Turning Of the Tide by Diana Sander

Chapter 175

After canceling her leave, Natalie Foster went to take a look at Ethan White again, but he had not

regained consciousness

yel

She then went to the office to check with the attending doctor. After finding out that Ethan should regain

consciousness in the next few days, she felt much more relieved.

It was good as long as all of them could survive.

Just as Natalie was thinking about this, her cell phone rang. She picked it up and saw that it was a call

from Joseph Turner. She answered the call, feeling somewhat guilty. “Joseph”

On the other end of the line. Joseph’s voice was as gentle as ever. “How are you and Jasper lately?

Your aunt keeps nagging me every day to make a call, saying that you only tell us good news and

never let us know when something bad happens”

Natalie’s heart skipped a beat. Could it be that her older cousin knew? However, she didn’t detect any

hint of anger in his

tone.

Natalie analyzed in her mind every word Joseph said. From the looks of it, he did not seem to know

about this matter. She braced herself and continued to lie. I’m doing quite good, Joseph. When are you

coming over with Uncle and the rest?”

Joseph chuckled softly “For the past few days, Ava has been clamoring to go over earlier. We’re all

getting a headache from her nagging, so we’ll be coming next week. There’s no rule in Athana stating

that we can’t go and pay our respects to our ancestors earlier, is there?”

Natalie quickly said, “No, no. Joseph. You guys can come whenever you want. All of you decide on a

day to come and tell me so that I can take leave in advance. I have promised Ava that I will take leave

to keep her company when she comes here” Joseph’s words successfully dispelled Natalie’s doubts.

After all, Ava had indeed sent her a message last week saying that she wanted to come to Athana

ahead of schedule.

In Azureland, in the CEO’s office somewhere in Sapphire City, after the man ended the phone call, he

took off his glasses and massaged the spot between his eyebrows to lessen his headache. He seemed

a little helpless. Pat Black, who was standing beside him, spoke up. “Sir, do we need to send another

group of people to protect Miss Natalie?

The bodyguards under Ethan had indeed promised Natalie not to tell Joseph, but they were still the

Turner family’s bodyguards after all. They knew the consequences of not reporting what they knew.

After much reconsideration, they still called Pat Black to report what had happened.

Joseph’s eyes were deep, dark, and unfathomable. He closed his eyes and sighed before replying.

There’s no need. Since

someone has cleaned up the mess for free, there’s no need to tell the chairman and the rest about this”

Pat stood respectfully with his hands crossed in front of him. He was hesitating whether to plead for

mercy. “Mr. Turner,

about Ethan

“He made the biggest mistake of all. He was careless. You know what that means”

Pat lowered his head and gave up. He knew that the Turner family’s rules could not be bent, but he still

wanted to plead for

Ethan

After a moment, Joseph said in a low voice, “This is the first and the last time” He knew that the reason

Natalie hid it from him was primarily because of Ethan. This girl was afraid of implicating others. If

Joseph insisted on punishing Ethan, Natalie would probably feel very bad.

Pat did not expect Joseph, who had always been a man of his word, to relent. He quickly thanked him.

“Thank you, Mr.

Turner.”

Joseph closed his eyes and pretended to nap. The fact that Natalie could let that man get close to her

again meant only one thing. As her older cousin, Joseph could protect her and ensure that she did not

have to worry about food and clothing. However, he could not get involved in everything, for example,

her feelings. He could not interfere too much.

However, if that man wanted to marry Natalie again, it would not be that easy. It wouldn’t be that easy

for anyone to marry a girl from the Turner family.

Sherri Landor and Hackett Blackwell came out of the washroom. Natalie was a little puzzled over why

they came out of the same washroom when they were of different genders. However, she did not know

the exact situation and it was also not the time to ask. “Ill go back first. Have a good day at work.”

Actually, Sherri had only gone in to wash her face while Hackett had gone to the entrance to offer his

sleeve.

Sherri looked at Natalie worriedly. “I applied for leave yesterday. Why don’t I keep you company?”

