Chapter 1375 Lexie’s Lawsuit
When Halma saw Nathan, her lips naturally curved into a smile, her eyes shining brightly. Although he had a cold expression, he inexplicably gave her a sense of reassurance.
Back when they were together, she always felt like something was missing and knew the problem was with her. Perhaps it was because she could not move on from the incident with Melanie, or perhaps, they had become accustomed to their previous way of interacting. No matter how one looked at it, they did not seem to be in a romantic relationship.
However, she understood him better and realized he cared about her after this incident; she had confidence in him. She would naturally act cute, be stubborn, throw tantrums, and even act unreasonable, and he would just indulge, pamper, and coax her. It was a feeling they had never experienced during their previous time together. It was a feeling of being in love!
Nathan walked a few steps and stood before Halma, looking at her nervously. “Are you okay?”
She was speechless. What can happen to me in this hospital, especially when Olivia is here? However, she knew he was just worried about her, so she obediently responded, “I’m fine.”
Yet, Finley felt that the situation had become even more difficult. He had wanted to handle Halma quickly while Nathan was away, but he did not expect him to return so soon!
It seemed that there was no room for maneuvering in this matter. The lady is right. If my daughter has a criminal record, not to mention marrying into a prestigious family, it will be difficult for her to find a match even in an ordinary household.
Suddenly, sadness overwhelmed him, and his voice took on a tinge of sorrow. “Nathan, Lexie knows she was wrong. It was just a momentary impulse. Please forgive her for once, considering the good relationship between our families. Her life will be ruined if she ends up in jail. I’m begging you. Please don’t do this.”
He was about to kneel as he spoke.
Nathan bent down and, with an expressionless face, helped him up. “You don’t have to do this. You love your daughter, and I love my girlfriend. She faced this undeserved calamity because of me, and I am so guilty, wishing I could bear it for her. If it was me whom your daughter harmed, perhaps I could overlook it for the sake of our family’s relationship. But since she harmed my girl, there is no room for negotiation. Otherwise, I would feel guilty.”
His voice was calm, without any deliberate emphasis, but the underlying emotions of his concern and self-blame were apparent in his words. How could someone like Nathan not take it seriously? He let out a sigh and walked away, feeling helpless.
With solid evidence and the unbeatable top-notch lawyers of the Nolan Group, it was almost certain that they would lose the lawsuit. However, settling the matter privately was no longer an option now. Finley could only find a lawyer to reduce his daughter’s sentence since avoiding prison was impossible.
In the end, it was he who had caused harm to his daughter.
