"Mrs. Whitlock." Matthew's tone beca little heavier. "If medical methods aren't working, I would suggest using psychological methods. I've seen a case where the patient fell into a vegetative state because of an accident, and the doctors were sure that he wasn't going to ever wake up. However, under his family and lover's calls, the man woke up, and it was a medical miracle. That's why I'm suggesting that you bring Natalie here." Cecilia's breathing quickened.
An intense tug of war was playing inside her, almost tearing her apart.
After quite stime, she shook her head and sighed bitterly. "Forget it, Matthew." She thought that the so-called medical miracle was unlikely to happen to Tobias.
Besides, although Tobias was unconscious, he was still alive. She was afraid that if Natalie was here, her presence would only bring bad luck and cause Tobias's condition to deteriorate.
"Mrs. Whitlock..." "Matthew, please stop. No matter what you say, neither of us will agree to it," Cecilia snapped irritably, rejecting him without the slightest hesitation.
Matthew's forehead creased with a frown.
Two days later, Matthew returned home.
He was in a huge dilemma.
One part of him wanted Natalie to cto see Tobias.
Another part of him wanted to respect Tobias' family's decision.
After all, no matter how close Matthew and Tobias were, Matthew was still an outsider and not a Whitlock. Meanwhile, when Matthew was on the flight heading back to Glevania, Selina already reached htoo.
She went to Hayden's kindergarten.
Before this, Cecilia had cried and pleaded with Selina not to tell Natalie about Tobias.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBut she felt extremely guilty for that.
She knew that Tobias was still alive, but she could not tell Natalie.
She could imagine just how badly Natalie missed Tobias.
That was, in fact, the reason Selina decided to cback in secret.
She planned to visit Hayden first and check on Natalie later.
When Hayden saw Selina walking into the kindergarten, he flung himself into her arms. "Aunt! You're finally here." Search the Findwebsite on Gøøgle to access chapters of early and in the highest quality. His voice had the trace of a sob.
Hayden's voice was filled with so much longing and sadness, that Selina felt her insides melt as she hugged him tightly.
She ruffled his hair and whispered, "I'm here to see you, Hayden." Hayden looked up at Selina. "Where have you and Grandma gone to for so long? Grandma said that you two would be back soon every tI called, but it's been so long!" Selina forced a smile at him. "I am back now." "Where on earth did you and Grandma go?" Hayden pouted and narrowed his eyes at her.
On the other hand, Selina licked her lips and avoided his gaze.
She wanted to tell him exactly where they'd gone to.
But now that Tobias was still unconscious, she decided not to say anything first.
Instead, she changed the subject. "Hayden, how have you been without us?" At that question, Hayden's face fell.
He muttered, "Not good. I miss Daddy so much, but he is gone." Selina felt like something had struck her heart.
She scooped Hayden into her arms, saying firmly, "Hayden, I am absolutely sure that your father is still alive. Think about it, your Daddy is excellent and powerful, how could he be gone just like that? I swear to you, he is still alive. You must study hard and live happily, and one day, Daddy will chto see you." Hayden blinked, his long eyelashes trembling.
He stared at Selina with a serious expression. "Aunt, are you telling the truth? Don't lie to me." Selina stretched out her pinky. "I'm not lying to you, I promise. Here, let's do a pinky promise." Hayden stretched out his pinky and hooked it to Selina's.
After that, Hayden said in a small voice, "Aunt, I have a secret to tell you. I still think Daddy's alive too. I've dreamt of him several times now." Hayden paused, his eyes becoming dazed. "Daddy toldthat he was really, really tired, and that he wanted to sleep. He said he'd cseewhen he woke up." Selina was stunned, her breath hitching.
Why would Hayden dream of such a thing? It seemed like Hayden and Tobias had shared a unique father-son bond.
She took a deep breath and said, "That's right, your dream said it all. Perhaps your Daddy is just sleeping, and he'll cback when he wakes up." "Does he need to sleep for so long, though? Isn't one night enough?" Hayden asked in confusion.
"Who told you that?" Selina blurted out, "Tortoises sleep for the whole winter!" Hayden immediately burst into a fit of giggles when he heard her words.
"But Daddy is not a tortoise!" He corrected her.
At that, Selina almost stuck out her tongue in embarassment. She too thought that her reply was silly.
She smiled ruefully and said, "You're right. Your Daddy is not a tortoise. Look at me, I'm talking nonsense now." After a while, Selina got ready to leave.
She wanted to go to see Natalie.
However, she didn't expect Hayden to bring Natalie up just before she left.
He looked like he was struggling with something.
Selina never would've imagined that an expression like that would appear on a child's face, but there it was. "Natalie comes to seeeveryday, Aunt, and she brings bread for me," Hayden said lowly.
Selina paused for a moment.
Then, she patted his head. "That's a good thing." Selina was relieved to hear that Natalie was still bringing food for Hayden. It looked like she wasn't doing too badly.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSomething flickered in Hayden's eyes.
"But Great-grandpa said that Natalie killed Daddy."
Selina immediately corrected, "Who told you that? Didn't I tell you that your Daddy is not dead? H€isJust ve asleep. Dust like animals that hibernate, he also needs to sleep for a long time. He will chto you when he wakes up." "Natalie is my Mommy, but why did she lie to me? Why didn't she tellthe truth?" Hayden suddenly becvisibly agitated.
Selina sighed.
Everything was too big of a mess. She didn't know where to start.
Instead, she looked at Hayden and said softly, "I assure you, Hayden that Natalie is a good mother. She didn't tell you because she had her reasons. Please don't be angry with her, okay? Promise me.
Hayden said nothing in reply.
Selina also understood that it was impossible to make Hayden accept Natalie in such a short period of time.
She decided to change the topic. "Hayden, I need to get going, I still have sthings to do. I'll cback once I'm done, okay?" "Okay." Selina got up and turned to leave. Hayden suddenly called out to her after she took a few steps.
She turned back to him.
Hayden bit his lip, then said, "I saw that Natalie had a strand of white hair the other day. I really hated her at first, but I didn't hate her so much when I saw her white hair. Aunt, if you see Natalie, tell her not to grow any more white hair. If she grows white hair, she won't be young and pretty anymore." Selina's heart wrenched at his words.
Hayden's words and expression made her inexplicably feel bitter.
