The Rise Of Nathalia Carter Chapter 728
Advertisement
Drake looked at Angelo and still felt that he had just met Angelo.
Angelo became more nervous when she noticed Drake's gaze. She just wanted to leave as soon as possible.
"I have classes. I should go back to school. Have a good rest, Drake!"
Drake nodded, despite the fact that weird thoughts run through his head.
Angelo was so relieved that she forced a smile and hurried out.
"Wait!" Drake's cold voice sounded again.
Angelo had to stop, taking a deep breath out of anxiety.
"What's wrong?"
Angelo just regretted coming to the hospital to visit Drake. She was on tenterhooks now.
Seeing Angelo like this, Drake finally figured out why he had the feeling of meeting Angelo recently. The person who saved him last night looked like Angelo.
Thinking of the artificial respiration, Drake's ears blushed. But he still looked calm.
He thought for a moment, picked up the newspaper, and asked, "What have you been doing this month?"
Hearing that, Angelo sweated, wondering if Drake found out she had been learning karate.
But she had always been careful, and she had asked Wade not to tell Drake about it. Drake shouldn't know it.
Angelo cautiously looked up at Drake. She didn't believe Drake know it.
"I have been at school. Sometimes I went shopping with Daisy," she said, closing her eyes.
When she opened her eyes to look at Drake only to see him frowning, desperately, she thought she was screwed this time.
But Drake was fretted when he heard Angelo being so intimated with Daisy.
He looked up at Angelo. The more he looked at him, the more he felt that he was like his savior.
"Did you go out yesterday?" Drake asked.
Angelo was stunned to hear that but soon came to herself.

She looked away. "No, I had been staying at the dormitory preparing my paper for today's speech contest," she quickly made up a lie.
Afraid of being suspected, she added, "I got the first place in the contest, Drake."
And Drake had removed his suspicion after hearing that. He nodded and said, "All right. You can leave."
It was like amnesty to Angelo. She walked out at once and closed the door.
Angelo exhaled a sigh of relief as she walked out of the hospital. She might not be able to fool Drake if he continued to press for details.

Inside the ward
Drake couldn't understand what was written in the newspaper he's holding. He lost his thought for a while. The face he saw yesterday was full inside his mind.
At this time, the door was pushed open. The attending doctor quietly came to Drake and sat down on Drake's bed. Then he took out a pen and asked, "Mr. Drake, how are you feeling now? Is there any pain you still feel?"
"No. I'm fine," Drake answered.
The doctor smiled and then stood up.
"If you don't have any sequelae, you can leave the hospital tomorrow."
People usually rested at home for a few days after being renewed for food poisoning. Drake was in the hospital just to make sure there were no other complications.
"Yeah," Drake nodded.
Seeing that, the attending doctor wanted to leave. He was scared of the cold aura Drake had, so he just wanted to leave quickly.
As he walked to the door, Drake thought of something. He put down the newspaper and asked, "Did you see the person who sent me here?"
He somehow persisted in find out his savior.
The doctor thought for a while and then nodded, "Yeah. It was a girl."

Drake's eyes grew cold as he heard that. Then he thought for a while and asked, "What does she look like?"
"Very beautiful. But I don't know how to describe her."
Drake nodded."Okay. I have nothing else to ask."
The doctor left. Drake was lost in thought again. He closed his eyes, that face appeared in his mind.
Suddenly, he opened his eyes. Angelo had Adam's apple, but his savior didn't have it.
Drake knew he thought too much. Angelo was a man, so he couldn't be the person who saved him.
Then he took his phone and called Aiken, who answered it at once.
"Mr. Drake, I'm looking for clues about your food poisoning. I believed there would be a result soon."
"Find out the person who saves me," Drake ordered and then hung up.
Aiken told others Drake's order. They started the investigation at once.

In the Hills mansion
"What happened, dad? Why is my marriage with Angelo canceled?" Stella asked Baron.
After she received the news from Nathan, she was worried and hurried home.
"You ask me? Look at them!"
Baron threw a stack of papers to Stella, who picked them up to read. The more she read, the more shocked she felt.
She crumpled up the papers in rage.
"Doris!" She said with hatred.
The Taylors had blocked the purchase channels of the company of the Hills. And they claimed that they would buy the company if the Hills didn't break off the engagement to Thorne.
Stella thought of what Doris said to her at school and then understood everything. Now she just wanted to spank Doris.
"What did Drake say about it?" Stella asked with expectation.
She thought of the words Angelo said before going abroad, thinking that Drake supported this marriage.
However, Baron became angrier after hearing that. He clenched his fists as he thought of the insult he had suffered at the Thorne' company today.
"He refused to help us, and his assistant threw the announcement of the dissolution of the marriage to us," Nathan said angrily, patting Baron's back to ease his anger.
What happened today was so embarrassing!
"No! It's impossible!"
Stella sat down on the floor, and her eyes filled with disbelief. When she thought of Angelo's handsome face, she didn't want to give up like this.
"Dad, can we keep the engagement?" She begged though she knew it was impossible.
Compared with her family interest, she was nothing.
"The engagement will break tomorrow. And you have to engage with McCoy Watts, the son of the Watts's, to make up for the loss of our company," Baron said, undeniably.

