Chapter 689 Flying Back Specially For Her

When Nathan was debating with himself if he should call Mandy or not, someone took the initiative to decide for him. His phone rang. It was Nacy. She told him that Mandy had lain sick for two days already. The moment he heard the news, he dropped everything and flew back.

He went straight to the hospital where Mandy was when his aircraft landed in City A. She was asleep, not knowing that he was back and embracing her in his arms.

Mandy's temperature did not wane the whole evening. Her cheeks were burning with the flush of fever, and her skin glistens in a way that had Nathan spooked. Throughout, he nursed her, changing her fever patches four times. He was so worried that he did not sleep a wink.

It was a good thing that when Mandy woke up come morning, her fever was gone. A wave of relief flooded over Nathan.

As for the unfinished work left in Switzerland, Nathan had already sent Fred to take over.

His gentle gestures towards Mandy beguiled the overcast look on his face. Cuddling her, he asked in a tone devoid of emotion, "Are you still uncomfortable?"

Mandy shook her head. She had slept like the proverbial baby and woke up feeling almost brand new. It seemed her body was already going back to its previous self. She had no idea that it was all thanks to Nathan's vigil, taking care of her.

For most of her slumber, Mandy's head rested atop Nathan's arm. Even when he was starting with pins and needles, he endured the pain and calmly clenched his fist, afraid that she would be disturbed.

Sensing that his arm was straining, Mandy bolted upright and asked anxiously, "Nathan, has your arm gone numb?"

Her wide eyes were searching his hand as she carefully reached out and massaged his arms.

"It's not the first time." He bent and swung his arm around, reviving the hapless dead limb. When he got the sensations back, he once again wrapped his arms around her. His touch made the room warmer somehow.

"You... Are you still mad at me?" She was crestfallen with his rebuff. It seemed the man had not forgiven her.

"Yes, I'm angry," Nathan said bluntly.

Mandy decided to bring out the charms. She pouted and

pose?" Nathan raised his eyebrows, daring her to speak her suspicions aloud.

"Is he that bored? Nathan, I know what kind of person Colin is. I don't like him," seeing his face darken, Mandy came to her senses and rushed ahead to explain.

"I know you don't want to leave Lisa. But she's an outsider, and Adrian is our child. You didn't even ask him about it when you sent him to his grandparents. Isn't that irresponsible?" Nathan said, clearly displeased.

"I've asked him about it before, and he agreed. I know I didn't think it through. I promise it won't happen again." Catching the concern on Nathan's face, she bowed her head wearily, feeling ashamed.

Nathan pursed his lips and gave a deep sigh. As Mandy braced herself for another blow, he yanked her closer and tightly held her in his arms. "What am I going to do with you?"

"Nathan..."

"Don't say more." Nathan raised one long, elegant finger and pressed it against her red lips. "This time, I will forgive you, but you have to go with me during business trips in the future."

"Don't I need to go to work?" Mandy scoffed. Her husband's possessiveness was indeed potent, but she liked it.

"I can support you. Why should you go to work? I can't stop thinking about you when you're not with me, and that's not very productive."

Giving in, Mandy held his face gently in her hands and kissed him, her smile never wavering. "Okay, I'll go with you next time."
