Wait, She’s a Billionaire (Sheena Lawson) novel Chapter 1982

Nathaniel scoffed, releasing Mavis.

"Stop crying. You're such a buzzkill. I wouldn't want someone as dirty as you even if you were given to me for free."

Trying to hide his own brief moment of panic, Nathaniel turned his gaze away and avoided Mavis's pitiful state.

Mavis took advantage of her newfound freedom, retreating to the far side of the bed and keeping a wary eye on him as if he were a dangerous beast.

However, the sight of her distress only irritated Nathaniel further.

He stood up and headed for the door.

Just as he reached it, Mavis cried out in pain behind him.

Nathaniel's fingers froze on the doorknob.

Without turning around, he mocked, "Stop faking it. I didn't even touch you."

"It hurts… It really hurts…"

Mavis clutched her abdomen, curling up into a ball, her body drenched in cold sweat and shaking uncontrollably.

It was not an act.

"Nathaniel, I'm really in pain. My stomach..."

Nathaniel sensed something was wrong and quickly turned back, checking on her.

Lifting the covers, he noticed a hint of red beneath her nightgown.

Mavis was bleeding!

He had only intended to scare her.

How did this happen?

Panic-stricken, Nathaniel's hands trembled, and his usually calm blue eyes were filled with fear.

He immediately called for an ambulance and bent down to carry Mavis.

"Hang on, I'm taking you to the hospital."

Troy was waiting downstairs when he heard Nathaniel's frantic footsteps.

"Oh my God! What happened to Mrs. Nicholls?"

Nathaniel barely had time to explain.

"The ambulance can't get in here due to the narrow roads. Get the car now."

With his head lowered, Nathaniel answered, "Not yet. She just went in."

His voice was hoarse, and he sounded defeated.

However, his troubled state only angered Sheena further.

She strode up to him, grabbed his collar, and slapped him hard across the face.

The sharp sound of the slap echoed through the empty hospital corridor, piercing the silence of the night.

A few nurses passing by glanced at the scene with indifference, having seen similar situations before. They just briefly advised Sheena to keep quiet before moving on.

Nathaniel took Sheena's anger without protest, his handsome face marked with a noticeable red handprint.

"Nathaniel, do you know how tough pregnancy is? You've not been there for her for months, failing in your duties as a husband. Mae has had to deal with all the pregnancy symptoms alone, and now she's in the hospital because of you. Are you even human? Has your heart turned to stone?"

He remained silent, enduring Sheena's scolding.

"If anything happens to Mae or the baby, I won't forgive you. I'll make sure you face the consequences. You better stay away from Mae and stop trying to hurt her."

Nathaniel looked at Sheena with no trace of hostility in his eyes and shook his head slowly.

"That won't happen. I'll be more careful and take better care of her emotions."
