Chapter 415: Is Seeing Me So Unhappy?
“Why did you tell me your wicked plan?” Crystal was confused.
“Because I’ve changed my mind.” Nathan turned his face to the window and gave a meaningful smile.
In Crystal’s eyes, his smile was full of sadness.
Crystal stared at him. “So you don’t intend to kill it now, right?”
“Hmm.”
“That means you’re getting mature.”
Crystal was gratified at Nathan’s change.
She smiled, “You’re getting a little bit broad-minded.”
“You’re wrong,” Nathan raised the corner of his lips weirdly, “I’ll always be the jealous and selfish man you’ve known. I can never tolerate my beloved woman carrying another man’s baby.
“Do you think I’m a nuisance?”
With another man’s baby in her belly, it’s unfair to expect Nathan to be generous or even accept the baby. That’s too selfish.
“Nope. I can understand,” Crystal caressed her belly, “but, no matter how much I owe you, it’s a life. You can’t just kill it without discussing it with me.”
“What do you think the outcome of the discussion will be?”
Crystal said nothing in response.
“There won’t be an outcome, will it?”
Getting no answer from Crystal, Nathan pressed her.
“Then why are you willing to accept it now?”
Instead of answering, Nathan twirled a strand of her hair with fingers, greedily sensing her smell.
The doctor put down the device and said to them, “According to my observation, the mother and the fetus are in good health. After five weeks of pregnancy, you can do the B ultrasound.”
“Good. Thanks, doctor,” Crystal said. After the doctor left, Nathan suddenly sat up and clung his ear to Crystal’s belly.
Being a little stunned, Crystal inquired, “What are you doing? It’s only been over a month. You can hear nothing.”
“I know. Hope it looks like you.”
Crystal had never thought of raising this baby. She planned to hand it over to Eric after giving birth to it as a reward for his life-risking kindness. And then, everything between them would be settled.
She had even been thinking of having it aborted before the car accident.
But now, once the idea came out, the scene where Eric lay in the pool of blood, looking at her with dulled eyes, appeared in her mind.
She would never forget the words he had said when he had been in danger: promise me… carry the baby…
Crystal had sworn to him that she could not go back on her promise.
Vic, who’s guarding at the door, kept looking in the direction of the window with a weird expression.
The air in the ward was grave.
All of a sudden, a cell phone rang.
Vic took out the cell phone, looked at Nathan while talking on the phone.
After hanging up the phone, he steps closer to the bed.
“Young Master, your father, called and informed you that he already picked the old Mrs. Bush up,” Vic reported.
Crystal immediately knitted her brows, “What did you say?”
“Isn’t Mrs. Bush’s illness a mental worry?”
“But, didn’t your father refuse to help?”
Crystal stared at Nathan curiously, “Did you let him change his mind?”
Nathan raised the corner of his lips, “Otherwise? Or you can think it’s thanks to your husband.”
The words “your husband” sounded especially harsh when coming from Nathan’s mouth.
Ignoring his sarcasm, Crystal questioned closely, “How did you get your father to agree?”
Crystal remembered that Amos Davis was a more stubborn man than Nathan.
A complication flickered over Nathan’s eyes.
“I’ve got a lot of ways.”
“If there are ways, why don’t you help her earlier?”
“Miss Smith, it’s not that easy, so Master Davis just managed to deal with it after making a lot of effort, Vic couldn’t help helping Nathan out.
“How?”
“You don’t have to worry about this. Hope Amos Davis is really good medicine for your mother-in-law’s illness.”
Nathan lowered his head, gave out a hollow laugh, “Shouldn’t you be happy? A big problem has been solved finally.”
“Mother-in-law?” Crystal repeated with her brows knitted.
She could not tell whether what he had spoken today was sincere or just sarcasm.
“Anyway, thank you.”
Nathan indeed helped her solve a big worry.
“That’s how you always do to me, regarding me as an outsider, keeping a safe distance with me.”
Nathan leaned back on the big pillow and squinted at her.
“Nathan Davis, don’t talk to me in this weird tone, please.”
“Weird tone?”
“You’re not you today.”
Crystal clenched her fists and could not help crushing her nails into her palms to suppress her emotions.
It hurt.
“What the hell happened?!”
“Don’t you like mature men?” Nathan pinched her jaw, “Don’t you always hate my irritability, my narrow-mindedness, my jealousy, and unreasonableness?”
“I just want to leave you a good impression.” He added.
“What good impression?”
His words were like a bolt from the blue for Crystal.
Nathan frowned, arranged his mood, and said, “If I can not grasp the sand, it’s better to let it go.”
“Crystal Smith, if one day Eric dares bully you, just run away,” Nathan looked out of the window, said without emotion.
What does that mean? Is he pushing me to Eric?
Crystal’ brain was totally blank. He always acted like that, suddenly appeared in her life, and suddenly left for no reason.
“You’re clever. You will surely be able to escape,” Nathan said bitterly, as if talking to Crystal, but at the same time as if talking to himself.
In a moment, her eyes grew moist, and her glance drooped to the ground.
She had thought that she would have to escape from him again but had not expected Nathan to be the one to say goodbye first.”
It’s probably a good ending for us; in this way, he won’t have to be hurt one more time...
No! That’s strange.
Nathan Davis would not let go of anything he wanted, and there must be something wrong!
“What happened? Why so abrupt?”
Crystal looked into his eyes.
“People seldom make an abrupt decision. Every decision has its reason.”
There’s a smile on Nathan’s face but coldness in his eyes.
“A person’s heart can change gradually,” Nathan added.
Crystal’ heart seemed to miss a beat. She shook, “Is that because of your stomach trouble?”
“I’m good. Don’t curse me!”
“I’m not cursing you...” I’m just worrying you.
Crystal did not say the latter half.
“Did you hear clearly what I said? Leave yourself a retreat,” Nathan warned her again.
Crystal forced a smile, “How do you know Eric would bully me? What if he’d been nice to me all his life?”
“I hope so. That’s the best.”
He complimented after a pause, “However, I still believe that in this world, except me, no one can give you a lifetime love.”
Nathan looked at her with complicated eyes. They were looking face to face at each other in the bed, but there seemed to be a long-distance between them.
“Crystal Smith, you’ve dumped me many times.”
Nathan was telling the truth.
Crystal parted her lips but did not utter a word.
“Now, I allow you to dump me for the last time.”
Crystal goggled at him, her eyes at this moment were as big and round as grapes.
Unbelievable…
Since the day she had been with Nathan, no matter what had happened, he had never let go. If he had been so free and easy, he and Crystal would not have come this far.
Still, how Nathan acted today was as if doing one thing - saying the last words. “Young Master,” Vic took a look at the watch and reminded him with embarrassment, “Time’s up.”
As though waking up from a dream, Nathan sighed with emotion, “Time really flies.”
With astonishment, Crystal looked at him with confusion.
“Where are you going?”
Instead of giving a direct answer, Nathan pinched her cheeks.
“Why are you putting up such a long face? Is seeing me so unhappy?”
“Nathan...” The doubts weighed heavily on Crystal’s mind, she wanted to figure things out, but she suddenly lost her tongue.
