Chapter 22
Nathaniel stared at the top of her head, so focused and serious, and a dense pain spread through his chest.
So this is what it feels like to be overlooked.
So this is what it feels like to watch the one you love treat someone else kindly.
The sour jealousy was almost enough to drown him.
Nathaniel forced a smile and withdrew his hand, pretending not to care.
“Alright, it’s just a minor injury, nothing serious. I only had a drink, I’m fine. If you keep an eye on me from now on, nothing will happen to me.”
“Mm–hmm.” Genevieve nodded, “I’ll remember.”
Yet when it came time to serve food, she only paid attention to giving Derrick the dishes he liked, completely ignoring Nathaniel sitting beside her.
“Derrick, I remember this is your favorite. Have some more.”
“Thank you, Genny. You like shrimp, let me peel some for you.”

The two of them exchanged words back and forth, like a loving couple, completely shutting
Nathaniel out.
Just then, someone passing by couldn’t help but comment, “Look at that couple, they’re so close. Why would they bring the brother along on a date?”
It was obvious who the couple and the brother referred to.
Nathaniel stared at Genevieve, his whole body radiating a bone–chilling cold, the anger in his heart steadily building.
“Enough.” He said darkly, grabbing Genevieve’s hand just as she was about to serve Derrick more food.

“Genny, you’re so good to him. Do you still remember that I’m your boyfriend?”
Genevieve glanced at him, finding his words inexplicable.
“Of course I remember. What are you talking about? I’m only nice to Derrick because he’s going to donate a kidney to you. We owe him a lot, so I just want to make it up to him. Don’t take it to heart.”
“That’s right, Mr. Weston, there’s nothing between me and Genny.” Derrick nodded in agreement.
Derrick was already calling her Genny so intimately!
How could there be nothing between them?
Nathaniel’s jealousy completely overflowed, but because Derrick was going to donate a kidney to him, he had no way to vent it.
After all, if he missed out on Derrick, there was no guarantee he could find another suitable donor before his condition worsened.
There was no other way. In order to survive, he had to endure.
Everything he had said and done in his previous life was now coming back to him like a boomerang, striking him right between the eyes.
Nathaniel was utterly helpless. He took a deep breath, struggling to maintain his composure.
The meal finally came to an end. He found it tasteless, but still finished eating.
Just as he was about to get up and leave, the chandelier above suddenly shook and came crashing down toward the three of them.
“Genny!” “Genny!”
Two completely different voices called out in unison, both rushing toward Genevieve at the same time.
Genevieve had anticipated it and immediately threw herself over Derrick.
Nathaniel was hit directly, his head and shoulders pierced by countless shards of glass, blood soaking his clothes until they were stained red.
The dense fragments of glass embedded in his body were enough to make anyone’s heart race
