When There Is Nothing Left But Love novel (Ashton and Scarlett ) novel Chapter 1743

“Well, that can’t be the case. I’ve got self-consciousness and knew that I don’t have that much sway when I’m just someone of no consequence.” I regarded Nathaniel placidly.

A fleeting smile flashed across his eyes. He then shifted sideways and made a path for me. “Get in.”

He spoke in a matter-of-fact tone, seemingly all too sure that I wouldn’t dare decline.

However, I simply wanted to irritate him. “I’m sorry, but I’m very busy now. I’ve got no time to play your twisted games with you.”

After saying that, I strode away. I initially thought that he would hound me relentlessly, but he unexpectedly made no move to stop me. He merely stood there and watched me leave without a single word. Even when I had climbed into the Fuller family’s car, he didn’t come over.

“What exactly is his motive?” I couldn’t help griping, with the car window separating us.

The car had started moving, but he still had no intention of leaving.

While I was waiting for his next move with my eyes narrowed, he lowered his head and snickered for some reason. In the next second, he spun around and strode toward the hospital lobby.

At that instant, I lost control of my body.

“Stop!” I roared, urging the chauffeur to stop the car. Getting out of the car at lightning speed, I sprinted toward Nathaniel as though I had lost my mind. Before he could enter the hospital, I blocked his path, holding my arms wide open.

Nathaniel’s gaze brimmed with amusement as though he was looking at his favorite toy. As our gazes locked, stark fear enveloped me.

“I’ll put my life on the line and kill you if you make a move against John again!” I had no idea where my courage came from. All I knew was that I had to say something to stop him from getting anywhere near the person closest to me.

At that, the mirth in his eyes intensified. He looked down at me with the gaze of a victor. The look in his eyes made it clear that he was an experienced hound, while I was merely a newly weaned puppy. A threat from the weak was only a clown fooling around, so it posed no danger to him.

Anyhow, I’ve got nothing other than this life of mine! This is all I have. Even if it’s futile, I’ll still try and give it my all!

“Why would I want your life?” Nathaniel schooled his expression, his voice turning a tad indifferent that his emotions were indiscernible. “Can we leave now?”
