Chapter 99
Tobias was about to start a meeting where all the directors were already present. Just when he was
about to put his phone on silent and start the meeting, he received a phone call from Aunt Lee.
"What''s the matter?" Tobias'' voice was faint.
"Mr. Whitlock. Miss Godfrey seems to have encountered an ident. Her face is bruised. It looks
like she was beaten by someone. I asked her what had happened, but she refused to say anything."
Aunt Lee sounded so anxious. She sounded like she was on the verge of tears.
Tobias'' breathing paused momentarily, and after a while, his eyebrows furrowed slightly.
"I''ming back home now." Tobias hung up.
"Our meeting today will be suspended for now. We will postpone it to ater date." After saying that,
Tobias immediately left the group of directors who were exchanging nces amongst themselves
and stormed out of the conference room.
A Bugatti Veyron reached the Whitlock Family''s apartment not long after. Tobias got out of the car
and hurried upstairs.
When he saw Natalie, Tobias'' eyes narrowed slightly, and then a me was ignited within him.
Natalie was half lying on the sofa, and she seemed to be staring at the crystalmp on the ceiling
with her eyes wide open. She looked absent-minded. Her clothes were tattered and were covered
with dust and weeds, and there were faint bloodstains on her face.
"Natalie." Tobias walked over.
His tone was low and hoarse.
When she saw a tall and handsome man appear in front of her out of the blue, Natalie jumped up in
shock.
She gaped at Tobias as she stammered, "You, why did youe back so suddenly?"
It was still early. Why did this mane back so suddenly?
Tobias did not answer Natalie''s question. He stared at Natalie with his deep ck eyes and asked,
"What happened to your body and face?"
Natalie''s eyes lit up for one moment, but then she smiled dryly and replied, "It''s nothing serious. I
just fell a while ago."
Tobias''s eyes were focused on Natalie''s face. "The bloodstains on your face tells me that you were
beaten by someone. Are you going to continue iming that you fell?"
Natalie''s smile looked even more reluctant. "I''m telling the truth. It''s just a fall."
"Let''s go to the hospital now." Tobias didn''t want to continue this useless conversation with Natalie
anymore. Since Natalie was badly injured, she must be sent to the hospital immediately.
"The hospital? There''s no need for that. I''ll recover on my own. I don''t need to go to the hospital,"
Natalie protested. This was not her first time getting beaten up like this. Every time, she would
recover without anyplications.
She was full of vitality like a stubborn weed. Some minor injury like this wouldn''t defeat her just yet.
"Listen to me." Tobias cast a deep look at Natalie.
His tone wasmanding, but there was a hint of imperceptible tenderness mixed in his voice.
Natalie''s heart suddenly jumped.
When this man insisted that she listened to him, she realized that she could refuse him no more.
Natalie was about to stand up when she suddenly felt a piercing pain throbbing across her body. It
would be difficult for her to stand up properly.
Tobias frowned slightly, and after a while, he abruptly swept Natalie off her feet, carrying her in his
arms.
Natalie was terrified when she was suspended off the ground all of a sudden. She hung her arms
around Tobias'' neck subconsciously.
"Put, put me down. I can walk by myself." Seeing that Tobias was carrying her out of the apartment
and taking the stairs, Natalie protested in embarrassment.
"Do you think you can walk in this state?" Tobias nced sideways at Natalie.
"I can! I can even run!" Natalie stubbornly replied.
"Let me carry you. At this time, as your husband, I am obligated to carry you." Tobias answered
lightly.
Natalie''s face turned red because of Tobias''s words.
He had mentioned the word "husband".
She suddenly felt very embarrassed.
Soon, Tobias drove her to a nearby hospital. When he was on the way, Tobias had already made
the necessary arrangements. The moment he arrived, a few medical staff immediately brought
Natalie to do a check-up.
Natalie knew that she usually had to register or queue when she visited the hospital to seek
treatment. However, it was the first time she discovered as soon as she arrived at the hospital,
people were weing her immediately. She didn''t need to register or queue.
Sure enough, he was undoubtedly the president of the YS Group. People gave him special
treatments.
Soon, the results of Natalie''s medical check- up came out. Natalie was fine, but her hand was
slightly fractured.
In no time, Natalie''s hand was wrapped in a cast.
The dean of the hospital said respectfully to Tobias, "Mr. Whitlock, she just needs to go back and
have a good rest. She will be fine soon."
Tobias was relieved after hearing that. He then took Natalie home.
Along the way, Natalie anticipated that Tobias would ask her about the perpetrator who had done
this to her, but she did not expect that Tobias would remain silent throughout the journey.
It was not that Natalie wanted to hide the truth from Tobias. She didn''t feel like bringing up such an
ugly incident, which she had always kept to herself.
After all, such a thing would not happen in any other family.
She would rather keep it to herself than revealing them to anyone.
After arriving at the apartment, Natalie looked at the clock and asked Tobias, "Aren''t you going back
to thepany?"
"I''ll apany you today." Tobias'' depthless eyes fell on Natalie''s face. "My wife is injured. Do you
think I still have the mood to return to my work at thepany?"
Natalie felt like her breathing had paused slightly.
Her eyshes quivered slightly as she retorted, "We are just husband and wife by arrangement.
You have already sent me to the hospital and brought me back. You don''t need to do this."
"Even though we''re bound by an agreement, we are still husband and wife," Tobias replied ndly.
After that, Tobias apanied Natalie until Aunt Lee was finally done preparing dinner.
Natalie stared at the sumptuous dinner, but she didn''t have any appetite. She didn''t feel like eating.
"If you don''t eat well, you won''t recover fast." Tobias looked at Natalie.
Natalie shook her head and said, "I don''t know why, but I don''t feel like eating these. I want to eat
some noodles or something simr."
Aunt Lee quickly suggested, "Miss Godfrey, I''ll go make some noodles for you." Tobias stood up
and said, "Let me do it."
Natalie stared at Tobias in disbelief.
"What? Is Tobias making noodles for me?" She pondered.
The respected president of the YS Group was going to cook for her! Natalie couldn''t believe this.
Tobias disappeared into the kitchen after saying that. Natalie whispered to Aunt Lee, "Aunt Lee, has
Tobias ever been in the kitchen?"
Aunt Lee shook her head and replied, "Mr. Whitlock is always busy. How could it be possible for him
to appear in the kitchen?"
Waves after waves of ripples were spreading out in Natalie''s heart.
She thought, "Even though I was treated terribly by Madison and Queenie today, at least there are
still people who treat me well here. This will make up for everything!"
While waiting, Natalie was wondering what kind of noodles Tobias would make for her.

Although making noodles was as easy as pie, it would still be a little challenging for a man like
Tobias, who has never cooked in his whole life.
She could picture Tobiasmanding the business world, but she couldn''t imagine Tobias cooking
in the kitchen.
After a short while, Tobias emerged from the kitchen. When she saw Tobias and the bowl of noodles
in his hands, Natalie was stunned.
She never expected to witness such a scene!
