She shrugged at Natalie and said, "My mother used to work in the government. I'm not very clear about her affairs. Everything must wait until she regains consciousness." Natalie was a little anxious. "Then, when will Aunty wake up?" "My mother is getting better now. The doctor said that the probability of her waking up is very high. Don't worry." Natalie went into the ward to take a look at the woman who brought her to the orphanage.
Her nwas Jessie Lawson, and she was old enough to be Natalie's mother.
However, judging from her skin, she didn't look too old. Her skin was still rather delicate.
To ensure that she regained consciousness as soon as possible, Tobias wanted to arrange for the world's best medical team to come, but was opposed unanimously by her children. They had been living in North Europe for many years and bore a great sense of superiority. They thought that the North European doctors were truly the best doctors in the world.
Besides, their mother was getting better. If they changed the medical team, who knew what would happen. At her children's insistence, Natalie could only tell Tobias to forget about it. Tobias agreed.
Then they went to see the doctor again.
The doctor's explanation was the sas Jessie's children's, that Jessie was recovering now. But the doctor mentioned that before Jessie was hospitalised, her throat had been slightly damaged, so it might require stbefore she could recover her ability to speak.
Natalie felt very complicated.
On the one hand, she was happy that the doctor was confident that Jessie would definitely recover. There was a high probability of her getting to find out her birth and background soon.
On the other hand, the doctor said that it would take a lot of tfor Jessie's throat to recover after she regained consciousness, so Natalie may have to wait for a period of time. After thinking for a long time, Natalie decided to go back first.
She had already been prepared to not find out about her background immediately to begin with. She chere only to take a look.
Besides, she still had a lot of things to do.
Tobias had a company to take care of, plus she and Tobias had a wedding to prepare for. She couldn't possibly keep Tobias here to waste ttogether.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHence, on the second day, as Jessie hadn't woken up yet, Tobias and Natalie returned to Glevania.
Jessie's children also promised Natalie that they'd call her the moment Jessie was conscious.
An opposite of how she'd been when they were on the way here, Natalie was more relaxed now that she'd seen that there wasn't too much of an issue with Jessie.
Natalie and Tobias returned to Glevania.
They arrived hin the morning.
Upon returning to the Whitlock family villa, Natalie felt overcwith emotions.
Tobias had initially built this place for her. Unfortunately, due to the circumstances back then, she couldn't move in.
Now, after so many years, this place still belonged to her.
Natalie and Tobias were both exhausted from the events of the past few days, and they rested for the whole morning.
In the bedroom, Natalie and Tobias slept in each other's embrace.
The heavy curtains blocked the warm sun outside the window. The lighting in the room was dim.
Natalie and Tobias instantly fell asleep as soon as they hit the bed.
Natalie had a dream.
She dreamt of her parents. They were a very young couple, and they looked very gentle.
In the dream, they smiled at Natalie.
They told Natalie that they were happy to see that Natalie was very happy now.
"Natalie, you must be well. Mom and Dad will bless you," the young couple said to Natalie. Natalie stretched out her hand. She wanted to touch her parents, but there was nothing.
When she woke up, it was already noon.
The maid had already prepared lunch.
After breakfast, Tobias took Natalie to the beach.
They stayed there for a long time, their hearts feeling a little heavy.
Natalie sniffled and said, "Tobias, I was thinking... if I'd been more alert that day and hadn't gotten into that taxi, then all this wouldn't have happened. My father wouldn't have died." Tobias held Natalie in his arms and said, "Natalie, there are no 'what ifs'." Something tugged at Natalie's heartstrings.
That's right, there were no 'what ifs'.
Tobias recalled what had happened on that day and lowered his voice. "Natalie, your father... your father didn't say anything towhen he pushedinto the container and closed it." Natalie lightly responded, "Oh." Life wasn't like a TV show. In TV shows, people always had plenty of tto say whatever they wanted before dying.
But the reality was that dying people had no chance to say even a single sentence.
"However, he smiled at me, and I could tell that he was very happy in that moment. It was a smile of relief, of liberation." Tobias' gaze fell on the surface of the ocean. Natalie's whole body shook.
She looked at Tobias and asked, "Really?" Tobias's gaze fell back on Natalie's face. "Really, Natalie. I wouldn't lie to you." Countless emotions swirled in Natalie's eyes, and she suddenly feared up.
James was smiling in his final moments? And it was a smile of relief.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmNatalie suddenly recalled how unhappy James had been after finding her and moving into her apartment.
He rarely smiled. It was only when he saw Hayden that he would occasionally smile.
Natalie's eyelashes trembled.
Actually, James was probably unhappy back then.
James had only wished for a happy and harmonious family all his life.
Unfortunately, Queenie, Brayden, and Madison were not such people.m SXaXh the FindNovwebsite on Google to access chapters of early and in the highest quality. Madison never treated James as her husband. In her eyes, James was just a money-making machine.
Queenie and Brayden also didn't consider James as their father.m Otherwise, Queenie wouldn't have landed a heavy kick on James when they were onboard the ship. Natalie beceven more teary-eyed.
Perhaps back on the ship when Queenie kicked James, he had already seen through it all. He m understood that the happiness he had wanted was just nothing but his own illusion. Hence, the moment he saved Tobias and knew that he was going to die, he smiled in relief. Natalie suddenly felt a huge lump in her throat.
"Tobias, why do good people not get good endings?" she said bitterly.
James was a good person, but why did he not get good endings in return? Why were the heavens so unfair? Tobias didn't say anything.
"Natalie, let's go." After a while, he said, "Let's find your Dad a home." Natalie's fingertips trembled a little.
She took another look at the vast blue sea and followed Tobias.
The hthey found for James was a high-end cemetery in the local town.
Natalie carefully placed James' final belongings in a box.
Two names were carved on the tombstone.
