CHAPTER 110: CHAPTER 110: IT’S NOT THAT SHE’S WEAK, HE’S JUST TOO STRONG

"I really don’t want to eat..."

Nathaniel Gallagher asked softly, "Then what do you want to eat? I can have the hotel staff bring it here."

Josephine Thompson mechanically shook her head, "I don’t want to eat anything."

"That’s not okay, you have to eat something."

Josephine Thompson was on the verge of collapse but dared not resist, "Nathaniel Gallagher, can you stop forcing me like this? I really don’t want to eat."

"I’m not forcing you, I’m worried you’ll go hungry. Just listen to me, okay? Don’t always make your husband angry, he really doesn’t want to get mad at you, you know?" Nathaniel Gallagher’s voice was extremely gentle, filled with coaxing and deep sincerity.

To be honest.

He truly couldn’t bear to hurt her.

He was even more unwilling for their relationship to crumble, for love to turn into hatred.

"I’m really not hungry..."

Nathaniel Gallagher stopped persuading her, directly lifting her off the bed.

He carried her over to the dining table.

Then, he placed her on a chair and arranged the sliced steak and salad, and so on, in front of her, "Listen, obediently eat."

Josephine Thompson’s chest clenched, tears uncontrollably wanting to fall.

She held the fork, unable to swallow.

"...I’m cold!"

Nathaniel Gallagher heard her, turned around, and grabbed a bathrobe, coming over to drape it over her.

While he was putting it on her.

Josephine Thompson tightly gripped the fork in her hand, her heart involuntarily pounding.

Now he was so close, without any defense!

Could she deliver a fatal blow?

It’s just...

She had to be sure of striking accurately, and also ensure he had no room to resist.

Seeing her distracted in a daze, hands tightly clenched.

Nathaniel Gallagher became immediately alert.

This disobedient little thing.

Was stubbornly refusing to comply, refusing to listen.

In the next second.

Josephine Thompson indeed lunged the fork fiercely at his neck.

"Bang!"

Nathaniel Gallagher grabbed her wrist, easily snatching the fork away.

"Ugh..." Josephine Thompson weakly collapsed to the ground.

She thought her movements and strength were swift enough.

But in his eyes.

Her actions seemed like slow motion in a movie; before she even made a move, he had already accurately predicted her next step.

It wasn’t that she was weak.

It’s just that he was too strong.

"Huh~, still want to hurt me? Do you think you haven’t hurt me enough?" Nathaniel Gallagher squatted down to look at her, coldly teasing, yet heartbroken.

Heartless little thing!

He treated her so well, she didn’t appreciate it at all!

"...No, I didn’t, don’t come near me..."

"Then why are you so scared?"

Josephine Thompson looked at him hopelessly, fear-filled eyes brimming with tears.

Seeing her frightened expression.

Nathaniel Gallagher sighed, bent down, and picked her up, "Josephine, please don’t look at me like this, okay? As if I’m such a bad person."

"Won’t you treat me like your husband as you used to?"

"..." Josephine Thompson curled into a ball, responding with silence.

"Since you don’t want to eat, so be it."

Nathaniel Gallagher then carried her back to the bed.

As he put her down.

He leaned in closely, pressing down.

His long legs stood beside the bed, then half-kneeled preparing to get on it.

Josephine Thompson’s chest exploded with panic, trembling as she spoke, "...I... I’m suddenly a little hungry, I want to eat!"

Nathaniel Gallagher chuckled coldly, "Do you really want to eat, or are you afraid I’ll touch you?"

"I really want to eat."

"...Alright then!" Nathaniel Gallagher released her, and carried her back to the dining table.

Josephine Thompson picked up the knife and fork again with difficulty, starting to obediently eat.

Compared to being... thoroughly toyed with.

She preferred eating.

It’s not that she lacked resolve.

But he’s truly diabolical to the extreme, capable of making you submit in a hundred different ways.

As she was eating.

"Ding dong ding dong!"

The doorbell rang.

"I’ll go see who it is?" Nathaniel Gallagher donned his robe and walked towards the door.

After exiting the living room, he walked to the door.

"Click!"

Opening the door.

Outside, Ruby stood nervously.

Seeing Nathaniel Gallagher, she was even more timid.

"President Gallagher..."

"What’s up?"

Ruby stuttered, "Just now the hospital called, saying Elder Thompson was triggered, he’s in the operating room receiving emergency treatment. They want President Thompson to return quickly..."

Nathaniel Gallagher listened, his brow furrowing further.

He didn’t believe it at all!

It was clearly a ploy to let Josephine Thompson return, deliberately fabricated with this lie.

"Got it."

After speaking, Nathaniel Gallagher slammed the door shut.

"President Gallagher, President Gallagher..." Ruby looked anxious but was helpless.

She dared not knock on the door again.

"What should I do now?"

"Who should I ask for help?"

...

Nathaniel Gallagher returned to the room, watching Josephine Thompson eating.

They had been apart for more than a month.

Finally having the chance to be together, he didn’t want to waste a single second.

Nor did he want anyone to interrupt their time together.

So, he turned off his phone, unwilling to be disturbed.

