Chapter 681
The girl became a little anxious when Lionel did not respond.
“Are you still there? Did you faint or something?”
“No.” Lionel wearily closed his eyes and spoke in a frail voice, “I’m very tired, and I just to
rest for a while.”
“No, you mustn’t sleep!” The girl frantically knocked on the wall separating them,
attempting to rouse his consciousness. “With such severe injuries, if you fall asleep and
lose too much blood, you might never wake up again!”
Lionel was amused.
He had trained with Elliot in the military since he was young. With such great form, he
would not die so easily.
Nevertheless, she was the first stranger besides Elliot and Sheena to show such concern
for him, and it warmed his heart.
“Did you really fall asleep? Or are you close to death?”
The banging on the wall echoed again.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“I’m not…‘
The girl sighed in relief, saying, “If you’re really sleepy, I can keep you company, talk to
you, or even tell you stories!”
“Do you know any horror stories?”
“Um… Aren’t we living in a horror story now?”
Lionel weakly scanned the cell, chuckling.
Indeed, their surroundings were quite eerie.
“I’ll tell you some lame jokes!”
“Our situation is bad enough as it is…”
“Well, nothing but some lame jokes to lighten the mood!”
Lionel was left speechless by her reply.
As they chatted, they became more and more comfortable with each other, chatting for
almost half an hour.
It was only when the doctor Nathaniel called in arrived that they stopped.
Chapter 681

Nathaniel once again sent Sheena back to the small apartment on the outskirts, restricting
her movements from the entire apartment to just staying in her room.
Sheena did not complain or express dissatisfaction. She simply asked him for two
parenting books to pass the time during these boring days. In terms of food, Nathaniel
went out of his way to fulfill her requests.
As Sheena was already having morning sickness and increased sleepiness despite being
only two and a half weeks pregnant, Nathaniel arranged for a female gynecologist to visit
daily in the afternoons to examine her and provide targeted
care.
At noon, Nathaniel was summoned by Kelly.
“Mom.”
He stood respectfully in front of Kelly, separated by a coffee table.
Putting down her coffee cup, Kelly’s expression turned serious.
“Tell me honestly, is Ms. Lawson pregnant with your child?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmNathaniel hesitated, his gaze fixed on the floor before answering, “Yes.”
“You still want to protect her and not tell the truth?”
Growing impatient, Kelly overturned the partially consumed coffee cup on the table, and
some of the coffee accidentally splashed onto her hand. Since the table was over a carpet,
the noise was not loud.
Observing this, Nathaniel immediately went around the table, crouched at her feet, and
used a wet tissue to wipe her hands.
Seeing his obedient and filial demeanor, Kelly’s anger subsided a bit.
She advised, “Nate, you’re being foolish! I’ve already investigated and found she was
engaged in Froania long before. Judging by your expression last night, this child is most
likely from her fiance in Froania, right?”
Nathaniel kept his head low, staying silent.
Kelly was frustrated, and her favorable impression of Sheena from before was completely
shattered.
