Chapter 523
Thea followed Nathan into the bedroom.
In the bedroom, there hung a wedding photo of Nathan and Isabella, with both of them gazing affectionately at
each other. The gentle and passionate look in Nathan's eyes was something Thea had never seen before.
She stared at the photo, lost in thought... The photo of Nathan gave her an illusion, as if he had once loved her
deeply, deeply.
At that moment, Nathan suddenly let out a cry. Thea immediately turned her head and saw Nathan clutching his
chest, his face contorted in pain, curled up on the ground groaning.

The ambulance arrived quickly. Amidst the chaos, Thea took the opportunity to sneak around in various corners
of the Hill Manor.
She wanted to find sclues that could help her retrieve her memories.
But she entered the wrong room and accidentally barged into Nathan's father’s study. Luckily, she was in stealth
mode and Nathan's father didn’t notice her.
She heard Nathan's father urgently shouting into the

Darling, you don’t have to wait fortoday.”
“But today is my birthday. | could accommodate you at any other time, but today you must cand
accompany me. Honey, if you don’t come, then | will jump off the building to show you. | want to know, who is
more important to you, your son or me.”
“Be good, don’t make a fuss.”
“I didn’t make a scene. | have been with you for so many years, and you can neither givea status nor be by
my side. Can you justify yourself to me?”
“I know | let you down. In the next life, | will definitely make it up to you.”
“Whoever wants the next life, | want this life. If you don’t come, just wait to collect my corpse.”
The other party hung up the phone.
Nathan's father rubbed his forehead in pain, sighed, and resignedly picked up the car keys before heading
downstairs.
Thea felt that the Hill Manor was very lively at the moment, so’ she followed along to see what was happening.
Nathan's father made an excuse to the disheveled Nathan's
mother, “Darling, there’s suddenly a situation at the company, and | need to go for a while. Nathan will be in
your care.”

Nathan's father’s face instantly changed, “Son, it's not as serious as you say. It was just that his daughter-in-law
died, causing him temporary physical discomfort due to excessive grief. Don’t exaggerate.”
Nathan's father left with a cold face after he finished speaking.
Nathan’s mother went crazy behind him, saying, “If you dare to take a step out of this house, you will not be
allowed to cback in the future.”
Nathan's father did not answer her; instead, his footsteps beceven lighter.
Nathan was taken to the hospital for examination, and soon the doctor sent over the conclusion.
Mr. Nathan suffered from premature aging. There was no available prescription to address this condition
temporarily. The only option was to slow down the progression of the disease through treatment.
Nathan’s mother sat down on the bench upon hearing the words, her whole body stiff as if wearing a rigid corset,
and her face was terrifyingly frozen. Her lips moved, but she couldn't say anything.
“Premature aging?” Thea muttered the dreadful nof the disease, feeling an inexplicable annoyance in her
heart.
“How could it be premature aging?” Nathan’s mother asked the doctor.

The doctor patiently explained, “It is possible that Mr. Hill becoverwhelmed with grief after his wife's death,
so his body started showing abnormalities.”
Thea, “..."”
Did he really love her that much?
Thea drifted into Nathan's ward, only to find that Victoria had already arrived at spoint. She was dressed in
an exquisite outfit, deliberately adorning herself, appearing elegant and luxurious.
“Nathan, what's wrong with you?” Victoria asked with great
concern.
Nathan lamented with a heavy heart, “Bella has left, and Kassidy has also left. What meaning is there forto
live?”
Victoria suddenly reached out and grabbed Nathan's hand. “She’s gone, but you're still alive. You have to think
about your mother and father. You can’t give up on yourself.”
Victoria seemed to gather her courage and said, “Nathan, in this world, it’s not only Isabella who loved you. |
love you too. Isabella is gone, but you still have me, right?”
Nathan suddenly pushed her roughly, saying, “Victoria, please have sself-respect. Although we were once
in love, since | married Isabella, | will only be devoted to her.”
Nathan’s mother burst in suddenly and intervened forcefully, saying, “Nathan, you have now developed
premature aging, and the doctor says you will soon lose your ability to take care of yourself. Victoria doesn’t

expecting your mother to serve you porridge? | gave birth to you, raised you, and now | have to support you in
your old age. How can you burdenlike this? How can you have the audacity?”
Nathan's mother’s words were truly offensive.
Nathan's lips moved slightly, and he let out a sigh in the end.
“Mother, don’t worry, even if | couldn't take care of myself in life, | would never burden you.”
“You speak nicely,” Nathan’s mother walked over and placed Nathan and Victoria's hands together, “I can only
feel at ease when you two are together.”
Nathan broke free from Victoria's mother’s control and said, “Mother, please give your son a little dignity.”
Nathan’s mother suddenly went crazy, “You have no shame, no self-respect. Don’t | deserve any? Look at what
happened to you today. Did your father even cto see you for a moment?”
“I told you, your father had long abandoned your mother. He had another family outside. Mom had wanted to
confront him long ago, but for the sake of your career, | have been enduring the humiliation and living a life of
compromise.”
Nathan’s mother said, crying uncontrollably, “But do you know how I got through it? | was going crazy.”
Nathan's face turned pale, and after this blow, his hair started graying at a visible speed. The wrinkles at the
corners of his eyes were clearly visible.

Nathan, a grown man, reluctantly succumbed to the harsh reality and said, “I'm sorry, Mom. | promised you that
| would marry Victoria.”
Nathan’s mother felt relieved.
“Nathan, that’s right. With Victoria taking care of you, Mom can relax.”
Nathan's mother stumbled out of Nathan's hospital room.
There were only Nathan and Victoria left in the ward.
Nathan looked deeply apologetic at Victoria and said, “Victoria, my condition would only burden you.”
Victoria said with red eyes, “Nathan, you cured my illness. Now that you are sick, it's my turn to take care of
you.”
Victoria was half kneeling on the ground, saying, “Nathan, marry me.”
“Victoria, you should know that my heart only belongs to Bella. | didn’t love you. It was unfair for you to marry
me.”
Victoria said, “Nathan, | am not upset. I really am not upset.”
After speaking, Victoria unexpectedly leaned forward and offered her lips.
Nathan stepped back and unexpectedly slapped Victoria across the face with his hand. Nathan was clearly angry
and said with a hint of annoyance, “Victoria, Bella was your sister. She hasn't even been laid to rest, and yet

Victoria cried in humiliation. “I just loved you too much. Nathan, | have always loved you. Even after you married
Isabella, | couldn't forget about you.”
Nathan was shocked.
Seemingly realizing something, his fist suddenly clenched, “Victoria, | have only one question for you, does Bella
know about this?”
Victoria stammered, “My love for you was so passionate, her sensitive nature. How could one not feel it?”
Nathan went crazy in an instant, pushing Victoria away. “Every tyou accompanyon business trips with
such honesty, every tyou pretend to be righteous and send food to Kassidy... Do you know it only worsens
her illness?”
Nathan, with red eyes, pointed at Victoria and roared, “I treated you like a sister-in-law, yet you had such wicked
thoughts towards me. Did you kill my Bella?”
Nathan broke down and cried, “I thought you coming to my house would make Bella happier. Turns out, | have
been inviting trouble.”
