Chapter 549


    Natalie nearly broke down at Yeason''s words and cried. "What should we do? Will he be okay?


    Please let him be alright!"


    Remington was still young with a long road ahead, filled with potential and opportunities. How could


    anything happen to him?


    Besides, he got into such a terrible ident all because of her.


    If something bad happened to Remington, Natalie would never forgive herself for the rest of her life.


    "Don''t worry, Miss Godfrey. The doctor only said that there is a risk of his condition deteriorating, but


    he may get better." Yeason immediately regretted telling Natalie the news after seeing her


    emotional reaction.


    Then, he noticed that someone else was staring at him.


    He flinched in surprise.


    Minutes ago, he was so anxious to break the news that he didn''t even notice the man next to them.


    "Mr. Whitlock," he blurted.


    Of course, he knew Tobias.


    Tobias ignored him. Instead, he looked at Natalie coldly. "Natalie, you''re doing all this because of


    him?"


    No wonder Natalie suddenly wanted to break up with him. It was because of Remington.


    Did she love Remington?


    Natalie gritted her teeth. "Yes, I am breaking up with you because of him. We are done."


    Her words sounded like knives stabbing into his eardrums, and every breath he took turned into


    pain.


    Tobias sucked in a deep breath to calm himself down.


    His deep-set eyes lingered on her face, and it hurt him to look at her. "Who is he to you?" He


    questioned.


    Natalie frowned a little. A hint of confusion shed across her face briefly, then disappeared.


    Who exactly were they to each other?


    She wasn''t really sure about that herself.


    She was only guessing that they were once a couple.


    Otherwise, how could she exin the mystery of her first time?


    Besides, why would Remington pursue her relentlessly immediately after she woke up from her


    coma?


    He even nearly died in the Amazon Jungle because of her.


    Of course, these were just her assumptions, and she still needed confirmation from the other party.


    She hesitated for a moment and said, "We are a couple."


    Natalie''s voice was timid and uncertain.


    However, they were enough to stab into Tobias''s heart like a sharp sword.


    His face darkened immediately, growling. "You''re lying!"


    He was the only man that Natalie had ever been with since the start.


    Natalie''s eyshes fluttered, a little intimidated.


    She clenched her teeth guiltily then lied, "I am telling the truth."


    Tobias grew even more infuriated. All the kindness from his face was now nowhere to be seen. In


    their stead was a dark, brooding expression.


    Deep lines creased his forehead, making his handsome features look extra intimidating. "Natalie,


    don''t test my patience."


    Natalie''s lips twitched as her eyes widened ever so slightly.


    This Tobias looked terrifying.


    She didn''t dare to say anything more.


    So, she kept her mouth shut.


    Tobias''s controlled expression grew more turbulent. A muscle in his jaw ticked as he held in his


    anger, but he didn''t probe any further.


    Time passed by slowly. Suddenly, Tobias pulled out his phone to make a call.


    Natalie overheard his conversation, and her eyes glinted with astonishment.


    Tobias was arranging for a doctor toe to the hospital.


    She didn''t know why he was doing this.


    She took a mental note of the names of several doctors that he mentioned and ran over to Yeason''s


    side.


    "Mr. Lawson, do you know these doctors?" She asked carefully.


    Yeason''s face lit up, and he replied delightedly, "These are the best doctors in the healthcare


    industry. Remington might have a chance if they were here to treat him."

    Natalie was stunned.


    She didn''t understand why Tobias would help Remington.


    It was clear that Remington had nothing to do with him. In fact, they wereplete strangers.


    On the other hand, Yeason muttered to himself, "It seems that even though Mr. Whitlock is not on


    good terms with Remington, he still could not bear to let him suffer. They are brothers, after all."


    At the mention of "brothers", Natalie felt like someone had whacked her head with a hammer, her


    mind exploding into static.


    Remington and Tobias were brothers?


    Tobias was Remington''s older brother?


    Although they shared the same surname, she had never thought that they were rted, and only


    thought of it as a coincidence.


    Their appearances and personalities were as different as apple and orange.


    How could they be brothers?


    And she had never heard about it from either of them.


    Remington Whitlock. Tobias Whitlock.


    A sharp pain jolted in her head.


    A hazy memory shed across her mind.


    Remington pursued her. Tobias pursued her. They were brothers—


    As blurry shbacks invaded her mind, the piercing pain along with it didn''t stop, causing Natalie to


    crouch on the floor, cradling her head in her arms.


    Every time she felt a spark of some trace of past memories, her head would hurt so much that it felt


    like it might split open once she tried reaching towards the spark.


    Natalie stayed crouched on the floor for a long time until she heard the sound of footsteps


    approaching her.


    The person was so close to her that she could smell his familiar scent.


    Her breath hitched.


    "Are you okay, Natalie?" He gently cooed and took her into his arms.


    She sunk into his warm embrace, craving for his touch and the feeling of him against her skin.


    However, Natalie''s senses overtook her and she fought the desire to stay in his arms by tearing


    herself away.


    "Mr. Whitlock," she croaked, her tone awkward and distant.


    Tobias''s gazended on her face, his deep eyes now brimming with warmth. The previous rage and


    anger in those beautiful eyes had dissipated.


    He handed her a sandwich and said sweetly, "You''re hungry. Have some bread. Look at you, all


    dizzy because you''re starving yourself."


    However, the reason she was crouching on the ground was not that she was hungry or dizzy, but


    because she was suffering from a massive headache.


    But the sandwich was already stuffed in her hands, and she didn''t want to refuse his kindness.


    Besides, she was indeed starving.


    Natalie finished the sandwich in big gulps.


    Tobias had been very thoughtful. He knew her so well that he had even bought her her favorite tuna


    sandwich.


    She felt much better after eating something.


    "Aren''t you angry at me, Mr. Whitlock?" She asked weakly.


    Natalie gave him a wary nce.


    Tobias looked helpless. "Never say that you''re breaking up with me again, Natalie."


    He sounded perplexed, but his tone was cautionary and had a hint of warning to it.


    Natalie bit her lips hard and replied softly, "But I am breaking up with you."


    "Natalie!" Tobias raised his voice, the veins on his forehead throbbing.


    She lowered her gaze and said nothing.


    He sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose, not saying anything else.


    An awkward silence wedged itself between them.


    Finally, Natalie blurted out the question that was pestering her thoughts. "Is Remington really your


    brother? As in your biological brother?"


    Tobias avoided her gaze and turned to stare at the wall.


    "Yes."


    Natalie''s heart skipped a beat.


    She finally believed it to be true after Tobias admitted it himself.


    "But... But why did you not talk to me about this before?" Natalie asked in confusion. She had


    known the two of them for so long, but she was only finding out about their rtionship now.


    "Did you ever ask?" He flicked his gaze towards her.


    Natalie lowered her head. "Touche."
