Chapter 757


    Jessie''s gaze wavered. Her smile seemed forced. “Youngdy, is your background very important to you?”


    Natalie nodded solemnly, saying, "I want to know whe my parents are and where I came from. Auntie, do you know about it?"


    The hesitation in Jessie''s eyes grew deeper.


    After a while, she looked at Natalie and said, "Youngdy, if your parents aren''t alive anymore, would you still want to know about your background?”


    Natalie stiffened.


    She looked at Jessie in astonishment


    Her parents weren''t alive anymore.


    Natalie''s head buzzed. Her body wobbled.Content is ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.


    Tobias strode towards her and held her in his arms. "Natalie, I''m here."


    His words were firm and reassuring.


    They slowly gave strength to Natalie''s limp body.


    No matter what, she still had Tobias.


    Natalie bit the tip of her tongue.


    She looked at Jessie and said clearly, "Auntie, regardless of whether my parents are still alive or not, I want to know about my birth and background; I


    want to know where I came from and who I really am. Everyone has a ce from when they came, and my purpose foring here is to figure that


    out.”


    Jessie had aplicated gaze.


    After a while, she let out a long sigh.


    “Youngdy, I used to work for the government. Back then, I was assigned a task, to send a newborn baby girl to an orphanage. This baby girl had


    only just been born from her mother''s womb, but before she could even get a sip of milk, her mother shot herself in the mouth.”


    Natalie widened her eyes.


    She looked at Jessie and said, “Auntie, what do you mean she shot herself in the mouth?


    She then turned to Tobias. "Tobias, what does that mean?"


    A shadow flickered in Tobias'' dark eyes.


    He suddenly had a very strong hunch that Natalie''s background wasn''t as simple as he had thought.


    He had originally assumed that Natalie was just a girl born in an ordinary family, abandoned by her parents for various reasons.


    However, Jessie had mentioned that Natalie''s mother had shot herself in the mouth, which means that Natalie''s background definitely wasn''t that


    simple.


    Tobias felt a sudden sense of regret.


    He had been too confident that Natalie''s background would be very in.


    If he had known earlier, he would never have brought Natalie to Jessie.


    He wouldn''t have let Natalie find out that her mothermitted suicide by taking a shot to the mouth. How heavy of a blow would this be to Natalie?


    Jessie''s tone became even more serious. "Youngdy, your mother immediatelymitted suicide after giving birth to you, that''s why I sent you to an


    orphanage.”


    Natalie was reeling in shock.


    She couldn''t control herself and became agitated. "Why did shemit suicide? Why did she kill herself after giving birth to me?”


    Jessie lowered her voice, saying, “Youngdy, this is something on an international scale. I..."


    "I want to know, no matter what! This is about my birth mother, I must know!" Natalie yelled.


    Jessie averted her gaze. "Your father was a special agent. He epted a task to assassinate one of the leaders of the United States. Before he could


    act, his n was discovered by a high-ranking army officer. He shot your father dead on the spot. and your mother couldn''t handle the shock after


    she heard the news. That''s why shemitted suicide with a shot to the mouth after giving birth to you.”


    Natalie felt light-headed


    Tobias held Natalie tightly in his arms. His dark eyes were swirling with all sorts ofplex emotions


    How could her background be like this?


    Tobias'' embrace was very warm, but it couldn''t warm up Natalie''s heart right now.


    Natalie''s lips were pale.


    She had even talked to Tobias before this, whether she might be the daughter of a mafia boss or something along those lines, like the stories in


    novels, and Tobias had said that it was impossible.


    He had said that reality was different from fiction


    Natalie alsoughed at herself, feeling that she had thought too much


    Perhaps she had been abandoned because her parents had wanted a son instead, or they were an irresponsible couple who didn''t want children so


    early, so they threw her away.


    However, she now knew that she was wrong, totally wrong


    Life was far crazier than that in novels.


    How could her birth parents have abandoned her for this reason?

    How could this be? How could this possibly be?!


    Natalie''s head ached terribly.


    She held her head tightly. "Tobias, my head hurts really badly.”


    Tobias immediately called for a doctor.


    The doctor gave Natalie a sedative and said that her emotions had overwhelmed her.


    Natalie, who had been sedated, became silent instantly.


    She felt a fit of drowsiness and a wave of strong sleepiness swept over her.


    However, she tried her best to keep her eyes open and not allow herself to sleep.


    Looking at Jessie, she said, "Auntie,


    who killed my-fa her? Who shot him?


    Didn''t they know that this man had?


    an expecting wife? They could''ve


    just captured him after finding out


    abouthis assassination n. but


    why-did they choose to kill Aim on

    Natalie shouted out loud.


    She knew that the army officer at the scene had the right to shoot her father, who was a special agent. However, as that agent''s daughter, Natalie just


    couldn''t ept it.

    Santiago Lawson...


    As if a strong ray of light had shot at Natalie''s brain, she could no longer resist the overwhelming drowsiness and fell into slumber.


    Tobias looked at Jessie sharply and asked, "Do you know who I am?”


    Jessie shivered.


    She had already been through a lot in this life of hers, and this man was much younger than her, but why did she feel fear when facing his prating


    gaze?


    "Aren''t you this youngdy''s husband?” Jessie mustered her courage to answer.


    Tobias frowned, his dark eyes revealingplex emotions.


    He knew how to see through people. When he questioned Jessie, he could see that she wasn''t lying, that she truly didn’t know his identity.


    What''s more...


    Was what Jessie said true? Was that the truth about Natalie''s background?


    Tobias'' brows furrowed even further. After a while, he called Cecilia


    Natalie had a dream.


    In her dream, she saw her mother.


    Her mother''s face was blurry.


    In her dream, her mother told her over and over again that she wanted her to take revenge


    "Natalie, if it weren''t for Santiago, how could I have died? It''s his fault, Natalie. He killed your father and your mother. Natalie, you must avenge us."


    Natalie woke up from the nightmare.


    When she woke up, she felt that her whole body was trembling.
