Second Wife of CEO Paralyzed
Headstrong

"Nathan?!"

Vivian and Marissa both called out one name, Nathan. Because the one who protected Vivian from Marissa's brutal actions was Nathan. The young man used his back to protect Vivian, not even he cared about the unpleasant smell coming from those rotten eggs and tomatoes.

Nathan and Vivian stared at each other for a while. Their different-colored eyes locked onto each other, making the hearts of both of them beat fast. But that eye contact ended when Nathan turned around and approached Marissa.

PLAKK...

The hard slap landed smoothly on Marissa's cheek, so hard it made the girl's face turn sideways. Who else would have done it if it wasn't Nathan. And of course it surprised everyone there. Including Vivian.

"Nathan, why did you slap me?" Marissa asked while holding her cheek.

"You're getting too outrageous, I thought you wanted to be a good girl at first. That's why I didn't refuse when you wanted to be friends with me, but it turns out you are like this?! You're really terrible, Marissa. I'm honestly sorry I ever had a friend like you!!"

Brugg...

Suddenly Mario approached Nathan and hit him hard. Too surprised and suddenly, Nathan's body fell on the ground.

Not just one time Mario hit him, but up to three times. Making Nathan's lips peel and bleed. And his dried-up wound opened up again.

And in the fourth blow, Nathan just reacted. He held Mario's head and hit him. The young man fell down with just one punch from Nathan. Even Mario did not have the strength to reply. And finally she cried to her mother.

"Huaa.. Mami, your son was hit by a delinquent. It hurts so much, you're tired of living. You don't know who I am yet, I will definitely complain to my papi let him punish a dirty and sinful man like you!!"

"Currently, a coward dared to look for trouble with me!! And you're Marissa, this is your last warning. Once again you dare to touch let alone hurt Vivian, then you will face me. Vi, let's get out of here." Nathan grabs Vivian's hand and takes her away from campus.

In the middle of his steps, Nathan takes off his dirty jacket and throws it into a garbage can. Everyone stared at the departure of the two of them with various gazes that were difficult to explain.

.

Here they are now. Vivian took Nathan home. All over Nathan's body is dirty and smells bad because of rotten eggs and tomatoes. While waiting for Nathan to finish cleaning his body, Vivian prepared a box of P3K, the wound in-pelipisnya back open due to Mario's punch earlier.

The sound of the door opening caught his attention. Nathan came out of the bathroom fully clothed, jeans and an open-sleeved black shirt. The clothes Nathan bought on the way to Vivian's house earlier.

"Where's the trash?"

"Why are you looking for a dumpster?" Ask Vivian. Nathan showed me his white pants and t-shirt. "Let's put it in a dirty laundry basket. Let me wash later,"

"No need, let me throw it away." Nathan won't bother Vivian. After all, they were just friends, so it was not good for Nathan to let the girl wash her dirty clothes.

"It's okay. Instead of being thrown away, baby, let alone you buy it with money, not with leaves. Just put it down, there's no need to feel bad. Aren't we friends,"

With little coercion from Vivian, Nathan finally agrees to let the girl wash her clothes. Yes, although Vivian did not wash it herself because the girl always brought her clothes to the laundry, but still Nathan felt bad.

"Sit down, I'll treat your wound."

"Bech,"

Nathan grimaced in pain as the cotton in Vivian's hand touched the peeling wound at the corner of her lips. Nathan's reflexes clasped Vivian's wrists, resulting in eye contact between the two. In a hurry Vivian ended the eye contact while pulling her hand held by Nathan.

"A..I'll do it more slowly" Vivian said, hiding her nervousness. Not only was Vivian feeling nervous, but Nathan was too. A faint red hue appeared on both Nathan's cheeks.

After applying the wound medicine, then Vivian covered it with a bandage. His old wounds just dried and even opened again due to the actions of Mario earlier.

"I'll prepare lunch. If you feel dizzy from the blow earlier, you can rest here or maybe in another room, no need to hesitate because only I live here."

"What do you want to cook?" Nathan got up from his seat and walked over to Vivian.

The girl shook her head. "Either, maybe just make pasta and egg rolls only. I'm out of groceries, I just happen to have no time to shop this month." The answer.

"Then I'll help you."

"No need, I can do it myself. You just stay here and rest. I know your head must be dizzy, let alone Mario hitting you with all his might."

"Don't be stubborn, I'll help you!!"

"Obviously you are stubborn, unwilling to obey and always at will. If I tell you to take a break, don't argue. After all you are a patient now, you must obey the person who takes care of you!!"

Nathan grunts amusedly. "Why are you getting so bad, Mao?! And don't treat me like an emergency patient. It's just an old open wound. So don't overdo it!!" Nathan said. He really did not like being set up like this.

"Huft, it's up to you. You stubborn man!!"

Marissa became the center of attention of the people around her because of her circumstances. Even people choose to leave when they cross paths with him. They could not bear the unpleasant scent emanating from his body.

There was no taxi or bus that he wanted to take. Marissa had to walk. "Uhh, you slovenly woman. Why is he wandering around with such a disgusting body scent?!"

"Basic is not ashamed!! Beautiful but slovenly, eeeuuhhh... I want to puke!!"

Marissa was silent to those people. Though he was eager to tear and gag their mouths one by one. But if he did, he could even be their moons let alone he was alone.

"Damn!! It's all because of that shitty girl. Why do I always lose to him, what makes him always luckier than me?!" Marissa growled furiously, she was upset herself.

An old car suddenly stopped in front of Marissa. And the person inside that is Mario. Mario asks Marissa to ride but the girl rejects him and instead insults him.

"Marissa, quickly go up. I'll take you home."

"Currently, I don't want to. Instead of riding in your butut car, I'd better walk. After all not level a girl like me riding in your dilapidated car!! Go and stop bothering me!!" Marissa refused and left. But Mario still did not give up, he was chasing after Marissa.

"Marissa, wait!!"
