Chapter 329 They Deserve to Die
With those thoughts, Nathael had a hard time describing the rage boiling in his heart. The urge to kill Sabastian burned in his mind.
He was about to open the door and confront him when Leo beat him to it.
Apparently, Leo had seen what happened, and it left him just as furious.
Without bothering to consider why he was there, the medicine bag in Leo’s hand fell to the ground as he stormed into the room and started fighting with Sabastian.
“What are you doing?” The usually composed teenager, who rarely showed his emotions, was unusually out of control.
Leo charged forward, grabbing Sabastian’s collar and delivering a fierce punch to his face.
Sabastian looked uncharacteristically disheveled. He tried to explain, but ultimately, he said nothing.
Nathael’s face darkened, and he turned and left the scene.
When he went home, he found a way to send Sabastian abroad, and he trapped him there.
It wasn’t until two years later that Sabastian learned of Nathael’s existence.
Maggie noticed Nathael’s rare moment of distraction, and she asked, “What are you thinking about?”
Nathael snapped out of his daze. His gaze settled on hers. “No more drinking when you’re out,” he said. sternly.
Maggie blinked a few times. She pouted her lips and glared at him in disbelief.
What did drinking have to do with anything?
What is this man thinking?
In the face of her silence, Nathael wrapped an arm around her waist, leaning in a bit. He urged with a hoarse voice, “Say something.”
Maggie was annoyed and answered in a grieving voice. “Why should I do that? How come you get to drink?”
Nathael replied, “Then I’ll stop drinking first.
“Don’t!” Maggie almost cried. She had no doubt about his self–discipline, but she still wanted the occasional drink.
“How about… I only drink when you’re around or at home.” Maggie suggested softly, hoping to ease the tension.
Nathael thought about it and eventually agreed.
Maggie let out a small sigh of relief. It appeared that Nathael had been absent ever since meeting Sabastian
When Maggie and Leo received lessons from Kevin and his wife, Sabastian’s rebellious streak often caused trouble. Over time, they realised he had a s his tough exterior. He was fiercely protective of her and Leo.
After the father and son fell out and Sabastian went abroad, they lost touch.
He must have had a difficult first two years due to intermittent contact and multiple phone losses.
As they grew older, their connection faded. Their once–close friendship dwindled to simple greetings and fewer topics of conversation.
Maggie leaned her head on Nathael’s shoulder, feeling a wave of sadness when she thought of this.
Time was something frightening. It can turn close friends into strangers, making those who once shared everything have nothing left to say.
What about her and Nathael?
Would there be a day when they became strangers, too?
The thought made her chest tighten. Her good mood turned gloomy, and the sudden chill rapidly extinguished her earlier happiness.
Maggie closed her eyes and recalled her previous life. Sabastian had returned two years later in that timeline, and he had visited her twice. Joseph, how
Although she disagreed with Joseph, she didn’t want to betray the Camerons‘ trust and slowly distanced herself from Sabastian.
Later, when she married Nathael, Sabastian didn’t show up but sent a generous gift.
She didn’t want to see anyone, so their wedding was a private affair in a beautiful chapel, with only her and Nahar.
After that, they barely saw each other. She only heard once from Mia that Sabastian and Joseph had fought, leaving Joseph with a black eye. His busine
By then, Maggie had already lost faith in Joseph, but she still held onto the gratitude she felt toward the Camerons for raising her. Hearing about the figh
Thinking back, Sabastian had always disliked Joseph, even during her years at Kevin’s house. Sabastian would often ridicule Joseph in front of her, moc
Maggie sighed deeply.
She wondered how Sabastian saw through Joseph’s facade while she was utterly blind. Not only was her judgment off, but her mind seemed clouded, al
After getting home, Maggie took a shower, sat on the bed, and stared blankly at the ring on her hand.
She wore the ring and a red bracelet on her left wriThese were the evidence of their love.
Nathael seemed to be on the phone in his study, so Maggie sent Leo a text. ‘Sabastian is back. Let’s visit Mr. Dunphy soon.
Leo replied a while later with a simple, ‘Okay”
Shortly after. Leo called her. “Where are you? Can we talk?”
“Yeah. I’m at Nathael’s place; he’s in the study,” Maggie replied softly.
“How’s your health? Have you felt anything unusual?” Leo asked as he stood before a French window. His usually gentle demeanour carries a hint of we
On his desk, documents about Dream Venom piled up.
“Not really, just a bit tired,” Maggie replied, unsure if it was anything to be concerned about. Since Timmothy kidnapped her, she hasn’t felt quite herself.
“Tell Nathael to take it easy. Leo frowned, his voice gaining a trace of irritation.
Maggie’s ears turned a shade of red. She quickly replied, “It’s not him; I’ve just been busy lately.”
Leo didn’t respond. He pulled out a cigarette from the box and put it in his mouth, but he didn’t hang up.
The sound of the lighter clicking was audible through the phone. Maggie sensed his sour mood and said. softly, I’m fine. Master Harris agreed to help fin
“We’ve been tracking Flora and Waylon’s whereabouts. Waylon had been missing for years, but Flora doesn’t appear to be abroad. Samuel found some
“Okay, no rush.” Maggie reassured him, “Having the Hudsons‘ help is good enough.” They both fell silent for a moment before Maggie recalled somethin
“He didn’t. I just told him I’m helping a friend, Leo replied.
Maggie exhaled a breath of relief and said, “Let’s not worry him.”
Hearing the study door opening, Maggie quickly ended the call after a brief chat with Leo.
Leo remained by the French window. His icy expression was growing darker, and his eyes were filled with menacing melancholy.
The documents on his desk indicated that Dream Venom caused excruciating pain, worsening with each. attack.
He couldn’t bear to think about Maggie suffering through that kind of agony.
Leo lowered his gaze, his thoughts filling with a growing rage against the Camerons. Each of them deserved to die. Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.
