Meeting You Was Fate

The days in the hospital were so boring. Adrian either played or slept every day. Sometimes, Mandy would take him out for a
walk. Adrian did not understand why he had to be hospitalized and did not want to stay. He felt like he was in good health. Ever
since he had been hospitalized, Mandy and Nathan seemed to be extra nice to him. They seemed to love him even more.
Because of that, Adrian thought being hospitalized was not such a bad thing after all.
Nathan and Mandy had been so very busy with their work that they had not been spending some quality family time with Adrian.
He did not sleep beside them at night. But since he had been hospitalized, they had been watching him sleep every night, which
made him feel at ease.
Mandy bent down and put the book 'Poil de carotte' into the drawer. She reached out to Adrian, lifted his bangs, and kissed him
gently on the forehead.
Mandy stood up and turned to look at Nathan. When she saw that he was staring at her intently, she smiled. She asked softly,
"Are you hungry? Or do you need to rest?"
"I'm not hungry. Come here." Nathan put down the tablet computer and looked at Mandy with a smile.
As if bewitched, Mandy walked toward Nathan obediently. Nathan reached out his hand and held her in his arms. "Adrian's
young, but you women take advantage of him."
"What's that supposed to mean?" Mandy immediately frowned and asked with a serious expression.
"You kiss him every night. Every time Nacy comes here to see him, she also kisses him. And Nana, she always gives him a kiss.
Why do girls turn into such kissing machines when they see handsome guys?" Nathan's low and deep voice was like a
melodious cello chord.
"Are you trying to say that girls are shallow? We're not shallow, okay? Besides, I'm Adrian's mother. Do I violate the law by
kissing my son?"
"No, but... I'm your husband. Why aren't you kissing me lately?" Nathan's tone was very gentle as he asked back.
Hearing his words, Mandy could not help laughing. She just realized that Nathan, her petty man, was concerned about such a
trivial matter now.
She pursed her red lips and teased, "If you want me to kiss you, just say it. Don't make speeches and beat around the bush."

They had not kissed for about six days since Adrian had been admitted. As an energetic and passionate man, Nathan could not
bear the hardship any longer. That was why he complained to Mandy.
"Kiss me then." Nathan took Mandy's arms and put them around his neck. He then put his arms around her waist.
They were getting closer and closer to each other. Mandy now saw Nathan's handsome face up close. She was so excited that
her heart skipped a beat. She could not believe that getting this close to her husband still made her blush after so many years.
Just as their lips were about to touch, there was a knock on the door.
Damn it! Who was that?
Nathan raised his head toward the door and sighed audibly. Mandy could not help chuckling at the annoyed look on his face.
She smiled at him one more time before running to answer the door.
Fiona was standing motionless outside like a ghost. Her gaze was on the floor, but her red and puffy eyes jumped at Mandy like
a striking cobra from the bushes. She immediately felt sorry for her.
"Nana? What's wrong? What happened?" After pausing for a few seconds, Mandy pulled Fiona into the ward and asked her
questions one after the other.
Fiona sniffed and said in between sobs, "Sister, I broke up with Ethon."
"What? Why?" Mandy reached out her hand and pulled Fiona close. She was shaking uncontrollably.
Mandy was furious after Fiona told her everything that had happened. She gritted her teeth and could not stand it any longer.
"Monica intentionally splashed the water on herself in order to make Ethon break up with you? She framed the incident on you?"
"Yes. She had a heart attack. It was extremely terrifying." Fiona pressed her lips together to stop herself from sobbing. Right
now, she could only talk a lot of nonsense in front of Mandy.
Today, Fiona was really angry and felt wronged. She was angry that Ethon could not be brave and firm enough to stand by her
side. She was wronged by the matter of her parents.
"This is outrageous! Where is this old woman? I'll go and find her!" Mandy bellowed. She could not hold her anger anymore.
Being a very protective person, Mandy would not allow anyone to hurt her younger sister and Adrian.

"Sister, please don't. Ethon and I have already broken up. There's nothing we can do about it now. Let's just leave it at that.
Maybe I'm not meant to end up with him." Eyebrows furrowed, Fiona looked worried. She did not want to stir up more trouble.
"You're not meant to end up with him? You can't just leave everything to fate in this world, Fiona. If you don't fight for what you
want, you will not get it, and people will just walk all over you. Don't you know that?" Mandy said in an exhausted tone.
"Monica is indeed a stubborn woman. She likes Shyla better because she is very realistic. The next mayoral election is about to
begin. I'm sure that Joshua is not going to be the next mayor," Nathan chimed in, his handsome face wearing a gentle smile. His
tone was calm and soothing.
Mandy looked at Nathan gratefully. He knew her best. He would never let her down.
Mandy liked the kind of people who were usually gentle and quiet but resolute in manipulating everything. Nathan happened to
be one of them.
"Thank you, brother-in-law. But I don't think Ethon and I will get back together." Fiona frowned once again and looked at Nathan
with sad eyes.
"Who knows what will happen in the future? Nothing is set in stone. You and Ethon may be broken up now, but who knows? For
now, just give each other some time to calm down. Sometimes, love is simple, but once it is related to marriage, it is not only
about love. If Ethon really loves you, he will not forget you in a short time. Forgive him." Nathan put in a good word for Ethon in a
low and attractive voice.
After all, he had been through the same thing. Only after he went through all kinds of tortures in love did he realize who was the
most precious.
With Mandy and Nathan's persuasion, Fiona had calmed down a lot. The next morning, when the sun rose, she faced a new day.
But this day was not a good day for Mandy and Nathan because of Adrian's test results.
All the authoritative data had indicated that there was a large amount of harmful bacteria in Adrian's body, and it had spread to
his organs. When Mandy read the report, she almost fainted.
