Chapter 44 Maggie Receives A Gift Today
“No, we don’t use it for… Maggie blushed intensely and couldn’t help but try to explain.
This old man lacks respect for the elderly. What kind of inappropriate thoughts are running through his mind?
Maggie felt both embarrassed and annoyed. It wasn’t her fault for reacting slowly. It was simply because she lacked experience and had never considered that possibility.
To her surprise, the old man didn’t wait for her to finish and interrupted with a laugh, “Is he not performing well? It’s okay. We still have some miraculous tonics to nourish the kidneys! Guaranteed to make him vigorous and full of vitality!”
Nathael was stunned.
“No need.” Nathael said with a stern face and an icy expression.
Perhaps the intimidating aura emanating from him was cold and deep, radiating an aura that warned strangers to keep their distance. The old man, who had initially intended to enthusiastically promote the products, shook his head and sighed.
However, Maggie felt a bit tempted. She tugged at Nathael’s sleeve and whispered, “Don’t be too shy to see a doctor.
“Say that again,” Nathael said calmly, almost suspecting that there was a problem with his ears.
Thinking of the rumors about Nathael’s performance, Maggie put on a serious face and earnestly suggested, “Uh… Mr. Harris, do you want to give it a try?”
“Try what?” Nathael narrowed his eyes, and a dangerous glint filled them, chilling and intimidating.
Maggie instinctively craned her neck, nervously laughing. “Uhm… that…?”
Maggie didn’t finish her sentence.
Because in the next moment, Nathael pinched her chin, his gaze dark and unclear. “Ms. Adam, do you want to give it a try? Huh?”
Maggie was stunned for a few seconds. “Try… try what?”
Those were things meant for men. How could she try them?
Wait a minute, what was he talking about?
The next moment, Maggie reacted, pursed her red lips, and couldn’t help but think: You can’t even do it, so what’s there to try?
Indeed, he was avoiding seeking medical help!
Maggie thought that if there was a chance, she must persuade him to go to the hospital for a proper check- up. With early treatment, there could be a chance for improvement.

Maggie smiled gently, looking understanding. “Don’t be sad. I understand everything.”
Feeling willing but powerless is truly the most disheartening thing.
Nathael chuckled, and the pressure in his hand increased slightly. He said coldly, “Maggie, do you know what you’re saying?”
“Uhm. Mr. Harris, I forgot to tell you something.”
Maggie decided to drop the matter and didn’t plan to continue with this topic.
“Tell me,” Nathael said slowly, wondering what was going on in her mind.
Maggie blinked her clear eyes and said seriously, “Actually, I have two personalities. The one just now…
wasn’t me.
Nathael was dumbfounded.
Do I look easily fooled?
After returning home, Maggie finally enjoyed the hand–brewed coffee Nathael made. It had a rich and mellow flavor, preserving the original aroma of the coffee beans.
After Nathael tidied up, he turned to see the woman on the sofa, sitting with her knees bent, holding a mug in her hands. She was squinting her eyes, savoring the coffee. Her relaxed and contented appearance resembled that of a proud and timid cat, retracting its claws, obedient yet carefree.
“Tilt your head.”
He found the medicine kit and applied some ointment on the bruise on her neck.
After a few minutes, the bruised area was treated, and Nathael’s movements slowed. Hie her as he asked again, “Are you sure you don’t want to say who did it?”