"Are you full?"

"No..."

"Then take your time eating, do you want me to order anything else?"

"No need."

"Alright."

Josephine Thompson asked instinctively, "Who was knocking just now?"

Nathaniel Gallagher replied calmly, "No one, just the hotel staff."

Josephine hesitated for a few seconds and tentatively asked, "...Uh, when are you leaving?"

"Ha~, can’t wait for me to leave, can you?"

"..." Josephine averted her eyes, the steak in her mouth feeling like wax.

What can she do now?

All she can do is wait for him to leave, then quickly call the police to catch him.

This time, she can’t just let it go.

She wants to bring him to justice, send him to prison.

Nathaniel seemed to read her mind and laughed mockingly, "Are you planning to report me to the police once I leave?"

"I’m not..."

"Mm~, I can show you a video of your initiative."

After speaking.

Nathaniel took out a camera and played the recorded video.

"See for yourself, you were the one who initiated. I didn’t force you!"

Boom!

Josephine’s mind exploded as she looked at him in fear and anger, "...Nathaniel Gallagher, you’re so despicable. You recorded a video of us?"

"Yeah!"

"Give it to me, delete it now."

"Can’t delete, it’s evidence."

Josephine trembled with anger, "I was not conscious last night, it was you... it was you..."

He’s a seasoned player with countless women.

If he wants to seduce an innocent girl, it’s child’s play for him.

Moreover, he’s persistent and patient.

In just ten minutes, he can make the other party... completely lose their mind to achieve his goal.

"What did I do? Haha~, are you trying to say you couldn’t resist my temptation and could only comply?"

"Pfft!"

Josephine was so angry she almost lost her balance and fell.

Nathaniel gave a sinister smile, approaching dangerously close again, "I’m not wronging you, you truly initiated it yourself. If you don’t believe me, you can watch the video."

Josephine, humiliated and angry, covered her ears and screamed in breakdown, "Ah--"

"Please stop talking."

Nathaniel closed in, forcefully embracing her, "Baby, stop deceiving yourself, you clearly can’t live without me, you clearly need me."

"I don’t... I don’t... mmm..."

Before she could completely break down.

She was already pushed onto the bed.

The world spun into chaos.

On the sofa, in the bathroom, in the living room...

Passion tainted the entire room.

...

Hospital.

Master Thompson was rushed into surgery.

"Doctor, how is the elder?"

The doctor looked solemn, "The patient has a recurrent brainstem hemorrhage, have the family been notified?"

"We need a family member to sign the critical condition notice!"

"Doctor, please proceed with the surgery first, we’re trying to contact Miss Thompson. If absolutely necessary, I can sign."

"Alright then!"

The doctor hurried back into the operating room.

Auntie Lena was so worried she nearly fainted, "This is maddening, still haven’t gotten hold of President Thompson?"

"No, we can’t reach her at all."

"What should we do, such a big incident, and we can’t contact President Thompson."

"Call Ruby and have her inform President Thompson, tell her to come to the hospital quickly."

"Oh, okay."

...

Meanwhile.

Julian Grant couldn’t get through to Josephine Thompson either.

He had no choice but to call Ruby.

"Doo doo doo..."

Seeing the caller ID made Ruby even more anxious.

"Oh no, President Grant is calling, he must be looking for President Thompson too."

"What should I do? If he knows President Thompson is with President Gallagher right now... oh my god, the consequences would be unthinkable."

Ruby didn’t dare answer Julian Grant’s call.

She wasn’t even sure whether or not to tell him about it.

Julian dialed three times.

Still, she didn’t dare answer.

"Forget it, come what may, I’ll try knocking on the door again."

Ruby had no choice but to brace herself and knock again.

"Ding dong ding dong..."

The doorbell kept ringing non-stop.

Nathaniel Gallagher knew it was Ruby, initially ignoring it, but he couldn’t resist the persistent ringing.

"Bang bang bang..."

"President Gallagher, President Thompson, please open the door. Master Thompson is in serious trouble, he’s in the hospital undergoing emergency treatment, the doctor is asking the family to come quickly."

"Bang bang bang!"

Nathaniel’s brows furrowed, sensing that Ruby might not be lying.

Josephine was utterly spent, completely exhausted.

She also heard the knocking, faintly recognizing Ruby’s voice.

"...Nathaniel, is it Ruby looking for me? Let her in, have her give my grandfather some assurance!"

"I’m afraid my grandfather will be worried not finding me..."

"You take a rest."

Nathaniel immediately got off the bed and went to open the door.

"Click!"

The door opened.

Ruby looked anxious, stammering, "President Gallagher, Master Thompson is truly in serious condition, he’s in the middle of emergency treatment."

"Let President Thompson hurry to the hospital, there might not be enough time if we’re late."

Nathaniel’s frown deepened, "Are you telling the truth?"

Ruby was panicked, "Even if you gave me a hundred lives, I wouldn’t dare lie to you!"

"Alright, I got it."

Nathaniel closed the door and immediately started getting dressed.

However.

Seeing Josephine in this state, he dared not tell her the truth, opting to check things out at the hospital himself first!
