Natalie held herself tightly.
"Natalie," Selina cried out, rushing over to her.
Natalie's eyes flew open when she heard Selina's voice.
"Has... Has Tobias woken up?" she asked urgently, her gaze fixed on Selina.
"No, he isn't awake," Selina said in a low voice. "I'm here to check on you." At that, Natalie seemed to wilt.
"Oh." Her voice was filled with disappointment.
Selina gazed at the storm and then turned to look at Natalie. "I'll find you a place to stay." The weather was nasty outside, and she was worried that Natalie would get sick if she stayed outside the hospital any longer.
She'd just spoken when bright lights shone on them.
Selina's hand flew in front of her face, shielding her eyes instinctively.
A black vehicle was parked outside, and someone stepped out.
It was Matthew. He got out of the car with a black umbrella in his hand.
He woke up in the middle of the night and realized that the weather had changed suddenly. He was worried about Natalie, so he cover to check on her too.
"Matthew?" Selina was visibly surprised.
Matthew cleared his throat, his tone gentle. "I'm here to check on Natalie." An unreadable expression glinted in Selina's eyes.
Then, she waggled her finger at Matthew, gesturing him over. "Chere, Uncle." Matthew was baffled, but he followed her anyway.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSelina glared at him. "Uncle, you're not interested in Natalie, are you? Lettell you, Tobias might be unconscious now, but he's going to wake up sooner or later. You shouldn't be doing something like this." It had only just occurred to Selina how odd Matthew's actions were. He was being so kind to Natalie, even coming here in the middle of the night to check on her.
Matthew was taken aback, obviously baffled.
A trace of helplessness flashed across his face.
Of course he didn't have any feelings for Natalie. He was kind to her only because she was Tobias' woman.
Tobias was his best friend, and he was willing to take a bullet for Tobias, not to mention a small favor like this. "You're overthinking. I do have someone I like, but it's not Natalie." Matthew's gaze fell on Selina's face.
His gaze was deep, yet clear. She couldn't see anything hidden in them.
Selina waved her doubts away. Matthew didn't seem to be lying.
"We should find Natalie a place to stay. Mr. Whitlock won't allow her into the hospital, and she'll definitely catch a cold if she continues to stay out here," Matthew continued. Selina thought the same.
They went to persuade Natalie.
Unfortunately, Natalie was very determined, and she refused to leave no matter what.
"I want to wait here. Tobias is here, and I don't want to leave him," she insisted.
In the end, nothing Selina said changed Natalie's mind.
She decided to go all out this time. "I don't care anymore. I'll bring you in, Natalie." Natalie's breath hitched.
Without any further explanation, Selina grabbed Natalie's hand and pulled her into the hospital.
She knew that her behaviour would infuriate Peter, but she couldn't bring herself to feel too bothered.
She could not stand by and watch Natalie suffer outside the hospital.
Matthew's gaze turned dark as he watched the two of them enter the hospital.
Natalie insisted on going straight to the intensive care unit after they entered the hospital.
But Selina suggested finding a room for Natalie to have ssleep.
"Natalie, you're dressed in so few layers, and it was so cold out there. I'll get a nurse to find you a room for you to rest. Let's talk again tomorrow, okay?" Selina said. Natalie shook her head stubbornly. "I want to see Tobias. I want to see him now." Then, without warning, she ran directly towards the ward.
However, the moment she reached the entrance, Peter was just walking out of the ward.
Peter didn't get much sleep since he couldn't stop worrying about Tobias, so he cto check on Tobias instead. He didn't expect to see Natalie when he cout. Their eyes met.
Peter immediately turned furious. "Why is this woman here again?" He thought he had already ordered the bodyguards to throw her out, and he was shocked to see her again.
This Natalie was haunting him like a ghost! "Guards! Guards!" he shouted.
Soon, a group of bodyguards appeared.
Selina quickly stepped forward and stopped them. "Grandpa, it was me. I brought Natalie in." Peter's gaze shot at Selina sharply. "Are you rebelling againstas well, Selina? Are you trying to givea heart attack?" He was already angry at Tobias for choosing Natalie over his family. Now, even Selina was under Natalie's spell. It was as if the two siblings were trying to give him a heart attack.
Selina's tone was pleading. "Grandpa, please just let Natalie in. It's pouring cats and dogs out there, and the wind is blowing so strongly. Natalie will catch a cold if she stays out there. Grandpa, just let Natalie in." However, despite Selina's pleas, Peter wouldn't budge an inch.
He roared at the bodyguards, "Why are you all still standing here? Drag her out of here and throw her somewhere further away, far enough that she won't be able to find her way back here!" The bodyguards cto their senses at once, and they marched towards Natalie in unison.
Natalie struggled in their grip with all her might.
Peter's words frightened her.
She was afraid that if Peter threw her to a place where she would never be able to return, then she would never see Tobias again.

"Are you people rebelling as well? How can it be possible for men like yourselves to not catch a woman? Get out of here, all of you!" Peter raged. The bodyguards gritted their teeth and decided to give it their all.
Meanwhile, Natalie was running towards the ward, unaware of the bodyguards lunging at her. Natalie's escape was interrupted by a strong impact on her back that knocked her to the ground.
"Bang!" Natalie fell to the floor with a loud thud.
The bodyguards were suddenly at a loss of what to do. They were unsure of their next move.
Natalie lay on the ground weakly, her head spinning. After a while, she regained her consciousness.
The ICU wasn't far from her. She was only a few steps away.
Soon, she could finally see Tobias again.
She gritted her teeth and propped herself up.
However, her limbs were weak, and she was unable to stand up at all.
The fall had hurt her quite a bit, plus waiting outside in the rain for the whole day also made her weak.
