NovelEnglishChapter 640 Nathalie stood a little ahead, waiting for Nathan to catch up. Her face was lit up with a smile, pure and content. "What's on your mind? You look so happy," Nathan asked gently.
Nathalie replied, "Nathan, you know, the last tI saw my dad, I felt really sorry for him. He was born with a silver spoon, and then, just like that, he found himself with nothing. How could he cto terms with such a drastic change?" "But now, I kind of envy him. My grandpa left him quite a bit. Even though Regan didn't manage it well, there's a saying, 'a skinny camel is still bigger than a horse.' By selling off those assets, my dad can still have a comfortable retirement." "He had Grandpa looking out for him, you know? He's pretty lucky." Nathan nodded, "If your dad could wake up, I bet what he'd value more than those old assets would be you, his daughter. You're the real joy in his life." Nathalie found it hard to believe she meant so much to her father. Clearly, she said, "Not everyone is like you, always puttingfirst." Nathan's expression dimmed a bit.

The car waiting for Nathan and Nathalie was parked right at the entrance of the Stewart family estate. Dominick was in the driver's seat, waving Nathan over. "Sir, over here." Nathan and Nathalie walked toward him.
Just then, danger crept in silently.
A gun, dark as night, was aimed at Nathan.
But with Nathalie walking so closely beside as im, their bodies intertwine sey moved, the gunman get a clear shot.
Growing impatient, hidden from view, the hitman replayed his boss's words: His heart's on the right, not the left like most. You've got to hit it dead-on. It has to be a perfect shot, no room for error." "If he makes it out alive, we're all doomed." "Killing him won't get you in trouble. Just go for it." The gunman watched Nathan like a hawk. As Nathan and Nathalie reached the car, Nathan politely opened the door for her.
The target was now unobstructed.

The hitman grinned wickedly, squeezing the trigger. The bullet sliced through the air. Nathan was leaning against the glass, saying goodbye to Nathalie, when the bullet hit his back, went through his chest, and struck the bulletproof glass with a loud bang. Nathalie let out a gut-wrenching scream.
She saw the dark hole in Nathan's right side where pink "blood" was seeping out, and his face paled.
"Nathalie, don't look. Please," Nathan, even now, wanted to keep his grace and dignity intact in front of her. Nathalie's eyes shook, and she trembled all over.
Her mind went blank.
She could only murmur, "Nathan, please, hang on. Don't letleave you, letstay with you." "Please." She pushed the car door open, catching him in her arms as he began to collapse.
