Nathan took a deep breath, leaned on the edge of the bed, stared straight at Chloe, and said,
"How about we do this? .... Don't laugh. I'm being serious! You're also responsible for what happened today, right? You have to take responsibility for the rest of my life! From now on, I'm entrusting the rest of my life to you!"
"Nathan."
A deep voice suddenly sounded from the doorway of the ward, instantly freezing Nathan into an ice sculpture.
When Damon opened the door, he heard Chloe's laughter from inside. He was slightly surprised.
He seemed to have never seen her laugh like this. Although the laughter was a bit suppressed at the end, he could still feel her happiness at this moment.
He closed the door, and walked towards the ward. The carpet in the hallway was soft, his footsteps not loud.
Just approaching the door of the ward, he saw Nathan leaning on Chloe's bed, saying that Chloe should take responsibility for the rest of his life.
His suppressed heart began to churn.
These two really made him worried.
Chloe looked at the door, and saw Damon's figure appearing at the door. The laughter that was uncontrollable just now disappeared without a trace.
Just because of his gloomy expression and his cold aura. It was simply too scary!
"You...are back."
Damon looked at her briefly, didn't bother much, but turned his attention to Nathan.
"Come out with me."
Nathan shook his head, "Bro, there's really a misunderstanding here."
"Out."
Damon's indifferent look was unquestionable as if he was hurrying Nathan. And if Nathan didn't come out obediently, it would cause him more pain.
Nathan didn't dare to resist, and stood up while begging for mercy, "I didn't mean anything just now, I just wanted Chloe to put in a good word for me. Bro, go easy on me, I still have a wife and kids to support, what will they do if you really hurt me?"
Chloe slightly pulled the corner of her mouth. Did he only now think of pleading using the names of Yulia and Anya?
Damon said nothing.
"Bro, I really know I was wrong. You really need to show mercy, we are brothers..."
Looking at Nathan's trembling and pitiful appearance, Chloe felt somewhat unbearable.
After all, at the banquet, he was initially planning to protect her.
But in the end...
Wasn't she the one who stopped him?
Sighing, Chloe lifted the quilt and got out of bed. As soon as her legs touched the ground, there was a slight tearing pain in her knee.
She whispered lightly, and Damon immediately strode over to pick her up.
Chloe glanced over Damon's shoulder, signaling Nathan to leave quickly.
Nathan valued his life very much and understood Chloe's blinking hint in an instant, immediately running out.
The door of the ward was slammed shut, and Damon just frowned, not having time to care about Nathan.
He put Chloe back on the bed, then lowered his head to look at her, his eyes heavy. His face was not angry, nor pitiful, without any emotional fluctuations, his voice even more deeply somber.
"What are you trying to do?"
"...Go to the bathroom."
