The Wrong Woman
Chapter 205

Suzanne helped him sit up before propping up the meal table on the bed. Then, she brought the food over from the other table.

This amount of injury was nothing to him, and he certainly didn't need anyone to look after him.

As for why he only sat up with her help, he simply enjoyed being cared for by her. Hence, he pretended to be weak.

She placed the dishes on the table and asked while getting him soup, "Why is Liam in Muzat, Nathan? Your parents said he hadn't been home in five years. Is he dealing drugs?"

Nathan explained casually, "With my family's wealth, he doesn't need to resort to such illegal trades for money."

"It looked to me like he had business with the drug traffickers. Why didn't you go look for him?"

He picked up a set of utensils and handed it to her. "You should eat too."

"You go ahead." She sat at the foot of the bed and placed the bowl of soup in front of him.

"Eat with me."

"Okay," she replied softly. She took the utensils from him and started eating.

Not a moment of silence later, she asked again, "Liam isn't a criminal, right?"

Nathan froze, and his face darkened. "He graduated from the police academy."

Suzanne was shocked. Now realizing Liam's identity, he stared bewilderedly at Nathan.

As a son of a wealthy family, he didn't need to resort to dealing drugs when he had his family's business as a source of income.

If so, he was most likely a narcotics officer. He hadn't returned home in five years because he was involved in the most dangerous job in his field of work-going undercover. That was why he couldn't come back.

"Does your family know?" she asked.

"No, and they can't know."

She understood the risks of being a narcotics police very clearly. She suddenly felt conflicted and upset.

Nathan looked up and noticed her dull expression. "Why the sudden concern about my brother?"

If it weren't for Liam, she wouldn't have been able to make it back safely. It was normal to care about the person who saved her life. Besides, Liam was the brother of the man she liked. "Just asking," she mumbled in a low voice. She then continued eating with her head hung low.

He didn't say anything more and ate in silence as well.

As if remembering something, Suzanne asked again, "Nathan, Liam isn't in trouble, is he?"

His chest felt constricted, and he didn't feel like eating anymore. His gaze darkened. "Should be fine."

"Lucas was almost killed when he was discovered as a spy during his investigation," she explained. "I'm worried the same will happen to your brother."

The man set his spoon down and grabbed a tissue to clean his mouth. He then lightly exhaled in frustration.

Suzanne was puzzled. "Why did you stop eating?"

"I'm full." He leaned back.

She frowned and stared quizzically at his sudden change in demeanor. "Why did you only eat so little?"

"I'm not hungry."

"Have some more?"

"You go ahead."

"Alright." Suzanne didn't insist further and simply continued eating by herself. She sighed as she ate.

Upon looking at her unhappy expression, Nathan asked gently, "Why are you sighing?"

"I'm really worried about Liam."

He lifted his head and drew a deep breath. After recomposing himself, he explained to her calmly, "Since this is the path he's chosen, we should respect his choice. Whatever happens next is not within our control."

Suzanne also lost her appetite. She set her spoon down and said, "The drug traffickers all lack humanity. They'll definitely kill him if he gets found out."

"You've only met him once and been with him for less than a day," Nathan's voice was acidic. He lowered his voice and asked bitterly, "Are you that hung up on his well-being?"

His words felt odd. Upon noticing this, she looked at him, puzzled.

He exhaled lightly. Then, he lifted his legs and hopped off the bed.

She nervously reached out to help him. "Why are you getting off the bed when you're hurt?"

His expression was dark. "My legs are fine. I can walk."
