Jewel stepped aside and let them in. However, Kate was puzzled. She remembered that there were people living on the 58th floor.
Eugene is willing to do anything for Olivia, Kate thought to herself. The man had actually driven the original residents away just to give Oliviaâs friend a place to stay. In spite of that, Olivia, the heartless woman, still suspected if he really fancied her or not.
Comparison really makes my life seem depressing! Kate exclaimed inwardly.
Kate entered through the door and surveyed the surroundings before she asked, âYou know that Olivia is at the hospital, do you?â Jewel met her gaze and nodded, which aroused Kateâs suspicion. Why is this girl not speaking?
However, Kate dropped her curiosity and stated, âIâm here to tell you that both North and Olivia are fine, but they probably have to stay in the hospital for a few more days. Thereâs no need to worry about them.â
Jewel nodded in understanding and took out her phone to type. âDo you know which hospital they are admitted to?â âYou canât speak?â Kate glanced at Jewel in astonishment, to which the latter nodded.
Kate mumbled to herself, âNo wonder Olivia insisted on us making a trip here.â Then, she said, âHow about this-we will be heading over to the hospital shortly. Iâm here to get some clothes for Olivia. If you want to go and visit her, you can come along with us. Just wait for a while; Nathan can take you back here when he returns.â
Jewel nodded in delight. Kate continued, âWould you like to wait for us here or follow us to Oliviaâs place to get some stuff?â
Jewel typed her reply on her phone. âIâll follow you guys. Kate nodded and responded, âSure. You can get ready and weâll leave then!â
In response, Jewel put on a jacket and gestured to Kate that she was ready to leave, which surprised Kate as she didnât expect Jewelâs preparation to leave the house would be so simple-unlike Kate, who had to wear makeup and change her clothes to ensure that she appeared fashionable in public. âAlright. Letâs go!â Kate said with a chuckle..
The few of them then headed over to Oliviaâs place and placed two sets of clothing into a bag before departing. However, when they arrived at the basement carpark, five or six men dressed in black suddenly popped up from the corner and charged at them without uttering a word.
To be precise, they were charging at Nathan. Nathan, whose right hand was still in a cast, instinctively used his left hand to resist, but another man in black lunged himself at him.
Kateâs head went blank. Is Oliviaâs suspicion correct? she thought. At the same time, she quickly stepped forward, pulled Nathan over and stood between him and the men. As they slowly pulled back, she asked, âWho are you guys? What do you want?â
The man, who failed to capture Nathan, instantly wore a ferocious expression and snarled, âThis has nothing to do with you! We just want him to come with us. If you insist on going against us, donât blame us for doing this the rough way.â
Kate narrowed her eyes at that. She would be lying if she said that she wasnât terrified at that moment, but she couldnât allow the men to grab Nathan. âWhatâs the purpose of all this? Donât you know who he is?â
The man impatiently snapped, âIf we donât know his identity, why would we capture him?â Then, he extended his arm to shove Kate aside. âDo you have a death wish?!â
It was a rare occasion to see Kate protecting Nathan, and it gave the latter a feeling that he hadnât experienced for a long time.
However, he knew that he shouldnât put her at risk because of him. And so, he grabbed her by her hand and shouted at the gang of men, âDonât touch her! Iâll go with you guys!â
Upon hearing that, Kate was so mad that she wished that she could strangle Nathan. âAre you insane? You donât know what they are going to do and yet, you are willing to go with them?â
Nathan smiled. âBut I canât hide behind you and see you risk your safety for me!â The gang of men exchanged glances with one another, shocked by the sudden affectionate air around them. One of the men stepped forward to push Kate aside but before his hand even landed on her, his wrist was caught by someone.
