The hatred in Cecilia's heart began to subside, little by little...
On the other hand, Selina was incredibly moved.
She believed that the love between Natalie and Tobias was what true love looked like.
Tobias was willing to give his life up for Natalie, Natalie was willing to sign a contract that put her life on the line. That was what true love looked like, wasn't it? They were willing to give up everything for each other and only till death do they part.
On this afternoon, Natalie suddenly noticed Tobias' fingers twitch a little.
She immediately becagitated, and quickly informed the medical personnel.
Selina, Cecilia, and Peter immediately rushed over when they heard the news.
Everyone was extremely nervous.
The doctor was overjoyed after checking Tobias' condition. He told them that it was a good sign that Tobias' fingers were starting to move. He said that things would probably take a turn for the better that night, that other parts of his body might start showing signs of movement as well.
Everyone in the ward held their breath as they watched Tobias intently.
However, when night fell, Tobias hadn't moved anymore.
"What's going on? Didn't the doctor say that he is going to move his other body parts? Why hasn't he moved yet?" Peter asked impatiently.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe doctor was also confused.
According to Tobias' reaction earlier, his condition was supposed would get better by evening.
"Mr. Whitlock, it's hard to say," the doctor managed to say.
"Are you saying that he still won't wake up?" Peter raised his voice.
The doctor didn't dare give Peter any false hope.
He replied meekly, "Mr. Whitlock, chances are that he won't be waking up tonight." Peter snorted loudly, then left in a rage.
On the other hand, Selina and Cecilia's faces were filled with dejection.
Natalie was even more miserable. Her bright eyes immediately lost their light.
Cecilia patted Natalie's shoulder. "Natalie, it's a good sign that Tobias' finger moved. He might not show any improvement tonight, but maybe he will tomorrow. You've been through a lot lately, you should get srest tonight." Natalie nodded reluctantly. S~Earch the Findwebsite on Gøøgle to access chapters of early and in the highest quality.
Selina consoled her as well. "Natalie, don't be too anxious. The doctor already said that Tobias' condition is going to take a turn for the better. Now, you need to take good care of yourself so that you won't collapse when Tobias wakes up." "I will. I will take care of myself while waiting for Tobias to wake up." Natalie's answer was gentle yet determined. It was already late at night by the tCecilia and Selina left.
However, Natalie could not fall asleep.
She was overexcited by Tobias' little movements earlier. However, the more excited she was, the more disappointed she became.
Natalie sat by Tobias' side, and she carefully placed his hand on top of hers.
His hands were large and well-defined. They swallowed Natalie's small hands.
Her gaze drifted to his fingers.
His fingers were long and nice, his nails round.
Natalie said softly, "Tobias, how can you even have such nice-looking hands? It's bad enough that you're so handsome. Did you know that the first tI saw you, the only thing I could think of was that how could such a handsman exist on this earth? I even thought that you had to be a god." "You are, aren't you? A god. You're a god sent to earth to save me." "What would my life be if I hadn't met you at that time? I would've married that idiot and lived a hopeless life." She shuddered at the thought of that kind of life.
To be with a man that she didn't love, to not be able to see hope, and never be able to see the end of days. She would fall into the dark abyss of torture.
"You saved me, Tobias. When I was at my most heartbroken, I thought that if I had the chance to redo everything, I would have avoided you at all costs. Now, though, I know that I was wrong to think that. If I could go back in time, I would do anything to meet you again." "Even though so many things have happened between us, and so much pain... I've still experienced a lot of happiness because of you. You taughtthe meaning of life, and I've learned what love is like because of you." "Tobias, I'm truly lucky to have met you. Even if there's still going to be pain and sadness between us, I still don't regret my decision." "To find you and meet you is the greatest blessing in my life." As Natalie spoke, her tears started to flow.
A single teardrop fell onto the back of Tobias' hand.
Twenty-nine days had passed in the blink of an eye. It was almost a month.
Tobias had shown no other signs of improvement since the slight movement of his fingers last time.
On the other hand, Natalie seemed surprisingly calm.
As usual, she still talked to Tobias despite no response from him and stared at him in silence from tto time.
On the other hand, Cecilia and Selina were worried sick.
They had not forgotten about the agreement. The next day would be the last day of the month, and it was the deadline for Natalie and Peter's bet.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmPeter was an army veteran, and contracts were of the highest order to him.
From the moment Natalie had signed to contract, there was no turning back.
This time, no matter how Cecilia and Selina tried to persuade Peter, it would be useless.
If Tobias didn't wake up the next day, Natalie would die.
That afternoon, Cecilia pulled Selina to the side.
Her face was filled with worry. "Selina, I just asked the doctor, and he said that based on Tobias' current condition, it's not likely that he'll wake up tomorrow." Selina's heart almost stopped beating.
"Then what will happen to Natalie?" she blurted out.
Cecilia frowned. "That's why I pulled you here. Tomorrow's the deadline of Peter and Natalie's bet."
Selina was getting anxious. "Maybe you can plead with Grandpa? Ask him time.m to give Natalie smore time! sTobias finger already moved last time, and that's a good sign, isn't it? Maybe he'll wake up after smore time." Cecilia shook her head weakly.
She looked at Selina sorrowfully. "It won't work this time, Selina. I know m how Peter's like, and he's already reached his limit with letting Natalie go twice. He definitely won't let her go anymore, and he'll get rid of her this time." "Then what are we going to do? Are we going to watch Natalie die?" Selina cried.
Cecilia bit her lip. "You go in there eto withand well try to persuaden Natalie to leave today. Perhaps Peter will let her go if Natalie chooses to leave before the deadline is up." This was the best plan that Cecilia could cup with at the moment.
Selina nodded, then followed Cecilia into the ward without any hesitation.
