Chapter 104 What Else Can You Do Except To Threaten

"I know you are awake." Without warning, Nathan covered Mandy's right wrist with his palm, which was
the injured part.

She still ignored Nathan. But unexpectedly, drowsiness soon invaded her senses, and she fell asleep
quickly.

Nathan, on the other hand, was closely watching her slipping away into a deep slumber. With a hint of
impatience, he put forth strength to his fingers and pressed them hard on her injured wrist, which jolted
Mandy awake, and she screamed in pain.

"Ouch! It hurts. Let me go." She opened her eyes grimly, showing a fit of slight anger in her clear eyes.

She was injured, but he was still treating her like this. Was he even a human?

Only Nathan would do such a despicable thing to force her to open her eyes.

Glancing at her wrist, Mandy was trying to stop the bleeding, but it was not easy. The gauze was
saturated again because of the pressure.

Frightened, Mandy was fully awake now. She looked straight into Nathan's cold eyes, and she
involuntary felt herself shudder with chills running down her spine.

There was a fear that spread from the bottom of her heart.

"Mandy, listen to me. If you dare to engage in such a move to end your life again, I will make your
whole family die with you. You know, it's only a piece of cake for me to destroy your family," With a
strong sense of warning in his dark eyes, he was completely different from the anxious and worried
Nathan from earlier when he was waiting outside the operating room.



It was unfortunate for Mandy, however, that she never saw him get worried about her before. So in her
heart, she could only perceive Nathan as a real devil.

"What else can you do except threatening me with my family?" Mandy was in a rage, but her voice
sounded indifferent.

"Well? Do you really think I'm useless except that I am only good at threatening?" Nathan slightly
arched his eyebrows and asked her instead without giving her a retort.

The tense atmosphere around them made them both feel the brewing conflict in the quiet air. Mandy
could easily discern the mix of sarcasm and disdain in Nathan's eyes.

Noting his sullen look, she managed to bring herself to reply in a trembling voice, "Yes."

"Ha-ha..." Nathan chuckled. It sounded expressionless, but it was particularly arrogant.

"Don't laugh. If you keep your promise, then just let me go when it is time," Mandy said. She felt
restless but couldn't help uttering the same request again. Her rosy lips opened and closed like a fish
without even noticing his emotion.

"Okay, I promise you," Nathan narrowed his gloomy eyes as he assured her.

Mandy sighed with relief. Focusing her gaze on the bandage over her wrist, she suddenly felt that
everything was worth it. As long as she could get rid of Nathan, what was a big deal in such a small
injury?

Before Mandy could react from the ecstasy of her so-called freedom, Nathan had already sealed her
lips with his lips. He bent his body over and pinched her shoulders in his big hands as if he wanted to
crush her.



"Gosh... What are you doing!" Mandy struggled desperately. What happened tonight had left a shadow
on her mind. Although she was fortunate not to be molested by the hooligans, now she felt that Nathan
was no different from the hooligans in the casino. He never considered her feelings when he did things
his way. Currently, she was lying on the hospital bed, but he still wanted to do it with her!

"Do your due diligence. You don't have to go to work at the hospital in the following few days until
you've fully recovered," he ordered coldly.

"Let go of me! Are you even a human being?" Mandy instinctively shrank back. She had lived in horror
with Nathan for nearly a month, and yet she still couldn't figure out what kind of person he was.
Sometimes, he was good enough to let people die for him, but most of the time, he was always cold,
making people want to beat him to death.

"You have slept with me for such a long time. Don't you know me well? It seems that I need to help you
review it, in case you forget it." Nathan smiled, and he was not even angry. His handsome face wore a
natural and innocent smile.

"We are in the hospital!" Mandy blurted out, and her voice trembled with fear as she tried to put some
sense in him. 'Nathan is impossible, ' she mused as she helplessly stared at him in disbelief.

"I know, but no one is allowed to come in here without my order." He grinned evilly. There was nothing
he couldn't do as long as he wanted to.

"But... But you can't do that. I am still a patient!" Mandy reasoned out, incoherently. She was
exasperated and felt agitated at the same time.

Nathan grabbed her injured wrist and smirked. "You deserve it. If you don't listen to me, you'll regret it
at any time."



Mandy tried her best to hold back her strong aversion to Nathan and forced herself to cater to him.
After staying with him for such a time, she had learned her lesson from her experience the hard way.
She understood that the more she resisted, the more aggressive Nathan became. So she would rather
obey him than waste her energy to go against him.

Nathan was more than satisfied when he felt Mandy kissed him in her initiative. He squinted his dark
eyes as he felt her deep affection. But Mandy failed to see it the moment she closed her eyes.

Outside the window, with stars shining against the dark blue sky, a handsome man and a beautiful
woman were kissing affectionately in the room.

The next morning, when Mandy rouse from sleep, she observed how Nathan looked immaculate and
impeccably dressed in his suit. Appreciating the good weather outside, she somehow felt an ounce of
happiness. The sky was blue, and the typhoon was gone, and now the golden sunlight sprinkled into
the ward, making the room wonderfully warm.

Nathan, at that time, was facing the glass window. There was no warmth in his eyes as he stared at the
vast horizon, deeply lost in his thoughts. He didn't even notice that Mandy was already awake.

She silently watched his back for a while, with a feeling of coldness in her heart, knowing she could
never get close to Nathan. She perceived that he was thinking about something, but she had no idea
what about it.

Mandy desired to know Nathan's secret, but she was afraid of knowing it because they were from two
different worlds, and it would never be possible for them to be together.

Mandy was struggling in her heart. For the first time in her life, she felt what self-abasement was. When
the sun shone on Nathan's shoulder, he moved an inch, letting his hair seem to fly in the ray of light.
Like being captured by a camera, his every move was slowly presented in front of her eyes.



She was still mesmerized and in a daze when Nathan turned around, greeting her with a faint smile on
his handsome face, "Good morning."

Snapping back to her senses, Mandy blinked her eyes and replied foolishly, "Good morning."

Her heart seemed to be disturbed by Nathan. She had this strong desire to know everything about him.
Why was he sometimes cold and sometimes passionate? Everyone had a story, even Nathan–the
man, who made all women go crazy?

"I have already asked for leave for you. You can rest here, at ease," Nathan informed her, nonchalantly.

"I... I don't want to stay in the hospital," Mandy mumbled, looking innocent while pouting her lips.
