Chapter 1115
Once ogoin, Jerome's response exceeded Joseph's expectotions.
Joseph did not expect Jerome to treot Notolie the some woy Bostien did.
Notolie is the perfect exomple of âwomen ore nothing but trouble.â
Hoving lost his potience, Joseph soid in onnoyonce, âMojor Generol Sutton, pleose think wisely before
you do onything. Are you sure you wont to be ot loggerheods with Prince Jonothon over this person?â
Jerome could not be bothered to woste his breoth on Joseph.
He shoved Joseph's orm owoy ond stormed toword the royol lounge.
Seeing thot, Joseph lounched on ottock by swinging his left fist into Jerome's foce.
Jerome ovoided it swiftly ond countered with punches foster thon Joseph's ottock, which mode it
difficult for Joseph to dodge. The gusts of wind thot followed the punches left his foce feeling sore.
Jerome did not eorn his militory ronk by pulling strings.
Joseph knew his combot prowess wos no motch for Jerome. Even so, he hod no choice but to bite the
bullet ond continue fighting.
Jerome hod olreody mode up his mind ond could not be bothered by his militory ronk. He ottocked
Joseph viciously, wonting to defeot the lotter using the shortest omount of time.
Just when Joseph wos olmost losing, Bostien stepped out of the word ond opprooched Jerome.
Once again, Jerome's response exceeded Joseph's expectations.
Joseph did not expect Jerome to treat Natalie the same way Bastien did.
Natalie is the perfect example of âwomen are nothing but trouble.â
Having lost his patience, Joseph said in annoyance, âMajor General Sutton, please think wisely before
you do anything. Are you sure you want to be at loggerheads with Prince Jonathan over this person?â
Jerome could not be bothered to waste his breath on Joseph.
He shoved Joseph's arm away and stormed toward the royal lounge.
Seeing that, Joseph launched an attack by swinging his left fist into Jerome's face.
Jerome avoided it swiftly and countered with punches faster than Joseph's attack, which made it
difficult for Joseph to dodge. The gusts of wind that followed the punches left his face feeling sore.
Jerome did not earn his military rank by pulling strings.
Joseph knew his combat prowess was no match for Jerome. Even so, he had no choice but to bite the
bullet and continue fighting.
Jerome had already made up his mind and could not be bothered by his military rank. He attacked
Joseph viciously, wanting to defeat the latter using the shortest amount of time.
Just when Joseph was almost losing, Bastien stepped out of the ward and approached Jerome.
âWhat are you doing, Jerome?â asked Bastien while gesturing for Joseph to stop.
Panting slightly, Jerome answered, âReturn Natalie to me.â
In an unhurried manner, Bastien said, âShe's getting treated. She needs to recuperate to let her wound
and broken bones heal. Where are you planning to take her to? What other place in Yaleview has
better medical facilities than this hospital?â
âI'm aware that Natalie's severely injured, but you don't have to worry about it. My family is acquainted
with a well-known doctor. Once I take her with me, I'm going to provide her with the best treatment.â
Bastien's eyes immediately glinted with hostility. âJerome, do you really want to offend me because of
this?â
Jerome did not seem to be afraid. âOffend is a wrong choice of word. Natalie is my childhood friend,
and I've let her down at the dock just now. Since I've promised to send her home, I'll make sure to
deliver it. If not, I'm not worthy of being an ordinary person, let alone a major general.â
Jerome knew he and Natalie could never become lovers.
Hence, he had done his best to fulfill his role as her friend. Though he could not harbor any feelings for
her, he would never betray her.
Bastien's eyes darkened. âWhat if I say no?â
âThen I'llââ Before Jerome could even finish, an elderly voice rang out.
âThen my son and I will do everything in our power to take her away.â The voice belonged to Jerome's
father, Daniel. He was leaning on his walking stick and glaring at Bastien. âThat lady is a daughter of a
family friend. Surely it isn't a problem for an elder of the Sutton family to take her away? You, on the
other hand, don't have a deep relationship with her. If you insist on keeping her, you'll make me upset.
Please think wisely of what His Majesty will think of you.â
Daniel was steady and reserved, but his words held great power.
He made the Sutton family's stance clear and threatened Bastien at the same time.
It moved Jerome to see his father getting involved.
âFather...â
Ignoring his son, Daniel continued speaking to Bastien. âPrince Jonathan, this child has suffered a lot.
My wife and I will take good care of her.â
With that, he ordered his men to proceed with Natalie's discharge procedure.
Bastien pursed his lips and remained silent, exuding an aura that got more hostile by the second. Alas,
he could only watch the father and son take Natalie away.
