Chapter 8
I followed Nathan to the hospital. The moment we walked in, a doctor pulled him aside.
Mr. Pierce, there are some things we need to discuss…”
didn’t wait for him-I headed straight for Isabella’s room.
ust as my hand touched the door handle, I heard Isabella chatting with her friends inside.
Isabella, why don’t you just get rid of this baby?”
Yeah, it’s not even Nathan’s kid. You’re really planning to keep it?”
froze in disbelief.
‘he baby wasn’t Nathan’s?
What’s the rush? I still need this baby to torture Jade Rivers! I have to get that woman away from Nathan completely! Otherwise I an’t even sleep peacefully. This baby is still useful to me-all of you better be careful. Don’t let Nathan find out the baby isn’t his!”
So who’s the father? Do you even know?”
How would I know? There were so many guys that night…”
When I appeared in the doorway, Isabella’s face went white as a sheet.
When did you get here? How much did you hear?”
I didn’t hear anything.”
I this had been before, I definitely would have told Nathan the truth-because I genuinely cared about him getting hurt.
ut now? I couldn’t care less.
esides, I knew Nathan wouldn’t believe anything I said anyway.
walked into the room and dropped straight to my knees.
eeing me kneel, everyone in the room was clearly startled.
sabella frowned. “What are you doing?”
I’m sorry. I came to apologize. It was my fault-I shouldn’t have pushed you.”
begged emotionlessly. Once, twice, three times….
Over the past five years, I’d even gotten on my knees for business partners because of Nathan.
He’d sworn he’d never make me kneel to anyone again.
But this time, he was the one forcing me.
When Nathan entered the room, I’d already kowtowed so many times my forehead was swollen and throbbing.

Chapter 8
I thought I saw a flash of pain in Nathan’s eyes-but that had to be my imagination.
Him, feeling sony for me? Impossible.
“Is that enough?”
Isabella sniffled, looking fragile: “Nathan, what is Secretary Rivers doing? I already said not to blame her. Why won’t you listen?”
“She made a mistake. She needs to apologize for it.”
His voice was ice-cold. Yeah, that moment of seeming concern was definitely my imagination.
How could such a heartless man feel sorry for me?
Yes, I should apologize. As long as Mrs. Pierce forgives me, I’ll do anything.”
‘Really? Then would you be my bridesmaid at the wedding?”
I had no idea what game Isabella was playing, but I didn’t care anymore.
3y their wedding day, I’d be long gone anyway.
Sure.” I nodded. “I agree. Thank you for forgiving me, Mrs. Pierce.”
turned to leave, but Nathan grabbed my hand, seeming like he wanted to say something.
Thank you for giving me the chance to apologize, Mr. Pierce. I’m leaving now.”
pulled free from his grip and walked out of the hospital without looking back.
The moment I stepped outside, my phone rang.
Ms. Rivers, how did it go? My car is already downstairs at your place. When are you planning to come to my company?”
Right now. But could you pick me up from the hospital instead?”
fathan stood by the window. When he saw me get into a black Cullinan, an inexplicable irritation washed over him.
le definitely had no idea I’d just gotten into that car and left him behind completely.
