Chapter 691
These shreds of clothes and shoes were no longer intact.
But she could still recognize that they belonged to James.
Natalie clearly remembered how that morning, when she and James had gone out, he had worn
those.
Upon seeing those shreds, Natalie was on the verge of breaking down.
Holding thesest relics in her hands, she cried.
Although she had gotten on the ship because of James, he was a victim too.
Queenie had tricked James. Otherwise, why would he have taken her onto the ship?
Natalie could not forget.
The way James had looked when he''d knelt down and pleaded with Queenie, and how Queenie
had kicked him.
Her heart felt as if it had been torn apart.
Looking at Natalie, Yvonne''s heart ached greatly.
She knew very well that in the Godfrey family, Natalie had no feelings for anyone except James.
If any of the others died, Natalie would not even shed a single tear.
But James was different.
James was the only person in the family who had treated Natalie well.
Throughout Natalie''s sad childhood, he was the only person who gave her light.
Yvonne hugged Natalie and said, "Natalie, don''t cry, don''t cry."
Natalie had already guessed that James had not survived the explosion.
However, now that she had seen these remnants, Natalie truly copsed.
Natalie cried, "Yvonne, I don''t have a father anymore, I''ll never have a father anymore."
Each mournful cry of hers was heart-wrenching.
As Natalie cried, images of the past shed through her mind.
When she was younger, James would always bring her something nice to eat every time he
returned home.
She was not James'' biological daughter, but he had never been biased.
Whatever he gave Brayden and Queenie, there would be a share for her as well.
Once, she had been severely beaten up by Madison, and her legs were bruised. James happened
toe back the next day.
He had held little Natalie in his arms and shed tears, saying sorry to her.
He''d always been cowardly and listened to Madison no matter what. However, that time, he''d fought
with Madison and made her stop beating Natalie.
James had been the only source of light in her miserable childhood.
He was a truly honest and good man, a man who only wanted his family to prosper and be happy.
Yet a man like that died. He was killed by his own daughter.
Before he died, Queenie had even pushed him to the ground and kicked him forcefully until he
passed out.
"Yvonne." Natalie suddenly raised her face, which was full of tears. "My father... My father was
unconscious for a long time. When the explosion happened, he probably didn''t feel any pain. He
must have died a painless death, right?"
She gave Yvonne an almost panicked look.
Yvonne felt her heart aching.
She nodded heavily. "Yes, he must have. If your father was unconscious, he wouldn''t have been
able to feel any pain at all. Maybe when he opens his eyes, he''ll be in heaven. A person as good as
your father would definitely go to heaven, unlike Queenie. She''ll definitely go to hell, and never get
another chance at life!"
Natalie did not speak.

Her eyes were glistening, and her eyshes fluttered.
Yvonne couldn''t help continuing, "Natalie, you know your father has always wished for his family to
be safe and happy. Even till the day he died, he never got to see that. His wife and children didn''t
treat him well, and you were his onlyfort. Maybe death is liberating for him."
Natalie''s breathing paused.
She suddenly thought of when Queenie had kicked James on the deck.
Queenie had something so immoral, and Brayden had gotten his arms chopped off. Of course,
Brayden wouldn''t have treated James well, and even Madison only saw James as a ve.
Maybe Yvonne was right.
If James were alive and wanted a happy family, that was something he would never be able to
achieve.
Especially when Queenie kicked James on the deck. If James were alive, that would have be
an eternal source of pain for him.
Maybe death was a relief for him.
Natalie suddenly ran over to the window and opened it.
Yvonne was shocked by Natalie''s actions.
She immediately wrapped her arms around Natalie''s waist and said, "Natalie, don''t do anything
stupid."
Natalie said in a bitter tone, "No, why would I do anything stupid? I opened the window because I
want to take a proper look at the sky."
As she said that, she turned her head to look at the blue sky.
James must already be in heaven now.
Just as Yvonne said, someone as kind as James would surely go to heaven after death.
"Dad," Natalie murmured to the sky gently. "Can you see me? I''m okay now, and you have to be
okay too. Dad, both of us have to be well."
Meanwhile, in the hospital in the United States that Peter was staying in.
After hearing about what had happened to Tobias, the anger he felt caused a surge in his blood
pressure that caused him to faint.
He did not have too much of a problem, but he simply could not breathe.
Yuna came to the hospital in the evening.
Peter''s butler, Watson, was waiting at the entrance.
"Hello, Watson," Yuna greeted.
He nodded and said, "Miss Sherman, you''ve arrived."
"How is Grandpa Peter?" Yuna asked gently.
Watson''s face, which had always been deadpan, had no expression as usual. "Mr. Whitlock is
alright. He needs to stay in the hospital all the time now, but there is no danger."
A thoughtful look shed across Yuna''s eyes.
"I''ll go in and see him." Then, Yuna walked into the ward.
Peter was lying on the bed, and Yuna could see that his expression was not good.
Yuna sat down beside Peter and said softly, "Grandpa Peter, I''vee to see you."
Peter''s fingers twitched.
"Grandpa Peter, I''ve already heard about what happened to Tobias. Don''t be too anxious. I don''t
think he''s dead," Yuna said.
Peter suddenly became agitated, and his fingers were shaking violently.
Yuna held Peter''s hand and said, "Grandpa Peter, don''t get agitated and listen to me. There were
dozens of men at the shore, and there were people on the ship as well. The police managed to find
shreds of their clothing, but they didn''t manage to find anything belonging to Tobias. Don''t you think
that''s a little odd, Grandpa Peter?" Peter''s trembling fingers froze all of a sudden.
"Grandpa Peter, if something really happened to Tobias, there''s no way that there would be no
traces left whatsoever. But the problem is that there really aren''t any, so I think he''s probably fine."
"It might sound crazy, but something is definitely afoot if they found things belonging to everybody
else except for Tobias."
Peter''s pupils dted all of a sudden.
