalie's condition. The doctor informed him that Natalie might not be able to hold pens for some time. And even if Natalie was able to take care of herself in the later stages of recovery, her hands might not be as agile as before.
