Chapter 234

“Is there no other way at all?” Nathan asked.
“There is a way. We can repair the damaged nerves through surgery and allow the memory to
gradually recover.
“But the risk is too great, and if something goes wrong, the patient could be left in a vegetative state.
It’s not worth the risk if her current condition doesn’t affect her life,” the doctor explained.
Concerned, Suzanne asked, “Which doctor in our country is trusted to perform this surgery?”
Before the doctor could answer, Nathan interrupted, “We’re not doing.
it.”
“Why?” Suzanne turned to him. There was at least a chance that the surgery would restore her
memory, despite the risks.
Nathan held her hand and rose to thank the three neurologists. After that, he led Suzanne out of the
hospital.
Once in the car, they were both lost in ought as they gazed at the landscape outside with heavy hearts.
They finally reached Sudvilla. Just as Suzanne was about to get out he car, Nathan said gently, “Go
home first. There is something I e to take care of. I’ll be back when it’s done.”
“All right,” Suzanne said and got out of the car.
She waved as she watched Nathan’s car slowly leave Sudvilla. She wondered if he would be gone for
days this time, as he had been
before.
She hated to see him go, but she quickly pulled herself together and
went into the villa.
Half an hour later, Nathan’s car pulled up in front of the entrance to Hoffis Manor. He got out of the car
and took off his watch as he walked toward the mansion. Cole hurriedly followed.
In the living room, Sally jumped to her feet in excitement at the sight of Nathan. She rushed up to him.
“Nate-”
Cole was quick to react. He intercepted her immediately. Nathan gave Sally a cold look and asked
nonchalantly, “Where’s Oliver?”
Confused, Sally replied, “Uncle Oliver’s upstairs. What’s going on?”
“Get him over here.”
Sally noticed the grim look on his face. She hurriedly ordered the housekeeper to call Oliver down.
Two minutes later, Oliver made his way leisurely down the stairs. With a smile on his suave face, he
adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses and said, “What an honored guest we have.”
Nathan slowly approached the stairway.
With a pleasant smile, Oliver walked toward Nathan and asked, “What brings you here so urgently?”
s he finished speaking, Nathan threw a violent punch at him. crumpled to the ground. Blood trickled
from the corner of his outh. He was on his knees in a dazed and confused state.
T
Sally covered her mouth in horror. Her face grew pale. The housekeeper witnessed it and reached for
her phone to call the police, but Cole warned her with a pointed finger, “Don’t interfere.”
The housekeeper swallowed hard. She bowed her head apologetically and stepped back.
Oliver touched the blood at the corner of his mouth. Before he could get to his feet, Nathan grabbed his
tie and pulled him up violently.
Nathan then rammed his knee into Oliver’s abdomen with all his
might. Oliver groaned in pain.
The next moment, Nathan delivered a hard punch to his face. Oliver was knocked to the ground. He
clutched at his body in agony. He lacked the strength to even stand up.
Sally ran to Oliver and held him up. She yelled at Nathan, “Nate, have you lost your mind? Why did you
hit Uncle Oliver? You almost killed him!”
Nathan walked over and roughly shoved Sally aside. He crouched
down with one hand on his thigh and the other gripping Oliver’s collar. He pulled Oliver closer. In a
threatening tone, Nathan emphasized each word as he said, “Oliver, I’m sparing your life for now, but it
won’t be for long.”
