With a loud sound, the car door was closed. Nate didn't get his mind back until the car was started and moved ahead.

He ran to it as fast as he could.

​​

"Stop it! Stop it right now!" he shouted. Fannie was too sad to hear his confession of love just then. She wiped her eyes and noticed Nate, who was running to her in the rear-view mirror. Without hesitation, she slammed on the accelerator.

"Do you have to chase me for the car?"

She understood Nate didn't like her, or he wouldn't have set her up with different men. He treated her very well just because her mother had done his family a great favor many years ago. Nate chased the car behind for a while, then gave up.

Seeing the taillights disappearing in his sight, Nate felt like vomiting.

"F*ck!" Nate swore. "Exercises are really important. I feel like I'm dying now after running for just a short distance."

He searched in his pocket, but his phone, as well as wallet, were left in the car.

It was past 10 pm in late autumn, and there were few pedestrians on the road, especially on a highway.

Nate, who was still drunk, stood in the middle of the road, and he tried to stop a car for a lift three times in vain.

In the end, he felt cornered and hit a nearby patrol kiosk with a brick.

Within three minutes, he heard a police siren moving near from afar.

Ethan later received a phone call from the police station and went to bail Nate out with Kylie.

"Lord Ethan, I'm so sorry to bother you in the middle of the night..." A policeman followed Ethan behind. "He's drunk, and also has destroyed public property. We can't let him go if no one bails him out."

"Did he attack the police?" Ethan strode ahead.

"No, he didn't."

When the police car arrived, Nate didn't have any attempt to escape at all but reached out his hands with a smile for handcuffs.

"He's not fully drunk," Ethan snorted and squeezed Kylie's hand a little. "Do you feel cold? Why don't you wait in the car?"

"I'm fine. Let's bail Nate out first," Kylie said and adjusted her coat. It indeed was a little cold in the night.

The policeman glanced at Kylie a few times, then recognized her.

"Are you the blind girl in a Dangerous World? I've watched the film three times!" He beamed. If he hadn't been wearing a police uniform in a police station, he would have asked her for her signature.

Hearing that, Ethan gave him a cold glance.

The policeman immediately put on a serious face. "He's here, and you can take him away after finishing the legal procedure."

Kylie looked into the iron bars and laughed. "Nate, you like a drowned rat now, ha-ha."

Hearing Kylie's voice, Nate sat up from the wood bed at once and complained. "Fannie was crazy, and she dumped me halfway. I left my wallet and phone in the car..." He stopped for a second, then said with pride, "Anyway, I managed to leave the highway and find a safe place."

Kylie, instead, pretended that she didn't believe it. "How is it possible? Fannie was worried that you're too drunk, so she ran out to find you before we finished playing cards. I don't believe she would abandon you halfway. I think you must have said something that annoyed her."

Nate felt aggrieved.

He told Fannie that he liked her. If that annoyed her, he honestly didn't know what he should say.

"Um, Ethan, get me out of here now." Nate rubbed his stomach. "I'm starving."

Seeing Ethan walking away to finish the legal procedure, Nate waved his hand to tell Kylie to walk closer.

"What?" Kylie stepped to him and leaned against the iron bars.

"What Ethan normally says to make you happy?" Nate asked all of a sudden.

Kylie understood he wanted to learn from them to make Fannie feel better afterward, so she said on purpose, "Well, you know Ethan isn't talkative at all, so he seldom says sweet words to me, but..."

Kylie smiled. "He sometimes sends me a diamond or a house or invests in a film to help me be famous. That's it."

"That's it? And you're happy with it?" Nate couldn't believe it. He didn't expect Kylie loved money so much.

However, he didn't dare criticize her because she was the apple of Ethan's eye.

"Nothing else?" Nate asked with doubt.

"Nope." Kylie smiled again. "Um, I think you must be sure what kind of girl she is before you take action to make her happy. Why don't you tell me who she is, and I can help you then?"

"Can you?" Nate pulled his lips with disdain.

"I can have a try," Kylie said.

Nate thought it wasn't a bad idea. Kylie was a woman, after all, so she must know women well.

"Well, the thing is." Nate leaned on the iron bars. "I have a female friend. We're just friends. Nothing else..."

"Stop explaining. Just hit the point!" Kylie urged him.

"She just broke up with someone, and I want to cheer her up," Nate said.

"Fannie?" Kylie stared at him.

Nate felt embarrassed and licked his lips. "Yeah. She is still a young girl, and knows nothing about love."

Kylie laughed. "Do you know what's love?"

"I..." Nate blushed and stammered, "I don't care about that. I'm not dumb to give up a forest just for a single tree."

Kylie nodded. Seeing Ethan walking to them, she smiled and held his hand. "Nate just said that you're dumb."

Hearing that, Nate was struck dumb.

Ethan abandoned all the rest fishes in the sea just for one, and not many men were able to do that.

Nate shook his hand with a broad smile on his face. "Ethan, have you finished the legal procedure?"

Ethan snorted and hugged Kylie in his arms, walking outside.

Nate didn't get the answer he wanted, and panicked. "Ethan, I was just joking. I don't have the nerve to say you're dumb."

"You can leave now, but remember not to do that again, understand?" a policeman said.

"Sure, sure, open the door right now, please," Nate said.

Seeing Nate coming out, Kylie said to Ethan in a low voice, "How is it?"

Ethan smiled. "I've arranged everything well."

Nate followed them up at once and jumped on the Knight XV before it was started. "Ethan, if you have something else to do with Kylie, give me 100 dollars, and I can take a taxi home."

"Honey, it's very late now. Let's send him home," Kylie said.

"Thank you, Kylie!" Nate said to please her without delay.

Just when the car left the police station, Kylie's phone rang. After she answered the call, Kylie seemed shocked and sad within a second.

"Central Hospital? Sure, we'll be right there." Kylie soon hung up, then turned to look at Nate, who was sitting behind.

"Fannie is in a very dangerous situation now, and the hospital can't get through to you!"
