Chapter 522: Chapter 523

Chapter 523 Thea followed Nathan into the bedroom.

In the bedroom, there hung a wedding photo of Nathan and Isabella, with both of them gazing affectionately at each other. The gentle and passionate look in Nathan’s eyes was something Thea had never seen before.

She stared at the photo, lost in thought... The photo of Nathan gave her an illusion, as if he had once loved her deeply, deeply.

At that moment, Nathan suddenly let out a cry. Thea immediately turned her head and saw Nathan clutching his chest, his face contorted in pain, curled up on the ground groaning.

Nathan’s mother heard the Nathan in such a miserabl。und and rushed in, seeing and quickly dialed 120.

painful state, she was scared The ambulance arrived quickly. Amidst the chaos, Thea took the opportunity to sneak around in various corners of the Hill Manor.

She wanted to find some clues that could help her retrieve her memories.

But she entered the wrong room and accidentally barged into Nathan’s father’s study. Luckily, she was in stealth mode and Nathan’s father didn’t notice her.

She heard Nathan’s father urgently shouting into the Chapter 523 288 iVouchers microphone, “Nathan is in trouble, I have to accompany him to the hospital. I don’t have time to go home. Darling, you don’t have to wait for me today.”

“But today is my birthday. I could accommodate you at any other time, but today you must come and accompany me. Honey, if you don’t come, then I will jump off the building to show you. I want to know, who is more important to you, your son or me.”

“Be good, don’t make a fuss.”

“I didn’t make a scene. I have been with you for so many years, and you can neither give me a status nor be by my side. Can you justify yourself to me?”

“I know I let you down. In the next life, I will definitely make it up to you.”

“Whoever wants the next life, I want this life. If you don’t come, just wait to collect my corpse.”

The other party hung up the phone.

Nathan’s father rubbed his forehead in pain, sighed, and resignedly picked up the car keys before heading downstairs.

Thea felt that the Hill Manor was very lively at the moment, so` she followed along to see what was happening.

Nathan’s father made an excuse to the disheveled Nathan’s mother, “Darling, there’s suddenly a situation at the company, and I need to go for a while. Nathan will be in your care.”

Nathan’s mother, however, was not one to be taken lightly, “You are not allowed to go. Our son’s life is uncertain, and yet 12.98%

Chapter 523 you are still concerned about your job?”

1288 Vouchers Nathan’s father’s face instantly changed, “Son, it’s not as serious as you say. It was just that his daughter–in–law died, causing him temporary physical discomfort due to excessive grief. Don’t exaggerate.”

Nathan’s father left with a cold face after he finished speaking.

Nathan’s mother went crazy behind him, saying, “If you dare to take a step out of this house, you will not be allowed to come back in the future.”

Nathan’s father did not answer her; instead, his footsteps became even lighter.

Nathan was taken to the hospital for examination, and soon the doctor sent over the conclusion.

Mr. Nathan suffered from premature aging. There was no available prescription to address this condition temporarily. The only option was to slow down the progression of the disease through treatment.

Nathan’s mother sat down on the bench upon hearing the words, her whole body stiff as if wearing a rigid corset, and her face was terrifyingly frozen. Her lips moved, but she couldn’t say anything.

“Premature aging?” Thea muttered the dreadful name of the disease, feeling an inexplicable annoyance in her heart.

“How could it be premature aging?” Nathan’s mother asked the doctor.

Chapter 523 288 Vouchers The doctor patiently explained, “It is possible that Mr. Hill became overwhelmed with grief after his wife’s death, so his body started showing abnormalities.”

Thea, “...”

Did he really love her that much?

Thea drifted into Nathan’s ward, only to find that Victoria had already arrived at some point. She was dressed in an exquisite outfit, deliberately adorning herself, appearing elegant and luxurious.

“Nathan, what’s wrong with you?” Victoria asked with great concern.

Nathan lamented with a heavy heart, “Bella has left, and Kassidy has also left. What meaning is there for me to live?”

