299 I Know Where She Is
Nathan thought about it carefully while observing his father. He recalled Nadia’s threat to him yesterday.
He felt that the old woman was better off with his father. Together with his father, Ella would be safer. His father could protect Ella from Nadia.
As long as that ugly woman couldn’t do anything to Ella, she wouldn’t be able to threaten him. He could tell his father whatever Nadia said to him yesterday and ask him to punish her.
Seeing his son’s gaze filled with hope, Christian didn’t know what to do.
He thought for a moment and explained to Nathan. “It’s not that I won’t allow you to meet her. But I don’t know where she is now. So, Nathan, I cannot grant your wish.”
“Father, you lied to me...” Nathan wanted to make himself look more emotional. But his fever really made him so weak. His body didn’t have the strength to make him move freely.
Seeing his son frown, Christian felt even more uncomfortable. He saw that his son was growing healthily all this time. He couldn’t see Nathan suffering like this.
“I didn’t lie to you,” Christian said helplessly.
“I refuse to believe that you can’t find the old woman,” Nathan said. His tears fell again.
.....
He pursed his little lips and looked at his father expectantly. “If she comes back to you, can you not be mean to her?”
“Yes,” Christian replied quickly.
In his opinion, Ella would never return. How could Ella come back after successfully leaving him.
When he heard Christian’s answer, Nathan finally calmed down.
With this, his father and the old woman could make peace. They can live together again.
Although Ella had asked him to keep her whereabouts a secret from his father, Nathan couldn’t keep his promise now. He didn’t want anything to happen to Ella.
There was an evil woman who wanted to harm her. He had to bring Ella back to his father’s side as soon as possible. Because only his father could protect them from that evil woman!
“Father...”
Just as Nathan was about to say something, Nadia’s figure appeared at the door. She was carrying chicken porridge with a worried look on her face.
“Is Nathan getting better? Does he want to eat a little?”
Looking at Nadia’s figure, Nathan thought back to what the evil woman had told him yesterday. His small body trembled and he immediately closed his eyes.
Nadia’s eyes shone with slyness.
She could guess what Nathan was thinking right now. Nathan wanted to use his illness as an excuse to keep Christian from returning him to the main house. He also wanted to report what happened yesterday to the man and make Christian angry with her.
But how could Nadia let all that happen?
She walked to Nathan’s side and placed the bowl of porridge on the nightstand. “Let me see if he is getting better or not.”
Nathan’s body immediately stiffened, not daring to breathe.
He didn’t want to open his eyes. Otherwise, this evil woman would definitely force him to eat that porridge. Maybe she had added something to it. What if it’s poisoned?
Christian knew that Nathan didn’t like Nadia so he said, “This is none of your business. Get out of here.”
“Tian?” Nadia looked at Christian with a surprised look. Her face immediately filled with sadness. “Are you afraid I can’t take care of Nathan?”
Nadia stood where she was, confused. “Even though I come from a wealthy family, I can still take care of the children.”
Nadia had a sad expression on her face and continued while taking a deep breath. “I know Nathan doesn’t like me. But I won’t give up. I will try until he can accept me.”
Hearing Nadia who couldn’t stop talking, Christian’s face showed impatience. Did this woman not hear what he was saying?
“Get out of here,” Christian said flatly.
Seeing that resolute expression, Nadia finally nodded. “I’ll go out first.”
As soon as Nadia came out, a doctor entered Nathan’s room.
“Sir...” The doctor greeted Christian breathlessly. Without daring to delay, he immediately checked Nathan’s condition. The butler handed him the thermometer previously used to take Nathan’s temperature. “Why did the young master suddenly get sick?”
“Maybe he caught a cold because last night he didn’t put the blanket on properly.”
Suddenly, Nathan opened his mouth and looked at Christian. “Father, I actually know where the old woman is.”
The sentence managed to make Christian’s body stiffen. That woman was really mean to him. She didn’t tell her whereabouts, but his son knew.
“She won’t want to see me,” Christian said in a low voice.
The butler standing at the side seemed to have seen something extremely rare. His gaze is fixed on Christian’s face, forgetting to blink his eyes.
For some reason, he felt that Christian really cared about Ella.
Even now, his master still thinks about Ella’s feelings.
Normally, Christian wouldn’t care about other people’s feelings. Even if she doesn’t want to be found, Christian will look for her. Even if she doesn’t want to come back, Christian will drag her along.
Hearing what Christian said, Nathan felt helpless.
Ella wanted to see him but didn’t want to see his father. Was it because Ella was afraid of the man? But Nathan was sure that Ella really cared about him.
“Father, tell the old woman I am sick. She will definitely come back,” Nathan said. Even though Ella didn’t want to come back, she would come back for Nathan’s sake.
However, this made Christian very upset. Did his son just want to show off?
But now Nathan was sick and Christian didn’t have time to think about such things.
“Where is she now?”
Nathan noticed that his father’s tone changed so he answered immediately, “In the studio.”
No need to say more clearly which studio, Christian already knew.
“I’ll look for her.”
Hearing that, Nathan immediately felt relieved. Finally, he could sleep peacefully now.
Meanwhile, the butler followed Christian and called out to him hesitantly. “Sir.”
If Ella returned to this house, it would mean that there would be two women in this house. The care and tenderness that Christian showed to Ella was really clear in his eyes. But now, Nadia is his fiancée.
Christian didn’t have time to think about that now. In his mind, there was only Ella.
He wanted to bring Ella back.
The past few days had been torture for him. He didn’t want the torment to continue.
“What is it?” Christian looked at the butler impatiently. The old man could only answer doubtfully. “Miss Nadia is still in this house.”
Actually, he wanted to remind him that if Christian wanted to bring Ella back, he should at least kick Nadia out first.
But since he was only a servant here, in the end he could only say it vaguely.
He didn’t want to get involved in his master’s problems. But he also couldn’t allow two women to live under the same roof.
Not when the two had a special relationship with Christian.
