Chapter 362
"My return to thepany is to be postponed," Tobias interrupted Benjamin''s rant.
"But Mr. Whitlock, it''s going to be a mess if things go on like this."
Beep, Beep, Beep.
Tobias had already ended the call.
The evening soon arrived, and Tobias was currently standing in front of Natalie.
"Natalie, time for a shower, okay?"
She had not taken any showers during the few days when she was hospitalized.
She nodded. Even in her current state, she could still smell the strange stenching from her
body.
He brought her into the bathroom.
He helped her remove her clothes.
Natalie''s eyes trembled in response.
Tobias softly assured her, "Natalie, I''m here to help you. I won''t do anything else."
She lowered her head.
He first rinsed her hair.
His fingers moved very gently. He then wiped her body down as well.
All of his actions werepletely devoid of lust.
At the end of everything, he helped her put on her clothes.
Natalie was in her pajamas now, and she looked like a rag doll without a soul.
Tobias then followed her upstairs.
At night, he held her tightly in his arms.
In the middle of the night, she suddenly started nuzzling herself deeper into his embrace.
He felt dampness on his body.
His hand went to caress her face, only to find that it was soaked with tears.
"Natalie, don''t cry." Tobias'' lips lightly grazed Natalie''s face. Little by little, he kissed away the tears
that streaked down her face.
With her hand gripped tightly in his, he said, "Natalie, I''ll stay with you forever."
"Natalie, I''ll stay with you forever."
She would still be thinking of this statement a month into the future.
He had told her that he would always be by her side.
He gave her hope when she was in the pit of despair.
The next day, the warm morning sun shone through the floor-to-ceiling windows.
Natalie was still held tightly by Tobias.
However, she felt like she was freezing.
Even with the sunlight casting in, she could not feel any vitality at all.
Everything was in darkness.
On this day, her state remained the same.
She stared at the crystal chandelier hanging from the ceiling with listless eyes.
Selina was extremely troubled too.
She incessantly asked Tobias how Natalie ended up in such a state.
Even Aunt Lee was troubled as she constantly went upstairs to check on Natalie.
However, she didn''t say a word to Aunt Lee either; it was as if the polite and lovable Natalie no
longer existed.
Tobias asked for Simon to meet him.
He had a very strong intuition that if things continued, Natalie would remain the same too.
He was starting to get anxious too.
Her current state filled him with an unspeakable fear,
Simon soon arrived at the Whitlock family''s residence.
Selina was acquainted with him as well.
When she saw him, she suddenly understood something.
Could it be that Natalie''s abnormal state was caused by a psychological problem?
She immediately panicked. Why would Natalie have a psychological problem when she was such a
cheerful and optimistic person to begin with?
She had a lot of questions she wanted to ask, but once she noticed the heavy atmosphere, she did
not dare speak.
Simon looked at Tobias and asked, "Tobias, you truly don''t want to wait anymore?"
He shook his head. "Let''s begin."
"You''re not one to lose your cool, Tobias." Simon sent a heavy nce at him.
Tobias'' gaze was hard. "Simon, I''m really afraid that something serious has happened to Natalie. I
don''t want to dy things any longer."
For those who cared about her a lot, it was impossible for them to remainposed.
As he saw the ssy- eyed Natalie with a nk expression on her face, Tobias was afraid that she
might''ve lost her mind.
Simon sighed.
He had heard from Tobias about Natalie''s state after she was discharged from the hospital. It was
just as Tobias had spected. Simon also believed that it would be difficult for Natalie to recover on
her own in her current state. She definitely needed hypnosis and mental intervention.
"Tobias, I think it''s best to do this in a situation where it is eptable to Miss Godfrey. What do you
think?" Simon asked.
Tobias pondered things for a moment.
"Okay, I''ll go upstairs and talk to her," he replied.
He promptly went upstairs. Natalie was still lying on the bed, her eyes still fixed on the crystal
chandelier hanging from the ceiling.
Her gaze waspletely devoid of everything.
His heart ached at the sight.

He held her hand and said softly, "Natalie, I know you''re in a sour mood now, but you can''t always
live in pain, right?"
Her hand shifted a little.
Tobias met her eyes with his own dark orbs. "Natalie, can you sit up?"
His voice was so gentle that it seemed as if he could melt a ten-thousand-year-old cier.
A momentter, Natalie really did sit up.
However, her eyes were still dull, and her face was still expressionless.
"Natalie, I''ve brought a person here and if you''re in any pain, can you tell himter? He is my best
friend and he will help you. Natalie, if you agree, please nod your head."
She did not respond.
"Natalie, please nod at me. I''m very worried about you."
Natalie nodded.
Tobias heaved a sigh of relief.
He called Simon upstairs.
"Miss Godfrey." Simon greeted her with a smile.
His voice was rxed.
Natalie nodded, but her face had no expression whatsoever.
"Miss Godfrey, let us begin."
After saying so, Simon turned to Tobias and said, "Tobias, do leave the room. While I''m chatting
with Miss Godfrey, don''t let anyone disturb us. We need some space for privacy."
In Tobias'' eyes, Simon was a very trustworthy person.
He nodded and was just about to leave when Natalie suddenly stood up.
She gripped his hand tightly.
Tobias'' breathing came to a halt.
"Natalie, don''t be afraid. Simon here is my best friend. He will help you," he said.
Natalie shook her head.
Tobias'' brows furrowed. A momentter, he looked at Simon and said, "Simon, can I stay here?
Natalie needs me to apany her."
He hesitated for a moment before replying, "Fine, then."
Melodious music started to ring out in the spacious bedroom.
The music was very light and gentle.
It was a type of music that pulled people into inexplicable sleepiness.
Natalie felt that her eyelids were getting heavier and heavier.
She didn''t want to go to sleep, but her eyelids couldn''t hold on any longer.
Finally, she closed her eyes.
However, when she closed her eyes, she strangely did not feel anything at all.
This time, her consciousness was clear.
Natalie first saw a cave in front of her before a gentle male voice sounded in her ear.
"Natalie, do you see the cave in front? Walk into it. You''ll see another world."
She walked in and all she could see was blinding white light.
"Natalie, go ahead, don''t stop."
The man''s voice was so tempting that she couldn''t help but do as he said.
Step by step, Natalie passed through the white light.
After exiting the cave, it was really another world.
It was a world that she had never seen before.
