hapter 34 Dianaâs pov I suddenly withdrew my thoughts, focused all my attention on the race, and caught up with him again..
I shouldnât underestimate Nathan... I silently told myself in my heart.
After about ten minutes, the race still had no clear winner.
Then came the last turn!
I immediately released the accelerator, lowered the gear, and chose the optimal route with my familiarity with the terrain.
Then I lightly pressed the accelerator and switched back to the outer lane of the curve after passing the top of the curve.
Nathan was slightly slower than me.
I pressed the accelerator hard. With centrifugal force, the car instantly unleashed its full potential and flew out.
Nathan was indeed excellent.
But he was less familiar with this track than me.
The cars crossed the finish line and I defeated Nathan by three seconds.
I unfastened the seat belt and got out of the car.
When I passed by Nathanâs car, he lowered the car window.
âItâs over,â I said to him. âYou lost.â
He stared at me directly, his emotioris complex, as if he had something more important to tell me besides the race.
After a while, he suddenly asked, âWho are you?â
âWhat?â I twisted my eyebrows and said, âDonât you know who I am?â
âNothing,â Nathan turned his head and his gaze fell on the steering wheel. âMaybe I was thinking too much.â
I didnât go into his words, only gave him a cold look.
âDonât forget our bet.â
After that, I left the field.
When I returned to the audience, they was completely silent.
As if none of them could believe that I would have won over Alpha Nathan, their expressions frozen and their mouths wide open.
Claud recovered from his shock and shouted loudly-
âImpossible! You must have cheated! Did you bribe the boss here? How could you possibly defeat Alpha Nathan! I donât believe it!â
As soon as he finished speaking, someone immediately chimed in.
âYes! We donât believe it! We demand another match.â
âAnother race! Have another race!â
Many of them bet on Nathan.
ส They even bet a lot of money because they thought the chances of winning were high.
Now their losses were huge, and everyone was trying to reverse the situation through some means.
I casually walked through the audience.
However, what surprised me was that Nathan would stand up and speak for me.
âThe game is fair and just. I lost.â
His voice was not loud, but due to Alphaâs innate aura, it was still heard by everyone.
âDiana, I will fulfill your request,â he said to me.
I didnât look back, but instead walked up to the organizer and took the sapphire brooch, pinning it on Victorâs left collar in front of everyone.
At that moment, I seemed to feel a burning gaze almost piercing my soul.
Even my wolf couldnât help but shudder.
Victor noticed my frigid gesture and hugged me into his arms.
I shook my head to sign that he didnât have to worry.
âLetâs get out of here. Iâm tired,â I said.
Victor nodded.
On the way home, I sat in the passenger seat, leaning against the window.
The evening breeze blew over my cheeks, gradually clearing my thoughts.
I started to think about the sentence Nathan said to me not long ago-
âWho are you?â
âNothing. Maybe I was thinking too much.â
What exactly did he mean?
Was he questioning my identity?
I once competed with him on the road in terms of driving skills. Did he discover my identity?
âWhat are you thinking?â Victor asked while driving.
âIâm thinking about Nathan.â
And I realized thatâs might make Victor misunderstand and explained, âWhat I mean is, Iâm thinking about what Nathan has just said.â
I told Victor about my doubts.
âSo are you worried that Nathan might know youâre Healer?â
âIt canât be called a worry.â I turned my head and looked out of the car window. âI just feel that thereâs no need to let those irrelevant know about my identity as Healer. It will only add to the trouble. Moreover, if he finds out that Iâm Healer, he might even think Iâm trying to harm Avia.â
I wrung my lips sarcastically.
About twenty minutes later, the car stopped at the entrance of the villa.
âThank you for driving me back. Be careful when you drive.
I unfastened my seat belt and prepared to get off the car.
Victor suddenly grabbed my wrist.
âJust now, when you said you were thinking about Nathan, I was upset at the moment.â
I pursed my lips and didnât know what to say.
Victor continued, âDiana, itâs been a year now. Do you still like Alpha Nathan?â
âI donât,â I blurted out, faster than I thought I could.
âItâs okay. Itâs okay, Diana. You can take your time.â
Victorâs voice paused slightly, and his grip on my wrist tightened slightly.
He stared at me and said in a gentle voice, âBut I hope you can occasionally pay attention to others. For example... me.â
âVictor...â
âDiana, Iâve always liked you. Iâve liked you since we were children. You know it, right?â
I dared not look into Victorâs eyes, âIâm sorry.â
Victor stopped and looked at me sadly.
But I knew I had to express my ideas clearly.
I couldnât let him continue to waste time on me.
This was not fair to him.
âVictor, I have always regarded you as a close friend.â
âWe grew up together, studied together, went through hardships together... Why donât you just like me?â
I couldnât answer him.
Love was difficult to explain.
For example, when I met Nathan, was it just because of Mate that I fell in love with him?
Maybe part of, but it wasnât the only reason.
!!
âNever mind. Forget it.â Victor released me with a gentle enough smile. âIf answering this question would bother you, then I donât need an answer.â Victor looked down at his watch, âItâs almost twelve oâclock, go back to restâ
I didnât say much, got off the car and returned to my room.
The maid came in and asked if I needed to have some midnight snack.
1 shook my head.
âBy the way, Miss, I have something happy to tell you.â The maid looked excited, âLionel has already learned how to crawl.â
I was very shocked.
Most babies could crawl when they were seven months, but Lionel only needed three months.
This was amazing!
âIâll go see him,â I said excitedly.
The maid followed behind me, âBut Lionel is already asleep.â
âItâs okay. Iâm just going to take a look and wonât wake him up,â I stopped and said to the maid, âYou donât need to be with me.â
After the maid left, I pushed the door open.
A sleeping light was on in the room, and it was dim.
I sat by Lionelâs cradle, quietly watching his face.
The little guy slept soundly with a sweet smile on his lips, probably having some beautiful dreams.
I leaned down and lightly kissed his forehead.
However, the moment I stood up straight, my smile froze!
Lionel grew fast, faster than common babies.
At this moment, with the dim light, I could even see Nathan in him..
One day, it would be discovered that Lionel was Nathanâs so What Nathan do to me and Lionel when it came?
I didnât know...
But there was one thing I could be sure of.
son.
Once Avia learned about Lionelâs relationship with Nathan, she would definitely find an opportunity to harm Lionel.
She was that kind of crazy woman.
I must resolve Nathan and Aviaâs matter and get them back to the Dark Moon Pack as soon as possible.
as soon as possible.
Only in this way could my Lionel grow up safely.
The night passed quickly.
The next afternoon, while I was processing documents in the hospital office, my door was knocked on.
I said âPlease come inâ and then I saw Nathan enter my office.
He seemed to have been awake all night and he looked serious and sinister.
1 rarely saw this emotion on his face.
I put down the file and raised my eyebrows.
âWhatâs up?â I asked.
Nathanâs veins on his forehead jumped.
After a few seconds, he said, âLast night, I sent someone to examine Avia while she was sleeping. The results have come out.
I squinted slightly and said, âWhat is it?â
âYouâre right.â Nathan raised his hand to his forehead, a painful expression on his face. âAviaâs perfectly healthy.â
