“How do you feel?”
“Much better now that you’re here.”
Eleanor pretended to be timid and leaned closer towards him again, even reaching for his hand.
“That’s good. Anyway, I have to go now. Get some rest.” He shook off her hand, stood up, and was about to leave.
“Wait! Can’t you stay with me for a bit longer, Nate?”
With tears in her eyes, she immediately grabbed his arm to stop him from leaving.
“Thirteen years ago, I saved your life. I never thought of asking for anything in return…”
Holding his hand tightly, she brought up the past, her voice thick with emotion.
Nathaniel’s expression darkened as he recalled his dark past.
Thirteen years ago, he had gotten into a car accident-except it was no accident after all. Someone in his family had planned it in an attempt to kill him. Pinned underneath the overturned car, he was seriously injured at that time and almost died.
Fortunately, a young girl appeared and saved him. Unfortunately, he was swimming in and out of consciousness at that time and couldn’t make out what she looked like. He only remembered her clear and starry eyes…
Thinking of those eyes, his expression softened.
Then Eleanor took out a pen from underneath the pillow and held it tightly.
It was a rare pen, handcrafted by artisans. It was difficult for one to get their hands on such a luxury.
On the pen was an engraving of his name.

The pen was in pristine condition. One could tell at a glance that its owner cherished it very much and had taken good care of it.

However, there was one spot that had faded paint, which was likely caused by its owners frequent touch.
“You gave me this pen, remember? I brought it with me when I went abroad. Over the past three years, I’ve kept it with me everywhere I go.”
Eleanor gently stroked the faded spot on the pen and sighed.
“Whenever I thought of you, I’d take it out and look at it, wishing you were next to me…”
Nathaniel had always felt guilty about sending her abroad because of Logan’s decision, so when she brought it up, his expression softened even more.
“Get some rest, okay? I promise I’ll get to the bottom of this.”
“Okay, Nate!”
Eleanor looked at him gratefully.
