Meeting You Was Fate

Nathan smiled maliciously as his mind began to race. It turned out that Mandy was a bit jealous of the love story that began from
school—he'd never known about this until then.
"Sister..." Tears welled up in Fiona's eyes as she was touched by Mandy's story. She then pulled her in for a hug.
"Silly girl, you still love him, don't you?" Mandy said with a faint smile, eyeing Fiona carefully.
How could she stop loving him? She had loved him for so many years. How could she let him go just like that?
Fiona curled her lips as she nodded. She was too embarrassed to say anything. She had just broken up with Ethon a few days
ago and decisively so. If she suddenly changed her mind, wouldn't that be humiliating?
Mandy smiled as she continued, "As long as you two love each other, there's nothing you can't overcome."
"But Ethon's mother really hates me." Fiona let out a sigh.
"Don't worry. That's not a big deal. Even though marriage is probably going to be hard without the parents' blessing, I'm sure you
two can manage. Malcolm is a good guy. You'll have the best father-in-law. He'll love you like his own daughter." Mandy tried her
best to comfort Fiona. She didn't exactly know Malcolm quite well, but she knew that he was a sensible and decent guy.
Fiona merely nodded despite not fully understanding what Mandy had said. She was still skeptical about her claim on Malcolm.
Her eyes gleamed with confusion. 'I wish that Ethon and I never broke up. I wish we never fought in the first place.'
Fiona was very stubborn especially when it came to relationships. She didn't want to admit her weaknesses and often fled when
things got hard. That was why she broke up with Ethon. Ethon didn't even come see her after. Perhaps, he had already grown
tired of her antics.
It was late at night, and the ward was quiet.
Mandy and Nathan slept on the same bed while Fiona slept on another bed beside them. Adrian was sleeping alone in his
hospital bed in the middle of the ward. The machine attached to him monitored his vital signs at all times. It would start ringing if
it detected any dangers. Finally, Mandy and Nathan could sleep in peace.
When Nathan watched Fred arrest Ouyang, he decided to postpone interrogating Ouyang for the meantime. Instead, he asked
Fred to imprison Ouyang first. An incident had occurred at the factory in London, and it had been bothering Nathan the entire
afternoon. He had to go to London but couldn't bring himself to tell Mandy. How could he leave Adrian and Mandy in such times?

They had been lying on the bed for more than twenty minutes now, but Mandy saw that Nathan was still wide awake. She knew
that when Nathan slept, he would either stay completely motionless or wrap his arms around her but that night, he seemed a
little restless. That was how she could tell that he still hadn't slept. Ever since Adrian was hospitalized, Mandy hadn't slept well.
She was nervous and worried that something might happen to Adrian. She hadn't slept soundly for a long time—just the slightest
movement could wake her up.
"Nathan..." Mandy called Nathan in a gentle voice. She knew that he was still awake.
