Chapter 258 They Are Indeed Family
Beacher was both angry and amused. “I see it now. So, you were pretending
back then?”
As he spoke, he pinched Janet’s nose and let out a dissatisfied snort, saying, “You dare to lie to Marvin. Believe it or not, I might tell on you!”
Janet blinked and smiled fawningly, “It wasn’t a lie, alright? I was serious. The anesthetic has worn off. It’s just that it was not as serious as what I claimed.”
Beacher did not care how Janet explained. “No way! You need to rest now! Forget about Donahue or Marvin. I won’t agree with that whatsoever! Just focus on getting better, and we’ll talk about everything after you heal.”
Janet had expected that Beacher would not agree with her so easily. Therefore, she decided to change her tactics and play rough. She curled her lips and revealed a malicious smile, saying, “Alright then. I’ll tell Donahue.
“I’ll tell him that you bullied me. You drove Lily away, and I tugged at my wound while moving around. Also, you kept nagging, giving me a headache.”
“Hey! You damn girl!”
Beacher looked at Janet’s crafty eyes and did not know whether to laugh or
cry. She always got him.
He knew very well that Donahue would buy Janet’s words. If so, he would be
the second Nathaniel.
Janet keenly caught the hesitation in Beacher’s eyes. She had been sensible enough when dealing with him, and she knew that it was time to change her tactics again. So, she softened her tone again and said, “Beacher, please! You are the best. You dote on me the most.”

Beacher had no choice, feeling his hands were tied. “Alright… Fine! I promise
you, OK? You know your way around pestering others. You are so
mischievous even when you’re sick.”
Janet was satisfied and smiled heartily.
“But not now. Donahue’s men are out there. Wait till night. I’ll smuggle it in at
night when they’re asleep!” Beacher lowered his voice.
Janet nodded with her eyes narrowed. Of course, it was alright, as long as
she could get her miniature computer. “Alright! Thank you, Beacher!”
The ward was filled with joy, as if spring had arrived. However, Nathaniel and
Donahue were like being in winter, and the atmosphere between them was
very somber.
The two walked out of the ward and went straight to the vacant ward next to
that of Janet.
Nathaniel could feel the cold aura coming from Donahue, and he could even
feel Donahue’s dissatisfaction toward him. For a person like Donahue to
show such emotions, it could be seen how unhappy he was with Nathaniel.
Nathaniel remained calm and collected.
Donahue walked to the window and stopped in his tracks, turning around to size Nathaniel up.
Donahue’s eyes were arrogant, and it looked like he was scrutinizing Nathaniel, which made the latter very unhappy. The muscles on Nathaniel’s body tightened instantly, and he unconsciously cooled down his expression, looking at Nathaniel without any fear.
It seemed that Donahue didn’t notice Nathaniel’s expression change at all. Donahue suddenly withdrew his gaze, smiled, sat down on the sofa, and

waved his hand to invite Nathaniel to sit down. “Let’s talk.”
Donahue’s every movement was elegant and graceful, and it was the natural
dignity and prestige of a superior. Nathaniel sat opposite Donahue with a
cold face.
“Mr. Smedley, I wonder what you want to talk to me about.”
Donahue smiled and looked at Nathaniel with his dark, obscure eyes. After a
long time, he said slowly, “Mr. Webster, this time, I have to thank you for
saving Janet and sending her to the hospital. Logically, the entire Smedley
family should be grateful for your help.”
Although Donahue was thanking him, Nathaniel was very displeased. He
thought, she is my ex–wife. Why are you thanking me? That doesn’t make
sense at all.
