Semua Bab Her Heart’s Not Yours Anymore: Bab 31 - Bab 40

The car slowly came to a stop at the foot of Kylie's apartment building. Nathan said softly, "Kylie, we're here."Kylie slowly opened her eyes. When she saw the familiar street scene outside, she rubbed her head and said apologetically, "Sorry, I ended up falling asleep while we were chatting..."Nathan just smiled, his voice warm. "It's fine."Just as Kylie reached out to open the car door and get out, Nathan called her back."Kylie, do you know why I gave you the lowest score back then?"Kylie was surprised. She turned to face him and asked, "Why?"A faint blush crept up Nathan's face. "I wanted to get your attention."She froze, caught off guard. For a second, she didn't know how to respond. Then, quickly regaining her composure, she said, "It's late. I should go."Nathan didn't push it. He simply smiled and nodded. "Goodnight, Kylie."She got out of the car and turned back to wave at him through the window. Only when Nathan's car disappeared down the street did she head

Zoey's voice dripped with disdain, and Kylie could feel the contempt in her words. She had no interest in playing along, so she got straight to the point."Yes, I was with Mr. Sinclair before. But at the time, I had no idea he was engaged. And for the record, we've already broken up, so you can stop worrying. If you're talking about the cocktail party, then yes—I was drugged that night. Maybe Mr. Sinclair helped me out of old sentiments, but that was nothing more than an accident. Since you're his fiancee, I'd imagine you'd have more faith in him."Her bluntness only fueled Zoey's rage. She clenched her teeth and hissed, "You shameless little—! You seduced Jon, and now you dare to act all self-righteous? Looks like you don't know what's good for you!"Kylie met her glare without flinching. "Ms. Whitfield, I'm not quitting. I'll keep working here unless Mr. Sinclair himself fires me."Kylie didn't know where she found the nerve, but at that moment, she refused to back down.Zoey

Kylie felt utterly helpless when her phone rang. It was Nathan.She answered the call, and Nathan hesitated before speaking."Hey, Kylie, there's something I need to tell you."Her heart skipped a beat. Could he have received the same video?"Did you get a video too?" Kylie asked, her voice laced with concern."What video?" Nathan sounded confused."Oh, never mind. What did you want to tell me?""Do you have time tonight? I think it's better to tell you in person.""Is it something important?""Yeah, it's kind of important. I'd rather tell you face to face.""Alright then."So, Kylie agreed to meet Nathan at a restaurant near the hospital later that evening. Nathan arrived early, while Kylie was delayed by traffic.When she finally walked in, she was immediately curious about what he had to say."What's going on?" Kylie asked, eager to find out."Nathan, I'm going to join the Global Care Initiative, at least for the next six months.""Really?!" Kylie's eyes widened in su

The next morning, Kylie was jolted awake by Nathan's international call."Kylie! The people from the Altheria medical funding program have responded. The application has been approved!" Nathan's voice was brimming with excitement.Kylie understood immediately. This was Jonathan fulfilling his promise. She forced a smile and replied, "Really? That's amazing!""The Global Care Initiative has been postponed, so I might not be able to come back. But they've asked me to go to Altheria next week for an international exchange program. I'll be there for two weeks, and I can help with your brother's treatment while I'm there. It's such perfect timing. Everything is falling into place."Nathan was practically glowing with joy, but Kylie's heart suddenly tightened.She knew better. None of this was a coincidence. This was Jonathan's careful planning.Nathan went on to explain a series of steps and procedures, and Kylie listened in silence, her mind elsewhere.After hanging up, Kylie sa

In the upscale beauty salon in the city center, Zoey had just finished a relaxing spa treatment and was feeling refreshed.As she walked toward the parking garage to get her car, she was suddenly yanked from behind. Before she could react, a hand covered her mouth to muffle her startled scream.She was dragged into a car and taken to a dark, damp room. With a harsh shove, she was thrown onto the floor.Zoey's voice trembled with fear as she shouted, "Do you know who I am? Are you trying to get yourselves killed?"A group of burly men stood idly in the room, their arms crossed. At the sound of her shouting, the leader of the group, Silas Yates, impatiently waved his hand and said, "Shut up, you stupid woman."The man's eyes raked over Zoey, a lecherous grin spreading across his face. Zoey immediately realized his intentions. She scrambled to the corner, her voice rising in panic. "What do you want with me? Are you looking to die?"Silas chuckled darkly, taking a slow step toward
