Chapter 174
After settling Jenny’s funeral, they went straight to Athana Hospital. Lena was already awake while
Ethan White was still in a
As soon as Natalie Foster got out of the car, she saw Sherri Landor standing at the entrance, looking
around anxiously. Hackett ckwell stood beside her with a solemn expression. His face did not show
the usual cheeky smile.
Natalie alighted from Trevon Wilson’s Maybach car in a ck dress. When she saw this sight, Sherri
did not find it strange. Instead, her impression of Trevon changed a lot.
Sherri had already applied for leave yesterday with the intention to keep her best friendpany, but
that fellow Hackett refused to leave her alone no matter what. He clung to her like a piece of sticky
candy. It turned out that he was sacrificing himself for his good friend.
When she saw her best friend alight. Sherri quickly went forward and held her arm. She sized up
Natalie’s face and saw that she looked much more haggard. “Why didn’t you tell me when Jenny was
going to be buried?”
Natalie honestly hadn’t thought of this. After finding out that her son had met with a mishap, her mind
was a mess. Coupled with the images this morning, she was already on the verge of breaking down.
“I’m sorry. My mind hasn’t been working well these past few days. I’m already clear-headed now” She
knew what to do now.
Sherri knew that her best friend was upset, so she let it go. How could Natalie still take into
consideration so many things when she encountered such a major incident? Sherri was already
grateful that Natalie did not break down. “It’s fine. I don’t mind. It’s good that you’re fine.”
Sherri decided to pay her respects to Jenny the next day. Back in Sapphire City, Jenny also did her
best to help take care of Ruby.
Sherri’s heart was filled with gratitude, and at this moment, she didn’t feel good either. When she heard
Hackett tell her the whole story, she still felt a lingering fear. Fortunately, Jasper was safe and sound.
Otherwise, her best friend would have gone crazy. However, Jenny’s passing might leave an emotional
knot in Natalie’s heart. “Where’s Jasper? Do you want to bring him to my house and let my mother take
care of him for a while?”
Natalie didn’t hide anything. “He’s at the Wilson’s residence.”
Sherri thought that was a good arrangement. The Wilson’s residence was more suitable for Jasper.
There was no ce safer than the Wilson’s residence and there was Grandpa Wilson protecting the
little one.
Trevon and Hackett followed closely behind the two women as they walked side by side. The men
watched them as they whispered to each other.
Hackett spoke up. “Frank said that he hasn’t found out who was the mastermind. The truck driver was
diagnosed with severe depression before the ident
The anger in Trevor’s heart surged. He pressed his tongue against his mrs and said icily, “How
about that cell phone
number”
“It’s from overseas Hackett wished vehemently that Mia Sullivan was not responsible for this, but the
country the phone number had been tracked to was Hailnd. This made him very vexed.
There was hostility in Trevon’s voice. “Mia Sullivan?”
Hackett suppressed his anger and his expression was not pleasant either. Tm not sure. The location is
indeed at that ce”
Trevon’s eyes were fixed on Hackett. The implication was obvious. Hackett felt a chill down his spine.
He sighed. “If it’s her, I won’t ask you to give her a chance again. It’s up to you.”
If Mia insisted on dicing with Death, Death would eventually embrace her. What could Hackett do? He
couldn’t possibly bribe Death, could he?
After receiving Hackett’s reply, Trevon strode toward the ward and ignored the fellow behind him who
kept running his fingers through his hair madly with a dejected expression.
Hackett followed right behind. He was very vexed and cursed Mia a hundred times for causing him
trouble even before he had confirmed that Mia was responsible.
Yesterday’s traffic ident was so sudden that Frank didn’t have time to tell Hackett who was the
mastermind responsible for Mia’s leg injury. He was already as busy as a beaver.
Natalie and Sherri walked into the general ward. Trevon did not follow them in as he was worried that
Lena would feel ufortable. If the two women wanted to talk, he would be a fifth wheel if he
followed them in. He leaned against the door frame, took out a cigarette, and gripped it between his
lips. He wanted to light it but gave up again. Then he stuffed the intact cigarette back.
Natalie pulled a stool and sat beside the bed. Lena slowly opened her eyes when she saw someone
enter. The corners of her lips twitched as she tried her best to maintain a smile.
When she saw how pale and drained of color Lena was, a sense of guilt rose involuntarily in Natalie’s
heart. In such a short
period of time, she changed from an active and lively person to one lying on the bed. Another had
already gone to heaven
while the other was uncoNS JOUS
Lena’s lips were a little dry Natale restrained all her emotions and asked gently. “Lena, do you want
ome water?”
Sherri sat by the bed and smoothed the nket for Lena She felt an indescribably awful feeling in her
heart.

Lena shook her head. Her voice was discernably weak. 1 Mr. Jasper injured?”
