Nathan exited the ward, with Oliver trailing closely behind, closing the door as he followed. Observing Nathan's somber demeanor, Oliver questioned coldly, "Nate, deep down, do you still love Sally?" Nathan paused in his tracks, his expression turning icy. "Sally may have made mistakes in her attempts to win you back, but it's all because she loves you too much. The incident at the pool must have been an accident."If you can spare a moment, perhaps you should check on Sally. Her fear of water might have traumatized her," Oliver suggested. Despite Oliver's words, Nathan remained silent, his back to Oliver as he strode away with purposeful steps, leaving no room for further discussion. Watching Nathan's retreating figure, Oliver's eyes flickered with determination. Sally had crossed a line. Despite his multiple warnings to keep her hands off Suzanne, Sally persisted in harming her. Nathan walked out of the hospital and entered the military base's armed vehicle.Cole and Lu

He sighed and leaned back into his chair, his tone incredibly gentle as he spoke, "Did I wake you?" After a day of contemplation, Suzanne could now face him calmly. A hint of detachment flickered in her eyes as she replied, "You should get some rest. I'm fine now. You don't have to stay here with me." Nathan attempted to clarify the day's events. "I didn't see you underwater. Besides, Sally can't swim." A bitter smile tugged at Suzanne's lips. While she could accept the first explanation, the second seemed absurd. How could a wealthy heiress not know how to swim? Her tone grew sharper, more frustrated. "You don't need to explain. It's unnecessary." Noticing her anger from her cutting and unforgiving words, he replied helplessly, "Suzy, I can't leave Sally alone in that situation." It was the true test of loyalty. In moments of dire need, thoughts became muddled, and instinct dictated every action. Nathan loved Sally deeply, and Suzanne had no grounds to blame him for his

Cole and Lucas rushed to restrain Loretta, preventing her from getting closer to the pool. Sally's desperate struggles in the water were chaotic, far from the movements of a proficient swimmer. "Help me! Nate, I can't swim!" she cried. Hearing the screams, Oliver, who was on the second floor, hurried outside the balcony. Startled by the commotion, he quickly rushed to the scene. Nathan stood silently at the pool's edge, observing Sally's floundering with an unsettling calm. Despite her frantic efforts, she had yet to sink. Loretta's tearful pleas for help from the butler and Oliver echoed through the air.As Oliver rushed down, Lucas restrained him. "Nathan, have you lost your mind? Sally can't swim. You need to get her out of there!" Oliver's voice thundered with rage, the veins on his neck bulging. "Are you trying to kill her?"Equally distraught and furious, Loretta begged, "Nate, please save Sally. She's in trouble. She can't swim!" Nathan remained unmoved, his demean

Oliver seethed with rage, but his voice was stifled, unable to break free from the force that dragged him away. Sally, pretending to be weak, stumbled and leaned on Loretta. "Nate, I nearly drowned. Why would you do this to me? You knew I couldn't swim. Did you want to harm me?" Despite her claim of being unable to swim, Sally managed to stay afloat for 20 minutes. After finally getting out, she appeared remarkably composed. The most perplexing part was her complete lack of symptoms related to aquaphobia. Noticing something was unusual, Loretta tightly grasped Sally's hand, scrutinizing her with astonishment. "Sally, have you overcome your fear of water? Are you no longer afraid?" Sally hesitated for a moment before bursting into tears. "Grandma, I'm terrified. I'm shaking all over, and I'm scared to death." Nathan's expression darkened. Without a word, he turned and walked away, with Cole and Lucas trailing behind. "Nate!" Sally cried out from behind them, sobbing uncontr

Nathan searched every possible place Suzanne could be in.Shovale, her mother's house, her old rented place—there wasn't a hint of her presence. She had disappeared without a trace.It'd only been a day, but he'd grown a lot wearier. The heart-wrenching pain he felt when he first left the country ten years ago had resurfaced with even greater intensity. At noon, an uninvited guest appeared at the Morrison Residence. A female lawyer had come as Suzanne's representative to settle matters regarding the divorce. In the study, the sun outside shone bright, and the room was airy. However, the atmosphere inside was depressing and suffocating. The lawyer, Lana Scott, placed a bank card and the divorce settlement agreement in front of him. "My client has already signed her name on the agreement. This bank card is yours, Mr. Morrison. She'll pay back the money she'd spent in installments."Nathan's expression was cold as he stared grimly at the document on the table. At the moment, his

"Why won't he divorce you if he doesn't love you?"Suzanne was hungry, but the food tasted like nothing to her. "His grandmother likes me a lot," she mumbled."Oh, he's quite the model grandson."The pair continued eating their mac and cheese in silence.A while later, Sienna picked up an apple and began peeling the fruit. "I think, no matter how fiery the relationship is, people are always madly in love before they get married. After marriage, everything changes."She continued, "In a marriage, there's no love. There's only duty and companionship. It doesn't matter if he loves you or not as long as he's willing to spend on you."Suzanne smiled bitterly at her and said, "Why are you so pessimistic when you're not even married yet?"Sienna laughed. "I've seen too many unfortunate circumstances in married life to ever want to get married. Besides, it's not that bad being on my own.""I want to be like you, too," Suzanne agreed. "After I get divorced, I'll never get married ag

"Let's talk." Nathan's tone was soft, and his gaze was laced with gentleness. Suzanne lowered her head. "My lawyer already informed you clearly. There's nothing to talk about between us," she replied.His fist tightened, and his voice hardened slightly. "You promised me," he said. "You said you wouldn't threaten to divorce again."She lifted her head and looked at him before replying angrily, "You also promised me you'd cut ties with Sally Hoffis.""I haven't been in contact with her at all," he clarified firmly.Upset, she clenched her fists. Her eyes instantly welled up with tears. So, he was still so in love with her despite no longer being in contact?Nathan was all she could think about when she was on the brink of death. Yet, this man chose to save his unattainable crush, who could swim, and abandoned her.It pained her every time she recalled the memory. "Without Oliver, I'd be your dead wife by now," she choked out.Nathan grew panicked. "Without Oliver, I'd save bot

Suzanne's body stiffened. Then, she tried to push him away in frustration.However, the more she resisted, the tighter Nathan held her. He hugged her tightly and buried his face in her hair. As he took in the light scent on her body, he said with a pained voice, "Let's not get divorced, Suzy. Please?"Fighting back tears in his embrace, Suzanne still shook her head in refusal.Nathan gradually closed his moist and bloodshot eyes. He couldn't calm himself at all.First, it was Sally's departure. Now, it's Suzanne wanting a divorce. The pain was endless.He'd been stabbed and shot before, but physical pains were nothing compared to the pain he'd received in the form of heartache.He never wanted to fall in love ever again.Nathan held Suzanne tightly. He eased the discomfort in his heart and suppressed his emotions before asking, "We've been married for almost half a year. Have you ever liked me?"She liked him and even loved him, but her heart had been broken too many times in
