Chapter 2560
She pressed on, “Shouldn’t I be discharged today? It’s been a whole week since I have seen Colby and Destinee.
I’m worried about them so much; I really miss them and want to see them soon.”novelbin
Over the past couple of days, the doctor had conducted several examinations revealing issues like high blood sugar, neural atrophy, and low blood pressure, all of which led him to insist she wasn’t ready for discharge.
Stuck in the confines of the hospital room, she was growing increasingly restless.
Nathan smiled gently, his expression unwavering as he spoke.
“I came by today to share some good news.
I spoke with the doctor, and he mentioned your condition has stabilized enough for you to be discharged.”
“Really? That’s wonderful!”
The woman’s face lit up with joy, and she wasted no time in getting out of bed to pack her belongings.
She had been kidnapped originally, and Nathan hadn’t bought her many things after rescuing her, so there wasn’t much to pack.
With his hands casually tucked into his pockets, Nathan strolled out of the ward, leaving her to pack up alone.
Five minutes elapsed before the woman emerged, clutching a small bag packed with daily essentials.
One of the guards stationed at the door kindly offered to help her with it.
Glancing down the corridor, she looked for Nathan but didn’t spot him.
Turning to the guard, she asked, “Where is my husband?”
“Mr.
Payne went to the smoking room.”
“Alright, please take my things downstairs first.
And also, could you buy a strawberry mousse at the nearby five-star hotel? I’ll have it in the car on my way home later.”
“Certainly, Mrs.
Payne.”
The woman lifted her chin proudly, embodying the air of the esteemed Mrs.
Payne.
With a determined stride, she turned on her heel and made her way to the smoking room in search of Nathan.
The smoking room had elegant, transparent glass doors.
As she approached, she caught sight of Nathan leaning casually against the window, cigarette in hand.
He had taken off his jacket and was now in a smooth white shirt with sleeves rolled up to reveal sinewy forearms, veins subtly tracing under the skin.
He exuded charm effortlessly.
With a gentle exhale, smoke curled from his lips in delicate rings, veiling the melancholy and detachment that flickered in his eyes.
His profile was sharp and defined, every gesture oozing nobility and allure, his physique hinting at strength and grace in equal measure.
This man was irresistible.
The woman paused outside the glass door, captivated by the sight.
She became increasingly drawn into Nathan’s allure.
An idea began to take shape in her mind, causing a smirk to play on her lips as she raised an eyebrow.
Nathan was undeniably handsome-it would be a shame not to spend the night with him.
Once they were back home, she intended to make it happen.
Lucinda was gone for good, but now she, the imposter, had become the real thing!
Gathering her thoughts, she pushed open the door to the smoking room and confidently approached Nathan.
With a playful smile, she gently plucked the cigarette from his fingers and teasingly chided, “You are being naughty again, honey.
Don’t forget you are not supposed to smoke.
Colby is weak and can’t tolerate the smell of cigarettes, and you can’t go see him smelling like this later.”
Nathan gazed at her face, which was a mirror image of Lucinda’s, momentarily stunned.
