Chapter 27
After emergency treatment, Nathaniel was out of mortal danger.
But when Victoria hit him, she had floored the accelerator, truly intending to kill Riley
The car was moving extremely fast, and when Nathaniel rushed over, he was only focused on saving Riley with no thought of avoiding the vehicle himself.
After the surgery, the doctor told Riley and the Blackwood family members who had rushed over that Nathaniel’s spine was severely damaged, and recovery might be impossible.
Hearing the doctor’s words, Riley could barely stand, her face turning pale.
The suffering she had experienced in her previous life–she thought she had escaped it in this life, but had it merely been transferred to Nathaniel instead?
Nathaniel’s mother, Sophia, nearly fainted, leaning into Mr. Blackhood’s arms, crying out in anguish: “Our Nathaniel… he’s only in his twenties, what will happen to him…”
“What exactly happened? Why did Victoria suddenly drive into Nathaniel?” asked Nathaniel’s brother, Xavier.
Riley, with tears streaming down her face, choked out: “He was saving me. Victoria was trying to hit me…”
“You…” Not knowing what to say, Xavier stood silently.
Looking at the girl crying before him, what could he say?
Should he say his brother shouldn’t have saved her? But that was Nathaniel’s own choice.
Moreover, he knew his brother too well. If Riley had been injured, he would have suffered a hundred times more than if he himself were hurt.
He would always remember that six months ago, Nathaniel had suddenly called him, asking him to locate Victoria.
At that time, Victoria hadn’t yet appeared in their lives. His sudden request to investigate a stranger made Xavier curious–he thought his brother might have developed feelings for someone else.
But that fool said he had had a dream about someone named Victoria who would soon harm Riley because she liked him.
Xavier found this reasoning laughable and was unwilling to waste resources on it.
But Nathaniel said: “I know this might just be me being overly worried, but if there’s even the slightest possibility, I absolutely don’t want Riley to face any risk.”
Nathaniel insisted on investigating, so Xavier had to help him. Surprisingly, such a person really existed.
Later, Nathaniel had people secretly observe Victoria, and sure enough, before long, she began to pursue Nathaniel obsessively.

Chapter 27
After that, Nathaniel became even more concerned about Riley. After Victoria’s first attempt to hit Riley, Nathaniel had her confined, and Xavier had also sent people to help.
However, they never expected that someone already in confinement could escape and almost kill Riley.
Now, watching Riley sob uncontrollably, Xavier didn’t know what to say. He couldn’t blame anyone, but he couldn’t help feeling heartbroken for his foolish brother.
“Are you hurt? Do you need treatment?” he sighed, eventually unable to blame her. Seeing her covered in blood, he asked Riley.
“No need, Xavier. I’m not injured, I just…”
Before she could finish, Riley suddenly blacked out and fell backward. Fortunately, Xavier was quick enough to catch her.
“What’s wrong? Riley? Riley!!!”
