For the first time, Tobias shot Natalie a frustrated look and stomped off.
Even his footsteps sounded angry.
Natalie's long black lashes lowered, forming halfmoons against her scarlet cheeks.
It was better if he was gone.
She comforted herself.
Tobias was in love with another woman anyway; a woman whom he could never forget.
He should get that woman back instead of coming to her.
Besides, no matter how much Hayden liked her, she could never compare to his biological mother.
The woman that Tobias truly loved was Hayden's biological mother.
She turned to glance into the emergency room.
All she wanted now was for Remington to regain consciousness.
Natalie did not expect Tobias to return.
It had only been half an hour since he stomped off earlier.
Her heart almost flatlined when she saw his prominent figure from afar.
She had even thought that she was seeing things.
Natalie rubbed her eyes and looked closer. It really was him! And he was striding towards her.
In his hands were snacks like bread and biscuits.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe sat beside her and muttered, "I know you've lost your appetite, so have ssnacks instead. I'll ask the chef to cook for you if you'd like to have something to eat." That simple sentence almost made Natalie burst into tears.
She didn't expect that he would cback.
And she definitely would never have thought that he would care whether she was in the mood to eat or not; let alone, bring snacks for her.
Warmth surged in her heart, making leaps and waves.
At that moment, Natalie wished more than anything to throw herself into his arms, but she fought back the urge to do that.
Remington was still in critical condition. It would be despicable to do this to him now.
Natalie suppressed the wave of emotions undulating beneath her and said, "I am not in the mood to eat, Mr. Whitlock. You should take them away." "It's okay if you don't eat. I'll wait here. Tellwhen you're hungry." Tobias seemed to have returned to his usual gentle self.
Natalie's heart gave a pang, the ache too difficult to bear.
She sat on the bench stiffly, ignoring Tobias.
Tobias silently sat by her side.
Natalie knew he was a busy man, so she thought he probably wouldn't waste his tkeeping her company. However, to her surprise, he had stayed with her the whole time.
The two of them waited on the bench for the entire night without saying a word to each other.
The next day, Natalie received a call from Yvonne.
"Are you all right, Natalie?" When she called Natalie the day before, Natalie sounded strange, so she was worried about her.
"Yes, I'm good." Natalie forced a small chuckle.
She didn't want Yvonne to worry about her.
"Good to hear that. I just wanted to tell you that I'm now the female lead in a web series," Yvonne squealed in excitement as she shared the good news.
If it weren't for the situation now, Natalie would have shrieked in joy and felt overjoyed for Yvonne, perhaps even suggesting a celebration.
But at this moment, she was really not in the mood at all.
"Congratulations, Yvonne! I have got to go. I'm in the middle of something," she interjected.
Yvonne was stunned.
"Alright, I won't hold you then. Callback when you are free, okay?" "Okay." Natalie grimaced.
Yvonne hung up the phone.
It was only a few hours ago when she was in high spirits, but now, she was hit by a piece of dreadful news.
She did not expect a mere photo could cause such a ginormous misunderstanding.
All of a sudden, she had becthe focus of everyone's attention. Now, everyone was speculating and gossiping about her background.
People were unconvinced that a nobody like her, who had signed under a small production company, could be given such a good opportunity. Netizens accused Yvonne of allegedly sleeping her way to the top. And coincidentally, Yvonne had posted a photo of her and Kyle yesterday.
The photo of them smiling into the camera.
Kyle was one of the well-known directors in the industry. He definitely had the power to give Yvonne such an opportunity.
As a result, the photo of her and Kyle went viral, and the comment section exploded with various comments - tinged with all sorts of maliciousness.
"Oh my god. She was willing to sleep with someone who's almost sixty-years-old to score the role! Shon her." "Shon you, old man Kyle. How could you do this?" "It seems that the actress was willing to risk everything to get the role. Although Kyle is a talented director, he's too old for her. Can you really stand him, Simpson girl?" "Look at how happy he was in the photo. He must have enjoyed himself very much last night." Scrolling through the unending sea of comments, Yvonne could only gawk at what they wrote. These people had a great imagination.
She just happened to bump into Kyle and took a photo with him. How could they have twisted that into a full- blown scandal? Penney, on the other hand, blamed herself as she apologized profusely to Yvonne.
She didn't expect that her idea would bring such a negative impact upon Yvonne.
"I'm really sorry, Yvonne. I thought that the photo could help garner spositive attention. Who knew that it would be turned into a scandal." Penney's voice wavered as she held back tears of regret.
Of course, they couldn't delete the photo now. It would just mean that Yvonne was guilty, confirming the people's speculations.
Yvonne comforted Penney, "Don't think too much about it. We would never have guessed it." Just when Yvonne thought that this matter would die down after a while, it had the opposite effect, ballooning into something even worse.

Suddenly, Jenkins's face popped into her mind.
Her heart skipped a beat as she thought about him.
Had Jenkins heard about the news already? He wouldn't believe that, would he? Natalie did not know what to do anymore.
Tobias did not go to work. Instead, he just kept keeping her company, even asking someone to send them breakfast the next morning.
He had ordered porridge, milk, and doughnuts for her.
But Natalie had zero appetite. S'a''h thi Find "øelwebsite on Googl website to access chapters of early and in the highest quality. She only hoped that Tobias would leave soon.
"Mr. Whitlock, when will you leave?" She pleaded.
"I'll leave whenever you leave." "There are a lot more important matters to attend to at YS Group. Why are you wasting your there?" "You are more important than anything else." Natalie fell silent.
Tobias said nothing more, and he stayed by her side quietly.
Until Yeason came.
He was so anxious that he didn't even notice that Tobias was sitting beside Natalie. "Miss Godfrey, the doctor just called me, and he toldthat Remington's condition had worsened." Of course, Tobias heard him as clear as day.
He turned to stare at Natalie, utter bafflement in his eyes.
He never probed who the patient in the emergency room was at all. He just assumed that it was one of Natalie's friends.
He also thought that the reason Natalie refused to leave was that she was trying to avoid him.
Never in a million years would he have guessed that the person lying inside was Remington Whitlock.
