Chapter 1117 Stop Hiding The Truth
Patricia staggered backward at the news. “How is that possible? Since when was Natalie acquainted with Prince
Jonathan?”
Jerome said calmly, “They met each other once by coincidence back in Chanaea. However, Prince Jonathan didn’t
tell Natalie his true identity. She thought he was just an ordinary businessman.”
When Jerome finished his sentence, all of them fell silent. At the same time, their faces clouded over. If Bastien
were an ordinary person, the Sutton family would do anything to get Natalie out of the mess.
However, Natalie had formed a deep bond with the royal family, which meant that Daniel might not be able to
protect her again.
After pondering for some time, Patricia said firmly, “Natalie already has five children. Bastien can’t just do whatever

going to happen in the future. We’ll just do our best to protect her if they really meet again. Remember the time I
was still pregnant with Jerome? He and I almost died when we fled to Chanaea because of premature fetal
movement. It’s all thanks to Jennie that we survived. If not for her, Jerome and I wouldn’t be here today. This is a
favor Jerome and I owe her.”
Hugging his wife, Daniel promised, “Don’t worry. I’ll help you both with this.”
Jerome, too, nodded seriously. “I understand, Mother.” About ten hours later, Natalie finally opened her eyes. She
was finally awake.
When she tried to move, she felt a terrible ache spread all over her body. The right side, especially, put her in so
much pain when she had only moved just a little. She could not help but inhale sharply.
Hearing that, Jerome rushed to her side, gazing at her concernedly. “You’re awake!”
While she placed her hand on her wound, visions of what happened before she passed out came flooding back to
her mind. Immediately, she frowned. “Where am I? Tell me, where am I?”
“Don’t worry. This isn’t Luna Palace. This is my house.” Jerome propped Natalie up by placing a soft cushion behind
her, making it more comfortable for her to sit up. “I promised to send you home safely, and I’m going to keep my
word.”
“I remember seeing Bastien before I passed out…” Natalie grabbed the hem of Jerome’s shirt. “How did you bring
me back? Did Bastien cause you any trouble?”
She knew without a doubt that Jerome would protect her. However, Bastien was more powerful than Jerome in
Loang, and that was a fact.
She feared Jerome had offended Bastien by protecting her. Jerome answered half-heartedly, “You’re still injured.
Don’t worry about—”

“Jerome! Tell me the truth! What happened when I passed out? How were you able to bring me to your house?
What happened that Bastien agreed to let you take me away?” Natalie refused to let the matter go.
In the end, Jerome had no choice but to recount the incidents that happened after she fainted. Natalie was touched
by what she heard. “Uncle Daniel…”
Daniel and Patricia treated Natalie as if she was their biological daughter even though she was not. She swore to
always remember the kindness they had shown.
Meanwhile, Jerome brought some painkillers and anti-inflammatory pills for her.
After taking them, Natalie returned the glass to him.
Noting the hesitant look on his face, Natalie eyed him suspiciously and asked, “Do you have something to tell me?”
Jerome was mildly stumped. “H-How do you know?”
Natalie looked into his eyes and said plainly, “How can I not know? We grew up together, and I know the meaning
behind every expression you make. Stop hiding the truth. Just say whatever you need to say.”
