Chapter 704


    After a long while, Selina nodded. "I''ll definitely let Natalie know."


    Selina arrived at Natalie''s apartment.


    To her surprise, Natalie was coping with the situation better than she had expected.


    She even invited Selina to try out some of the bread that she''d baked.


    It was only then that Selina realised Natalie had baked the bread she''d brought for Hayden


    everyday.


    She picked up one of the bread rolls and took a huge bite.


    It tasted delicious, at par with those bought from bakeries.


    Natalie watched Selina, then asked, "How is it, Selina?"


    There was a hint of anxiousness in her tone.


    Selina nodded. "It tastes good, even better than in those bakeries."


    Herment brought a smile to Natalie''s face. "That''s good to hear. I''ll bake some for Tobias when


    he''s back. I wonder whether he''ll like it?"


    Selina paused mid-bite.


    Bake some for Tobias...


    She suddenly thought of what Cecilia had told her.


    Would Natalie... still have the chance to do that?


    After that, Natalie talked to Selina about many things, and they were all rted to Tobias.


    "Selina,tely I''ve been learning to cook all kinds of food at home every day. I''ll cook for Tobias


    when hees back."


    "I dreamt of Tobiasst night, Selina. Do you think that it''s a sign that he wille back soon?"


    "Do you still remember the white hair I hadst time? Do you think I''m getting old? Will Tobias not


    like me any more now that I''m old?"


    The way Natalie spoke was as if Tobias hadn''t even experienced the explosion, like he''d only gone


    on a long, long trip, and that he''d be back any moment.


    Her voice was full of determination.


    Selina lost her appetite.


    Her heart twisted, and she felt like something was going to burst out of her.


    She suddenly had the urge to tell Natalie that they had already found Tobias, and he was now in a


    hospital in the United States.


    However, she stopped herself when she remembered how final Cecilia''s words were.


    Internally, she was torn between Natalie and Cecilia. It was a difficult struggle indeed.


    Out of frustration, she stood up to calm herself down.


    Selina''s sudden movement of shooting up from her seat startled Natalie.


    She stared at Selina, eyes wide.


    Selina forced herself to stay calm. "Natalie, I still have some things to do, so I need to get going."


    Natalie''s face fell, but she nodded and answered, "Alright."


    Selina quickly left the apartment as if she was running away from Natalie.


    Her eyes were already full of tears by the time she reached the stairs.


    She felt horrible listening to Natalie talk about Tobias, but what made her feel worse was that she


    could do nothing about it.


    A Porsche Cayenne was parked in front of Natalie''s apartment when Selina went downstairs.


    She didn''t notice the vehicle, still engrossed in her own thoughts.


    Selina walked past the Porsche Cayenne absentmindedly.


    The car window suddenly rolled down.


    "Selina," a man''s voice called out.


    She paused.


    Selina turned around, and saw an overly handsome face.


    His eyebrows were full and thick, and his eyes were bright. His features were also sharp and


    pronounced, like a Greek god''s.


    Selina thought he looked a little familiar.


    "I''m sorry, do I know you?" She asked hesitantly.


    The man smiled and replied, "I''m Matthew Perry."


    Selina was sure that she''d heard of this name before, but she couldn''t recall from where.


    He looked into her eyes. "The ball from nine years ago. Have you forgotten?"


    Realisation dawned on her.


    She immediately remembered who this man was.


    Usually, she wouldn''t remember someone that she had only met once.


    However, he was too handsome to be forgotten. That was why Selina immediately remembered


    who he was the moment he reminded her.


    A faint smile formed on her lips. "Uncle, it''s you."


    Matthew was lost for words.


    He said a little helplessly, "Get in the car, missy. I have something to tell you."


    This time around, Matthew came to find Natalie.


    Although Tobias'' family had refused to let Natalie visit Tobias, Matthew wanted to talk to her first.


    He wasn''t sure if he should tell her about Tobias'' condition and take her to see him, since Tobias''


    family was so against it.


    He couldn''t go against Tobias'' family''s wishes, after all.


    He''d been thinking it over in his car, parked outside Natalie''s apartment. That was when he saw


    Selina.


    Without a second thought, he called out to her.


    Meanwhile, Selina got into the car.


    Theforting warmth inside the car and Matthew''s assuring presence cheered her up a little.


    "You came here to see Natalie." Matthew''s voice was very pleasant. It made ones ears feel very


    comfortable.


    She nodded.


    A momentter, Selina came back to her senses.


    "You know Natalie?" She looked at him in astonishment.


    Matthew gave another helpless sigh. "Your brother and I are friends. Very good friends."


    "Oh."


    She did not know that Tobias and Matthew were friends.


    "That makes sense," she muttered, "Seeing the two of you are about the same age. You''re both so


    old. That''s why you can get along with each other well."


    Matthew winced.


    He looked at Selina. "Is my age the only thing you can see?"


    All those years ago, Selina had rejected him because of his age.


    Selina''s breathing hitched a little.


    She never realised how beautiful Matthew''s eyes were. They gave off a passionate, tender vibe, no


    matter who he was looking at.


    His eyes gleamed.


    The corners of Selina''s mouth twitched. "Oh, I forgot. I think you''re a little older than my brother."


    Matthew was lost for words again.


    His life had always been smooth- sailing, and


    Selina was the only obstacle that he could never seem to get past.


    Even though he was in the mood to flirt with Selina now, he knew that it was not the time for that.


    He went back to their original topic. "I just came from the United States."

    Selina lowered her gaze and said faintly, "You''ve seen my brother, haven''t you?"


    Matthew nodded. "Tobias has yet to recover, and my suggestion was to bring Natalie to see him.


    However, your family is very much against it."


    Selina''s fingers twisted subconsciously. "Actually, I had the same thought. Natalie has the right to


    know, and she missed Tobias terribly. My grandfather and mother are being very cruel to her, but my


    mother has her reasons. Do you know how much my mother liked Natalie, and how badly she


    wanted Natalie and Tobias to be together? I think this incident has really scared her off, though, and


    she''s just terrified that something like this will happen again."


    She sighed before continuing, "I felt really bad when I was with Natalie, but when I thought about


    my mother..."


    She could not continue anymore.


    If she''d stayed in Natalie''s apartment just a second longer, she''d probably have spilled everything


    out.


    Matthew''s heart ached a little when he saw Selina like this.


    He quickly hid it. "I''ve sought the opinions of experts in this field, and they agree with me that


    psychological treatment would be better for Tobias now."


    Selina looked at him in confusion. "Tobias is still in aa. How are they going to treat him


    psychologically?"


    Matthew exined, "He might not be awake, but it doesn''t mean that he''spletely dead to the


    world. If he can sacrifice his life for Natalie, that shows just how important she is to him. If we can


    get Natalie to speak to Tobias everyday, it might help."
