Chapter 1116 A Pity
Bastien narrowed his eyes as he stared at the hospital exit. I just wanted to keep her company and take care of her
since she was injured. Why does the Sutton family think I’m going to do her harm? Jerome and his father are worse.
One disobeyed me while the other threatened me.
Joseph, whose face was bruised, staggered over to Bastien’s side. “Prince Jonathan, they’ve left.” “Let’s go,
Joseph,” Bastien said calmly, although his eyes were cold. “Okay.”
Right then, Bastien raised the corners of his lips into a smirk. Will I only get what I want when I take over my
father’s position? If that’s the case… I’ve got to go all out, then.
Meanwhile, at the Sutton residence, Patricia studied Natalie, who was asleep on the bed. She could not help but feel
sorry for her.

had to endure so much suffering in Loang.”
While Patricia paced around, she suddenly thought of something and pounded Jerome on the shoulder a few times.
“Jerome Sutton! You rascal! What have you been doing all these years in the army? How could you have failed to
protect Natalie? Your years of training have gone to waste!”
Jerome only endured the beating in silence, which only left Patricia feeling more enraged.
Daniel let out a sigh and said, “That’s enough, Patricia. Stop finding fault with him. He truly wanted to protect her,
but there are some things he can’t decide with his rank. If I didn’t show up today, your son might not be able to
bring Natalie back.”
Patricia was surprised by the news. “How come?” “Let’s talk outside and let Natalie rest here.” Jerome and Patricia
nodded and followed Daniel out of the guest room.
The moment they stepped into the living room, Patricia could not hold back anymore. She asked, “You two better
explain everything to me today. What’s going on? What do you mean, Jerome can’t decide with his rank?”
Daniel crossed his arms and rested them on the walking stick. “Why don’t you explain this, Jerome? What exactly is
going on?”
Jerome recounted the kidnapping and the incident at the dock to her parents. “That’s everything that happened.”
As soon as Patricia found out Jerome had been hiding in the corner when Natalie was attacked by Zophie, she
picked up her house slipper and threw it at him. “How could you do this to her when she treated you so well in the
past? Have you forgotten what you promised me? Is this what you mean by protecting her?”
However, throwing the slipper did not help with venting her anger. Just as she was about to throw the ashtray,
Daniel stopped her. “That was not what he wanted. He received orders from Bastien.” “Prince Jonathan?”
Daniel nodded. “Yes. If Jerome had taken action, it might have brought harm to Natalie and ruined the jade key as

Patricia knitted her brows. “What the heck? How is he a prince? Is he even a man? How could he let a woman be in
such danger?”
Daniel knew how hot-tempered his wife could be. He patted her shoulder and assured her, “Patricia, I’m sure
Bastien has considered things carefully before making that decision. And based on my observation, his feelings
toward Natalie are rather obvious.”
Patricia was perplexed. “Feelings? What feelings?”
Jerome pursed his lips without saying anything. Daniel sighed heavily. “What else? The feeling a man has for a
woman!” “What?”
A frown crept up between Daniel’s brows as he explained, “The royal hospital is not a place any ordinary person
can enter. Yet, Bastien brought her there to be treated. Besides, Jerome had made it clear that he wanted to bring
Natalie away, but Bastien did not give in until I brought up the king. See? He has such deep feelings for her.”
