The phone inside Nathan's suit jacket continued ringing.
His hands, cold and tingling, picked up the phone to glance at the caller |D-Amella.
Finally, he answered, “Hello-”
“Nathan, where are you? I’ve been calling you all day.” Amelia bit her lips, her voice choked with emotion.
“| was hit by a prop while filming an advertisement, so the director allowed me to take half a month off to let my foot heal. | was thinking... maybe we could use this time to plan our wedding?”
Nathan remained silent on the other end.
Amelia had a bad feeling but composed herself and continued, “You know, Mrs. Franklin has always hoped we'd get married soon. We're not getting any younger, and it’s about time we have a child.”
“Will your agency allow it?” Nathan asked, watching the downpour of rain.
“I'll coordinate with Yolanda and the company. In the worst-case scenario, I'll quit the entertainment industry and be a housewife! Nathan, you know you’re the most important to me.
Nathan felt a mix of emotions.
If Amelia had said this back then, he would have immediately bought a ring and gone to find her ready to propose as soon as possible.
But now...
“What's wrong, Nathan?” Amelia couldn’t hear Nathan’s enthusiastic voice, and she panicked. “Do... Do you not want me anymore?”
“It's not that, you're overthinking it.” Nathan sighed.
“But...” Tears welled up in Amelia’s eyes. “But | just told you | got hit by a prop and hurt my foot, yet you still haven’t asked me how my foot is.”
“I'm sorry. Because the contract with Evergreen Biotech hasn't been finalized yet, | haven't slept well for a long time,” Nathan lied to Amelia.
“Where are you now? Have you returned to the hotel?” “lm at Mythravia Hospital right now. Although the injury isn’t severe, Yolanda is worried...”
Amelia added, “It’s my fault. | shouldn't have been suspicious of you, Nathan. You take care and rest well! The company’s matters are important, and my foot’s not badly injured anyway!”
“You take care too.”
“Nathan!” Just before hanging up, Amelia urgently told Nathan, “I miss you so much! | love you, and Chapter 193
rest well!”
After ending the call, Nathan glanced at his watch. It was almost 11:00 PM.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
Audrey wouldn't be coming.

At this moment, Nathan’s guilt and regret peaked. He had already wronged Audrey, and now he was treating Amelia like this. Amelia hadn't done anything wrong. She simply loved him with all her heart.
Nathan pursed his lips, dragging his weary legs downstairs.
He called the driver. “Come pick me up at Sheysea University. We're going to Mythravia.”
Before Nathan even reached the bottom of the stairs, he received a call from the manager of the Franklin Group.
“Hello, Mr. Franklin. Evergreen Biotech has relented, but they want to modify the contract. They don’t want us to reduce the offer by 0.1%, but they want us to prove that the Franklin Group’s production capacity and finances are sound.
“They'll provide the formula for the first batch of drugs without financial support, and they need us to produce them within a month, and they must all be high—quality!”
The manager continued excitedly, “As long as this batch of drugs is fine, not only will we get the orders for Alzheimer’s drugs, but also anti-cancer drugs!”
