Nathan’s face darkened as he seethed with anger.
“Revealing other people’s past scandals, digging into their
weaknesses, and mocking them to their face-Is that how you should
behave?”
“But I was just speculating that her attempted murder might be connected to her past relationships.”
Furious, Nathan berated her in an icy tone. “You could’ve just said so instead of giving a lengthy
dissertation no one asked for.”
Sally pouted. “Nate, I know I was wrong. I didn’t mean it. I spoke. without thinking. Please don’t be
angry.
Bullshit. It was clear she intentionally said all that to personally
attack Suzanne.
Nathan grabbed her arm, continuing to walk out of the field hospital while instructing, “I’ll have
someone escort you home. Don’t com back again.”
Sally struggled to pull her hand away, saying, “Nate, I’m not leavi just got here, and I want to stay with
you.”
“I don’t need your company.”
“Nate, let go of me. I’m not leaving!” Sally was rudely dragged aw her struggle was futile.
The next moment, Sally burst into tears, shocking the patrolling soldiers outside. Unable to break free,
she angrily asked, “Nate, d you like Suzanne?”
Nathan paused in his tracks, his whole body freezing as if he had
been struck by lightning. His heart stilled with slight panic and
confusion.
Amid his absent-mindedness, Sally broke free from his grip. She took
a few steps back, wiped away her tears, and accused, “Nate, how could you do this to me?”
Nathan glared at Sally, impatiently asking, “What are you talking about?”
With teary eyes, Sally choked out her words, “Since childhood, we both had feelings for each other. We
didn’t have to say anything, it was all tacit understanding. Although you never confessed your love to
me, I’ve kept myself pure for you for 25 years-rejecting hundreds of good men.
“And you? Just because of Grandma, you forced yourself to marry al notorious woman. Now you’re
telling me that you’ve fallen for her? She may appear innocent and lovely, gentle and intelligent, but it’s
all part of her scheme!
“Nate, have you ever thought about how she lured her ex-boyfriends? They were all like you-deceived
by her appearance and the vario pretenses she put on. My uncle was one of them. But realizing her

Nathan felt a stabbing pain in his chest; he couldn’t bear to listen a longer. Feeling his anger rising, he
gritted his teeth and asked, “A you done?”
Wiping away her tears, Sally continued speaking through sobs. “Nat why do you think I always attack
Suzanne in such an uncouth manner? It’s all for you. This is the only way I can help, hoping yo won’t
sink deeper into her lies.”

She added, “I’m afraid that you’ll be deceived by her-financially, romantically, and emotionally. In the
end, you’ll be the one hurt.”
Nathan didn’t understand why he was feeling so miserable at her words. A sense of helplessness
overwhelmed him.
“I haven’t fallen for Suzanne, nor will I be enchanted by her. I certainly won’t be deceived either. Go
back; don’t cause me any more trouble
here.”
Before he could stop her, Sally sneakily ran toward the dormitory building.
She yelled as she ran away, “I’ll immediately go and reflect on myself. I won’t step out of my room
unless necessary, so as to not cause trouble for you!”
Nathan watched her fleeing back, feeling the onslaught of a splitting headache caused by extreme
irritation.
