Chapter 868
Nathan had long sensed trouble brewing, and it was eating him up. He couldn’t figure out what on earth he had done to deserve this.
“I really didn’t see this coming…”
Damon looked at him, “Spill it, what the hell happened?”
“I was having some snacks with Chloe.
“Felix came over to chat with Chloe.
“Then Elsa stormed in accusing Chloe of trying to steal her fiancé!”
Nathan blurted out these three sentences without hesitation, as if he had been mulling over them in his head for ages.
Damon squinted his eyes, “So, Elsa was the one who slapped her and hurt her leg?”
Nathan nodded, “Yes!”
Damon’s face turned even grimmer.
Suddenly, he let go of Nathan’s hand, dropped his arm, and clenched his fist tightly, his muscles straining and stretching his sleeve.
He stood there, gritting his teeth, closing his eyes tightly, then taking strides forward, full of fury, stomping away.
Each step he took was heavy, as if he was off to seek revenge.
Nathan had no doubt about Chloe’s importance in his brother’s heart.
He had never seen his brother so furious, his eyes not only filled with anger, but seeming more like a man whose sanity was swallowed up by rage.
That was terrifying.
A chill ran down his spine. Seems like he might live a bit longer.
He opened the door to the hospital room and quietly walked in.
Chloe was leaning on the hospital bed, holding a cup, smiling at him.
Seeing the steam slowly rising from the cup, Nathan couldn’t help but feel a bit jealous.
He sat down on the chair next to the bed, looking at the smiling Chloe.
“You look pretty chill. I nearly got killed because of you!”
Chloe took a sip of water, then glanced at her neatly bandaged knee, and chuckled, “This is just a small injury, not painful.”
If she cared about every bit of pain, she would have been gone by now.
“Ha.” Nathan sneered, then pointed at the ceiling.
“Didn’t you see? In my brother’s eyes, this injury on your knee is like a big hole in the sky!”
Watching Chloe laughing even more, Nathan was speechless.
“See, he cares so much about you.”
Chloe’s smile was undeniable, her happiness lit up the whole room.
She took another sip of water, then slightly squinted her eyes.
“I suddenly remembered what your brother said the first time I met him…”
Nathan leaned back, like he was trying to keep away from dangerous territory.
“What did he say?”
He couldn’t hide his unbearable curiosity!
Chloe’s expression was incredibly sweet, “I once told him that tears are not valuable. But he said, the value of tears depends on who you cry in front of. Some people think it’s worthless, but some people see it as a priceless treasure…”
She paused, looking at her knee, “I think he was right. I feel it deeply now.”
Nathan was left nearly speechless! His insatiable curiosity was once again getting the best of him. He just couldn’t help but ask, even though he knew it would likely lead to trouble.
“Chloe, you’re so cruel! I’m almost dying here and you’re flaunting your love!”
Watching others show off their love was pure torture.
Chloe laughed even harder, “Is this showing off love? I don’t think so. Your brother… he’s really great.”
Nathan covered his forehead in disbelief.
“Don’t celebrate too early!”
Chloe’s smile gradually faded and she looked troubled.
This was a tough nut to crack!
“Knowing my brother cares so much about you, you still deliberately did what you did.”
Chloe raised an eyebrow and guiltily sipped her water, “But I didn’t do anything wrong.”
“Hmph, he’d rather ignore you, and at least he was calm, but now? Just wait, when he finishes dealing with other things, it will be our turn.”
Chloe grinned slightly.
“If you don’t tell him, and I don’t tell him, he’ll definitely not know.”
“Do you think my brother is a fool? I figured it out. Can’t he?”
“What did you figure out?”
“I…”
Nathan was momentarily choked, then snapped back to reality, his eyes wide, angrily said “Stop playing dumb! My brother is smart, he’ll definitely know!”
Chloe pursed her lips, “I don’t know what you’re talking about? Anyway, I got bullied today.”
Nathan’s mouth twitched!
With her intelligence and fighting strength, how could she be bullied?!
“Playing innocent in front of me is useless! I saw with my own eyes that you deliberately took Elsa’s slap! What’s more, I told you about the Harper family and the Larkin family! You… you’re really killing me.”
Nathan was now regretting his loose tongue, why did he tell her all that?
“When did you figure it out?” Since Damon was bound to find out, Chloe didn’t bother pretending anymore.
“What the hell were you thinking? You were clearly the last one to be informed about today’s welcome party, totally clueless about the social circle. What did you do? Why does it feel like you were in control of the whole event?”
Chloe smiled, tilted her head and looked at Nathan, “What did I do? I didn’t do anything, weren’t you there the whole time? Did you see me do anything?”
Nathan was speechless. If he really saw something, would he still need to ask her?
Seeing Nathan’s patience running thin, Chloe finally said, “I really didn’t do anything, I just went with the flow.”
Nathan seemed curious, he leaned closer to her, “What do you mean?”
Chloe sighed, and said,
“Wendy likes your brother, your brother likes me, and Felix likes Wendy… That’s what happened.”
