Chapter 29 Are You Disappointed?
Rebecca’s desperate cry echoed through the room and down the hallway.
However, Nathan, carrying Jocelyn into the elevator, didn’t hear it. The elevator was playing music, drowning out the sound.
His noble and cold expression didn’t change in the slightest. The elevator doors closed slowly, like the gates of despair, shutting off all hope for Rebecca.
Her heart sank into a pit of hopelessness. It is over. All over.
Greg, enraged, roared, “You little wretch! If I don’t make you kneel and beg for mercy, I’m not Greg!”
He raised his hand, ready to strike her again. Rebecca, too weak to resist, instinctively closed her eyes, bracing for the slap.
But the anticipated pain never came.
“Do you think you can lay a hand on her?”
A magnetic and commanding voice pierced the air, exuding an aura of danger
Rebecca opened her eyes to see an impeccably handsome man standing there. He was perfect, his features sharp and striking. bathed in light as if cloaked in silver radiance.
Maverick!
“Save me,” she whispered faintly before her world turned dark, and she passed out.
Sebastian reached out and caught her just in time. His usually calm and elegant face darkened with a chilling frost.
With a single step forward-
Bang!
Greg was kicked half a meter away, crashing to his knees with a twisted, pained expression. “Ah! It hurts!”
“You… You can’t take her! She’s mine! I paid for her!” Greg spat through his agony.
Sebastian cast him a brief glance, one that regarded him as no more than an insect. Without a word, he signaled to his assistant before carrying Rebecca out toward the hospital.
Rebecca lay limp and silent in his arms, her pale, delicate face exuding fragility. Her weak and pitiful state tugged at something deep within Sebastian, evoking a sense of familiarity he couldn’t place.
Where had he felt this before?
Half an Hour Later, at the hospital, a doctor emerged from the operating room, addressing Sebastian with respect.
“Mr. Sebastian, this young woman isn’t in critical danger, but her body is weak, and she’s been exposed to a prohibited substance. We can’t fully cleanse it without the antidote.”
“A prohibited substance?”
Sebastian’s gentle brows furrowed deeply. He didn’t dare imagine what Rebecca had endured. Pulling out his phone, he was about to make a call when his assistant, Charles, called him first.
“Mr. Sebastian, Greg has been restrained. Also, there’s an issue at the venue. Journalists and partners are waiting, and the matter requires your personal attention.”
Charles rarely escalated nimblems with him, so this must have been serints.

As he left, he made another call, this time to Nathan.
“Nathan, your wife is at the hospital. I have urgent matters to attend to, so I’m leaving”
Finished
Nathan, sitting beside Jocelyn, raised an eyebrow and glanced at her. “You’ve mistaken the person. That must be Rebecca”
Sebastian chuckled lightly. “Do you think I wouldn’t recognize your wife? She was kidnapped and drugged. Didn’t you know?
Kidnapped? So, she hadn’t willingly been with Greg?
Nathan’s pupils contracted in shock.
Sebastian continued. “When I arrived, Greg was hitting her. She only managed to cry out for help before passing out. You’d better investigate the situation carefully
After the call ended, Nathan sat still, processing the unexpected news.
When he saw Rebecca with Greg earlier, holding his arm, anger had clouded his judgment. He had assumed she was debased, shameless, and unworthy of respect. He had ignored her and left with Jocelyn.
But now, it turned out she had been kidnapped?
Nathan stood abruptly, his tall and commanding figure radiating cold fury
“Mike, get the car ready. We’re leaving”
“Yes, Mr. Nathan. Mike hurried to the garage.
Jocelyn, still pretending to be in pain on the bed, was startled by Nathan’s sudden departure. “Nathan, what’s going on? Can’t you stay with me? I don’t want you to leave.
Nathan’s gaze softened slightly as he avoided telling her the truth, “It’s work–related. Get some rest. I’ll have Caleb come take care of you.”
Without giving her a chance to protest, he strode out,
Jocelyn clenched her fists tightly in frustration.
Why? Why was work always more important than me? Why couldn’t he stay and care for me, even just once?
Inside the luxury Maybach, the moment Nathan sat down, he commanded coldly. “Investigate Rebecca’s situation
Mike was stunned. Nathan had left Jocelyn, who was supposedly in pain, to rush out for Rebecca? What would Jocelyn think if the found
Not daring to comment, Mike quickly began the investigation.
A few minutes later, he had the results.
“Mr. Nathan, Greg is a notorious tyrant in Sylvanvale, using his wealth and influence to force women into submission.
A few months ago, he took an interest in Ms. Rebecca. Recently, he purchased her from her adoptive mother for four! thousand dollars and kidnapped her from a bar.
Today, he drugged her and forcibly brought her to the event, hoping to use her to gain Sebastian’s favor and secure a deal.
Mike hesitated, then added, “Charles mentioned that Greg has the antidote for the drug he used on Ms. Jocelyn.”
Nathan’s chiseled features darkened, his amber eyes flashing with cold anger.

Finished
The faint scent of disinfectant lingered in the air. Rebecca lay on the bed, still unconscious. Her frail, slender figure looked even more delicate under the sterile lighting. The bright red handprint on her face stood out starkly.
Despite everything, when she could have begged for help, she had instead asked about Jocelyn’s condition. What a foolish
TUOMAR
“Water…
A soft, weak voice broke through his thoughts. Rebecca’s hand moved feebly, searching for something, only to tug on the IV in her wrist, causing her to let out a pained whimper.
Nathan’s eyes darkened. He stepped forward, gently pressing her hand back down and bringing the water bottle to her lips.
Rebecca sipped the cool, sweet water, relief washing over her.
Someone is taking care of me?
The image of Maverick rescuing her flashed in her mind, and hope surged in her chest.
“Maverick!” she called out, opening her eyes suddenly.
But instead of Maverick, her gaze met Nathan’s strikingly handsome yet cold face.
“Mr. Nathan… It’s you…
Her voice was small, tinged with disappointment.
Nathan’s sharp eyes narrowed
“What is it? Are you disappointed it’s me? Or were you hoping for someone else to be here?”
