In spite of that, I hoped that he would continue with his folly.

After all, not every mistake can be forgiven.

That night, Nathaniel didn’t come home.

The next day, when I was still in a daze, I was jolted awake by a commotion downstairs.

After adjusting my night robe, I got out of bed. Just when I drew the curtains and wanted to admonishthe new guards, I saw Nick surrounded by the four of them, and they seemed to be in an altercation.

With no time to be bothered about how I looked, I darted downstairs at once.

Just when I passed by the door, one of the subordinates was giving Nathaniel a call. “Mr. Hall, there’ssomeone by the name of Nick Harrison causing trouble here. What should—”

Stopping in my tracks, I snatched the phone away and yelled into it. “This is a family matter. I’ll get himto leave, so don’t get involved!”

Just as I spoke, I ended the call before Nathaniel could reply. After hurling the phone back at thesubordinate, I rushed out to save Nick.

“What are you doing? Let him go! Didn’t you hear me? I order you to let him go!”

When they refused to release him, I jumped in and struck off their hands instead.

As they didn’t dare hurt me, they simply watched as I pulled Nick into the house.

Inside, I could vaguely hear them reporting back to Nathaniel. But, I was already used to it by now.

Inside the living hall, I released my grip on Nick. After exchanging glances, both of us suddenlydescended into silence.

Rose’s funeral was held just a week ago. Given how closely Nathaniel’s men were watching me, I wasunable to attend in person. But from what I could see on the television, the Walker family and Rose’schild looked utterly devastated.

The incident was classified as a suicide attack against society at large because the perpetrator was aninnocent child from one of the poorest regions in the nation.

Nonetheless, I was keenly aware that she had died to save me.

As for Nick, he looked relatively good given the circumstances. In spite of that, no one truly knew howmuch he was suffering underneath the calm exterior. In fact, I didn’t even have the courage toapologize for causing the death of his wife.

Nevertheless, Nick’s experience in the business world helped him read my expressions and decipherwhat was going through my mind.

“Rose doesn’t blame you, really.” His voice was visibly more raspy than before. Despite his steadytone, I could see how he was desperately trying to keep his emotions in check.

The mention of Rose caused me to have a flashback of the incident. I was standing right behind her,staring at the blood soaking all over her body.

Despite her small frame, the flow of blood seemed endless. Recalling the scene alone triggered itsdeathly color to cloud my vision.

Holding that thought, I couldn’t help but feel my nose burn. I then hung my head and choked, “I’msorry.”

Nick suddenly broke out into a faint smile. “Don’t be silly. I’m sure you know how kind Rose is. Shewouldn’t want anyone of us to feel sad for her sake.”

I nodded in agreement. Suddenly, when I realized how persistent he was in barging into here, I lookedup at him warily. “What are you doing here?”

Pursing his lips apologetically, Nick maintained a faint grin. “Don’t worry, Rose was always worried forme even in death. Therefore, I wouldn’t do anything stupid that would cause her to worry. I’m not herefor revenge if that’s what you’re thinking.”

“That’s good.” My fears quickly eased. Even though I knew he needed me by his side, I was alsoworried that he would run into Nathaniel. Hence, I had no choice but to get him to leave. “In that case,you should go now if there’s nothing else. I’m feeling under the weather and need some rest.”

Now that Rose was dead, Nick shouldn’t be involved anymore.

“I’m planning to leave,” Nick promised. He quickly added, “But before that, I need to see Nathaniel. Iknow everything now, including the fact that he was behind this.”

“Didn’t you say that you’re not here for revenge?” I began to feel anxious. “Are you taking me for afool?”

Without any hesitation, I stepped forward to drag him out. “No, just leave. There’s no way you can beathim.”

In the blink of an eye, I was pulled back instead by his solid stance.
