Chapter 302 A Warning

The following morning, Nathael had just finished helping Maggie change the dressing on her back when Mia arrived with breakfast.

“Maggie! Seriously? You ended up in the hospital just from getting laid?!” Mia exclaimed as she entered the

room

Maggie was shocked and almost choked at Mia’s words.

“Mia! Watch your language!” Maggie’s face flushed red as she spoke through clenched teeth.

Mia, with her long, curly hair and tall, attractive figure, had the air of an elegant yet lazy Persian cat.

She smiled and remarked, “Oh, you’re still able to talk back, so it can’t be too serious.”

Maggie scowled, avoiding Nathael’s gaze and trying to blend into the background.

Mia sat on the bed edge, touching Maggie’s forehead. “Looks like the fever isn’t too bad.”

Maggie sighed. “I know you’re concerned about me, but it somehow feels like you’re here to make fun of

Mia chuckled. “You think too highly of yourself. I’m here just to make fun of you!”

“Mia! You’re such a heartless friend!”

“Alright, alright. I’ll stop. I now know Nathael’s so powerful in bed that he put you here,” Mia conceded.

Maggie struggled to breathe, and Nathael remained composed. “Thanks for the compliment, Ms. Gatlin. But our private matters are none of your concern.”

“Fine. I’m just here to see Maggie!” Mia said, not wanting to argue with Nathael after her previous run–in with him resulted in her allowance being cut off for a month.

“Joyce has an audition; she’ll come by later,” Mia said warmly.

“I’m okay. She doesn’t have to come. If she gets hassled by the paparazzi, they’ll make up stories about her. again,” Maggie said softly.
