Chapter 263

She once told Nathan to be a man of integrity, but what about her? She was the embodiment of double-dealing

and malice. Would Nathan be let down by her actions? Nathalie awkwardly turned her head, avoiding Nathan's

eyes. Greta couldn't help but gloat. "Nathalie, you're destined for a rough ending with your wicked ways."

Nathalie met her gaze with calm resolve. "Have | ever gotten anything good in return?"

Her life was a string of betrayals. Her father left her when she was just a baby. Her mother abused her. Cameron

lied to her. Greta used her and then stomped all over her.

In her previous life, she didn't commit any wrongs, yet she suffered and met an unjust end. Why should she be

good in this life? Those who couldn't reach her would eventually becthe weapons she'd use to fight back.

The only wild card was Nathan. He was the one person she wanted to be genuine with.

Greta sensed Nathalie's vulnerability. She knew how to hit where it hurt. She kept pressing Nathan, "Mr. Nathan,

trust me, Nathalie isn't as good as she seems. If you stick around, she'll turn on you. Best to keep your distance."

Nathan tuned out Greta's ramblings entirely. His eyes stayed locked on Nathalie, and the despair in her eyes

made his heart ache. He could feel the hopelessness beneath her burning hatred. Had she not been so deeply

hurt, would she have risked her reputation just to drag Cameron and the others down?

Her hatred and pain twisted Nathan's heart, causing him intense anguish.

"Mr. Nathan, don't you see? She's using you as a shield for her arrogance. Please, don't be fooled by her." Greta

continued.

"Shut it!" Nathan, exasperated by Greta's endless chatter, snapped at her.

Greta was taken aback. She thought her plan was working as Nathan seemed less composed. She shot Nathalie

a smug look.

"Nathalie, justice will catch up with you. You'll pay for what you've done."

"Get out," Nathalie replied.

Greta was surprised. Nathan and Nathalie seemed to be on the swavelength. Even the tone they used to tell

her to leave was identical. With nothing left to say, Greta left in defeat.

The hospital room fell into an unusual calm.

"Is what she said true?" Nathan asked.

Nathalie nodded almost

imperceptibly. She didn't want to deceive Nathan. Her voice was rough. "Now you know that I'm such a

despicable person. Are you disappointed in me?"

"Why did you do it?" Nathan's voice was sharp. He was clearly upset.

Nathalie felt her defenses crumble. She was overwhelmed by a deep sense of loss. She was probably about to

lose the only person who had ever shown her kindness. "Don't worry, | won't drag you into this mess." Her voice

was tinged with sadness.

Nathan sighed, moved to the chair beside her bed, and sat down. He gently took her hand and said softly, "I'm

not mad because I'm

ooo

disappointed. I'm upset because you don't care about yourself, and were quick to use such a reckless plan for

revenge. You're hurting yourself. Don't you know how worried I've been?"

Nathalie was taken aback. Nathan's unwavering support and care warmed her heart, melting away sof the

coldness inside.
