Chapter 1369 Unexpected Apologies
While they engaged in conversation, they heard a knock on the door. Due to the
concussion, Halma dared not move, so Olivia went to answer the door. When she saw Jade
standing at the entrance, she was momentarily taken aback.
"Olivia? You're here too?"
She finally reacted. "Uh… Jade, what brings you here?"
Jade seemed awkward and said, "I came to see Halma."
Olivia could tell that she did not come to cause trouble, so she let her in.
Meanwhile, Halma had also heard Jade's voice. Just as she tried to brace herself mentally,
Jade had already entered the room. "Halma, how are you?"
Nervous, Halma struggled to sit up.
Jade hurriedly supported her. "Don't move. Please stay still. I heard you were hospitalized,
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtso I came to check on you."
Halma remained silent and stared at Jade nervously, wondering if she had found out about
her rekindled relationship with Nathan and if she was here to blame her for taking him
away.
Jade sighed and said, "Nathan didn't want me to come. He said I wasn't sincere enough to
come and apologize after everything had happened, but I came anyway because I felt
guilty. The last time I came to you, it was indeed due to my one-sided consideration as a
mother. Under Ace's influence, I also believed that a marriage between two people of the
same background was more likely to last, especially for the company's development.
However, in doing so, I overlooked your and Nathan's feelings. I never expected him to be
so resolute. He burned all bridges and completely cut ties with us. His decisiveness scared
me. Actually, I somewhat understand my son. He's not the most mature individual and
often loses interest in things quickly, but I never expected him to harbor such deep
feelings for you. Of course, I wasn't aware of all that happened between you two.
Otherwise, I wouldn't have said such things to you. If I had known, I wouldn't have spoken
like that. Although it might sound shameless to ask for forgiveness, I still want to say it.
Considering I also have his best interests in mind, Halma, please don't hold it against me,
alright?"
Halma was taken aback by her sincerity. Despite being hurt by her interference, Jade now
sat before her and apologized genuinely. She could not find any words of blame at that
moment, saying, "Mrs. Baker, there's no need for you to worry about it. I haven't blamed
you."
"Thank you." Jade held Halma's hand. "If you don't forgive me, I can assure you that my
son won't forgive me either."
Halma responded, "I promise you he won't. He's been busy these days. When he has the
time, he'll return to you."

"Okay. Come back together when you two have time," Jade said, glancing toward Olivia,
who was at the side. "How's she? I heard she was beaten up by Lexie."
Nodding, Olivia truthfully recounted the events that had happened at noon. Even so,
Jade's face showed obvious disgust. "How can that girl look so gentle and elegant yet do
such shameless things?"
Olivia added, "Not only is she shameless, but she is also malicious. When all the evidence
was presented, and she couldn't defend herself, she even tried to drag Nathan down and
break his relationship with Halma. I can only say she's one vengeful woman!"
Jade was taken aback for a moment and sighed remorsefully. "I thought I knew her well."
As she spoke, she retrieved a bank card from her pocket and handed it to Halma. "Halma,
this is a little gift from me. You can have it, and I sincerely hope you get along well with
Nathan from now on."
Realizing it was a bank card, Halma hurriedly pushed it back. "No thanks, Mrs. Baker. I can
earn money myself. While I may not earn as much as you do, it's enough for me to support
myself. This is unnecessary."
