Chapter 749


    She shrugged at Natalie and said. "My mother used to work in the government. I''m not very clear about her affairs. Everything must wait until she


    regains consciousness.”


    Natalie was a little anxious. "Then. when will Aunty wake up?"


    "My mother is getting better now. The doctor said that the probability of her waking up is very high. Don’t worry."


    Natalie went into the ward to take a look at the woman who brought her to the orphanage.


    Her name was Jessie Lawson, and she was old enough to be Natalie''s mother.


    However, judging from her skin, she didn’t look too old. Her skin was still rather delicate.


    To ensure that she regained consciousness as soon as possible, Tobias wanted to arrange for the world''s best medical team toe, but was


    opposed unanimously by her children


    They had been living in North Europe for many years and bore a great sense of superiority. They thought that the North European doctors were truly


    the best doctors in the world.


    Besides, their mother was getting better. If they changed the medical team, who knew what would happen


    At her children''s insistence, Natalie could only tell Tobias to forget about it. Tobias agreed.


    Then they went to see the doctor again


    The doctor''s exnation was the same as Jessie''s children''s, that Jessie was recovering now. But the doctor mentioned that before Jessie was


    hospitalised, her throat had been slightly damaged, so it might require some time before she could recover her ability to speak.


    Natalie felt veryplicated.


    On the one hand, she was happy that the doctor was confident that Jessie would definitely recover. There was a high probability of her getting to find


    out her birth and background soon.


    On the other hand, the doctor said that it would take a lot of time for Jessie''s throat to recover after she regained consciousness, so Natalie may have


    to wait for a period of time.


    After thinking for a long time, Natalie decided to go back first.


    She had already been prepared to not find out about her background immediately to begin with. She came here only to take a look.


    Besides, she still had a lot of things to do.


    Tobias had apany to take care of, plus she and Tobias had a wedding to prepare for. She couldn''t possibly keep Tobias here to waste time


    together.


    Hence, on the second day, as Jessie hadn''t woken up yet. Tobias and Natalie returned to Glevania.


    Jessie''s children also promised Natalie that they''d call her the moment Jessie was conscious.


    An opposite of how she''d been when they were on the way here, Natalie was more rxed now that she''d seen that there wasn''t too much of an


    issue with Jessie.


    Natalie and Tobias returned to Glevania.


    They arrived home in the morning.


    Upon returning to the Whitlock family vi, Natalie felt ovee with emotions.


    Tobias had initially built this ce for her. Unfortunately, due to the circumstances back then, she couldn''t move in.


    Now, after so many years, this ce still belonged to her.


    Natalie and Tobias were both exhausted from the events of the past few days, and they rested for the whole morning.


    In the bedroom, Natalie and Tobias slept in each other''s embrace.


    The heavy curtains blocked the warm sun outside the window. The lighting in the room was dim.


    Natalie and Tobias instantly fell asleep as soon as they hit the bed.


    Natalie had a dream.


    She dreamt of her parents. They were a very young couple, and they looked very gentle.


    In the dream, they smiled at Natalie.


    They told Natalie that they were happy to see that Natalie was very happy now.


    "Natalie, you must be well. Mom and Dad will bless you," the young couple said to Natalie.


    Natalie stretched out her hand. She wanted to touch her parents, but there was nothing.


    When she woke up, it was already noon.


    The maid had already prepared lunch.


    After breakfast, Tobias took Natalie to the beach


    They stayed there for a long time, their hearts feeling a little heavy.


    Natalie sniffled and said, "Tobias, I


    was thinking... if I''d been more alert


    tha


    taxi,


    t dayand hadn''t gotten into that


    then al


    this wouldn''t have


    ned. My father wouldn''t have


    happel


    died."  . ~


    -


    Tobias held Natalie in his arms and said, “Natalie, there are no ‘what ifs’.


    Something tugged at Natalie''s heartstrings.


    That''s right, there were no ‘what ifs’.


    Tobias recatled what had happened


    on that day and lowered his voice.


    "Natalie; your father... your father


    didn''t:say anything to me when he


    pusRed me into the container and


    closed it." Content belongs. to


    <


    Natalie lightly responded, "Oh."


    Life wasn''t like a TV show. In TV shows, people always had plenty of time to say whatever they wanted before dying.


    But the reality was that dying people had no chance to say even a single sentence.


    "However, he smiled at me, and I could tell that he was very happy in that moment. It was a smile of relief, of liberation.” Tobias’ gaze fell on the


    surface of the ocean


    Natalie''s whole body shook.


    She looked at Tobias and asked, "Really?"


    Tobias''s gaze fell back on Natalie''s face. “Really, Natalie. I wouldn''t lie to you."Property ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    Countless emotions swirled in Natalie''s eyes, and she suddenly feared up.


    James was smiling in his final moments?


    And it was a smile of relief.


    Natalie suddenly recalled how unhappy James had been after finding her and moving into her apartment.


    He rarely smiled. It was only when he saw Hayden that he would asionally smile.


    Natalie''s eyshes trembled.


    Actually, James was probably unhappy back then.


    James had only wished for a happy and harmonious family all his life


    Unfortunately, Queenie, Brayden, and Madison were not such people.


    Madison never treated James as her husband. In her eyes, James was just a money- making machine.


    Queenie and Brayden also didn''t consider James as their father. Otherwise, Queenie wouldn''t havended a heavy kick on James when they were


    onboard the ship.


    Natalie became even more teary-eyed


    Perhaps back on the ship when


    Queenie kicked James, he had >


    already-Seen through it all. He


    understood that the happiness he


    had-wanted was just nothing*but his


    Own 9 illusion,


    “


    Hence, the moment he saved Tobias and knew that he was going to die, he smiled in relief.


    Natalie suddenly felt a huge lump in her throat.


    "Tobias, why da good people not get good endings?" she said bitterly.


    James was a good person, but why did he not get good endings in return? Why were the heavens so unfair?


    Tobias didn''t say anything


    "Natalie, let''s go." After a while, he said, "Let''s find your Dad a home.”


    Natalie''s fingertips trembled a little.


    She tock another look at the vast blue sea and followed Tobias.


    The home they found for James was a high-end cemetery in the local town.


    Natalie carefully ced James'' final belongings in a box.


    Two names were carved on the tombstone.
