Nathaniel was feeling increasingly insecure.
If she met other outstanding men outside, would she still love him with the same conviction?
If she stayed out for too long, would she gradually be drawn to other things and slowly forget about him?
He was just like Genevieve in his previous life, who anxiously awaited his return–constantly torn between hope and fear.
Nathaniel tried hard to focus on his work, but the weakness and pain in his body constantly reminded him that he needed her.
Until that day, Genevieve returned, bringing not only gifts but also a handsome, distinguished man.
In an instant, Nathaniel’s mind went blank. His sharp eyes narrowed slightly as he scrutinized the man before him with caution.
In terms of appearance, their styles were different; the man before him had a gentler, more refined demeanor, but he was no less impressive than Nathaniel.
His expression darkened inch by inch, and he asked through gritted teeth, “Genny, who is this man? Why did you bring him back?”
Genevieve noticed his jealousy but deliberately ignored it. She even took Derrick Mueller by the hand and brought him over to introduce him.
“Nate, his name is Derrick. I finally found someone with the same blood type as you. After hearing our story, he even volunteered to donate a kidney to you!”
As soon as she finished speaking, Derrick gave a slight smile, nodded gently, and extended a hand. “Hello, I’m Derrick.”
“Nathaniel,” he replied succinctly, giving Derrick’s hand a brief touch to signify a handshake.
“Nate, why are you being so cold to Derrick?” Genevieve looked at him in confusion, but said nothing more, only warmly ushered Derrick inside.

“Derrick, you’ll be staying in this room for now. While you’re waiting for the kidney transplant surgery, if you need anything, just let me know.”
Derrick’s eyes curved slightly as he smiled. “Alright, thank you for your trouble.”
As he passed by Genevieve with his suitcase, his fingers brushed lightly across her palm, seemingly unintentionally.
She acted as if she hadn’t noticed anything and showed no reaction.
But Nathaniel couldn’t ignore it.
His face instantly darkened, his thin lips pressed into a tight line, and his fists clenched tightly.
In the end, he grabbed Genevieve’s hand and pulled her aside.
“Genny, you brought Derrick back to donate a kidney to me, but why did you have to let him. stay in our home?”
Genevieve frowned, finding his behavior strange, and replied matter–of–factly, “His home isn’t here, and since he’s going to donate a kidney to you, it’s naturally more convenient for him to stay here.”
“There’s nothing between me and him. Are you jealous?”
”
..No,” Nathaniel replied, going against his true feelings.
“Don’t worry, Nate, I only like you. I brought him back because he’s going to donate a kidney to you. We already owe him a lot, so of course we should treat him well. It’s easier to take care of him and make it up to him if he stays here. Don’t overthink it.”
Hearing words like “we already owe him a lot” and “need to make it up to him,” Nathaniel’s brow twitched violently, and his voice grew heavy.
“Is it really just because he’s donating a kidney and you owe him that you’re being nice to him? Or is it because you care about him, that you’ve fallen for him?!”
Unable to control his emotions, he unconsciously tightened his grip on her hand and asked anxiously.
