Chapter 207
As the footsteps neared the hospital room, Nathan abruptly raised his voice, “I just don’t get it. You’re nowhere near as gorgeous as Nathalie. And your manners? It’s just plain tacky. How do you even compare to Nathalie’s elegance? Mr. Cameron must be blind to mistake gravel for gem.”
Greta had always been a star performer. She couldn’t stand the thought of being outdone by someone she considered beneath her. She snapped back, “Mr. Nathan, you know nothing about me or Nellie. You have no right to judge us.”

Greta watched, wide–eyed, as Nathan and Nathalie exchanged looks full of genuine affection. Nathan’s gaze wrapped around Nathalie,, full of warmth and devotion.
She felt a wave of embarrassment, having arrogantly assumed Nathalie was just a tool for Nathan. She even tried to set Nathan against Nathalie… ridiculous.
“Mr. Nathan, you’re still young and naive about the harsh realities of business. I’m Mrs. Dawson, and by crossing me, you’ve just made a formidable enemy in the business world…” Clearly, Greta couldn’t accept being overshadowed by Nathalie in Nathan’s eyes and was trying

didn’t even glance her way, his eyes still tenderly fixed on Nathalie. Nathalie stood there, casually dressed in a white T–shirt and black pleated skirt, with just a touch of jewelry. Yet, her simple look only highlighted her glowing skin and striking features, leaving Nathan awestruck.
Nathalie focused on unpacking the food container, revealing simple dishes like chicken soup, garlic zucchini, and shredded pork in sauce–all comfort foods from home.

Nathan frowned. Even though he was injured, he still craved rich, flavorful meals.
Greta seized the moment. “Nel, why are you giving Mr. Nathan such plain food? You’re not really trying, are you?”
