Chapter 329 They Deserve to Die
With those thoughts, Nathael had a hard time describing the rage boiling in his heart. The urge to kill Sabastian burned in his mind.
He was about to open the door and confront him when Leo beat him to it.
Apparently, Leo had seen what happened, and it left him just as furious.
Without bothering to consider why he was there, the medicine bag in Leo’s hand fell to the ground as he stormed into the room and started fighting with Sabastian.
“What are you doing?” The usually composed teenager, who rarely showed his emotions, was unusually out of control.
Leo charged forward, grabbing Sabastian’s collar and delivering a fierce punch to his face.
Sabastian looked uncharacteristically disheveled. He tried to explain, but ultimately, he said nothing.
Nathael’s face darkened, and he turned and left the scene.
When he went home, he found a way to send Sabastian abroad, and he trapped him there.
It wasn’t until two years later that Sabastian learned of Nathael’s existence.
Maggie noticed Nathael’s rare moment of distraction, and she asked, “What are you thinking about?”
Nathael snapped out of his daze. His gaze settled on hers. “No more drinking when you’re out,” he said. sternly.
Maggie blinked a few times. She pouted her lips and glared at him in disbelief.
What did drinking have to do with anything?
What is this man thinking?
In the face of her silence, Nathael wrapped an arm around her waist, leaning in a bit. He urged with a hoarse voice, “Say something.”
Maggie was annoyed and answered in a grieving voice. “Why should I do that? How come you get to drink?”
Nathael replied, “Then I’ll stop drinking first.
“Don’t!” Maggie almost cried. She had no doubt about his self–discipline, but she still wanted the occasional drink.
“How about… I only drink when you’re around or at home.” Maggie suggested softly, hoping to ease the tension.
Nathael thought about it and eventually agreed.
Maggie let out a small sigh of relief. It appeared that Nathael had been absent ever since meeting Sabastian
When Maggie and Leo received lessons from Kevin and his wife, Sabastian’s rebellious streak often caused trouble. Over time, they realised he had a soft heart despite his tough exterior. He was fiercely protective of her and Leo.
After the father and son fell out and Sabastian went abroad, they lost touch.
He must have had a difficult first two years due to intermittent contact and multiple phone losses.
As they grew older, their connection faded. Their once–close friendship dwindled to simple greetings and fewer topics of conversation.
Maggie leaned her head on Nathael’s shoulder, feeling a wave of sadness when she thought of this.
Time was something frightening. It can turn close friends into strangers, making those who once shared everything have nothing left to say.
What about her and Nathael?
Would there be a day when they became strangers, too?
