Chapter 688


    Yvonne did not say anything. There was a bitter feeling in her heart.


    Indeed, Natalie was not exaggerating at all.


    Tobias was unbelievably handsome. Back then, he was Yvonne''s Prince Charming back in


    university.


    But how could such a good-looking man die so easily?


    How could the heavens be so cruel?


    Natalie continued, "That''s why Tobias is definitely not dead. He''s a god. How could a god be killed


    by an explosion? Yvonne, don''t you agree?"


    Natalie nced at Yvonne expectantly.


    Yvonne''s lips moved.


    Just as she was about to tell Natalie not to let her thoughts run wild, Benjamin turned around and


    gave her a look.


    Yvonne swallowed her saliva. "Yes, yes."


    She was barely able to say these two words.


    But Natalie was very happy.


    A smile formed on her lips. "I told you. I told you Tobias isn''t dead."


    Yvonne was full of sorrow at Natalie''s smile.


    Passing by a barbecue restaurant on the way back, Natalie suddenly became excited.


    She pointed at the barbecue restaurant and said, "I want to have some barbecue."


    Both Yvonne and Benjamin breathed a sigh of relief at the thought that Natalie had taken the


    initiative to eat something.


    The three of them immediately stopped the car and went to the barbecue restaurant.


    A strange light shed in Natalie''s eyes.


    She remembered that a few days ago, Tobias had brought her to this barbecue restaurant.


    At that time, he had carefully helped her grill the meat and vegetables.


    When they left, she smelled so badly of smoke and soot, but Tobias didn''t.


    There were always so many mysterious and incredible things about Tobias.


    Natalie''s eyshes trembled slightly.


    It had to be like that this time as well.


    It had to be.


    He was extremely outstanding, and he could do many things that normal people couldn''t. He


    couldn''t have died, otherwise he wouldn''t be Tobias.


    When they were seated and after they''d ordered, Benjamin went to the cashier to pay the bill.


    After a few steps, Benjamin suddenly came back and said, "Miss Simpson, I haven''t brought


    enough money. Why don''t you pay the bill?"


    Of course, Yvonne did not have any objections.


    She immediately headed to the cashier, yet Benjamin followed her and even paid for the bill before


    her.


    Yvonne raised her brows in surprise, "Didn''t you say you didn''t bring any money with you?"


    Benjamin gave an awkward smile.


    How could he not have brought any money? He was using it as an excuse to let Yvonnee over.


    There was something he wanted to tell her.


    Yvonne was smart as well. Seeing Benjamin''s reaction, he didn''t need to say anything.


    "What''s the matter?" Yvonne looked at Benjamin.


    Her eyes were very beautiful, with a natural upward tilt.


    Benjamin took a deep breath and said, "Miss Simpson, Natalie is insistent that Mr. Whitlock is not


    dead right now."


    Yvonne had a bit of a headache.


    She said in a low voice, "Natalie can''t be like this. We have to get her to wake her up."


    "Miss Simpson, on the contrary, I don''t think we should," Benjamin said.


    This was also the reason why he asked Yvonne toe here.


    Yvonne looked at Benjamin in surprise.


    Benjamin voiced his opinion. "Miss Simpson, currently, Natalie can''t handle the pain of Mr.


    Whitlock''s death. If she were to realise the truth, I''m worried that she''ll suffer from a breakdown."


    "And if we let Natalie cling onto her hope right now, maybe this will let her live well."


    There was hesitation in Yvonne''s eyes.


    After a while, she said with some hesitation, "But this won''t do. Tobias is gone for sure. Maybe we


    can fool Natalie for a while, but not forever. Sooner orter, Natalie will realise that Tobias is no


    longer here."


    Benjamin sighed. "I know, but time heals all wounds. Natalie might not be able to ept it now, but


    that might change with time. Things will get better once you make it through the worst of the pain.


    The only thing that can help her move on right now is by having hope."


    Yvonne thought for a moment, and finally agreed with Benjamin.


    After all, there was no better option.


    Benjamin had tried to persuade Natalie, and so had she, but it had been useless.


    There was no other way but to put on an act with Natalie and pretend that Tobias was still alive.


    After a while, Benjamin and Yvonne went back to their seats.


    Natalie was already earnestly grilling the meat.


    She put the grilled meat and vegetables into Benjamin and Yvonne''s bowls. "Did you know? That


    day, when Tobias and I came here, he kept grilling the food for me. In the end, he didn''t eat


    anything. If I had known, I would have let him eat more."


    Yvonne''s breathing hitched.


    No wonder Natalie suddenly wanted to have some barbecue. It turned out to be because of this.


    She had an unspeakable feeling in her heart.


    Yvonne nced at Benjamin.


    Benjamin''s expression was downcast like hers, and they were speechless as they looked at each


    other.


    Back at the hospital, Yvonne continued to stay by her side.


    She was worried with Natalie acting like this. Since she didn''t have any work right now, Yvonne


    decided to just stay at the hospital with her.


    Natalie''s mental state had improved a little, but she had been repeatedly talking about Tobias.


    What Tobias had said, and what he had done.


    In the end, Yvonne felt that this would not do either.


    Although Natalie was much better than when Yvonne had first arrived, not eating and not talking,


    the fact that she kept bbering on about Tobias wasn''t too normal either.


    Yvonne went to look for Benjamin.


    Benjamin did not know what to do either.


    However, in his eyes, Natalie had improved.


    At least she could eat and drink.


    Yvonne did not think so. Natalie was now living in her own world. She had to pull Natalie back into


    reality.


    That night, Yvonne put on a movie for Natalie to watch.


    The movie was about the love between a teacher and a student.


    It told the love story of a male teacher and a female student.


    Since teacher- student rtionships were somewhat taboo, coupled with the fact that the student


    was only in high school, many people objected to it.


    In the end, the couple agreed to meet again after the girl graduated from university. Then, they


    could be together.


    After a few years, the girl had already graduated from university.


    She came to the cafe where she and the teacher had nned to meet up with enthusiasm and was


    ready to resume the rtionship.


    However, as her gaze looked past the window, the girl was taken aback.


    She saw her teacher, the man she once loved.

    The high-spirited man from back then had aged after these few years, and he looked unkempt.


    She suddenly hesitated.


    In the end, the student left quietly, leaving the teacher alone, waiting for her.


    Yvonne forced Natalie to watch the movie.


    She did not feel anything at all, until Yvonne forcefully pulled her in front of the mirror.


    Natalie saw her reflection in the mirror. She was wearing pyjamas, and she looked extremely


    sloppy.


    Her hair was messy too, and she looked listless.


    Yvonne pointed at Natalie''s reflection. "Natalie, do you see that? That''s you!"


    Natalie looked at herself in the mirror and her breathing hitched.
