Natalie said nothing.
Her face was ghostly pale, her lips pursed tight. She shook her head stubbornly, refusing Selina's suggestion.
"Natalie, anything is possible as long as you're alive. You are still young. Please don't be so stubborn," Cecilia persuaded.
Natalie shook her head again.
Cecilia glanced at Selina, signalling her not to say anything else.
No matter how hard they tried to persuade Natalie, it was to no avail. She had made up her mind to not leave no matter what.
Selina balled her hands tightly into fists, and her face scrunched anxiously.
The seconds ticked by. When it was close to midnight, Peter showed up.
"Cout," Peter ordered.
He didn't want to make such a huge scene in front of Tobias.
Natalie shut her eyes, her eyelashes fluttering. After a while, she opened them.
She got up from her seat.
Her gaze fell on Tobias' face. "Tobias, you didn't wake up. I don't think I can wait any longer. I made a deal with your grandfather, and it's tto carry out my end of the deal." Natalie's voice was faint, and it carried endless sorrow.
"Farewell, Tobias." With that, Natalie walked out of the ward.

"Do you remember our agreement from a month ago?" he asked coldly.

However, there was no denying that Tobias was still comatose.
A thought occurred to Natalie in that instant. Perhaps even the heavens were against her and Tobias being together? She suddenly felt unbelievably exhausted.
Earlier that morning, she'd still been full of hope that Tobias would wake up.
However, at this moment, she felt that all of her hopes were robbed away at once.
Perhaps she was wrong.
Tobias might not wake up ever again.
Exhaustion washed over Natalie. She wanted to just close her eyes and get a good rest.
Peter's brows raised in surprise when he heard Natalie's words.
He'd always thought that Natalie was a scheming, cunning woman.
He had expected Natalie to worm her way out of their agreement with stricks.
To his surprise, she didn't say anything, nor did she pull anything funny.
"Get this woman onto a plane to Shalinton City and dump her in Pelham River for me." Peter forced himself to stay firm.
In that split second, when Peter saw that Natalie didn't try to get out of their agreement, he wavered.
If it weren't for their contract, he would've even let Natalie go.
However, since they'd already signed a contract, they had to stick to it.
The bodyguards seized Natalie's arms from both sides.
Cecilia's face turned as pale as a sheet.
Selina couldn't stand it anymore. "Grandpa, please let Natalie go. I promise I'll get her out of here this time. Please give her one more chance!" Selina pleaded with all her might.
Peter hardened his heart and turned away. "Take her away!" Uncontrollably, Selina burst into the ward and shouted at Tobias, "Tobias, open your eyes! Your woman is going to lose her life, but you're still lying here motionlessly! Are you still my heroic brother or not? Wake up, please wake up! Are you going to just lie here and watch Natalie die?!" The clock chimed at midnight.
Tobias was still lying on the bed, but this time, his fingers moved.
Then, his eyelids twitched.

His lips trembled. "Selina, what are you saying?" Cecilia stared at Selina. "Selina, say that again. Are you sure?" Selina sucked in a breath. "I said, Tobias is awake. I saw his fingers and eyelids moving. Cand see for yourselves!" Peter and Cecilia rushed into the intensive care unit without a further word.
Selina's gaze fell on Natalie.
She was still being held by the bodyguards.
"Let her go right now! Didn't you hear that my brother's awake?" The bodyguards were frightened by Selina's sudden aggression, and they immediately dropped Natalie like a hot potato.
Natalie stood there in a daze.

That was why Natalie was so dumbstruck at Selina's announcement that Tobias had woken up.
She felt like she was in a dream.

Selina walked up to Natalie, sniffling.
"Natalie, did you hear me? Tobias is awake, he really is You were right, he couldn't bear to watch you die, that's why he woke up right at the last moment!" Natalie did not move.

She turned to look at Selina, her lips trembling.
"You are... you are saying... he's awake?" "Yes, he's awake!" Selina said.

She tried to resist, but she was fighting a losing battle.
She was about to give in, when...
Tobias suddenly appeared in front of her.