Hackett received Trevon’s gaze which was as sharp as a blade and quickly tugged at the dumb foolish

woman beside him. “Do what you need to do. It’s none of your business.” He gestured with his chin in

the direction of Trevon Sherri was no fool How could she not understand what Hackett meant? It was

just that she did not fully trust Trevon Wilson yet She was afraid that he would hurt Natalie again and

completely destroy her. Furthermore, Natalie was going through a period of sorrow now. It was very

easy for Trevon to take advantage of Natalie’s lapse in rational thought. Thus, Sherri

wanted to speak again

Natalie stopped her, however “It’s okay I’m not as fragile as you think. I won’t collapse. I still have to

take care of Jasper. Don’t worry

Sherri felt more relieved when she heard that. That was right Things were different now. She and

Natalie were already parents. They couldn’t only think about themselves Their children still had to rely

on them.

Natalie tried to put on a brave front and waved at Sherri beland her. As she looked at both Trevon and

her best friend’s back profiles moving off together. Sherri’s conviction began to waver She felt that it

would be good if Trevon had really changed and treated Natalie well. At least, from their back profiles,

they really looked like a mate hing couple.

Hackett, who was beside her, rudely interrupted Sherri’s thoughts. “What are you thinking? You think

they’re a perfect match”“

Sherri asked in return, “Don’t you think so?”

Hackett shrugged. “Aren’t we a perfect matche n’t your daughter prettier than his son? Aren’t I more

handsome than Trevon Is there anything wrong with your eyesight?”

Sherri wanted to retort that there was indeed something goddamn wrong with her eyesight and that

was why she gave Hackett a call. If she had good eyesight, she would never have called him.

Dream on, Hackett.

He couldn’t even tell if he was more handsome than Trevon. Sherri retorted sarcastically, “Mr.

Blackwell, you’re definitely the most handsome man in the world, aren’t you?”

Hackett did not care if Sherri was being sarcastic or sincere. Anyway, people liked to hear

compliments. He was still happy to be praised by Sherri After the jesting, he said solemnly, “I can’t pick

you up from work in the afternoon. I have toa help. Trevon investigate the nuastermind”

Sherri took out her cell phone and checked the time. It was almost || o’clock. “I didn’t ask you to pick

me up”

Hackett burst into laughter. If they were to have a trial period and see who would be the first to fall in

love, he really suspected that he would be the one to fall in love This woman did not seem to like him at

all. Her face was filled with disdain. It was a defeat for him. To be fair, he, Hackett Blackwell, was also a

handsome man who was loved by everyone, yet this lady Miss Landor did not fancy him.

It couldn’t be helped since she was his make-believe girlfriend. “Fine. I’m the one who insists on

fetching you, girlfriend” The last word was emphasized through gritted teeth.

The word “girlfriend” made Sherri blush a little for some reason. Her heart was pounding. She

pretended to be calm and waved her hand to chase him away. “Alright, go quickly. Let me know when

you find the mastermind.” She was getting good at such exchanges

“Got it, ma’am.”

Sherri’s smile widened. She suddenly felt that it was quite good to hang out with this guy.

Falling unknowingly into the trap was the most fatal Could she be one of those?

As she walked out of the parking lot, Natalie did not follow Trevon to the garage Instead, she went to

where her two-wheeler was parked. Trevon followed closely behind and asked, “Are you planning to

ride back?”

“I can’t leave it in the hospital” Natalie’s grandfather had given it to her. Even if she didn’t ride it, she still

had to park it away properly.

Trevon walked quickly to face Natalie and glanced at her dress. He frowned. “Tll be the main rider. You

ride pillion.”

“Huh? Was he planning to ride with her?

“Do you think your dress is appropriate?” When the wind blew, all of Natalie’s inner beauty would be

exposed to outsiders. Trevon would feel like a cuckold.

In reality, Natalie wanted to go to the suburbs to release her suppressed emotions to get back into the

right state of mind. How could she release her emotions now that Trevon wanted to come with her?

She turned him down. “Why don’t we take the car back? I’ll ride it tomorrow.” Since she couldn’t release

emotions, she might as well shelf it first. There was no hurry.

Trevon had already picked up the helmet, but there was only one. This helmet made him very

uncomfortable, especially the signature on it. Although he was uncomfortable, safety was still

paramount, so he put the helmet on Natalie’s head and helped her tidy her loose hair. “My riding skills

are not inferior to yours. You can give it a try”

Ignoring the woman’s stunned expression, Trevon swung one leg over the motorcycle straightaway. As

his long legs supported the motorcycle, he said to the woman behind him, “Give me the key. Get on
