Chapter 616


    Endless sorrow shed in Tobias'' eyes. "Natalie, I know that you hate me, but I never knew that you


    hated me this much. Perhaps this hatred can only disappear when I am no longer in your life."


    Tears trickled down Natalie''s face.


    How could she tell him that she did not hate him?


    She just didn''t want to be with him anymore, and she didn''t want them to torment each other.


    Natalie didn''t want to suffer, nor did she want Tobias to.


    She just wanted the both of them to be safe and happy.


    "Kill me, Natalie," Tobias said clearly.


    His eyes became darker and darker, so dark that his gaze could no longer be seen.


    Natalie shook her head, and her eyes grew cloudy with tears.


    She wanted to tell him that she could not find it in her to kill him.


    After all, she used to love him immensely.


    Although Tobias had caused her so much pain, she had never forgotten her love for him.


    However, the situation hade to such a state...


    Natalie''s body was slightly trembling, as though she was cold. Her mind raced with all kinds of


    emotions.


    A glint of determination shed in her eyes.


    If either she or Tobias had to disappear in order to end their suffering, she would be the one to


    disappear.


    "Tobias." Natalie suddenly looked into the dark night. Her long eyshes trembled slightly, covering


    her teary eyes. "We can''t go back anymore. Why can''t you understand that?"


    As soon as she finished, she plunged the dagger into herself.


    "Natalie!"


    Tobias quickly grabbed onto Natalie''s hand, but the dagger had already been plunged in.


    Blood spewed out of her.


    Natalie returned to YS Group.


    Tobias had vited her over and over again in that stairwell.


    Terror overwhelmed her.


    She kept pleading with Tobias, but he refused to stop.


    Footsteps could be heard.


    It was as if those footsteps were stepping on her heart.


    Natalie opened her eyes wide in horror.


    But Tobias didn''t stop.


    Benjamin was the first one to arrive. He looked on in astonishment, unable to believe his eyes.


    Tobias did not stop.


    He ced his hand on Natalie''s waist and continued.


    More footsteps could be heard.


    Linda arrived. She was Natalie''s best friend in YS Group and they''d worked in the same


    department.


    Soon, the stairwell was filled with people.


    Natalie''s fear turned into humiliation and finally, despair.


    She knew that it was just a dream.


    But if she continued to stay with Tobias, would this dream be a reality?


    She had only one thought on her mind. She had to escape from Tobias, and she had to leave him.


    That was why she was willing to leave behind everything.


    That was why when Tobias had discovered her trying to leave, she had plunged the dagger into her


    own chest.


    After hearing his words, she had plunged the dagger into herself.


    But now she regretted her actions.


    Natalie felt as though she was floating.


    Her mind was in a state of chaos. She didn''t know where she was or how she was doing.


    She hadn''t hesitated in stabbing herself. Was she gravely injured? Was she going to die?


    Natalie regretted her actions.


    She didn''t know why she''d been so impulsive in that moment, so impulsive that she didn''t even care


    about her own life or death.


    She still had Hayden.


    Her son.


    She still wanted to watch Hayden grow up. How could she die just like that?


    12 hours after being sent to the hospital, Natalie was finally out of critical condition.


    The doctor said that Natalie was fine and that she would be awake shortly.


    Tobias was standing outside the ward, his back straight and stiff.


    He nced at the ward, filled with all kinds of


    emotions.


    "Mother, I''m leaving," Tobias said to Cecilia.


    His voice was low and hoarse.


    Cecilia''s eyshes trembled. "Tobias, aren''t you going to wait for Natalie to wake up? The doctor


    said that she could wake up at any time. Don''t you want to see her?"


    Tobias lowered his gaze. The dejection he felt in his heart made his pain immeasurable.


    "No." There was a hint of determination in his slow tone. "I don''t need to see her."


    Tobias strode off.


    His footsteps were steady without the slightest hesitation.


    Cecilia''s heart skipped a beat, and was filled with an inexplicable emotion.


    Although the doctor said that Natalie might wake up at any time, Cecelia still had to wait till the next


    day.


    When the morning sun shone in through the window, Natalie slowly opened her eyes.


    Everything around her was white.


    Natalie opened her eyes with great effort.


    Was she in the hospital?


    She touched her chest and found that her heart was still beating.


    Natalie''s heart was filled with indescribable emotions.


    She had behaved impulsively.


    She had plunged a dagger into her heart.


    In fact, no matter how terrible the conflict between her and Tobias was, it should not have escted


    to a situation of life and death.


    Fortunately, she did not pay the price of her life for her impulsiveness.


    "Natalie, you''re awake." An ted voice came from beside her.


    Natalie was taken aback.


    She looked to the right and saw Cecilia.


    Cecilia looked exhausted, and she had dark circles under her eyes.


    Seeing Cecilia, Natalie was reminded of Tobias.


    Was he here too?


    Natalie''s body trembled uncontrobly.


    Seeing Natalie like this, Cecilia immediately held her hand.


    Cecelia''s tone was bleak. "Natalie, don''t worry. Tobias won''t appear in front of you anymore."


    Natalie''s mind went nk.


    She stared at Cecilia.


    Tobias wouldn''t show himself in front of her anymore?


    What did Cecilia mean?


    Could it be that Tobias was no longer around?


    Did Tobias do something foolish after she''d done so?


    Terror and shock washed over Natalie.


    Her voice was hoarse. "What do you mean? What do you mean that I don''t have to face Tobias


    anymore? Did something happen to him?"


    She stared anxiously at Cecilia.

    A hint of sorrow flitted across Cecilia''s eyes. "He''s fine. Tobias is fine."


    Natalie rxed upon hearing this.


    She hadn''t realised just how terrified and panicked she was when she thought that something had


    happened to Tobias.


    Cecilia took out a letter and handed it to Natalie. "Natalie, this is from Tobias."


    Natalie hesitated for a moment before taking the letter.


    In this day and age, with technological advancement, people rarely wrote letters.


    But Tobias did.


    His handwriting was neat and tidy.


    The letter was short and concise.
