"I'm terrified of these. Please, wake up soon. I don't like to see these tubes stuck in your body." "Wake up, Tobias. Please open your eyes and look at me. It's me, Natalie." There was no reaction.
No matter what Natalie said, Tobias remained unresponsive.
Natalie kept talking to him, her words coming out between choking sobs. However, she fought back her tears.
Meanwhile, Selina watched her, her eyes red.
Matthew felt his heart jolt. He couldn't bear watching and averted his gaze.
Just as he shifted his gaze from Natalie to the door, he saw Cecilia and Peter.
They walked into the ward together.
Peter was the first to see Natalie. He flew into a rage and roared, "Where did this woman cfrom? Get her out of here, now!" Selina panicked at their abrupt entrance, her eyes widening. "No! Grandpa, don't." Peter ignored her, already seething. "Someone cand drag here out of here!" Several bodyguards cin and walked towards Natalie.
Cecilia could not stand it anymore.
She turned to Peter. "Peter, Tobias is still here. Do you want to cause a scene in front of him?" search the Find Nøvelwebsite on Gøøgle to access chapters of early and in the highest quality.
Peter kept silent, but his nostrils flared.
Cecilia walked up to Natalie and said, "Natalie, let's go talk outside. Let's not cause a scene in front of Tobias, okay?" Natalie slowly got up and walked out after taking a look at Tobias.
Her legs felt weighed down by a thousand pounds, and she staggered with each step.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWhen they were finally outside the ICU, Peter began throwing a big fit.
"How did this woman get here? Who brought her here?" "She's the one responsible for ruining Tobias' life. How dare she chere!" "Does this scourge want to bring trouble to Tobias again?" "Get her out of here. I want her out of my sight right now. I don't want to see her ever again!" Natalie just stood there unmoving in the face of Peter's rage.
Her slender figure made her seem so vulnerable, as if anyone could easily knock her down.
Selina wanted to defend Natalie, but she did not dare to make a sound when she saw Peter's murderous expression.
In the end, it was Cecilia who spoke up.
She said in a low voice, "Natalie, you've seen how things are like. Nobody wants you here, so please leave, okay? Please." "You're wrong, Auntie. I know someone still wantshere," Natalie suddenly said.
Cecilia stunned, a little taken aback.
Natalie said softly, "Tobias would've wantedto come. He definitely would wantto be here." Cecilia felt as if something blunt had just struck her heart.
After a moment of silence, she said bitterly, "Natalie, Tobias is already in this state. I just want to ensure my son stays alive. I'm begging you, please leave." Cecilia was terrified. She was afraid that her only son would lose his life if he continued to get mixed up with Natalie.
Natalie felt like something was pressing down on her chest, making it hard for her to breathe.
"Auntie, could you please giveone more chance? Just one last chance." She wanted to stay by Tobias' side until he woke up.
"You're out of chances!" Peter's voice rang out, filled with hatred. "Stop fantasising about getting another chance, now that things are like this! It's good enough that I didn't get someone to throw you into the Pelham River. Now, someone cand drag her out of here!" Selina was about to say something when Peter glared at her. "If you say anything on her behalf, I'll kick you out of the Whitlock family!" Selina's breathing hitched.
She knew that Peter was serious this time.
She could only keep quiet as she looked at Natalie helplessly.
To argue with Peter at this moment would only provoke him more and worsen the situation.
She thought that it was best for her to remain silent for the tbeing.
Several bodyguards cand escorted Natalie out of the hospital.
"Auntie, please givea chance. Letstay with Tobias. Givea chance!" Natalie shouted in between sobs.
Cecilia turned her back towards Natalie, ignoring her.
Matthew was about to say something, but Peter stopped him in advance. "Matthew, do not interfere in my family affairs." Matthew's expression was neutral. "Alright, Mr. Whitlock. Have a good rest. I'll take my leave first." Peter said nothing.
Matthew saw Natalie when he walked out of the hospital.
She was standing at the entrance of the hospital.
She kept knocking on the door, and when Matthew cout, she immediately tried to squeeze in.
However, the door closed before she could get in, and Natalie was pushed out.
She continued to pound on the door.
"Miss Godfrey, stop knocking," Matthew said in a low voice.
Natalie looked at Matthew, her eyes red. "Help me, please. Please bringin like you did before. I want to see Tobias, I need to see him. He can't be comfortable lying there like ve that need to be with him." Matthew's eyes took on a trace of pity. "Mr. Whitlock is in a rage now, and you're just going to get yourself in trouble if you force your way in right now. It's better to wait till he's calmed down a bit, and Selina will try to help you out. Since you're here, you'll definitely have a chance to go in there. Just have patience for now." Matthew's soothing voice and firm eyes managed to calm Natalie down.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmNatalie's breath hitched, and she stopped pounding on the door.
She accepted what Matthew just told her.
"Letbring you to a place where you can stay for tonight. You can cagain tomorrow," Matthew said.
Natalie shook her head. "No, I'll stay here. I don't want to leave." Matthew did not argue with her nor try to persuade her.
He was empathetic and was able to understand how others feel, thinking from their perspectives.
Since Natalie wanted to stay here, he respected her decision.
He gave her a business card and said, "Callif you need anything." Natalie took it over. "Thank you." "You're welcome. I'll cagain tomorrow and help you to persuade them. You don't have to worry too much." It was soon night time, and the sky grew dark.
At midnight, the temperature dropped rapidly, and it began raining cats and dogs.
Lightning flashed, and roars of thunder filled the air as heavy rain cpouring down from the sky.
Selina had a hard tfalling asleep. She could not stop worrying about Natalie.
She heard from the servants that Natalie had been outside the hospital the whole time.
However, Peter and Cecilia had been here the whole time, and it wasn't convenient for her to go check on Natalie.
She waited until it was late at night and ensured that everyone had already gone to sleep before sneaking out. The hospital was quiet as Selina slowly pushed open the door.
They were at a top private hospital. It wasn't as big as normal hospitals, only consisting of one single black. They didn't take on many patients, and since Tobias' arrival, he was the only patient in the hospital. It was raining heavily outside, and Selina could not help but shiver in the cold.
She was already used to the cozy temperature inside the hospital, so she didn't know that there was a massive downpour. It was freezing out here.
She searched for Natalie in a hurry, squinting a little in the dark with the little light coming from the hospital lobby. Finally, she found Natalie curled up in a corner.
