Chapter 500
Natalie couldn’t help but laugh. “Herbert, you’ve been learning for years and still haven’t gotten it. Maybe you should just give up. You can wait on the shore, and I’ll catch fish for you. Just tell me what kind you want.”
“The deep-sea grouper is the best. Next spring, I’ll take you out for a trip.”
Natalie knew he desperately wanted to go, but he was timid.
When he was learning to drive, he failed his road test three times and only passed on the fourth try. He could hold a scalpel, but he couldn’t seem to handle a steering wheel.
In the end, she was the one who helped him calm his nerves enough to pass.
“Hehe… that would be great, but I still want to dive myself. Anyway, I’ll let you rest. Get well soon.”
He turned and saw lan standing stock-still. This kid was in better shape than him, taller, with an intimidating presence. Herbert said, “lan, you stay here and keep Natalie company. Help her out if she needs water or food.”
lan nodded. “Okay.”
After Herbert left, lan went to pour Natalie a glass of water.
“Have some water.”
Natalie smiled. “Ian, there’s a straw in the nightstand drawer. Can you get it for me? It’s easier for me to drink with a straw.”
“Sure.” Ian found a straw in the drawer, unwrapped it, and put it in the glass.
He held the cup for her, and Natalie turned her head to take a few sips, soothing her dry throat.
“That’s enough, thank you.”
Natalie smiled as she looked at his handsome face.
He said angrily, “I saw the news. The man who hit you was so arrogant.”
Natalie was quite surprised. How did this end up on the news?
She asked, “lan, did they say who hit me online?”
“It was a young master of the Spencer family, Maxwell.” Ian had also seen the enline comments, where netizens had dug up
Maxwell’s identity.
Natalie understood immediately. Maxwell’s father had always coveted control of the Spencer family. It was no accident. When she had saved the matriarch from near death, she had interfered with the plans of the second branch of the family.

That was why Maxwell had targeted her.
It seemed Maxwell had been following her, and today had given him the perfect opportunity.
Seeing lan’s anger, she smiled to
comfort him. “Ian, I’m fine, so dome
worry we have some private issues between us. It will be resolved soon enough.”
“Natalie.” Marshall’s worried voice came from the doorway.
lan looked at the impossibly handsome Marshall, a dark glint in his eyes. This guy
had the face of a stunningly attractive young man.
Marshall noticed lan as well and was taken aback. “Natalie,” he asked in surprise, “how come you have another pretty boy hanging around?”
He made her sound like some kind of player.
“What are you talking about? This is my friend, lan.”
“Oh… your friend? I didn’t know you had a friend like this. He’s way too handsome.”
Marshall frowned, not liking this boy who was almost as handsome as him. It made him feel threatened.
There was a natural rivalry between men.
Natalie was always surrounded by exceptionally good-looking men.
Natalie smiled, glancing at lan’s innocent face. He was indeed very handsome.
She asked Marshall, “Did you come here because you saw the news?”
