Nathan declared, "I can earn my own fortune. The woman I marry can't just be drawn to my success. She has to love me even when I'm at rock bottom."
With unwavering confidence, Nathalie replied, "Nathan, you'll never hit rock bottom."
Years down the line, Nathan would indeed be at the pinnacle of success, admired by all. How could someone like him ever falter?
Nathan gazed deeply into Nathalie's eyes. "Nathalie, I've actually been at my lowest before."
Nathalie looked at him, utterly surprised. His youthful eyes sparkled like stars, untouched by the world's harshness. She chuckled, "Nathan, everyone has their rough patches."
To her, Nathan was at the age where life's true sorrows hadn't yet revealed themselves. But then, Nathan's tone turned somber. "It was really bad."
His face suddenly reflected a profound loneliness and desolation. Nathalie felt a sharp pang in her heart, the pain resonating throughout her being. She reached out and clasped Nathan's hand. "Nathan, that's all in the past now."
"Nathalie, can you ever let Cameron and Greta be part of your past?" His voice was barely a whisper.
Nathalie was stunned. The pain Cameron and Greta inflicted was unimaginable. They stole her kidney, deceived her, and even plotted against her beloved daughter's life, pushing her to the brink of despair. Their betrayal ran deep.
What could Nathan, at such a young age, possibly have gone through to harbor a grudge as deep as hers? Or was he inherently unforgiving and relentless?
Nathalie sighed. "Nathan, living with hatred is painful, and I don't want you to have a life like mine."
