Chapter 176
Andres nodded and said, “Since you’re fine, I’ll leave first”
After saying that, Andres left without looking back, not at all as anxious as he had just come here.
“Andres must be jealous of thinking that you’re sick because of that man,” said Marie, knowing well what
made him uncomfortable.
Iliana lowered her head and muttered, “Why is he jealous?”
Marie poked Iliana’s head and said, “Don’t tell me you can’t see what’s on Andres’ mind. We all see it clearly.”
Iliana shook her head and said, “No, who Andres likes is Nataly.”
“If he really likes Nataly, why did he throw her at the banquet and come to the hospital as soon as he heard
that you were sick?” asked Marie.
Iliana lowered her head and said nothing. After a long time, Marie said, “Well, it’s getting late. Go to bed. III
stay here with you.”
Iliana was worried that no one would accompany her, and she fell asleep with Marie here.
As soon as Andres walked out of the ward, his cell phone rang. Nataly called and said in a feeble voice,
“Andres, my car was hit on the road… Can you take me to the hospital?”
Terrified, Andres immediately drove back and saw Nataly’s car hit the railing on the side of the road. There
was still blood on her forehead. As soon as she saw Andres, she fainted.
Andres took Nataly to Gavin’s place. Gavin gave her a simple check and said, “It’s okay. Just a bit wounded.
Take some medicine and rest for a while.”
Only then did Andres feel relieved. Nataly lay on the hospital bed and fell asleep, but she grabbed his hand tightly. Andres could only stay with her in the ward.
Nataly initially wanted to pretend to be sick, but she was afraid that Andres would not come over if she and
Iliana were sick at the same time, so she simply crashed the car into the railing and received some injuries to
make it more realistic.
Anyway, Nataly had already hit her head, so she called Dennis first and said that she had a car accident.
Before she could finish her sentence, Dennis interrupted her, “Go to the insurance company for the car.
accident. You can call an ambulance by yourself when you’re sober. I’m busy.”
Then he hung up the phone. Since Nataly had angered Dennis last time, he was no longer as nice to her as
before, as if he was eager to draw a line with her immediately.
Nataly had no choice but to call Andres. Sure enough, he came without saying a word.
She knew that Andres still had her in his heart, and she would always be there. No one could take him away from her!
The next day, when Marie went through the discharge procedures for Iliana and took her out of the hospital,
she ran into Andres, who was helping Nataly to take the elevator.
Get Borigt
With a smile on her face, Nataly leaned half of her body against Andres and said, “Andres, thank you for accompanying me all night. I really don’t know what to do without you.”
“Be careful next time you drive. Fortunately, it’s nothing serious this time.” Although Andres was scolding her,
the concern in his tone could not be hidden.
Iliana thought that Andres was angry with her last night, so he left without saying a word. It turned out that
something happened to Nataly and he was busy looking for her.
Iliana smiled bitterly and looked at Marie. “Do you still think Andres likes me now?”
When Marie helped Iliana into the elevator, Andres was stunned for a moment when he saw them. He
subconsciously tried to move his hand away, but Nataly held his arm tightly.
Marie glared at Andres and said nothing. What a mess is this?
Andres had pestered her all day long about Iliana, and it was not easy for Marie to say a few good words to
him, and Andres immediately slapped her in the face.
“Iliana, I…” Andres was about to explain something.
Iliana interrupted him, “Good morning, Mr. Robert.”
Her manner had reverted to the one in which they had first met, courteous and distant.
Like a victorious rooster, Nataly leaned against Andres and said in a soft voice, “Andres, I’m dizzy. Buy me
some seafood porridge from Friendship Street later.”
With that, Nataly raised her eyebrows and glanced at Marie and Iliana. They were just two arrogant vixens, and they still wanted to steal her man?
Iliana kept her head down without saying a word, as if she couldn’t see the intimate look of Nataly and
Andres at all.
With a snort, Marie said, “Ms. Carmen, if you’re dizzy, go back and sleep more. Besides, you can’t eat seafood
if you have wounds. Do you have any common sense?”
Nataly’s face turned sullen. She was just randomly saying that to piss them off. How could she think so
much about it?
When the elevator arrived on the first floor, Marie helped Iliana get into the car and left. Andres hurriedly sent
Nataly home like a deflated ball. He didn’t buy any seafood porridge at all.
After Iliana got settled, Marie went back to the studio to deal with work.
