Chapter: 700

He knew that to a third person, he would look like a freak.

But they would never be able to understand him.

To Jonathan, Bethany had been his love since he was young. Finally having her made him ecstatic.

He had thought she would never love him. But now, she was beside him, willing to do anything for him. It felt like a dream.

He was even a little afraid that he had died after being stabbed by Maddie, and everything in front of him now was just an illusion.

Jonathan reached out and gently touched Bethany's cheek, letting his fingers wander over to her eyebrows, eyes, and hair. He wished time would stop at this moment.

After a long time, there was a knock on the door.

Hearing this, Jonathan frowned and looked at the monitor by the door.

Seeing that it was Nikolas, he opened the door with the remote control.

Nikolas had come here to complain about Aimee, but when he entered the room and saw Bethany sleeping soundly, he stopped himself.

Moreover, he noticed that although Jonathan's face was pale, the latter seemed to be in good spirits, and he immediately understood what had happened.

"Can we talk in private?" he asked, pointing to the sitting area in the adjacent room of the ward.

Jonathan nodded and tucked Bethany in before following Nikolas out.

As soon as the door closed behind them, Nikolas couldn't help but tease, "Jonathan, what did you do to Bethany? How long has she been sleeping?"

Jonathan, who was not one to discuss such private matters with anyone, pointedly ignored these questions.

The only reason he had been able to say those words to Bethany earlier was because he had mentally prepared himself for a long time.

Clearing his throat, he asked, "Why do you ask?"

“Why are you blushing?" Nikolas continued teasing, not wanting to let go of this opportunity. Chuckling while pointing at Jonathan's red ear, he asked, "I'm right, aren't I? How many times did you do it?"

Masking the embarrassment he felt Jonathan frowned and asked, "Do you have something to say or not?"

“Why do you keep dodging the question?" Nikolas‘ lips curled into a smirk. “As a man, I can understand. You know, I haven't been able to satisfy my desire for a long time. If I had a beautiful woman with me now, she would definitely be in Bethany's state!"

Jonathan looked at Nikolas. "So you molested Aimee?"

Nikolas was fuming mad at the accusation.

"Damn it! She was the one who came to bother me first. I just wanted to teach her a lesson. Besides, by her looks, she's not my type."

"She's a friend of Bethany's. Keep your hands off her."
