Chapter 710


    The hatred in Cecilia''s heart began to subside, little by little...


    On the other hand, Selina was incredibly moved.


    She believed that the love between Natalie and Tobias was what true love looked like.


    Tobias was willing to give his life up for Natalie, Natalie was willing to sign a contract that put her life


    on the line.


    That was what true love looked like, wasn''t it?


    They were willing to give up everything for each other and only till death do they part.


    On this afternoon, Natalie suddenly noticed Tobias'' fingers twitch a little.


    She immediately became agitated, and quickly informed the medical personnel.


    Selina, Cecilia, and Peter immediately rushed over when they heard the news.


    Everyone was extremely nervous.


    The doctor was overjoyed after checking Tobias'' condition. He told them that it was a good sign that


    Tobias'' fingers were starting to move. He said that things would probably take a turn for the better


    that night, that other parts of his body might start showing signs of movement as well.


    Everyone in the ward held their breath as they watched Tobias intently.


    However, when night fell, Tobias hadn''t moved anymore.


    "What''s going on? Didn''t the doctor say that he is going to move his other body parts? Why hasn''t


    he moved yet?" Peter asked impatiently.


    The doctor was also confused.


    ording to Tobias'' reaction earlier, his condition was supposed would get better by evening.


    "Mr. Whitlock, it''s hard to say," the doctor managed to say.


    "Are you saying that he still won''t wake up?" Peter raised his voice.


    The doctor didn''t dare give Peter any false hope.


    He replied meekly, "Mr. Whitlock, chances are that he won''t be waking up tonight."


    Peter snorted loudly, then left in a rage.


    On the other hand, Selina and Cecilia''s faces were filled with dejection.


    Natalie was even more miserable. Her bright eyes immediately lost their light.


    Cecilia patted Natalie''s shoulder. "Natalie, it''s a good sign that Tobias'' finger moved. He might not


    show any improvement tonight, but maybe he will tomorrow. You''ve been through a lottely, you


    should get some rest tonight."


    Natalie nodded reluctantly.


    Selina consoled her as well. "Natalie, don''t be too anxious. The doctor already said that Tobias''


    condition is going to take a turn for the better. Now, you need to take good care of yourself so that


    you won''t copse when Tobias wakes up."

    "I will. I will take care of myself while waiting for Tobias to wake up." Natalie''s answer was gentle yet


    determined.


    It was alreadyte at night by the time Cecilia and Selina left.


    However, Natalie could not fall asleep.


    She was overexcited by Tobias'' little movements earlier. However, the more excited she was, the


    more disappointed she became.


    Natalie sat by Tobias'' side, and she carefully ced his hand on top of hers.


    His hands wererge and well- defined. They swallowed Natalie''s small hands.


    Her gaze drifted to his fingers.


    His fingers were long and nice, his nails round.


    Natalie said softly, "Tobias, how can you even have such nice- looking hands? It''s bad enough that


    you''re so handsome. Did you know that the first time I saw you, the only thing I could think of was


    that how could such a handsome man exist on this earth? I even thought that you had to be a god."


    "You are, aren''t you? A god. You''re a god sent to earth to save me."


    "What would my life be if I hadn''t met you at that time? I would''ve married that idiot and lived a


    hopeless life."


    She shuddered at the thought of that kind of life.


    To be with a man that she didn''t love, to not be able to see hope, and never be able to see the end


    of days. She would fall into the dark abyss of torture.


    "You saved me, Tobias. When I was at my most heartbroken, I thought that if I had the chance to


    redo everything, I would have avoided you at all costs. Now, though, I know that I was wrong to


    think that. If I could go back in time, I would do anything to meet you again."


    "Even though so many things have happened between us, and so much pain... I''ve still experienced


    a lot of happiness because of you. You taught me the meaning of life, and I''ve learned what love is


    like because of you." "Tobias, I''m truly lucky to have met you. Even if there''s still going to be pain


    and sadness between us, I still don''t regret my decision."


    "To find you and meet you is the greatest blessing in my life."


    As Natalie spoke, her tears started to flow.


    A single teardrop fell onto the back of Tobias'' hand.


    Twenty-nine days had passed in the blink of an eye. It was almost a month.


    Tobias had shown no other signs of improvement since the slight movement of his fingersst time.


    On the other hand, Natalie seemed surprisingly calm.


    As usual, she still talked to Tobias despite no response from him and stared at him in silence from


    time to time.


    On the other hand, Cecilia and Selina were worried sick.


    They had not forgotten about the agreement. The next day would be thest day of the month, and


    it was the deadline for Natalie and Peter''s bet.


    Peter was an army veteran, and contracts were of the highest order to him.


    From the moment Natalie had signed to contract, there was no turning back.


    This time, no matter how Cecilia and Selina tried to persuade Peter, it would be useless.


    If Tobias didn''t wake up the next day, Natalie would die.


    That afternoon, Cecilia pulled Selina to the side.


    Her face was filled with worry. "Selina, I just asked the doctor, and he said that based on Tobias''


    current condition, it''s not likely that he''ll wake up tomorrow."


    Selina''s heart almost stopped beating.


    "Then what will happen to Natalie?" she blurted out.


    Cecilia frowned. "That''s why I pulled you here. Tomorrow''s the deadline of Peter and Natalie''s bet."


    Selina was getting anxious. "Maybe you can plead with Grandpa? Ask him to give Natalie some


    more time. Tobias'' finger already movedst time, and that''s a good sign, isn''t it? Maybe he''ll wake


    up after some more time."


    Cecilia shook her head weakly.


    She looked at Selina sorrowfully. "It won''t work this time, Selina. I know how Peter''s like, and he''s


    already reached his limit with letting Natalie go twice. He definitely won''t let her go anymore, and


    he''ll get rid of her this time."


    "Then what are we going to do? Are we going to watch Natalie die?" Selina cried.


    Cecilia bit her lip. "You go in there with me and well try to persuade Natalie to leave today. Perhaps


    Peter will let her go if Natalie chooses to leave before the deadline is up."


    This was the best n that Cecilia coulde up with at the moment.


    Selina nodded, then followed Cecilia into the ward without any hesitation.
