Chapter 268

Lily’s brain had ceased to function. She stared at him for a moment before realizing what he had said.
She punched his shoulder and said, “You’re crazy!”

“Ouch!” Alexander grunted in pain. “I know it was my negligence that you must bring this up. However,
it’s not too late for us to work hard on it from now on.” “When have I said that?” Lily was helpless and
could no longer explain her words, “When did I say I want to have a baby with you? When did I mention
this?”

She did not remember mentioning that she wanted a child. Why did he suddenly bring up this topic? He
could work hard by himself! Alexander released his hands around Lily and turned to pick up the
wooden doll he had put down earlier. He waved the two dolls at her, “The reason you bought this is to
hint you want a son and a daughter, wasn’t it?

Lily was speechless.

‘Why are his thoughts so peculiar?! I’m helpless with him!’ “That’s not what I meant. I was walking
around and coincidentally passed by a wood carving shop. I went in to look and found these two dolls
very cute, so I brought thein home. You’ve misunderstood. I don’t have that idea!”

Hopefully, now that she had clarified everything, there would be no more confusion. Alexander had
probably understood what she meant and looked disappointed for a moment. He still nodded, “I see!”

Lily sell guilty when she saw his disappointed look. Were her words too harsh? Should she have
explained it more gently? Was he looking forward to having children? She had never thought about it
hersell.



While thinking about it, she heard Alexander continue, “It doesn’t matter! Even if you have not had this
notion, you can start having it now. Why don’t we think about it?” “Alex! Get! Lost!”

Lily shouted, even though she rarely shouted. To have felt guilty about it earlier was a waste. Instead,
he appeared to have planned for the distant future. Who cared what he wanted to think or believe? He
could think for himself!

It was a silent night in the hospital as the visiting hours had long passed. Most of the patients had
rested, but there were always exceptions.

Nathaniel was admitted into a single-occupancy ward after his car accident. Two days later, he was
transferred to the VIP ward. He seemed to have received excellent treatment. He was not sleepy at the
moment. He stared at the stars outside the window as his mind wandered off.

The ward’s doorbell rang twice before it was pushed open from the outside. A bodyguard looking
person came in first and glanced inside to ensure he was the only one in the ward. Then he turned to
look out of the door and nodded.

A woman wearing an oversized black trench coat, a long scarf, and large sunglasses walked in. She
stood in front of the bed and stared at Nathaniel. However, Nathaniel did not turn around and acted as
though he did not know someone was there. After a moment of silence, she took off her sunglasses
and called his name, “Nate.”
