Chapter 179

Hamilton's eyes lit up with a spark of hope.

But before he could bask in the feeling, Natalia's words cut through the air like a knife. "Eveleen committed a crime; she deserves to face the consequences. Why on earth should I break up with Ryan?" Her words were uttered through gritted teeth, and Hamilton's face instantly soured at the tone.

Before he could respond, he saw Natalia's pale face as she slumped in her seat.

"Natalia!" Hamilton's face was stern as he quickly scooped her up in his arms.

Only then did he notice the cold sweat on her face.

"What's wrong? Are you feeling okay?"

Natalia bore the pain in silence.

Hamilton, however, quickly realized what was happening.

His hand instinctively went to her abdomen.

"Period cramps?"

Almost reflexively, Natalia pushed his hand away.

"Could you get me some painkillers, please? Thanks."

Hamilton's eyes narrowed suspiciously.

Even now, she wouldn't let him touch her.

If it wasn't for the painkillers, she probably wouldn't let him anywhere near her.

Hamilton didn't go for the painkillers.

Instead, he carried her out of the room.

She didn't want to be touched; well, he was going to touch her anyway.

"Hamilton, put me down," Natalia said weakly, still in pain.

But Hamilton just carried her towards the exit.
