Wait, She’s a Billionaire (Sheena Lawson) novel Chapter 2239

A mocking smile played on Nathaniel's lips, and it was clear that he was ridiculing himself.

"You've known me for a while now. Is there any need to be so surprised?" he asked.

Mavis was in a state of panic. Her hand, still gripping the pen, trembled uncontrollably. She did not dare pull it out, fearing it would cause more bleeding.

His lips gradually lost their color, and his brow furrowed in pain, yet he continued to smile.

"So, this is what it feels like to be wrongfully accused with no way to defend yourself. It really hurts. If you're determined to sign it, I'll accept it. Just pull out this pen and continue signing."

Mavis looked at him in disbelief. "You're completely insane!"

Nathaniel breathed heavily, his smile becoming more obsessive as his gaze grew weaker.

Seeing that he could barely stand, Mavis had no choice but to support him while calling for an ambulance.

…

Later, in the hospital for the second time that day, Nathaniel sat on the edge of the bed while medical staff disinfected and treated his wound.

Behind a privacy screen, Mavis listened to the doctor's instructions.

"The pen went deep, almost reaching the heart. Fortunately, it was treated promptly, so there wasn't excessive blood loss. Try to control your emotions in the future. Marital arguments are normal but don't resort to violence. It could be fatal next time."

Mavis replied, "It wasn't me… he did it to himself."

The doctor was shocked that Nathaniel was hurting himself in anger.

That was extreme.

He wrote in the medical record and added, "Mr. Nicholls had a serious gunshot wound before. There's a visible old scar near his heart, just two centimeters from this new injury. Please try to discourage him from risking his life like this."

The doctor assumed the gunshot wound was also self-inflicted. After all, someone capable of stabbing themselves with a pen must have had mental issues before.

Mavis was surprised. She remembered seeing Nathaniel's scarred body before, with too many wounds to distinguish. Recalling this, she felt a mix of emotions, none of them pleasant.

"I understand, doctor. I'll make sure he's careful."

After the doctor left, Mavis went around the screen to check Nathaniel's treatment.
