Chapter 173
It was a bitterly cold night in late autumn.
Nathan curled up in the narrow iron window, and in that moment, his once proud and lofty heart finally
experienced helplessness and loneliness.
He stared blankly at the bright moon outside the window. The person who had always compared himself to the
moon began to question himself at this moment. Am I really as pure and bright as the moon?
“Hello.” A prisoner approached. He threw a hard pancake at him and said, “I noticed that you haven't had lunch
or dinner. Are you hungry? | secretly saved a pancake for you.”
Nathan suddenly felt extremely hungry, with his stomach growling. He glanced at the steamed pancake lying on
the ground, and a hint of disgust was revealed in his eyes.
Does he deserve to eat something so dirty?
The prisoner saw that he was being ignored and turned around and walked away.
Twas passing, but Nathan's hunger was growing stronger and stronger. The weakness caused by low blood
sugar felt like a chain reaction. Suddenly, he felt a sense of panic.
It felt terrible.
They gradually eroded Nathan's willpower.

Finally, Nathan picked up the bread from the ground and stuffed it into his mouth, taking big bites. The coarse
food that was usually hard to swallow now tasted incredibly sweet to him.
“Hehe, didn’t you say you won't eat it?”
“It was not quite delicious yet.”
“The once prestigious scion, just like a beggar, had to eat dirty things picked up from the ground when he was
extremely hungry.”
“What a disgrace. Like a dog.”
Laughter suddenly erupted from all around.
They were like countless slaps hitting Nathan's face, and instantly his face turned red and hot. His heart,
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇthowever, felt as if it had fallen into an icy cave, making him shiver with cold.
He was like those beggars sitting on the sky bridge at that moment, being mocked by onlookers.
A figure walked over and sat down next to Nathan.
Nathan looked at him, he was the person who provided him with food.
Nathan thought he was kind, and he showed his gentle side without any defenses.
Little did anyone know, the man suddenly slapped Nathan's face, as if he were patting a pet dog, and said to him
in a strange and ambiguous tone, “How does it feel, Young Master Hill?”

Nathan just found out that today’s play was directed by him.
“Are you mocking me?” Nathan becangry and embarrassed.
The man laughed heartily and said, “I gave you steamed pancake to eat so that you wouldn't starve to death.
You should be grateful to me.”
Nathan's face turned pale. “Were you clearly mocking me?”
The man said, “Did | deceive you? Oh, | just dropped the bread that | gave you on the ground. | made you eat
leftovers. But Mr. Nanthan, I still saved you, | am your benefactor. You should be grateful toinstead of holding
resentment towards me, your benefactor. Isn't that right?”
Nathan's pupils trembled, and he felt a sense of familiarity in the words spoken by this person.
“How will Mr. Nanthan repay me, his benefactor? Oh, my heart is not in good condition. What if Mr. Nanthan
transplants his heart to me? | believe Mr. Nanthan is a wise and understanding person who surely knows the
principle of gratitude. Surely, Mr. Nanthan wouldn't refuse to givehis heart, would he?”
The other party spoke so bluntly that Nathan could not fail to hear it, he was mocking him for seeking favors in
return.
However, faced with the other party's mockery, Nathan was powerless to fight back.
The favor he owed to Isabella eventually cost her a kidney. He used to think nothing of it, but now, being mocked
by others, he finally realizes how unethical his past actions were.

He was so embarrassed that he wanted to crawl into a crack in the ground and hide.
The man withdrew the mocking gaze and just looked pitifully at him, saying, “Mr. Nanthan, | was just joking with
you. How could a pancake really require your heart? Then | would beca evil tyrant. As for the matter of
giving you the pancake today, you don’t have to thank me. It was your ex-wife who entrustedto take good
care of you.”
Nathan's pupils dilated...
Shocked, unbelievable.
Thea was like a ghost, always following him like a shadow.
Why can’t she just let him go? Clearly, she has caused him to beclike this. Why doesn’t she give up?
The man said again, “Ah, speaking of which, your ex-wife is really something. She made a bet with you, saying
that when she was young, she used to beg on the bridge. But she wouldn't eat the food others dropped on the
ground, nor would she pick up the money others dropped. She went hungry for two days and two nights before a
kind-hearted person brought her a bowl of hot rice. She bet that you couldn't last two days. | originally thought
she underestimated you, but | didn’t expect her guess to be right. You couldn't even last a day and ended up
picking up bread from the ground to eat. Clearly, you lost to her.”
Upon hearing this, Nathan's handsface contorted in an indescribable expression, as if he had just eaten a
pile of shit.
The man patted his shoulder and clicked his tongue, saying, “A grown man, losing to a little girl. How
embarrassing.”

Nathan's face looked even worse
He pulled out the steamed pancake stuffed in his mouth and, at that moment, found that it tasted like chewing
wax.
The man stood up and said, “There was my urine in the steamed pancake.”
Nathan felt nauseous and wanted to vomit. He desperately retched, trying to throw up all the bread he had
eaten.
At that moment, his face turned pale and red alternately. His neck becthicker, and he looked completely
disheveled.
“Haha,” the man laughed mockingly at him, “Your ex-wife said you were born into a wealthy family and never
experienced the harsh realities of society, always looking down on others. She askedto teach you a lesson
on how to be a decent person.”
Laughter erupted all around.
“The children from wealthy families were just born with the ability to choose their reincarnations, that’s all. She’s
just a weakling. We are even better than her.”

“This kind of man, apart from being good-looking, is a complete idiot.”
The sound grew fainter and fainter, and Nathan collapsed on the ground in a disheveled state.
A hot tear welled up in the corner of the eye and slid down the cheek.
Nathan touched it, feeling his fingers wet, realizing that he had actually shed tears. He was startled in his heart.

The shhe experienced today could actually defeat his strong and resolute spirit.
Nathan seemed to have sunderstanding of Thea’s intention in arranging this scene.
He had also once mocked Thea like this, mocking her for being born in the slums and begging on the bridge.
Only today did he realize that his casual mockery could cause such great harm to others.
Nathan finally agreed to confront his relationship with Thea. He used to look down on her, considering himself
superior to her. Now he realizes that his so-called superiority was merely a superficial illusion bestowed upon
him by his privileged upbringing.
Without the protection of his original family, he was not even as good as Thea.
She had more integrity than her.
In the early hours of the morning, it started to rain.
Nathan was cold and hungry, looking desperately out of the iron. window.
A sleepless night.
“Thea, why did you hateso much?”
“How far do you want to burnwith your anger before you stop?”
The frustration and stubbornness in Nathan's eyes eventually turned into intense confusion. He couldn't wait to

“Nathan.”
The staff suddenly shouted at the door, “Your family has bailed you out. You can go out now.”
Nathan let out a heavy sigh of relief.