Entangled Fates Book 1 - Quantum Beginnings
“By far, the greatest danger of Artificial Intelligence is that people conclude too early that they understand it.” —Eliezer Yudkowsky Hey all, we're moving over to book 2. This content is in a state of transition. The book is now availble on Amazon (includes extra chapters): https://www.royalroad.com/amazon/B07W1534R8 Artificial intelligence was nearly mankind’s last invention. AI took off like a rocket, then when it racked up an impressive death toll, it crashed before it could blossom and took most high-tech industries with it. Resistance and fears became deep-set. Two decades after the infamous Rev. 4.6 incidents, humanity hasn’t quit dreaming of the wealth and power that could be at their fingertips. A new generation of mega-corporations rose from the ashes. When one melds a quantum computer to a barely functional mental patient as a PR move, there are those who seek to profit, those who want to destroy it, and Alex. Alex Sage is a typical college student trying to keep up his grades and maybe find a meaningful connection with the fairer sex. Then, an automated semi crashes into his home, killing his family and turning his head into a pin cushion in the process. Alex awakens to find most of his memories gone and an illegal AI hidden in his brain implant. Now the pet project of a tech billionaire and heavily in debt, Alex struggles to stay valuable enough to be kept online. Still grappling with the repercussions of his injuries, and threats from a dangerous anti-augmentation political movement, there are no easy answers and threats loom around every corner. Alex must use whatever resources he can to escape from under the thumb of a ruthless corporation, while keeping those he comes to love safe. Chapters will stay up on RRL until Aug 10. It'll go up on Kindle Unlimited after that. How do you get those extra chapters I didn't have planned for RR? If you want them, they'll be in the published book. Book 2 will still make sense without them - I made sure of that. But... isn't $3 a lot for extra chapters? Think of it as tipping me for a good job and you'd also be getting my eternal thanks. If you enjoyed it so much that the idea of missing out a few chapters haunts you, I did my job as an author and made an engaging story. What's in those extra chapters? Resolving a few issues, set up for the cybernetic revolution, a rather intense sex scene with a new partner, revelations of who's really pulling strings, and a bit of set up for book 2. Complaints that people missed out on it when it was published here won't help (sorry!). I posted this for the folks who helped me shape the book, which is you all! (Again, yay!) But... Why! Why not keep it all on RR forever? My editor likes being paid for one. For two, I'd like the ability to get broader readership. If I break even on editor costs, I'll be incredibly happy. What about book 2? Drafts for Book 2 will go up around Sept 10. My draft of Book 2 is done, and it will be handed to the editor once Book 1 is published. Feedback has been even more positive. Beta readers devoured it and wanted more. I'll add a link to Book 2 once it's up on RR. I'm more or less, using you all for Beta Readers, so you get it before it's "canon" and edited. I invite active and meaningful feedback during this process. In return, you get early access to chapters. That does mean that the book content or plot might be adjusted before it gets published as I refine it. Sex Y/N? Yes. I heard the feedback, 90% wanted it explicit. You all will get the "full" experience. Will I dump all of book 2 here? Honestly, I'm not sure yet. At a minimum, it'll be up to the 75% mark as we collect feedback, much like what I did with book 1. It really depends on how good the feedback is and how nice people are. Lots of support + meaningful feedback to make it better = higher likelihood you get all the book. Will be it up here indefinitely? No, it'll probably go up on KU at some point, but I'll make sure there's enough time for a large readership to grab it here. Then we move to book 3 which already is around 60K words already. What about other adventures in the same universe/characters? Yep. Absolutely. Nothing ready to share yet though. I plan to keep those side chapters and more slice of life stories as RR exclusive. Since I'm carving this off in book-sized segments, I'll have to figure out where those disconnected story arcs belong. I'm open to suggestions.

Bookworld Online: Marsh Man
Welcome dear friends, to the Virtual Reality Full Immersion System called Bookworld Online! Your name is David Drake and you are a 10 year old slave to the Marsh Hag. You were bought from your parents when you were only a small child at two years old. You don't really remember your old family at all. That's a good thing, since you would hate them on sight for selling you to her. All you've know for your whole life is pain. You are usually quickly healed and receive a lot of training and experience as her unofficial apprentice. It's unofficial because she would never pay to have you registered as an actual apprentice. To everyone else, you are just the boy she took pity on and brought into her home. What they don't know is that you are much more than that. So much more. You are her food. She uses you as her own personal buffet and she indulges herself quite often. You even have the permanent scars to prove it. You have learned many things from her, mostly without her knowing, since you have been helping more and more with her spell work the last few years and her potion making. The only parts you can't do are the magic condensing rituals that her potions require and the mana infusions that a lot of her other creations need. Do you wish to initiate the Main Storyline with these parameters? Please Note: I publish daily.Second Note: I changed this story to a fan fiction. It is based on Swamp Boy. The old story is about 4 years old and was dropped after 19 long chapters. The author hasn't been online since then, so I figured it was safe to do my own take on it.
