Chapter 867
He was probably overthinking it.
Wendy spoke her mind, clearly defining right from wrong, taking the whole context into account; her argument was
solid. Everyone agreed with her, acknowledging her sense of morality.
However, Elsa’s face was getting more and more sour.
“Why didn’t you tell me earlier?!”
Wendy’s face twitched a bit, and she could only shake her head helplessly, let out a sigh, and didn’t say anything
else.
The others watching weren’t pleased with Elsa’s attitude.
“Wendy tried to stop you from the start, but you couldn’t control your temper, and now you blame her?”
Everyone spoke their mind, and Wendy, feeling exhausted, quietly said, “Enough already. Felix, take Elsa to the
hospital. She’s a public figure, and luckily, those present today are all friends. I believe this won’t leak out.”
“I’m not going to the hospital!”
Elsa, who had been in a daze, suddenly yelled out.
Nathan had just taken Chloe to the hospital. If she followed now, wouldn’t she be walking into a trap?
She got up from the ground, grabbed Felix’s arm, and pleaded, “Honey, I don’t want to go to the hospital. Can you
take me home?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtFelix didn’t look too pleased. Even if Chloe wasn’t manipulative, Damon surely wouldn’t let this slide.
“Are you sure you want to go home now instead of apologizing?”
Felix frowned, his annoyed and disgusted look showing on his face. How could he have maintained a pleasant face
with Elsa after the mess she’d caused?
Elsa, pale as a ghost, shook her head, “No, I want to go home first.”
Felix squinted at her, and eventually decided to go with her wishes and took her home.
Nathan helped Chloe into the car, apologized, and then closed the car door and got into the driver’s seat.
Chloe was surprised at Nathan’s apology. It was unexpected. The usually frivolous Nathan was being serious today.
His demeanor at the banquet was quite impressive, fitting for someone of his status. But today, his mood seemed a
bit off.
Chloe buckled her seatbelt and noticed Nathan was already on the phone with Damon.
He looked stern, “We’re on our way to the hospital, Chloe’s hurt.”
After he hung up, he started the car and drove straight to the hospital.
Chloe, covering her bruised face with her hand, looked at Nathan. Seeing Nathan so serious, she asked, “What’s up
with you today? Why so serious?”
At her words, Nathan raised an eyebrow, glanced at her, and after a pause, said, “I’m on my deathbed. I should try
to be
serious.”
That was more like the Nathan she knew!
Chloe chuckled, “You’re being dramatic. He wouldn’t really kill you.”
“You’re pretty blunt. You might as well say he’d just cripple me.”
Chloe pursed her lips and didn’t respond.
After his call with Nathan, Damon’s face darkened. His sudden mood change filled the room with a cold
atmosphere. He clenched his phone, stood up abruptly, and his tall figure seemed even more imposing.
Presley frowned at him, “What are you doing?”
Damon, expressionless, glanced at Presley, buttoned up his uniform, and left without a word.
Presley shivered at the sight of Damon’s cold gaze for the first time in his life.
The Alonso family members present looked a bit put out by Damon’s rudeness, but seeing Presley’s difficulty, they
didn’t pursue it.
The hospital was closest to the hotel, but as soon as Nathan brought Chloe in for examination, the door was
suddenly opened from the outside.
Chloe was fixing her dress, just exposing her knee, when she heard the noise and turned to see the noble figure at
the door. “My God! That was quick!” Nathan couldn’t help exclaiming, feeling the urge to disappear on the spot.
Damon’s gaze fell on Chloe’s surprised face as soon as the door opened. The clear slap mark on her tender cheek
made Damon’s eyes sharpen instantly. Then his gaze moved to her knee. The bloodstains on her calf filled Damon’s
dark eyes
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmwith rage.
Everyone in the examination room shuddered, completely forgetting what they were doing. But soon, they saw the
man who had just been raging suddenly put away all his anger, walked into the examination room, closed the door,
and slowly walked to Chloe’s side.
He glanced at the nurse beside him and said, “Continue.”
The nurse hurriedly snapped back to reality, bowed her head, and quickly helped Chloe treat her wound.
After cleaning up the dried blood around the wound and getting closer to the wound, the sudden pain from the
medicine flowing into the wound made Chloe’s body shudder involuntarily.
Seeing this, Damon just placed his hand on her shoulder, his dark eyes always on her wound, his handsome face
expressionless. But each time the nurse touched her wound, and she instinctively recoiled in pain, the hand on her
shoulder would tighten.
After making sure Chloe had no other problems, Damon arranged a hospital room for her and insisted she stayed in
the hospital for observation. Chloe didn’t reject Damon’s suggestion. Looking at his cold and gloomy face, she
obediently lay down on the hospital bed.
In the hallway outside the VIP ward, Damon grabbed Nathan’s collar and slammed him against the wall. Despite
Nathan looking more muscular than Damon, the overwhelming aura Damon was emitting made Nathan feel
suffocated.
“Is this how you take care of her?” Damon asked.
Nathan knew he couldn’t dodge this bullet. He was majorly bummed out, feeling like he must have seriously
screwed up in a past life or something.
