Chapter 288 How Am I Not Sad?

Helena dared not speak of her grievances. She didn’t know when it started, but Nolan didn’t even want to say a word to her.

“Nolan, can’t you see my face?”

Nolan then looked up at her with flushed cheeks and fingerprint marks.

“Who hit?”

“My dad.”

“That’s it then.” Nolan sat back in his seat and opened a folder.

Was he never going to go and settle accounts with Elbert?

Even without the Chase family connection, Nolan still respected Elbert.

Seeing him indifferent, Helena quickly ran towards him and said, “If Peyton got hurt, would you still be so indifferent?”

Nolan intended to say, “Are you even worthy of comparing yourself to her?” But upon thinking about the deceased Brodie, he held back and didn’t say it out loud. “I’ll have Jayson take you to the hospital.”

“I was your fiancée!”

Helena was very dissatisfied with his perfunctory attitude. In the past, although he was never close to Helena, at least he was a

gentleman and respected her.

But now Nolan can’t even show the minimum respect, his disgust towards Helena is evident.

“You didn’t come to the engagement banquet,” Nolan reminded.

“What, you don’t want to take responsibility anymore? Don’t forget that you promised Brodie to protect us for a lifetime! If it weren’t for Brodie, you would have died long ago.”

This sentence was said countless times by Helena. For

example, when she wanted that Starry Dress, Nolan said no, and she would bring up Brodie’s death.

She wanted Seaview Villa, which was originally meant to be a surprise for Peyton, but in the end, Brodie got it and Nolan had to reluctantly let go.

Nolan had been preparing the hospital for several years. From bidding, filing, land acquisition, to construction, Nolan had invested countless efforts throughout the process. Originally, he had planned to give it as a gift to Peyton after she gave birth to their child.

Nolan knew that Peyton had a kind heart, so he even

established a charity fund specifically for those who couldn’t afford medical treatment.

He had already figured out how happy Peyton was when she knew.

When Helena learned about this news, she shouted for shares in the hospital and even changed her name.

During that time, along with Paula’s situation, Nolan held resentment towards Peyton, but his love for her never diminished.

Nolan’s guilt towards Brodie became Helena’s reckless capital, and Nolan could only endure it.

The end of enduring was leaving Peyton battered and bruised.

Nolan suddenly closed the folder, which startled Helena.

“Why are you looking at me like that? Did I say something wrong? It was him who died to protect you in the first place…”

“Enough!”

Nolan exuded a chilling coldness throughout his body, and his voice sank to the extreme. He stood up, his hands resting on the table, towering over Helena.

“Was Brodie’s death the capital you demanded sky-high?”

Nolan’s overwhelming oppression enveloped Helena, who trembled in fear at his expression. “I, I…”

“Yes, he died to save me, and I am very grateful to him. I also promised him that I would take good care of you all. You said you wanted to marry me, and I agreed. Whatever you want, I will give it to you.”

“During Chris’s last birthday banquet, and now this engagement banquet, did I ever say a word to you? Helena, not to mention how much money and effort I have spent on you, have you truly mourned for Brodie’s death?”

Helena was clearly unhappy, “I was pregnant with his child, and

he died. Why am I not sad?”

Nolan looked down at her, and she lowered her head in guilt. Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

Nolan, however, revealed a long-hidden secret.

“How did you come into this world, others may not know, but don’t I know?”
