"Natalie, I am a huge celebrity now. You are probably the only one on earth who can have a celebrity wash your clothes," Yvonne muttered under her breath while washing Natalie's clothes. After that, she went to cook sfood.
Since Natalie was about to wake out soon, Yvonne thought that it'd be nice if she made something to help with the hangover.
Meanwhile, Natalie lay sprawled on the bed, everything from the past replaying in her head like a never-ending movie.
All her dreams consisted of the painful events that had haunted her for years.
She recalled the moment Tobias told her that he wanted to break up.
Then, she thought of the twhen he ordered her to abort their baby.
The scene soon shifted to replay the hard times when she was traveling abroad while being heavily pregnant.
It was as if she could feel the overwhelming hopelessness when she gave birth to Hayden all over again. Innages flashed through her mind rapidly, as though she was flipping through the book of her memories until finally, everything froze, and she was back at the hospital again.
It was the moment when she had been assaulted by Tobias.
Natalie woke up from her nightmare with a gasp.
In fact, it wasn't a nightmare.
After all, everything in her dreams had happened in reality.
A thin layer of sweat littered her forehead.
She tore a piece of tissue to wipe off the sweat.
Natalie suddenly felt a sense of bitterness in her heart.

For instance, God had separated her and Tobias because they weren't made for each other.
Moreover, Remington and Tobias had gotten into two separate accidents at the stthe night before.

Maybe it was God's way of warning her not to stray from her path after realizing her wavering emotions and resolutions.
Suddenly, a mouth-watering smell wafted into her room.
Her stomach immediately growled in response.
Natalie jumped off the bed and walked towards the kitchen. She was surprised to find Yvonne in her apartment. Yvonne was busy working on the stove with her back facing her.
Tears welled up in Natalie's eyes.
At that instant, she felt as if they had been reunited after being apart for a long time.
She stepped forward and hugged Yvonne from behind.
Yvonne's muscles stiffened in response.
"Mr. Quartley," She blurted out of habit.
Flashbacks from the previous night suddenly cto her mind.
She was at the Quartley family's villa, and Jenkins was there with her as well.
Jenkins was a man of a few words. When they were together, they rarely spoke to each other.
In an attempt to relieve the silence between them, she had told him that she was going to cook up something for him in the kitchen.
When she was busy cooking, Jenkins sneaked up on her and hugged her from behind.
Then, he planted tiny kisses on every inch of her skin.
Like a starved animal, he ripped off all her clothes right then and there.
However, at that critical moment, he stopped.
Instead, he carried her onto his bed and slept with her, his arms tightly wrapped around her for the whole night.
They slept soundly, and nothing indecent happened between them the entire night.
Meanwhile, Natalie was stunned when she heard Yvonne calling her that.
She frowned, "Yvonne, what are you talking about?" Natalie's voice snapped Yvonne back to reality.
Yvonne turned around and realized that it was Natalie.
She let out a sigh of relief.
Then, she slapped her forehead in a mixture of bewilderment and amusement. What on earth was she thinking about? "It's nothing!" She chuckled dryly, "Why did you hugso suddenly? I thought you were a man. You almost scaredto death." Tears welled up in Natalie's eyes as she sniffled, "I was suddenly overwhelmed by my emotions when I saw you just now. I recalled the twhen we first met back when we were still freshmen, and Sebastian too. We were so innocently happy back then." Natalie could not control herself when she saw Yvonne.
Her eyes then turned red as she confessed in a shaky voice, "I really missed you, Yvonne." Yvonne was shocked.
Why did Natalie behave like this? She was acting as though she had just witnessed something catastrophic. Wait a minute... S~EaRch the Find_Nøvelwebsite on Google to access chapters of early and in the highest quality.
Yvonne's eyes widened in realization.
Natalie just brought up Sebastian's name.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe turned to look at Natalie and gasped, "Natalie, you remember us?" Natalie nodded and said, "Yes, I did. I remembered everything." Yvonne becemotional at once, shrieking, "Oh, Natalie, you finally remembered. I thought that you lost your memory permanently and you would be like that for the rest of your life." Natalie let go of Yvonne and explained, "I almost died, Yvonne. When I was at the verge of death, everything suddenly cback to me." "What do you mean you almost died? What happened to you?" Yvonne's elated expressions turned into worry as she frowned.
Taking a huge breath, Natalie told Yvonne about everything that Queenie had done to her.
"She dunked my head into the water again and again. For the final time, she wanted to killfor good, but who knew that all my memories would cback. Don't you think it was such a coincidence?" She smiled bitterly. Despite Natalie's casual and joking tone, Yvonne felt so infuriated she was about to explode in rage.
"Queenie is a b*tch. She still did not stop hurting you after so many years. This time, she even wanted to kill you, Natalie you must not forgive her!" Yvonne paused and stared at Natalie, offering, "Have you taken your revenge yet? If you haven't, I will help you." Yvonne was no longer an insignificant nobody. She had no qualms dealing with Queenie now if she wanted to.
Natalie shook her head and reassured her friend, "It's okay. Tobias will deal with her." Although she did not ask Tobias about Queenie, she knew that he would not let Brayden and Queenie escape unscathed.
Yvonne shot Natalie a suspicious glance.
Natalie immediately knew what Yvonne was thinking.
"Brayden had almost taken advantage of Tobias's younger sister. Tobias certainly wouldn't let these two go so easily after they humiliated his sister like this," She quickly added, ve as if making clear her relationship with Tobias. Yvonne blinked in amusement.
Why was Natalie in a hurry to explain things to her? Was Natalie afraid that she might have mistaken Tobias's intentions of dealing with Queenie? Didn't Natalie make peace with Tobias after she got back her memories? Just then, Natalie sneaked a glance at the pot and said, "You're cooking noodles. It smells good." Yvonne nodded, "It'll be ready soon. We can eat after a while." "Okay, I'll wait for you," Natalie smiled.
Yvonne tried to return to the topic, "I can't believe that Queenie and Brayden actually had the guts to do such a thing." Natalie shrugged, "They asked for it. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes." Initially, she thought to just let bygones be bygones. She could let everything go for James' sake.
Yet, the two of them had continued hurting her. They deserved what was coming for them.
Natalie pushed away the ugly emotions rising inside her.
She did not want to think about those two scums anymore. It wasn't worth it.
Meanwhile, the noodles were finally done. Yvonne quickly served them.
Even though Yvonne wasn't exactly a chef nor did she cook often, her cooking skills was still quite impressive.
She had made them agowith poached eggs. The colors of the dish looked amazing. It smelled good and tasted delicious too.
X Natalie leaned forwards and took a whiff of the dishes. Then, she made a satisfied expression and praised, "I can tell just by looking at it that it's going to be delicious."
