Nathaniel turned to Christina. “Let’s go.”

Christina nodded in agreement.

Following that, Nathaniel carried her out of the hut in a bridal carry.

Right then, the interior and exterior of the small courtyard were both crowded.

Standing in the courtyard were the bodyguards Nathaniel brought with him. The twenty to thirty men formed a

circle, defensively barricading the native villagers outside who held agricultural tools in their

hands.

Miriam and Vito stood right in front of the group of villagers.

The tense atmosphere gave Christina the impression that both parties were geared up to fight anytime.

Nonetheless, the villagers were undoubtedly no match for the trained bodyguards.

Anyhow, that was none of her concern.

He saved me, so give him some money,” she murmured when they had gone some distance away, reaking her

silence.

Okay.” Nathaniel cast a look at Sebastian beside him.

Grasping his meaning. Sebastian lugged out a box filled with a million in cash. He promptly whirled round and made

his way back, stopping before Vito.

n front of everyone, he opened the box and stated in a moderate volume, “Here’s a million. It’s from Mr. Hadley in

thanks for saving Mrs. Hadley.”

1 million?

Sheer shock swamped the villagers present when they heard that.

Vito took the box in a daze. Beside him, Miriam felt as though she was dreaming.

“So much money? We’re rich now!” someone cheered, being the first to gather his wits around him.

Thereafter, the rest of the people also snapped back to their senses.

As soon as Miriam noticed that the eyes of everyone around her brimmed with greed after seeing the money, she

cursed soundlessly, knowing that one should never disclose one’s wealth.

She hastily pushed Vito into the house.

When the villagers saw her reaction, resentment brewed within them.

They all felt that she could never have held Christina captive without their help back then.

As such, a share of the money was clearly theirs.

Pregnant?” Surprise flooded Nathaniel.

Yes. It’s a miracle that the baby could survive though Mrs. Hadley fell into the sea!” Verily, the hospital lirector was

astounded by the baby who had such vitality.

Despite being the father of two children, Nathaniel was not involved in Christina’s pregnancy and delivery in the

past.

Thus, he was as excited as a first-time father then.

No sooner had the hospital director left than he whipped out his phone to search for information on taking care of a

pregnant woman and newborn baby.

When Christina woke up and turned her head to the side, she was greeted by the sight of Nathaniel wholly focused

on a book on the couch.

There was a tall stack of books in front of him.

“A Novice Dad’s Guide?” Staring at the cover of the book in the man’s hand, she read the title aloud.

At her voice, Nathaniel instantly placed the book in his hand down and hastened over to her. “You’re awake? Do you

feel any discomfort anywhere?”

In response, Christina shook her head. “What were you reading?”

Her gaze pointedly went to the book he placed on the coffee table.

A flash of embarrassment flittered across Nathaniel’s face before he declared jubilantly, “You’re pregnant,

Christina! I’m going to be a father again!”
