Chapter 159 | Miss You

Because of the anaesthesia, Nathael hadn’t awoken immediately and was transferred to the ICU.

Alex saw Maggie’s call come through but didn’t know how to respond, so he chose not to answer.

After leaving the ICU, Nathael gradually woke up and was finally out of danger.

“Mr. Harris, Ms. Adain has called several times, probably to ask about you, Alex reported, adjusting Nathael’s bed slightly.

Nathael frowned and commanded, “Give me the phone.”

Right then, Maggie’s recent message came in.

Hearing his voice, Maggie’s worried heart finally settled. Her lips pursed slightly, and tears welled up in her

eyes.

“Maggie?” Nathael swallowed, his voice revealing a tinge of anxiety.

Maggie looked down. Maggie hid the tears that were welling–up in her eyes. She grumbled. “I thought you had moved on so quickly!”

Nathael paused, then solemnly replied, “No, there won’t be anyone new.

There was no one in the past and no other woman in the future.

It was always hers.

“So, why were you unreachable for so long?” Maggie wrapped herself in a coat and stepped onto the balcony to continue their conversation.
