Chapter 1069
Along with Merlin''s portrait, he had brought some of her belongings that she had used when she
was alive. He put them in almost every room of the vi.
Sherman thought the man was a psychopath. He felt sad that Merlin had passed away, and she
could understand him.
''But is it necessary for you to do that?''
When Sherman was about to say something, Kingsley raised his eyebrows to stop her. He shook
his head and gestured to her not to say anything.
Seeing this, Sherman didn''t say anything. She held her ss of water and sipped it.
Seeing Luke busy with arranging Merlin''s belongings, Kingsley didn''t say anything and just let him
do whatever he wanted.
When Luke had almost finished arranging the items, Kingsley raised his wrist, looked at his watch
and said, "It''s gettingte. We have to go back. If you want t o sort out the things you haven''t sorted
out by yourself, you can continue. If you don''t want to do it, I''ll ask the housekeeper toe here..."
Hearing these words, Luke froze in ce. "''It''s gettingte. We have to go back." Where are they
going?''
Kingsley casually took his suit jacket from the hanger, stretched his arms, and put the suit jacket
over his shirt. As he straightened the cor of his white shirt, h e said, "Sorry, I forgot to tell you that
I''m living in her apartment..."
''Forgot to tell me?'' Luke was very angry.
Sherman nced at Luke, whose look told her that he was furious.
She thought Kingsley was a bit sly. He said nothing but watched Luke arrange Merlin''s belongings.
Before saying these words, he waited until Luke was almost done with the work.
Kingsley did it on purpose.
In the morning, Natalie''s cell phone rang while she was eating breakfast.
She looked at her cell phone and saw it was an unknown call, so she declined it directly.
Natalie had restrained herself and stopped making trouble at the Day family since she was in the
news. After all, her behavior was a disgrace to the Day family, and Billy''s father wasn''t nice to her.
Natalie declined the phone, and then it rang again, so Natalie declined it again. Seeing what she
had done, everyone at the table stopped their forks.

"It''s an unknown phone number. I don''t know it." She exined it softly and politely.
Billy gave her a lukewarm look and kept on eating his breakfast. The phone rang again, from the
same unknown number.
Natalie thought that the person who called her must have something urgent to tell her. Otherwise,
the person wouldn''t call her again and again.
In front of everyone, she answered the phone, "Hello?"
"It''s me," said the person over the phone. It was a man''s voice, sounding a little familiar and a little
strange.
Natalie didn''t recognize his voice for a moment. She frowned and asked again, "Who are you?"
"Dr. Zack."
Then Natalie''s heart beat faster. Her hand, which was holding the phone, trembled slightly. She felt
that her throat was dry.
At this moment, Billy''s eyes swept over her by coincidence and fell on her face.
Natalie felt weak and her body trembled. Holding the fork tightly, she pretended to be as calm as
possible. She said, "Yes, I''m eating breakfast now. I''ll call you back when I''m done eating."
Moriah casually asked who it was, but Natalie was so scared that she dropped her fork on the floor.
She bent down to pick up the fork. She smiled and said that it was a friend of hers.
After having eaten breakfast, Billy went to thepany, but Natalie didn''t. She made up an excuse
that she wasn''t feeling well and she had to meet a friend, so she needed half a day off. She said
she would go to thepany in the afternoon.
Billy didn''t say anything. He nced at her, walked out of the living room and drove off in his
Bentley.
Clutching the pit of her stomach, Natalie called Dr. Zack back and asked what he had called her
about.
Dr. Zack said that he was in trouble and needed money. He said it was hard to express his situation
clearly over the phone and wanted to meet her.
Natalie agreed. She took a taxi from the Day family''s vi to the ce they agreed on. It was a cafe,
which was kind of secluded. What they had booked was a private room.
Dr. Zack said he had a bad year. He wasn''t in the best o f spirits after having been kicked out of
Santabaca. One day, when he treated a patient, he made a careless mistake with the medicine and
the patient died. The patient''s family demandedpensation from him. Besides, his wife was
seriously ill, and his son was about to get married and then nned to study in Athana with his
girlfriend after marriage. He needed money badly now.
Natalie frowned. ''Has he worked all these years for nothing? Has he worked all these years and
hasn''t saved a single penny?''
She didn''t ask about it. Why did she ask him so much? Even if she asked, he may not tell the truth.
So Natalie just asked him how much money he wanted?
After having thought for a moment, Dr. Zack answered, "Five million dors."
Natalie thought he demanded a sky-high price. ''Five million dors? Does he think five million
dors is a small amount? Besides, how can I have five million dors?''
''Does he think five million dors is fifty or five hundred dors? Does he speak without thinking?''
"I don''t have five million dors. What you said is impossible. If you really want money, you must
lower the amount of money," Natalie said.
