Bound To Love You Domineering CEO

Crystal came to her mind and found Nathan’s lips turned pale.

“What’s wrong? Are you feeling sick? Does your stomach hurt again?” She asked.

Because of worry, she was not aware of exposing her real emotion.

At once, her anxious tone attracted Nathan’s surprise and excited states; a glow shone in his eyes.

“Are you a child? Can’t you have meals on time? Or do you need someone to keep an eye on you for 24 hours?”

Nathan indeed had a faint pain in his stomach, but he tried hard to conceal it and not to be found by Crystal.

“Why do you know?” Nathan wondered.

“When you held me, your hands gradually lost strength.” As Crystal spoke, she avoided his eyes.

“You pay attention to me?”

For Nathan, this was undoubtedly an ecstatic discovery.

He jerked up to pounce at Crystal and kiss her.

“Don’t touch me.”

Crystal turned her face away to dodge his “attack.”

“Go eat something!” Crystal reproached him grumpily.

Instead of being grieved, Nathan chuckled, “Even if you’re nasty to me, I know that’s just because you care about me.”

Crystal frowned, turned her back to him, and gave him the cold shoulder, “You’re overthinking; it’s none of my business.”

“I’ll eat now.”

There was a leftover breakfast of Crystal on the coffee table, so Nathan directly grabbed it and began to eat.

Crystal sighed. She could never be cruel to Nathan.

She did not know why, seeing Eric survive, her hanging heart suddenly calmed down.

No matter what, Nathan had saved Eric.

Had he not arrived at the scene in time, Eric would have died.

At this time, Vic knocked and came in again, with the news of the watch.

“Master Davis, we’ve been salvaging in the lake for almost six hours but found nothing.”

Nathan was sticking the drawings on the sofa while Crystal was leaning on the bed, casually playing on her cell phone.

Receiving no response, Vic went on, “But, when we checked the surveillance videos, we found…” Vic paused and stole a glance at Crystal.

Crystal’s back stiffened; the cell phone in her hands slipped out of her grasp and dropped on the quilt.

Vic took out a small hard disk from his pocket and handed it over to Nathan.

“What’s this?” Nathan took it over.

“I thought that since we couldn’t find it, it should have probably been picked up by someone. So, we checked the surveillance video,” Vic took a look at Crystal again before going on, “as a result, I found it an incredible video. So, I captured a clip and copied it to you.”

Nathan’s eye lit up in an instant; hurriedly, she plugged the hard disk onto the laptop on the coffee table.

“Don’t watch it!” Crystal suddenly sprang up from the bed to stop him.

In haste, she rushed towards Nathan, without even wearing shoes, and accidentally hit the corner of the coffee table.

Fortunately, Nathan reacted quickly and caught her at once.

Crystal lifted her calf and rubbed it to reduce the pain.

Hugging Crystal, Nathan waved Vic with the other hand, motioning him to get out. “Why are you in such a hurry? You’re pregnant now, don’t be so reckless. Where did you hurt?”

Nathan put her on his thighs, looked down at the place she was rubbing. The fair skin was now bruised.

Taking advantage of the opportunity to lower his head, Crystal reached out to pull out the hard disk.Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

However, Nathan was one step ahead of her. He pushed the computer away to where she could not reach.

He rubbed on the bruise with tenderness and asked, “Is it hurt? How about letting the nurse in to apply for medicine on it.”

Nathan’s gentleness almost melted Crystal’s heart. She clenched her teeth in order not to fall in the tender trap and commanded, “Give me the video back!”

“Sure, I can give you. But I can also get another copy if I want. I can give you as many copies as you want.”

Crystal cast a stern glance at him and could not utter a word.

“I’m interested in what’s inside? What makes you so reckless that you even forgot that you have a baby in your belly.”

“It’s about Eric and me. Do you want to see it?” When Crystal lied, she peeked at Nathan to see his reaction.

“After you left that day, Eric came. Trust me, you don’t want to see what happened to us. Give it to me,” added Crystal.

The smile on Nathan’s face disappeared. “If you watch it, you’ll regret it, you’ll be furious. Do you still insist on watching it?” Crystal deliberately misled him and irritated him, trying to lead him to give up. That’s because, once he saw her desperate to jump into the lake to look for the watch, everything was self-evident; she could not deny her love to him anymore.

In this case, this scarred relationship would be dug out, and they would have to continue to hurt each other due to all sorts of difficulties between them.

Nathan squinted at her, smiled triumphantly.

“If you’re telling the truth, why would Vic give it to me?

Vic has followed me for more than ten years. He knows well about my temperament. If it were something I shouldn’t watch, he would not hand it to me,” Nathan analyzed reasonably. That’s out of Crystal’s expectation; she had thought that he would have been blinded by anger and jealousy.

Nathan pulled the computer over.

“Since you lied to me, I will punish you for watching it with me.”

Taking the chance, Crystal hurried to reach the hard disk, though she knew she was only putting up her deathbed struggle.

Nathan’s arm was a lot longer and more robust than hers.

He lifted the laptop, stretched his arm so that Crystal could not reach it.

Fixed by Nathan, no matter how hard she tried, the laptop was still beyond her reach.

Nathan then placed the laptop on the edge of the coffee table and clicked open the video.

The scene of that night immediately emerged.

The moonlight sprinkled on the sparkling water; Crystal was staggering out from the villa with tears rolling down her cheeks, staring in the direction where Nathan disappeared.

It was originally a long-range shot, but Vic had asked professional personnel to switch it to a close shot.

Crystal’s face was now slowly magnified, becoming clearer and clearer.

The enlarged video pixels were a little fuzzy, but Crystal’s face tears were still legible.

Nathan’s expression suddenly altered.

Crystal freed herself from his hands, rushed to the bed, and directly climbed into the quilt out of shame and embarrassment. Seeing her climb onto the bed instead of leaving the ward, Nathan finally rested his heart.

He wished to hug her, to embrace her tightly at once, but at the same time, he wanted to finish watching the video first to see what he had missed.

Crystal covered her head in the quilt, escaping from the “cruel” reality.

She had thought it would become a secret for the rest of her life; however, unexpectedly, Nathan knew about it so quickly, and what’s worse, he even watched the video.

She had no idea how to face him, nor how to face herself. She buried her head into the quilt as if an ostrich burying its head into the sand.

She didn’t know what to do next; she didn’t want to give Nathan hope and then a heavy blow again.

Eric was still in the ICU; Carlos had just recovered, and Eric’s mother could only rely on her care; everything was in a mess.

Perhaps Nathan could help cure her, though.

Nathan knew all the difficulties Crystal was facing, and he could probably solve them quickly.

It’s just that Crystal felt that something somehow seemed to already change between them.

The ward fell into silence while Crystal’s thoughts were in a whirl.

Although Crystal hid in the quilt, she knew that Nathan was still watching the video. She had no idea what expression he had, nor did she want to know.

After a long while, just when she thought Nathan had left the ward, footsteps sounded behind her and got closer and closer to the bed.

Crystal closed her eyes hard nervously.

Suddenly, two hands held her from behind together with the quilt.

Crystal’s heart gave a great thud against her chest.

Without saying a word, Nathan cuddled her harder and harder, as if she would disappear in the next second.

There’s a kind of oppressive and complicated air flowing in the ward.
