Chapter 113: You Dare Insult My Husband?

"I didn’t know John was so skilled," Natalie murmured.

"He used to be a mercenary before he started working for me. He’s far more dangerous than you can imagine," Justin added.

Natalie was surprised to hear that but asked no more as they entered the patient room.

"Mr. Ford, your family is here," a nurse informed him.

The old man opened his eyes, and the moment he saw Natalie, his lips curved into a faint smile.

Seeing this, Natalie felt reassured that her grandpa was no longer angry with her. Although it was all built on a lie, Justin had once again saved her. But how long could this lie last? Once Albert was better, she would explain everything to him properly, hoping that he would understand her situation and not be too shocked.

"Grandpa," she said softly, holding his hand. "How are you feeling?"

"I’m fine," the old man replied. "I’m sorry for scaring you."

"It’s alright, Grandpa, as long as you’re okay."

Albert then looked at Justin, who offered him a polite nod.

"What should I call you—Justin or Aiden?" Albert asked.

"Aiden would be fine," Justin replied.

He didn’t want anyone around to know who he truly was. If word got out that he was in the city, the news would spread everywhere, disrupting his peace.

Albert looked back at Natalie. "I’m glad someone like Justin Harper is with you. No doubt he’s a wealthy man, but he’s also humble and genuinely cares about you. I don’t have to worry about you two facing any financial troubles. My Natalie can have a good life now. Leave this family and live your life with your husband."