Victoria suddenly reached out and grabbed Nathan’s hand. “She’s gone, but you’re still alive. You have to think about your mother and father. You can’t give up on yourself.”

Victoria seemed to gather her courage and said, “Nathan, in this world, it’s not only Isabella who loved you. I love you too.

Isabella is gone, but you still have me, right?”

Nathan suddenly pushed her roughly, saying, “Victoria, please have some self–respect. Although we were once in love, since I married Isabella, I will only be devoted to her.”

Nathan’s mother burst in suddenly and intervened forcefully, saying, “Nathan, you have now developed premature aging, and the doctor says you will soon lose your ability to take care of yourself. Victoria doesn’t mind you, she is willing to marry you, that is your good fortune. You cannot refuse her. Are you 42.55%

Nathan’s mother’s words were truly offensive.

Nathan’s lips moved slightly, and he let out a sigh in the end.

“Mother, don’t worry, even if I couldn’t take care of myself in life, I would never burden you.”

“You speak nicely,” Nathan’s mother walked over and placed Nathan and Victoria’s hands together, “I can only feel at ease when you two are together.”

Nathan broke free from Victoria’s mother’s control and said, “Mother, please give your son a little dignity.”

Nathan’s mother suddenly went crazy, “You have no shame, no self–respect. Don’t I deserve any? Look at what happened to you today. Did your father even come to see you for a moment?”

“I told you, your father had long abandoned your mother. He had another family outside. Mom had wanted to confront him long ago, but for the sake of your career, I have been enduring the humiliation and living a life of compromise.”

Nathan’s mother said, crying uncontrollably, “But do you know how I got through it? I was going crazy.”

Nathan’s face turned pale, and after this blow, his hair started graying at a visible speed. The wrinkles at the corners of his eyes were clearly visible.

Chapter 523 Thea covered her mouth, feeling sympathetic towards Nathan’s plight at that moment.

288 iVouchers Nathan, a grown man, reluctantly succumbed to the harsh reality and said, “I’m sorry, Mom. I promised you that I would marry Victoria.”

Nathan’s mother felt relieved.

“Nathan, that’s right. With Victoria taking care of you, Mom can relax.”

Nathan’s mother stumbled out of Nathan’s hospital room.

There were only Nathan and Victoria left in the ward.

Nathan looked deeply apologetic at Victoria and said, “Victoria, my condition would only burden you.”

Victoria said with red eyes, “Nathan, you cured my illness. Now that you are sick, it’s my turn to take care of you.”

Victoria was half kneeling on the ground, saying, “Nathan, marry me.”

“Victoria, you should know that my heart only belongs to Bella. I didn’t love you. It was unfair for you to marry me.”

Victoria said, “Nathan, I am not upset. I really am not upset.”

After speaking, Victoria unexpectedly leaned forward and offered her lips.

Nathan stepped back and unexpectedly slapped Victoria across the face with his hand. Nathan was clearly angry and said with a hint of annoyance, “Victoria, Bella was your sister. She hasn’t even been laid to rest, and yet you’re seducing her 74.47%

1288 Vouchers Victoria cried in humiliation. “I just loved you too much. Nathan, I have always loved you. Even after you married Isabella, I couldn’t forget about you.”

Nathan was shocked.

Seemingly realizing something, his fist suddenly clenched, “Victoria, I have only one question for you, does Bella know about this?”

Victoria stammered, “My love for you was so passionate, her sensitive nature. How could one not feel it?”

Nathan went crazy in an instant, pushing Victoria away. “Every time you accompany me on business trips with such honesty, every time you pretend to be righteous and send food to Kassidy... Do you know it only worsens her illness?”

Nathan, with red eyes, pointed at Victoria and roared, “I treated you like a sister–in–law, yet you had such wicked thoughts towards me. Did you kill my Bella?”

Nathan broke down and cried, “I thought you coming to my house would make Bella happier. Turns out, I have been inviting trouble.”
