Chapter 159 | Miss You
Because of the anaesthesia, Nathael hadn’t awoken immediately and was transferred to the ICU.
Alex saw Maggie’s call come through but didn’t know how to respond, so he chose not to answer.
After leaving the ICU, Nathael gradually woke up and was finally out of danger.
“Mr. Harris, Ms. Adain has called several times, probably to ask about you, Alex reported, adjusting Nathael’s bed slightly.
Nathael frowned and commanded, “Give me the phone.”
Right then, Maggie’s recent message came in.
Hearing his voice, Maggie’s worried heart finally settled. Her lips pursed slightly, and tears welled up in her
eyes.
“Maggie?” Nathael swallowed, his voice revealing a tinge of anxiety.
Maggie looked down. Maggie hid the tears that were welling–up in her eyes. She grumbled. “I thought you had moved on so quickly!”
Nathael paused, then solemnly replied, “No, there won’t be anyone new.
There was no one in the past and no other woman in the future.
It was always hers.
“So, why were you unreachable for so long?” Maggie wrapped herself in a coat and stepped onto the balcony to continue their conversation.
She didn’t truly blame him; it was just creeping unease and fear that she couldn’t express.
“The adversary created some complications; it took a little extra time,” he explained with a warm voice through the headset. Finding that the sound came from the other end was oddly satisfying.
Maggie remained silent for a long time. Nathael sensed a shift in the atmosphere and instinctively straightened up. “Maggie, are you angry?” he asked.
She wrapped her coat tighter around her and sniffled as she spoke, “Where are you? I’ll come to you.”

She wanted to see him, regardless of the late hour or the distance across the city she might have to endure before setting out alone for the airport.
Despite this, she still wanted to see him and embraced him.
It seemed the only way to calm the panic and unrest within her heart.
Nathael swallowed slightly as He said in a low voice, “I’m not in Misk City.”
Maggie’s footsteps slowed, her gait tinged with disappointment. Was he already gone?
It was a little regrettable.

“I have Nolan drive you in the morning: he’s going back to the country for business anyway. I’ll send him to accompany you, Nathael said gently, with an undertone of coaxing.
Maggie’s mood was naturally soured by the missed encounter.
She carelessly played with the buttons on her clothing and said indifferently, “A man or a woman? Are you that trusting? Aren’t you worried about what might happen when a man and woman are alone together?”
“Maggie Adam!” His temples pulsated with a rhythmic throb as his blood pressure soared.
His tone grew stern, a warning underlying his words. Yet Maggie pursed her lips. She finally conceded and said. “I know; I’ll wait patiently for your return.”
