The smile on Freddy’s face deepened, his tone gentle. “You’re recovering beautifully. And please, don’t be a stranger with me. If you keep thanking me like this, I’m going to get upset.”

Nathalie offered him a soft smile, her clear, expressive eyes bright and glowing.

Freddy gazed at her warmly. “You look so beautiful when you smile like that, Nathalie. The first time I saw you, it felt like there was this dark storm cloud hanging over you. It broke my

heart to see.”

Lance’s icy, unbothered voice cut through the moment. “You sure seem to have a lot of free time on your hands, Freddy, having enough energy to feel heartbroken over another man’s wife.”

Freddy’s expression cooled as he looked over at Lance. “If the person closest to her doesn’t cherish her, then naturally, someone else is going to step in to do it.”

Lance let out a sharp scoff. “Are you hiding under other people’s beds? How the hell do you know if she isn’t cherished?”

Realizing they were about to tear into each other again, Nathalie abruptly stood up. “Go.”

She forced the single word out with absolute authority.

Lance immediately stood up, his tone instantly softening. “I’m right beside you, Nat.”

Freddy rose as well, asking, “What are your plans for the rest of the day, Nathalie? I’m completely free. Wherever you need to go, I can drive you.”

Lance replied coldly, “We have plenty of cars at home. We wouldn’t dare treat you like our chauffeur.”

Freddy kept his tone mild. “Driving myself around feels far more freeing and much less suffocating. Nathalie has such a free, vibrant spirit-I’m sure she hates feeling trapped, right?”

Nathalie just stared.

Elara was absolutely vibrating with excitement. It was a damn tragedy there were no snacks around. If she had known this was going to happen, she would have asked the waiter for a bowl of peanuts.

Brilliant!

Absolutely brilliant!

Watching two grown men viciously tear each other apart over a woman was pure, unadulterated entertainment.

But Nathalie was completely out of patience. She waved her phone at Freddy, signaling that she would text him later, before grabbing Lance’s arm and dragging him right out of The Regent’s Hall.

Seeing this, Elara hurriedly scrambled after them. But as she rushed past Freddy, she discreetly gave him a subtle thumbs-up and whispered, “Keep pushing! I’m totally rooting for you!”

Freddy gave a faint smile, watching them leave before pushing his glasses up the bridge of his nose.

A moment later, his phone buzzed. He pulled it out to see a text from Nathalie.

Nathalie: [I’m so sorry, Freddy. We’re going to head back first.]

Freddy: [It’s perfectly fine. Just remember you still owe me dinner.]

Nathalie: [Don’t worry, I won’t forget.]

Freddy: [Dr. Adler told me there is a very real chance Lance’s eyes will recover. You don’t need to carry such a heavy burden anymore.]

Nathalie: [I know.]

Freddy: [Go take care of your things. Remember to reach out to me if you ever need anything. Don’t be a stranger.]

Nathalie: [I will.]

The atmosphere inside the car was thick and suffocating. Since Nathalie wasn’t texting anyone anymore, Lance’s dark, brooding voice finally broke the silence. “Nat, he has ulterior

motives.”

Nathalie turned to glare at him, her brows knitting together as she furiously typed. “Can you stop being so completely unreasonable? The man just helped you, and you’re saying he has ulterior mot

Lance pressed his

thin lips into a tight line. “He only helped me so he could steal you away from me. That makes his motives ulterior.”

Elara couldn’t hold back anymore. “Nathalie is an independent person. Whoever she chooses is entirely up to her. Even if you two are technically married right now, she isn’t your property. She belongs to herself.”

Lance turned his head in her direction. Even with the thick layers of white gauze covering his eyes, she could feel the sheer, predatory weight of his glare.

Elara’s eye twitched violently. She suddenly remembered that twenty million dollars.
