Chapter 439: Do I Look Sick?
Chapter 439: Do I Look Sick?
Crystal felt hurt, “There are still two months. He can prepare the wedding while receiving treatment or postpone the wedding. Why should he rush at this time? Is this wedding more important than his life?”
Mabel shook her head, “I don’t know either…”
Suddenly, there was a stiff silence in the air. Only the sound of the violin could be heard.
Mabel looked at Crystal with doubts in her eyes, “Mrs. Bush, I know you and Nathan had a relationship before.”
“It’s all over. I am someone else’s wife now.” Crystal stroked the ring in her hand.
“But at the manor before…” Mabel’s eyes flashed. Crystal had a husband at the time, but she had still been so intimate with Nathan.
Mabel was not a fool. She could see how much Nathan cared about Crystal. When they looked at each other, they couldn’t hold others in their eyes. She completely became a background...
“You don’t believe me?”
“Do you think I will lie to you about such a big thing?”
“I suddenly feel a little uncomfortable, I need to go to the bathroom.”
“Fine.”
“Can you wait for me here?” Mabel said nervously, “Please, I have a lot to ask you.”
Crystal hesitated for a moment and said, “Okay, I’ll wait for you.”
Seeing Mabel leaving in a hurry, Crystal took back the notebook and looked at the dense notes she had made.
Crystal thought in her heart, “Nathan, I can help you here...”
Mabel walked into the cubicle and took out her cell phone to call Marcos.
“Marcos, I have something significant that Nathan must come over and confirm in person....”
“Please, he probably won’t answer if I call him, let alone come over.”
“Well, about the matter... I can’t tell you until I confirm it.”
“He cares about nothing except for the wedding? That’s why I am calling you to help me, Marcos….”

“Mrs. Bush, what are you thinking about? You look so happy.”
Crystal was startled. She did wonder again. “To be honest, I know nothing about Nathan except for loving him...” Mabel asked curiously, “Can you tell me more about him?”
“I don’t know much either.”
“Then how did you meet each other?”
“...” Crystal smiled bitterly. How did he and she meet? Even though she probably didn’t know where to start.
“Then tell me something about Mr. Bush.” Mabel looked at the time on the phone and shifted the subjects smartly.
The violin was playing lightly, and the two women chatted casually.
More than half an hour later, a cold air current suddenly struck.
Crystal's fingers holding the coffee cup stiffened. The moment she turned her head, her eyes met Nathan’s gaze.
Crystal looked dazed, thinking this was also an illusion she had imagined. She thought she would never be able to see him again in her life...
Nathan walked in from the door. The waiters on both sides saluted towards him, followed by Vic and bodyguards.
He took off his oversized sunglasses. He only glanced at her and then turned his gaze away. She saw something flashing through his eyes very fast.
The cold breath forced…
Mabel greeted him immediately, stood in front of him, and said something.
Crystal laughed at herself, even though her imagination was so real now?
She actually saw Nathan wearing NC brown leather shoes-the pair given by Mabel.
“I met Mrs. Bush by chance, so I invited her to have a cup of coffee here. Then I unexpectedly heard some news about your body. Nathan, I am sorry to ask my brother to trick you into coming here and verifying, are you mad at me?”
Mabel was very brilliant. She knew that if Crystal were not here, it would be difficult for her to communicate normally with Nathan.
So she hurriedly called Nathan over at this time-then she could tell the truth from the interaction between Nathan and Crystal.
Nathan squinted his eyes, “What news?”
“She said your body has a problem. Is this true?”
Nathan narrowed his eyes slightly. “What’s the problem?”
“Gastric cancer, she also said that it will become terminal if you don’t get treatment.
You have to... die...”
Nathan naturally stretched out to hold Mabel’s waist and walked to the coffee table.
Vic pulled away from the chair....
After Nathan sat down, he naturally placed Mabel on his lap.
Mabel was flattered and allowed him to hold her small hand with his big hand, placing it on her waist.
She was so happy to be held by him like this.
Until this moment, Crystal started to know that all this in front of her was not her own imagination, but the truth.
She looked at him openly, from up to down, then from down to up.
His hair was a bit longer, but he was in good spirits. His face was clean. He was neatly dressed, and he didn’t become thinner. What made her more relieved was that he didn’t have a smell of alcohol.
Finally, her gaze fell on the wedding ring on his ring finger. Crystal slowly hooked up a cold smile.
“Mrs. Bush.” In a low and thick voice, Nathan suddenly said, “If you still spread rumors everywhere, do you know what the consequences will be?”
“Mr. Davis, you have gastric cancer. But you even hide it from your fiancée, isn’t it inappropriate?”
Nathan sneered, “Since you know that I’m going to get married, why don’t you go away?”
“...”
“You want to scare my bride away and ruin my wedding?”
“...”
“Do you really think that I have feelings for you?” Nathan said cruelly, “You are just a second-hand good. It’s barely okay to be my toy. Oh, don’t forget to send my regards to Master Bush, is he okay? Does he know that his wife is a wanton? Can’t he wake up to take care of you?”
Each word was filled with cruelty so that other people could understand that he didn’t have any feelings for Crystal, only his disgust after playing with her.
Crystal understood that he was acting for Mabel, just to keep her from knowing it?
No woman would want to become a widow after getting married.
However, Mabel said that her dream was to marry Nathan. If she knew, she would definitely persuade him to receive treatment.
“Mr. Davis, actually, you don’t need to worry about that. I don’t mean to ruin your wedding. I just did some research on gastric cancer recently and summarized some things that I found useful…”
Crystal closed the notebook. “I just want to share these with Miss Garcia, nothing else. If you misunderstand me, I have to say sorry.”
“Well, I think that Mrs. Bush does so out of kindness.” Mabel said softly, “Nathan, if you are really sick, you must receive the treatment. The wedding can be postponed, and I can wait.”
“The wedding will not be postponed, I am not sick!”
“But...”
“Do I look sick?” Nathan pinched her chin, “Are you blaming me for not ‘serving’ you well last night?”
Mabel flushed.
Last night? Serving? When had she been with Nathan?
Crystal's face suddenly turned pale.
“If you keep thinking nonsense in your little head, I’ll let you see tonight if I am sick or not!”
“Nathan...”
Crystal picked up the coffee cup and forced herself to calm down. “Mr. Davis, if you think I want to ruin your wedding and be with you, then you are wrong. I have completely given you up.”
Give him up...
The three words, like a knife, cut Nathan’s heart.
He pretended to play with Mabel’s hair indifferently.
