Echoes Of a Forsaken Heart

Chapter 295 After Hamilton got off the phone with Killian, he headed straight to the bank. Upon arrival, he caught sight of Natalia and Scarlett exiting the building. Natalia's red-rimmed eyes were a clear indication she had been crying, and Hamilton found himself momentarily lost for words.

"Look who's back, Mr. Fowler?" Scarlett quipped with a sarcastic tone.

Hamilton didn't spare her a glance, his gaze fixed on Natalia, filled with an intensity of emotions he struggled to voice.

Natalia briefly met his eyes before quickly looking away, her emotions a mix of sadness from seeing her mother's belongings and anger from Giselle's earlier insults.

"Let's go," she said to Scarlett, attempting to leave.

Hamilton reached out to Natalia, "Letdrive you." "I can manage," she responded, pulling away from his grasp.

Despite being brushed off, Hamilton was determined not to let Natalia out of his sight. Seizing the moment before the car could drive off, he hopped into the backseat, much to Scarlett's annoyance.

"Get out! My car's a no-men zone!" Scarlett snapped.

Ignoring her, Hamilton's focus remained on Natalia, "Did you get your mom's things?" Natalia turned her gaze out the window, "Hamilton, stop bothering me." "Yell at me, hitif you're angry, okay?" Hamilton's voice was tinged with desperation.

Natalia let out a hollow laugh, "I won't hit or yell at you. I just don't want anything to do with you anymore." Scarlett glared at Hamilton, "She wouldn't even bother hitting you now; you're not worth it. Get out and go back to your precious Eveleen!" A pang of pain hit Hamilton, but he looked at Natalia, "If I realize I've made a mistake one day and seek your forgiveness, would you forgive me?" Natalia didn't know what he was referring to, but her answer remained firm, "No." Scarlett turned to Hamilton, "Are you getting out, or can't you see Natalia doesn't want you here?" Hamilton finally spoke after a moment of silence, "Dr. Scarlett, Natalia is carrying my child. We can't just cut ties; I'm the father." "Wrong, you're just a sperm donor! The real father is whoever Natalia marries," Scarlett retorted.

Hamilton felt choked up, "I'll marry Natalia if she's willing. I'm ready whenever she is." Scarlett scoffed, "And how's that? By putting her life at risk for you?" Hamilton's gaze darkened, "I'll keep her safe, no matter what." Scarlett, fed up, reached for her pepper spray, aiming it at Hamilton, "Are you leaving or not?" Hamilton gave a bitter smile, "Dr. Scarlett, anyone would think I've wronged you." With a huff, Scarlett replied, "Wronging Natalia is wronging me. Now, get out!" Reluctantly, Hamilton exited the car, but not before telling Natalia, "I'll follow behind." As Scarlett drove off, Natalia couldn't shake off the feeling that something was off with Hamilton, but she convinced herself it no longer mattered.

Suddenly, Scarlett's face turned pale as she realized the brakes were failing. In a panic, she swerved the car into a green belt, causing a rough stop but avoiding a worse accident.

Hamilton was quick to react. He helped Natalia out of the car, frantically checking if she was hurt. "Are you okay? Is the baby okay?" Natalia, still in shock, reassured him she was fine but pointed out Scarlett's injury. Ignoring her protests, Hamilton drove them to the hospital, promising someone would take care of Scarlett Throughout the ordeal, Natalia noticed Hamilton's trembling hands, a sign of his fear and concern. Despite her resolve to distance.

QUMS Despite her words, Natalia's complexion showed no signs of improvement.

Hamilton reached out for her hand again.

Natalia wanted to pull away, but in the end, she just didn't have the strength to resist anymore.

In that moment, no one knew how terrified she was.

If something happened to the child, she wasn't sure if she could keep going.

Hamilton's car quickly made its way to the hospital.

He had already called Baxter ahead of time, ensuring Natalia got a top-notch doctor for a thorough check-up. Only after confirming everything was fine did he finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Scarlett was rushed to the hospital shortly after.

Elliott froze when he saw Killian carrying Scarlett into the emergency room.

"What happened? What's going on?" Killian, with a heavy look, simply said, "There was an accident."

Seeing the blood on Scarlett's forehead, Elliott quickly took her from Killian's arms. "Scarlett, Scarlett!" Scarlett frowned, "Stop yelling, it's annoying. Just getbandaged up." Only then did Elliott let out a long sigh of relief.

"I thought you were, I thought you were gone." "Get lost!" Scarlett wriggled out of his arms, "Curseone more time, I dare you!"
