Chapter 223 Err On The Side Of Caution.
The fireworks display lasted for over half an hour before it finally ended.
Suddenly, Nathan felt a familiar sharp pain in his chest
A frown marred his countenance. This isn’t right. It’s not even the middle of the month yet.
Why is it happening now
Nathan gripped the railing tightly with one hand, clutching his chest with the other, bearing the pain with gritted teeth.
Most importantly, he didn’t want Liam and Olivia to notice.
Yet, his abnormal demeanor failed to escape Olivia’s eyes.
One glance was all it took for Olivia to notice something was off about him. She quickly approached him, noticing his pallor. With concern laced in her voice, she asked, “What’s wrong with you?”
Tm all right Nathan tried hard to keep his expression neutral, not wanting to reveal even the slightest hint of agony.
She had been by his side for so many years, long enough to know him like the back of her hand.
Even after five years, that hadn’t changed.
She knew he was lying,
Olivia frowned, “Does the wound hurt?”
Although it was just a collision, she saw the large bruise and knew he must be in a lot of pain.
“Let’s go back and rest if you’re unwell, she suggested.
Nathan hesitated for a moment, but as the stabbing pain in his chest grew increasingly intense, he had no choice but to nod in agreement,
It had never a acted up prematurely, but this time, it happened ahead of schedule and the potential consequences were still
unknown
Therefore, he thought it was better to err on the side of caution.
“Liam, it’s time to go back.” Olivia called out to Liam, who was sitting on the swing.
The boy jumped down and ran over, asking, “Mommy, can’t we have fun for a little longer?”
“Your dad isn’t feeling well,” Olivia explained, caressing her son’s hair.
Liam looked at Nathan and could tell he was indeed unwell. He asked with concern, “Daddy, what’s wrong?”
Barely managing t
to squeeze out a smile, Nathan said, “I’m fine. Let’s head back.”
“Do you need my help?” Olivia asked.
No nerd. Just take good I care of Liam.”
Olivia didn’t insist further, leading Liam ahead while he followed behind.
Once inside the elevator, Nathan positioned himself in the corner, leaning against the elevator wall with his head down. concealing his expression from view,
Olivia turned her head to give him a side glance, her eyebrows slightly furrowed, but she didn’t say a word

“Mommy, is Daddy okay?” Liam asked.
Olivia smiled. “He’ll be fine. Don’t worry.”
She cast a final glance in the direction of Nathan’s room, then led the boy back to her room.
Nathan returned to his room, wincing in pain as he rummaged through his luggage. It was then he realized that he had not brought any medication with him.
This premature episode was completely unexpected.
Clutching his aching chest, he slowly made his way to the bed. He curled up in bed, attempting to alleviate the pain in this
manner.
Every second and minute that passed felt particularly drawn out for him.
Gradually, he began to feel a chilling sensation seeping through his body. His chest was seized by waves of intense, throbbing pain as if someone was ruthlessly slashing his heart with a knife.
His complexion grew increasingly pale, cold sweat beading his forehead. Despite the chill, sweat soaked his shirt.
Meanwhile, Olivia bathed Liam before lulling him to sleep.
Gazing at the boy’s face, which strikingly resembled Nathan’s, she let out a soft sigh.
He should be okay, right?
Afterward, she shook her head, muttering to herself, “He’s not a child anymore. He’d know how to call a doctor if he’s unwell.” Deciding to put her worries aside, she took a change of clothes and headed into the bathroom.
