Chapter 181 - I Don't Work For That



Cassandra and Nathan were on their way to the former\'s hospital room after going to the hospital garden for some fresh air.

It was still early in the morning and the fine weather tempted Cassandra to leave her room. After Nathan protested for a while, he finally gave in and took her to the hospital garden which was just next to the building.

"I prefer you to have complete rest so that you could recover soon. You shouldn\'t move around too much," Nathan Woo said to Cassandra. Though his voice was calm, there was a hint of concern in it.

"I will be fine in a day or two," Cassandra Lim simply said and glanced at her lover who was walking right beside her. "Since when did you tend to over worry? It didn\'t suit you."

Nathan Woo frowned. "If you were in my place, I\'m sure that you will do the same."

"I will surely order my men to lock you up so that you can\'t leave your room," Cassandra promptly responded and this made Nathan laughed.

"That means you have no right to complain," Nathan said as he shook his head in amusement.

"What do you want for breakfast?"

When he received no response, Nathan looked at Cassandra who was distracted by something. "What are you looking at?" he asked and his eyes trailed in the direction where she was looking. However, he saw nothing.

"What did you say?" Cassandra shifted her gaze to Nathan when she heard him. Then she quickly turned back to the direction where she was looking at before. She thought that she saw someone. Was she wrong?

After spending some time with Cassandra, Nathan left the hospital. He didn\'t want to leave Cassandra alone but he had to briefly meet with someone. He told Cassandra that he will be back in two hours. Besides, Jaxon already appointed some of the most capable men from the Moyan to stand guard at the door. Cassandra should be fine.

Even after Nathan left, Cassandra was still bothered by what she saw a while ago. After spending a few minutes in confusion, she decided to just check it out. Uncertainty was one of the few things which the Moyan Boss truly hated.

She walked out of her room and walked towards a certain room which was just three rooms away from hers. Standing near the door, she glanced at the interior of the room through the glass portion of the door.

The moment she had a clear look at the man inside, her eyes grew wide. She wasn\'t mistaken? It\'s really him! When the doubt she had crossed her mind, she quickly opened the door and entered the room without thinking twice.

When the door was suddenly opened, the young man who was sitting on the bed darted his eyes to it. When he saw Cassandra\'s face, amazement was written all over his face!

"You! Why are you here?" It was Mathias who uttered the words in shock. However, when he saw her wearing the hospital gown, he started to understand but... how did she know to come here?!

"It\'s really you. I thought that I was just mistaken when I saw you enter this room in the morning," Cassandra said as she walked towards Mathias. She stood in front of him and glanced down at him. "You get hurt? You were fine yesterday."

Did he really let her go? She wanted to ask him this but somehow, she felt reluctant. Besides, why was he suddenly admitted to a hospital? A possibility crossed her mind but... it won\'t be.

Why would he release her if he was to suffer for it?

"Leave. It\'s none of your business," Mathias said, bluntly. 

"This is strange. I was rescued yesterday and in a normal case, shouldn\'t you try to catch me again now that I show up before you?" Cassandra paused and said, "But you told me to leave. Maybe I was right. You really let me go on purpose."

Mathias quickly stood up when he heard her. Then his face turned darkened. "Don\'t talk nonsense and just leave. Do you want to suffer again?"

The sudden and rapid movement of his body worsened the pain in his chest and he quickly holds his chest and bent in pain.

Once again, the door was opened and Alan, who was Mathias friend and subordinate walked in. "Mathias, the doctor said that... " His voice trailed off when he saw the presence of a familiar face in the room. When he recognized her, his eyes grew wide.

That woman whom Mathias released?! Why was she here?!

He quickly shifted his attention to his friend when he saw him holding his chest in pain. Then he rushed to his side and hold him. "Are you alright?" he asked with concern.

"I\'m fine," Mathias muttered and attempt to stand straight. "Let her leave."

Hearing him, Alan shifted his gaze to Cassandra and stood in front of her. "You should leave. Don\'t come here again."

Like a stubborn woman she was, Cassandra still glanced at Mathias. "Weren\'t you hired to abduct me and make me speak? Why did you do that? If you didn\'t finish your job, you won\'t get anything."

Mathias finally withdrew his hand from his chest after he heard her. "You are wrong, Miss Lim. Money? I don\'t work for that. Who knows? I might even have much more wealth than you."

"Then why?" Cassandra asked. This bothered her ever since Nathan came for her and she was adamant to get the answer.

Alan slowly walked towards the door when he noticed something. When he opened the door and observed outside, he raised a brow and quickly shut it again. Then he turned to his friend who was about to respond to the Moyan Boss.

"It\'s the Prime Minister!" He uttered, panicked.

Mathias darted his eyes to his friend. Then his face grew anxious in the blink of an eye!

"We don\'t have time," Alan muttered and quickly grabbed Cassandra\'s hand. If Peter Jung saw the Moyan Boss here, everything will be over. Putting this in mind, he shoved Cassandra towards the bathroom which was on the left of the room.

"Please don\'t make any noise. If not, we will be all dead," he said to the Moyan Boss and closed the door in a hurry.

The moment the bathroom door was shut, the door to Mathias hospital room was opened and Peter Jung walked inside. Both Mathias and Alan bowed at the sight of the Prime Minister.

Mathias briefly glanced at the door and noticed that Daniel Gu and another guard were standing outside. Then he understood why the Prime Minister wished to talk to him alone but... with Cassandra hiding just a few steps away, it wasn\'t a good time. However, he didn\'t have a say.

"Give us some privacy," Peter Jung said to Alan who was standing near the bathroom. The latter bowed again and quickly walked out of the room.

Mathias was still standing in his place and Peter Jung made his way to him. "Don\'t keep standing, Mathias. You are a patient."

With that said, Mathias nodded and sat on the bed. "What brings you here?"

Peter Jung took a seat on the bench next to the bed and looked at the young man. "What other else would my reason be? I came to visit you."

Cassandra who was hiding in the bathroom was quite surprised by Peter Jung\'s words. Why would the Prime Minister came all the way to the hospital just to visit someone whom he hired for some bad deeds? Besides, judging from his words, it seemed like he cared about the young man. Was her assumption before... wrong?

"You don\'t have to come," Mathias muttered.

When Peter Jung saw Mathias in the hospital gown, what he did yesterday crossed his mind and he shut his eyes. "Did you hate me?" he asked Mathias as he opened his eyes again.

"What?" Mathias blurted out with a flustered face and blinked. "No. That\'s absurd."

"I\'m sorry for yesterday, Mathias," Peter Jung promptly said in a calm voice. "I shouldn\'t lose control and torment you like that."

"I\'m fine, uncle. I\'m sorry for letting you down," Mathias responded. Though he tried his best to be calm, he could barely hide his amazement. It\'s not every day that Peter Jung apologized!

Meanwhile, Cassandra could felt her jaw dropped to the floor! Her assumption on how he got hurt was right. It was indeed the Prime Minister\'s doing but... the young man was his nephew?!

She recalled how just one abrupt movement worsened Mathias injury. Peter Jung torment him to that extent despite Mathias being his nephew?!
