Chapter 14
Josephine hurried to the front lines with the main group, her eyes anxiously searching through the ruins.
She didn’t know how much time had passed before she finally spotted the man’s figure beside an abandoned truck.
The man was lifted onto a stretcher, and after just a few steps, the mask on his face fell off.
Kathryn exclaimed, “Oh my god, he’s so handsome!”
Josephine lowered her head.
The moment she saw the man’s face clearly, her breath stopped instantly!
Nathaniel…
It really was him!
At the same time, Nathaniel opened his eyes on the stretcher.
Seeing Josephine beside him, he grabbed her wrist without hesitation, his voice trembling with the shock of survival: “Josephine, don’t g
go…
Kathryn’s eyes widened, “You two know each other?!”
Josephine didn’t know how to explain.
She struggled hard, but Nathaniel’s grip felt like shackles embedded in her flesh, impossible to shake off.
The two of them returned to the camp in this strange posture.
Josephine wanted to leave, but Nathaniel stubbornly refused, insisting

that only she treat his wounds.
Even Kathryn was left helpless in the end.
“Josie, just help him out, for the sake of his good looks!”

Josephine was practically forced to stay.
She silently fetched the medical kit and treated his wounds without saying a single word.
It wasn’t until Nathaniel called her name that she suddenly pressed down hard on his wound with a burst of anger!
Nathaniel gasped in pain!
But Josephine still wasn’t satisfied.
She thought she had already let go.
But seeing Nathaniel’s face, she couldn’t help but recall those humiliating memories nailed to the pillar of shame.
She had trusted Nathaniel so much, but how had Nathaniel treated her?
He sent out her private videos to humiliate her, had his friends torture her with pepper spray, and even stood by as a bystander when she was kidnapped…
How could someone like that come back to look for her?
Josephine’s grip grew heavier and heavier, until beads of sweat from the pain broke out on Nathaniel’s forehead, and only then did she finally let
- go.
“The wound is bandaged. I’m leaving.”

Josephine turned away without hesitation.

But suddenly, Nathaniel stood up, grabbed her wrist like a madman, and pinned her down on the bed.
Josephine was startled, “Nathaniel, what are you doing!”
Nathaniel’s voice was restrained, oblivious to the blood seeping from his wound, “Josephine, come back with me. I’ve already broken up with Dorothy. When we return to New York, I’ll throw you a grand wedding!”
Josephine met his gaze directly, her eyes cold and indifferent.
After a long moment, she murmured:
“What makes you think I would go back with you?”
“The Josephine who once loved you deeply is already dead, killed by your own hands.”
“Nathaniel, if you had suffered the same pain, would you choose to forgive?”
Nathaniel’s body trembled violently.
He wanted to argue.
But recalling all he had done to Josephine, he couldn’t utter a single
word.
Josephine pried Nathaniel’s hand off her, speaking each word clearly: “The Dawn Initiative will take a long time. I won’t leave, and you don’t need to waste your time here.”
“Nathaniel, I don’t like you anymore, and I don’t intend to keep hating you. I just wish I’d never met you.”
Josephine pushed Nathaniel away, and he staggered, collapsing onto the

He struggled to get up, but the pain from his injuries made him groan, and he gritted his teeth, “I don’t expect your forgiveness, but I won’t let you go. Now that I’ve found you, don’t even think about disappearing from my world again!”
Josephine didn’t spare Nathaniel a glance and turned to leave.
She thought that after this, Nathaniel would stop bothering her.
But the next day, on her way to the bathroom, Josephine was suddenly grabbed and had her mouth and nose covered by several people, and she fainted on the spot!
When she woke up again, she was already back in New York.
