Chapter 214

Hamilton's gaze lingered on Natalia after deleting the message, a mixture of emotions flickering through his eyes.

Natalia withdrew her hand, not bothering with excuses or reassurances this time, simply stating, "Let's go to the hospital." Hamilton's expression darkened slightly at her words.

Heartless woman, she truly doesn't care.

Without another word, he started the car and drove directly to the hospital.

Upon their arrival, they bumped into Ronin Joyner and Mason Joyner.

Ronin sneered upon seeing Hamilton.

"Well, well, Mr. Fowler, what brings you here today? I heard your high school sweetheart got hurt. Why aren't you by her side?" Hamilton's face turned stone cold instantly.

It was the worst time to bring that up, and yet Ronin just had to mention it.

"Mr. Joyner seems quite well-informed," Hamilton retorted.

Ronin leaned a bit closer to Natalia, "Of course, how could I not be? Your high school sweetheart is a celebrity after all!"

A shadow passed through Hamilton's eyes.

"Mr. Joyner, with all your concern, one might think you have a crush on her."

Ronin suddenly laughed, glancing at Natalia, "Who I have a crush on is no secret to you, is it?"

Hamilton's gaze shifted to Natalia.

Natalia, however, remained expressionless, as if Ronin's words were nothing new to her.

But considering their frequent collaboration at work, it was hardly surprising Ronin would speak so freely around her.

Hamilton couldn't quite place the feeling stirring within him.
