Chapter 706


    "I''m terrified of these. Please, wake up soon. I don''t like to see these tubes stuck in your body."


    "Wake up, Tobias. Please open your eyes and look at me. It''s me, Natalie."


    There was no reaction.


    No matter what Natalie said, Tobias remained unresponsive.


    Natalie kept talking to him, her wordsing out between choking sobs. However, she fought back


    her tears.


    Meanwhile, Selina watched her, her eyes red.


    Matthew felt his heart jolt. He couldn''t bear watching and averted his gaze.


    Just as he shifted his gaze from Natalie to the door, he saw Cecilia and Peter.


    They walked into the ward together.


    Peter was the first to see Natalie. He flew into a rage and roared, "Where did this womane


    from? Get her out of here, now!"


    Selina panicked at their abrupt entrance, her eyes widening. "No! Grandpa, don''t."


    Peter ignored her, already seething. "Someonee and drag here out of here!"


    Several bodyguards came in and walked towards Natalie.


    Cecilia could not stand it anymore.


    She turned to Peter. "Peter, Tobias is still here. Do you want to cause a scene in front of him?"


    Peter kept silent, but his nostrils red.


    Cecilia walked up to Natalie and said, "Natalie, let''s go talk outside. Let''s not cause a scene in front


    of Tobias, okay?"


    Natalie slowly got up and walked out after taking a look at Tobias.


    Her legs felt weighed down by a thousand pounds, and she staggered with each step.


    When they were finally outside the ICU, Peter began throwing a big fit.


    "How did this woman get here? Who brought her here?"


    "She''s the one responsible for ruining Tobias'' life. How dare shee here!"


    "Does this scourge want to bring trouble to Tobias again?"


    "Get her out of here. I want her out of my sight right now. I don''t want to see her ever again!"


    Natalie just stood there unmoving in the face of Peter''s rage.


    Her slender figure made her seem so vulnerable, as if anyone could easily knock her down.


    Selina wanted to defend Natalie, but she did not dare to make a sound when she saw Peter''s


    murderous expression.


    In the end, it was Cecilia who spoke up.


    She said in a low voice, "Natalie, you''ve seen how things are like. Nobody wants you here, so


    please leave, okay? Please."


    "You''re wrong, Auntie. I know someone still wants me here," Natalie suddenly said.


    Cecilia stunned, a little taken aback.


    Natalie said softly, "Tobias would''ve wanted me toe. He definitely would want me to be here."


    Cecilia felt as if something blunt had just struck her heart.


    After a moment of silence, she said bitterly, "Natalie, Tobias is already in this state. I just want to


    ensure my son stays alive. I''m begging you, please leave."


    Cecilia was terrified. She was afraid that her only son would lose his life if he continued to get mixed


    up with Natalie.


    Natalie felt like something was pressing down on her chest, making it hard for her to breathe.


    "Auntie, could you please give me one more chance? Just onest chance."


    She wanted to stay by Tobias'' side until he woke up.


    "You''re out of chances!" Peter''s voice rang out, filled with hatred. "Stop fantasising about getting


    another chance, now that things are like this! It''s good enough that I didn''t get someone to throw


    you into the Pelham River. Now, someonee and drag her out of here!"


    Selina was about to say something when Peter red at her. "If you say anything on her behalf, I''ll


    kick you out of the Whitlock family!"


    Selina''s breathing hitched.


    She knew that Peter was serious this time.


    She could only keep quiet as she looked at Natalie helplessly.


    To argue with Peter at this moment would only provoke him more and worsen the situation.


    She thought that it was best for her to remain silent for the time being.


    Several bodyguards came and escorted Natalie out of the hospital.


    "Auntie, please give me a chance. Let me stay with Tobias. Give me a chance!" Natalie shouted in


    between sobs.


    Cecilia turned her back towards Natalie, ignoring her.


    Matthew was about to say something, but Peter stopped him in advance. "Matthew, do not interfere


    in my family affairs."


    Matthew''s expression was neutral. "Alright, Mr. Whitlock. Have a good rest. I''ll take my leave first."

    Peter said nothing.


    Matthew saw Natalie when he walked out of the hospital.


    She was standing at the entrance of the hospital.


    She kept knocking on the door, and when Matthew came out, she immediately tried to squeeze in.


    However, the door closed before she could get in, and Natalie was pushed out.


    She continued to pound on the door.


    "Miss Godfrey, stop knocking," Matthew said in a low voice.


    Natalie looked at Matthew, her eyes red. "Help me, please. Please bring me in like you did before. I


    want to see Tobias, I need to see him. He can''t befortable lying there like that, I need to be with


    him."


    Matthew''s eyes took on a trace of pity. "Mr. Whitlock is in a rage now, and you''re just going to get


    yourself in trouble if you force your way in right now. It''s better to wait till he''s calmed down a bit,


    and Selina will try to help you out. Since you''re here, you''ll definitely have a chance to go in there.


    Just have patience for now."


    Matthew''s soothing voice and firm eyes managed to calm Natalie down.


    Natalie''s breath hitched, and she stopped pounding on the door.


    She epted what Matthew just told her.


    "Let me bring you to a ce where you can stay for tonight. You cane again tomorrow,"


    Matthew said.


    Natalie shook her head. "No, I''ll stay here. I don''t want to leave."


    Matthew did not argue with her nor try to persuade her.


    He was empathetic and was able to understand how others feel, thinking from their perspectives.


    Since Natalie wanted to stay here, he respected her decision.


    He gave her a business card and said, "Call me if you need anything."


    Natalie took it over. "Thank you."


    "You''re wee. I''lle again tomorrow and help you to persuade them. You don''t have to worry


    too much."


    It was soon night time, and the sky grew dark.


    At midnight, the temperature dropped rapidly, and it began raining cats and dogs.


    Lightning shed, and roars of thunder filled the air as heavy rain came pouring down from the sky.


    Selina had a hard time falling asleep. She could not stop worrying about Natalie.


    She heard from the servants that Natalie had been outside the hospital the whole time.


    However, Peter and Cecilia had been here the whole time, and it wasn''t convenient for her to go


    check on Natalie.


    She waited until it waste at night and ensured that everyone had already gone to sleep before


    sneaking out.


    The hospital was quiet as Selina slowly pushed open the door.


    They were at a top private hospital. It wasn''t as big as normal hospitals, only consisting of one


    single block. They didn''t take on many patients, and since Tobias'' arrival, he was the only patient in


    the hospital.


    It was raining heavily outside, and Selina could not help but shiver in the cold.


    She was already used to the cozy temperature inside the hospital, so she didn''t know that there was


    a massive downpour. It was freezing out here.


    She searched for Natalie in a hurry, squinting a little in the dark with the little lighting from the


    hospital lobby. Finally, she found Natalie curled up in a corner.
