Chapter 817


    Natalie looked up, immediately showing a surprised expression. "Jack."


    Jack sat across from Natalie with a grin. "I saw you through the ss when I passed by earlier. I thought my eyes were ying tricks, but it turned out


    to really be you."


    Natalie smiled. "What have you been up totely, Jack?"


    "I''ve been busy with business.”


    Natalie chuckled as she said, "Jack, you can''t always be busy with your work. Spare some of your time to meet a good woman andplete the


    most important task in your life."


    A trace of loneliness shed across Jack''s eyes.


    A momentter, he changed the topic. "What about you? How have you been doing recently?"


    "I''ve been alright.” Natalie took a sip of her drink.


    "By the way, aren''t you supposed to be on your honeymoon? Why have youe back so soon?" Jack asked casually.


    Natalie''s expression turned rigid at the question


    Jack could tell that Natalie was acting strangely.


    He suddenly became nervous. "Natalie, what''s wrong? Did Tobias treat you badly? I''ll go find him if he did."


    Natalie shook her head quickly. "No, he treats me very well."


    Jack suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.


    "It''s just..." Natalie looked at Jack and wanted to add something, but she stopped.


    She was thinking about whether or not she should tell Jack about this matter.


    Jack was an influential person himself, so he might be able to be of some help to her.


    However, she didn''t want to bother Jack. After all, Jack also had his own business to deal with.


    "Nothing." After thinking about it, Natalie decided to keep it from him.


    However, when she spoke, the ripples in her gaze betrayed her, and Jack saw through Natalie at a nce


    Natalie had been like this since she was young.


    Whenever she lied, a ripple would sh through her eyes.


    Jack remembered that Madison often hit her during childhood


    However, she never said anything.


    Every time he saw the bruises on Natalie''s body, he would ask Natalie whether Madison had done something to her.


    The young Natalie would only smile and shake her head. "No, Jack, she didn''t.”


    Back then, traces of ripples would quickly sh across her eyes.


    Jack became agitated all of a sudden


    He looked straight at Natalie with his dark eyes, his tone concerned. "Natalie, tell me what happened to you! Is it true? Does Tobias treat you badly?"


    Speaking up to that paint, Jack paused, his tone heavy. "You called me your brother when we were kids, so I''ll be your brother for the rest of your life.


    If you''re living a good life, I''ll give you my blessing, but if you''re having a hard time, I''ll definitely stand up for you!"


    The determination in Jack'' s eyes warmed Natalie''s heart.


    Everything that happened in her childhood suddenly popped out in her mind.


    When she was a child, Natalie would follow behind Jack and call him her brother.


    Every time she was hit by Madison, Jack wouldfort her, saying that he would stand up to Madison for her.


    The Jack she knew had never changed at all after sc many years.


    Natalie bit her lip.


    After a moment, she told Jack everything.


    Right then, she understood it all. Even though she didn''t have a biclogical brother, Jack was like one to her. There was nothing she couldn''t tell him.


    Meanwhile, Jack turned silent, dumbfounded after hearing this.


    "How could a drug like this? Not to mention, you were clearly the one drugged, but how could the drug take effect on Tobias?" Jack asked.


    Natalie''s eyshes trembled slightly.


    In regards to this, Tobias has already briefly exined it to her.


    Remington did give the drug to her, but the drug was passed to Tobias through sexual intercourse.


    Natalie felt that this was possible.

    As a result, things went wrong the next morning.


    Fortunately, the drug would not affect their child.


    Natalie indeed felt a little awkward exining the whole process to Jack. She could only vaguely cough and say, "Well, I''m still confused myself, but


    basically, that''s how itis."


    "So you can''te into contact with Tobias?" Jack asked nervously, staring at Natalie.


    She nodded. "Yes, we can''te into contact too often. Otherwise, he will have sudden chest pains."


    Jack''s gaze suddenly deepened


    "How long has it been?"


    "It''s been a while.”


    "Tobias hasn''t thought of a solution yet?"


    Natalie smiled bitterly. "If there really was a solution to this matter, I wouldn''t be like this right now."


    Jack''s eyes were filled with extreme shock, his eyes widening.


    He knew Tobias" ability. If he couldn''t think of a solution for a matter as serious as this after so long, then there was only one possibility.


    That possibility would be that there might be no other way to solve it.


    His dark eyes fell on Natalie''s face, and ripples were starting to form in his eyes.


    Ever since Natalie and Tobias got together, it seemed that a lot of things and setbacks have happened. Did that mean that they were indeed


    unsuitable for each other?


    "Natalie." Jack began to speak. "Have you ever thought that maybe you and Tobias just aren''t meant to be together?”


    Natalie was stunned.


    Jack continued, "Since such a thing has happened, if the antidote can''t be found, will you and Tobias stay like this forever?"


    If they couldn''t find the antidote, perhaps it would be best for Tobias and Natalie to go their separate ways and lock for their other half again.


    Natalie was silent for a moment.


    She tilted her head up to look at


    Jack, with a-Sparkle I in her eyes.


    "Jack, weare fated to be together.


    Even if the heavens don''t approve Sof


    us, wewill change our destiny ? There


    mustbe an antidote. We''re meant to


    betogether for the rest of our lives."


    Jack was frightened by Natalie''s certainty.


    He could not help but say, "Natalie, but what if... What if there''s really no antidote?”


    Natalie smiled gently. "Jack, even if there''s really no antidote, I will still be with Tobias. I believe that we both feel that way.”


    Colossal confusion flitted in Jack''s eyes.


    Natalie suddenly touched her stomach gently. "Jack, I''m pregnant.”


    Jack immediately nced at Natalie''s stomach in shock.


    Natalie said softly, "The fact that I


    can get pregnant even in this kind of


    situation is a good omen. Jack,


    trust that this matter will be solved,


    These days, I''ve been thinking, lifeds


    never smooth sailing, and the sare


    goes § {or matters regard ng


    re ationships. We can’ always


    expect things to go the way we


    want. However, as long &8 both of


    us face those hardships together


    and trust each other without doubt,


    everything will be okay. Don''t you


    think so, Jack?"


    Jack felt like he was struck by a thunderbolt.


    Before he heard everything from Natalie, a glimmer of hope had surfaced in his heart


    He thought to himself that if Tobias didn’t manage to find any solution for this matter, perhaps they would walk their separate ways and look for


    another half.


    Maybe he would still have a chance.


    However, at this moment, all his thoughts were gone, and Jack was ashamed for even having such a notion


    How could he have such an idea?
