Let's Start All Over Again, Shall We (Maggie and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 292

Chapter 292 The Origin

Most of Maggie’s injuries were superficial, with the most severe occurring when she fell from a height, but Nathael had shielded her well.

Thus, despite their scary appearance, the injuries weren’t grave.

Once her wounds were tended to, Mia and Joyce assisted her in freshening up and changing into new clothes before she headed back to the operating room.

Ericko had been waiting nearby, accompanied by another man.

Jimmy lounged casually against a wall in the corridor, exuding an air of fatigue with his arms crossed over

his chest.

He had striking features, and his attractive face possessed a mix of charm and fierceness. He gave off a sense of intrigue and sophistication, which was captivating.

Upon hearing Maggie’s approach, Jimmy glanced up, and his eyes met the figure next to her, freezing in an instant.

The woman had a naturally beautiful face with a gentle complexion. Her eyes were cold yet clear. Her nose straight, and she exuded a distant yet gentle aura.

Joyce glanced up at his gaze, and their eyes locked for a moment, leaving them both momentarily

stunned.

Joyce’s throat tightened, caught off guard by their unexpected encounter.

Quickly, she averted her gaze, concealing any additional emotions.

Jimmy chuckled. His eyes glinted with mischief, giving him a charming appearance, but there was a hint of malice beneath the surface.

Joyce guided Maggie towards the operating room, passing Jimmy. Suddenly, she stumbled, as if something had tripped her.

Jimmy reached out and caught her wrist, pulling her towards him.

“Ms. Sanders, it’s been a while,” he whispered coldly in her ear.

The familiar yet unfamiliar voice momentarily stunned Joyce, sending a chill down her spine.

Looking up at his handsome face, she spoke slowly, “Mr. Hansen, you can let go now. Thank you.

His grip on her wrist was strong; his knuckles turned pale while redness spread to its surroundings, mirroring the state of Joyce’s wrist.

Jimmy sneered, his gaze darkening as he whispered, “Didn’t I tell you never to appear in front of me again?”

The surgery dragged on, and past midnight, Maggie felt disoriented.

Chapter 292 The Origin

Today was Nathael’s birthday, but they ended up spending it in the hospital.

She had brainstormed countless surprises for him, but plans changed unexpectedly.

Many things proved unpredictable.

Taking out the brooch, Maggie opened the box with one hand and leaned against the wall, gazing blankly

at it.

Ericko had brought warm congee for her and sat beside her, speaking softly, “You should eat something.”

“But I don’t have an appetite.” Maggie replied softly without even lifting her eyes.

Ericko gently held her hand and suggested, “Why not head home directly? I’m anxious every time you’re at the Camerons, I worry about your safety constantly.”

Turning to look at him, Maggie’s pale face showed little colour.

Seeing the concern in his eyes, Maggie smiled faintly.

Their relationship started off well, and they even had a son named Jay the next year.

Jay was born healthy, but later he fell ill and became weaker over time.

Doctors suggested they have another child whose blood could help Jay recover.

Maggie was stunned and couldn’t help but ask, “Was Timmothy their second child?”

“Yes,” Ericko replied solemnly.

“However, Timmothy’s arrival was unfortunate. When Emilia was pregnant with him, Charlie found his soulmate in a painter, and he fell in love.”

Ericko continued slowly, explaining how devoted a former playboy’s love was. Despite everything, Charlie wanted to divorce Emilia and marry his true love.

Old Mr. Harris was furious, and Emilia felt betrayed.

Despite Old Mr. Harris’s efforts to stop him, he couldn’t completely destroy his own son.

He cut off Charlie’s income and forbade him from entering any industry, but Charlie’s skill as a sculptor flourished. With his lover’s artistic skills, they managed to live comfortably by selling their work on the black market.

The Finleys were a renowned family, and they couldn’t tolerate their daughter’s humiliation. Hence, Old Mr. Harris sent the woman abroad to satisfy the Finleys.

Charlie disappeared, and despite a tumultuous search, his lack of previous business dealings–and thus, connections–made him difficult to trace.

Old Mr. Harris threatened Charlie with the woman’s safety, forcing him to give up and return to live at strained life with Emilia.

But how could he settle for someone else once he had found true love? Coupled with his own troubles, Charlie often drowned his sorrows in alcohol, spending weeks locked in his workshop carving. He grew increasingly distant from Emilia.
