Let's Start All Over Again, Shall We (Maggie and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 289

Chapter 289 I’ll Take You There

Maggie paused for a moment, understanding Timmothy’s implication.

He wanted her to end things i

Nathael, a request she hadn’t accepted. Rather than convincing her further, he used the explosion and finger to make her face the consequences of her refusal.

Maggie’s heart quivered; her lovely almond eyes brimmed with tears, and the edges of her eyes turned

crimson.

She stared intently at the seemingly harmless man before her while uttering through clenched teeth, “I should’ve ended you on the mountainside just now.”

Timmothy met her gaze with indifference, offering a smile as he remarked, “Practice makes perfect. Perhaps next time, you’ll be more ruthless.”

Maggie averted her eyes. Her hand clenched into a fist on the table as her gaze shifted to the collapsing temple. Though her nails dug into her flesh, she felt no pain.

Bang! A deafening noise rang out.

In an instant, the already crumbling temple collapsed entirely, burying Timmothy and his hired men.

Their comrades outside fled first.

Some assisted each other, drenched in blood while cursing, “Damn, he’s insane!”

Maggie couldn’t resist running towards the temple, and this time, Timmothy raised his hand, signalling Toby to not stop her.

Maggie acted on instinct, plunging into the chaotic rubble.

Meanwhile, Timmothy remained seated, observing her while lost in thought.

“Nathael!” Maggie couldn’t discern the direction and relied on intuition, scouring the area for Nathael’s

form.

“Ethan!”

Tears filled Maggie’s eyes, her voice choked with sobs despite the ongoing explosions.

He’ll be okay, right?

He has to be!

“Nathael? Where are you?” Maggie moved debris around the statue while stepping over ruins, but Nathael remained unseen.

An indescribable panic enveloped her, causing her goosebumps to rise.

A fear from the depths of her soul made her tremble involuntarily.

ruins, but Nathael still could not be found.

“Ms. Adam, there’s another timed explosive here. You should leave!” Ethan wiped blood from his face and spoke gravely.

Maggie ignored his warning. “You were close to Nathael just now. He must be nearby.”

Maggie forced herself to stay composed. She mentally measured the distances, trying to estimate Nathael’s whereabouts.

“He’s around here; he must be close…..

Maggie kneeled on the rubble, mumbling to herself while moving stones and debris.

Soon, her fair fingers were cut by sharp rocks, but she seemed oblivious as she calmly directed Ethan, “Go two meters that way. He might be there.”

Upon hearing this, Ethan refrained from persuading her further and joined others in the search.
