Sitting on the edge of the bed, Nathaniel nodded quietly.
Upon seeing that he was still indifferent towards her, Eleanor’s heart sank.
“Nate, won’t you even try to comfort me? Do you hate me now that I’m ugly?”
Before Nathaniel could say anything, Mario interrupted them hastily and shot Eleanor a warning glance.
“Ellie, don’t say that. How could Mr. Roberts not love you? Who did this to you? Tell me. I’m going to make them pay!”
Just thinking about this made Eleanor burst into tears again.
“Lucinda… She told me that she wanted to see me. I took a taxi to see her, but I was knocked out when I arrived. When I woke up, I was in the dark room and couldn’t see anything. Someone beat me and said that Lucinda paid them to torture me.
I was terrified… so terrified…”
She curled up and winced, as if just the memory of what happened made her relive the pain. She looked very pitiful and helpless.
Hearing this, Mario’s expression darkened and he turned to Nathaniel angrily.
“Mr. Roberts, you’re Ellie’s fiance. Won’t you do something about what happened? She said that Lucinda did this. If so, then she also offended the Roberts Group. No matter what, you have to help Ellie!”
Mario had been in the business world for a long time now.
Because Lucinda was under Dwayne’s protection, she had the support of the Gordon family. The Turner family couldn’t compete with the Gordon family alone, which was why he needed Nathaniel’s help.
Nathaniel pursed his Lips and pondered for a while.
“If that’s really what happened, then I’ll definitely avenge Ellie. But she’d better not be hiding anything from me. She has to tell me the whole story.”

Eleanor’s blood ran cold. Indeed, she had made up the whole story.
If she said anything more, she’d inevitably get caught in a lie.
Nathaniel wasn’t an idiot. The moment she screwed up, he’d know she was lying.
She had no choice but to stall for time. That way, she could talk to Melody later and discuss how to deal with it.
So she quickly put her hands over her head and winced dramatically.
“No! My head hurts! What’s going on? I can’t remember anything!”
Seeing this, Mario quickly said, “Ellie just woke up. Asking her to relive such a traumatizing memory will stress her out. Let’s give her some time to rest first.”
Nathaniel stared at her icily, but in the end, he nodded in agreement.
Just as they were about to leave, the door of the ward suddenly swung open from the outside, and two handsome men strode in.
