Chapter 434: Take It Easy
Chapter 434: Take It Easy
“But, you’re pregnant. You can't fly during this period,” Nancy worried. “I’ve got some pills from the doctor. It’ll be fine.”
Crystal went back to her bedroom, took a picture of the done scarf, and posted it to Instagram.
These days, she keeps recording her daily life on Instagram. Scarf Weaving, cooking, the information of gastric cancer that she concluded...
She somehow had the feeling that Nathan would see the posts.
After posting the photo, she stared at the computer screen for a while before starting the final packing.
In Garcia’s Manor.
Marcos picked his ear with a finger while listening to the gunshots that sounded in the shooting range.
“Master Davis, you’re not yourself lately.”
“What a low hit ratio!” Marcos ridiculed.
Nathan, who had always hit the bull’s eye, made frequent mistakes lately. Marcos put away his cell phone, asked Nathan mysteriously, “Aren’t you curious who just called me?”
“Not at all!”
“It’s about Miss Smith.”
Nathan dropped the empty gun and picked up another one.
Seeing Nathan have no response, Marcos said, “She’s going to your father’s manor today.”
Nathan’s hands suddenly stiffened, coldness filled the bottom of his eyes.
“She even eggs my fiancée on not to marry me just because I can’t find you,” Marcos picked up a bullet shell on the ground and continued, “you really created great difficulty for me this time.”
Yes, Nathan didn’t leave at all.
As soon as he had found the software, he had left the mobile to a bodyguard and created the illusion that he had left Houston.
He had thought that Crystal would have given up knowing he had gone. But the fact was the opposite.
Crystal had inquired about his whereabouts every day and done a lot for him, and Nathan had known everything via Marcos.
“You can’t even handle the simplest emotional problems, how can I rest assured to entrust my sister to you?” Marcos squinted fiercely, added, “It seems I need to reconsider the wedding of you two.”
Nathan sneered, “Do you have the qualification to consider it?”
“If your father knows you have cancer, do you think he would sit back?” Marcos fiddled with the bullet shell in his hand.
“He will definitely become suspicious and then see through our plan. At that time, you cannot live up to your promise, but also the Garcia family will be involved. The risk is great.”
“Do you want to go back on your words at this time?”
Marcos didn’t answer the question; instead, he said, “I have an idea.”
“Shoot!” Nathan said impatiently.
“Kill her or lock her up until everything is over.”
Nathan tightly held the gun, pulled the trigger again.
This time, the bullet directly hit the bull’s eye.
“The first proposal is just a joke, take it easy,” Marcos said casually, “I know you must not be reluctant to do that. How about locking her up?”
Crystal was currently in high spirits. Locking her up could only force her to make fiercer movements. Besides, in that case, she would know Nathan was still nearby.
Crystal was carrying luggage downstairs, not yet out of the door, but was stopped by the servant.
“Miss Smith, I just got the order from the young master. From today on, you must not leave the manor.”
“Why?” Crystal frowned.
“It’s for your safety, and pregnant women should not run around,” the servant explained without emotion.
Crystal chilled all over. She had just told Marcos about her leaving, and she was grounded in the twinkling of an eye.
If it were not for Nathan’s request, how would Marcos mind her business?
In anger, Crystal dropped the suitcase on the ground with force, “Nathan Davis, where are you? Come on out!”
“I know you can see me!”
“Miss Smith, your call,” at this time, a servant came over with a wireless telephone receiver.
Crystal took it over with doubt.
The moment she answered the phone, Nathan’s voice sounded immediately, “Give me two months, I’ll explain everything to you.”
“Nathan? Why? Why two months?”
“I have something to deal with yet,” said Nathan.
“But, you know, you can’t delay the treatment any longer, or it’ll become an advanced period…”
“I told you to give me another two months. Can’t you just listen to me once?”
“What is more important than your life?”
“If the operation fails, I will lose my only chance.”
“It won’t fail, as long as...”
“Come on, Crystal. Who do you think you are? You can’t dominate everything, and you can’t ensure any operation.” Nathan replied grimly, “For me, it is all death whether I can live one day more or less. I can only lie down and wait for death in the hospital! Why should I waste my time?!”
Nathan believed that he would die.
Crystal persuaded, “I have read many relevant books these days. Modern medicine is so advanced, aren’t you very powerful? Can’t you find the best doctor? Nathan, as long as we try hard...”
“You are enough. It’s a matter of possibility, not relevant to how hard we try.”
“Tell me what I should do...”
“You never cared about my life before, so from now on, you don’t need to intervene either.” He replied ruthlessly.
“You really have to treat me like this?”
“Yes.”
“...”
“Crystal, I don’t need you now, just leave me alone.”
Crystal breathed hard. She could only hear the beeping along with her ears.
If it were in the past, how could she stand this? She must have left before he refused.
Crystal smiled miserably. She was not confident enough to believe that Nathan would always love her, nor was she sure if he did not want to treat the illness, so he deliberately alienated her...
She only knew that she could leave at will if he were not sick. But now, she couldn’t leave him alone.
Crystal found out Nathan’s phone number and stored it on her own cell phone.
She started calling him, but he didn’t answer, so she called again and again.
Half an hour passed, she kept repeating an action, but the only response to her was the same ringtone.
“Miss Smith, don’t stand here, why not take a rest on the sofa?”
Crystal then came back to reality. Yeah, she had been standing for so long that her legs were numb.
Crystal felt that her body was weightless when she was walking...
She curled up on the sofa, hugging herself, and wondered what she was sticking to.
Nathan didn’t even care about his own life. Why on earth did she bother him so stubbornly? Tears wet her eyelashes. She picked up a book randomly and flipped through it. After turning a few pages, she couldn’t go in at all. Then she stood up and walked into the kitchen.
After a long time, several servants gathered around the kitchen entrance.
Crystal had been busy in the kitchen for seven or eight hours, during which she had broken some plates, cut her fingers, and continuously made scary noises... But there was no response at all, no matter who had called her.
Not until the following day, Crystal dished up the last dish and put it in the lunch box.
Looking at the ten-story lunch box, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
“Give this to your young master when he comes back today.”
The servants looked at each other. No one knew what she meant.
“Just give it to him. He will know.”
Crystal thought for a while, pushed them aside, went upstairs, picked up the scarf she knitted personally, and went downstairs again.
“I also knit this scarf for him. Please ask your young master to give it to him.”
After doing all this, Crystal finally felt relieved, while her body also began to feel exhausted.
She later realized that she felt hungry and asked the servant to heat the food for her. Then she sat alone at the vast table to eat.
In the evening, she lay in bed and couldn’t help picking up the book about knitting again. This time, she wanted to knit a sweater for him.
As she was knitting, she thought of their past. Sometimes she couldn’t help but raise the corner of her mouth and smile gently.
Sometimes before the smile on the corner of her mouth stiffened, the tears fell down first…
She missed him badly; however, she couldn’t do anything but shed tears.