Lena herself was hospitalized, yet the first thing she said when she woke up was to inquire about
Jasper’s well-being Ho could Natalie still hold back her emotions Her eyes became slightly red-rimmed
and her vision became blurred. She gulped a few times with her tensed-up throat and sniffled twice.
Jasper is very safe. You guys protected him so well. How could be be insured”
Upon hearing this. Lena’s lips curled up and she smiled with relief. “That’s good. How’s Jenny?” Lena
remembered that Jenny was protecting them at the outermost ring. Her injuries should be more serious
than hers.
Sherri was someone who got sentimental easily and she could not suppress her emotions. She had
already turned around and was sobbing. The more she sobbed, the more she could not hold it in. In the
end, she decided to leave in case her actions aroused Lena’s suspicions. It was better to tell Lena after
she had recovered
When Hackett saw that his make-believe girlfriend was weeping, the frustration he had just soothed
over surged up again. He asked patiently. “Lena can’t make it, is it?”
Sherri suddenly raised her voice “You’re the one who can’t make it. I’m just very moved” She was really
moved
Why couldn’t good people be rewarded: Howe bad people could live such long lives? Didn’t they
say that the good would be rewarded, and the evil would be punished-
When Hackett saw how Sherri cried until her makeup ran, he reached into his pocket to search for a
tissue. After fumbling for a long time, he couldn’t find a single piece of tissue. He stretched out an arm
in front of Sherri and asked, “Do you need my shirt to wipe your tears? It’s new”
The next second. Sherri wiped her tears and snot on Hackett’s brand-new shirt without hesitation. After
wiping, she even said. “Remember to bring tissue next time Your shurt is too stiff”
Hackett had no choice since this was his make-believe girlfriend that he got for himself. “Alright. I’ll buy
in bulk next time and carry them with me.”
Trevon could not bear to look at the two of them, nor was he in the mood to ask when they got
together. Right now, his mund was filled with the woman inside. As they said, out of sight, out of mind.
When he found the flirting by those two a bit of an eyesore, he simply walked further away.
There were only Natalie and Lena left in the ward. Natalie calmed herself down and told a lie. “Lena,
don’t worry Jenny is fine She’s doing quite well. You have to follow the doctor’s instructions and recover
as soon as possible. Jasper is still moring for you.”
“Sigh Okay How long have I been lying here I kind of miss Mr. Jasper
Jasper masses you too. Lena. I want to tell you something. See if you are agreeable. Jenny has
already given her approval”
Lena was a little doubtful “Miss Natalie, please tell me.”
Natalie smiled brightly like a blooming flower. “I want to acknowledge you as my godmother Jenny has
already given her consent. You won’t object, will you?”
Lena was dumbstruck. This was Miss Natalie. Lena and Jenny were only hired to be her nannies. How
could she let the child from her employer’s family address her as godmother? How could Lena allow
this?
Lena shook her head slightly, indicating that she would not and could not allow it.
Natalie already expected this response. She then exined. “I knew you would object, so I want to
acknowledge both you and Jenny as my godmothers Is that okay?”
She ignored Lena’s objection and said tirelessly, “I lost my mother at the age of ten. It was you and
Jenny who helped raise me. Now, you’re the ones who helped rane Jasper. You are worthy of being my
godmother. I’ll take care of you in your old age until the end. And I’m still counting on you to help me
raise Jasper”
The tears at the corner of Lena’s eyes were like precious pearls that had broken off a ne that
kept falling off heedlessly. “Miss Natalie” What did she do to deserve such a sensible daughter’
Natalie rebuked Lena and corrected the way she addressed Natalie. “Godmother, that’s wrong. Call me
Natalie from now on. You can’t call me Miss Natalie anymore You can’t use Mr. Jasper either. You have
to call him Jasper.”
“Ah, all right”
Natalie took out a tissue and helped Lena wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes. Her own vision
was blurred but the corners of her mouth curled into a beautiful smile.
Lena had just undergone surgery and should not tire herself out, so Natalie didn’t talk to her much and
left soon. The first
thing she did once outside was to cancel her leave.
She walked straight to her superior’s office. She had only taken a few steps when she was pulled back
by a hand from a corner. Not surprisingly, it was Trevon. He asked suspiciously, “Where are you
going?”
Natalie seemed to have made a decision. “I’m canceling my leave,” she said firmly.
Trevon had just helped Natalic apply for half a month’s leave, yet she was going to cancel it. She was
not in a state to go back to work yet. “I applied for half a month’s leave for you.”
Natalie said. “I know. That’s why I’m canceling my leave.”
Trevon’s tone softened and hepromised as he said, “Rest for another week.”
“No.” Natalie could only lure the snake out of its hole by going to work normally. If she hid at home, the
troublemaker would not show its face.
As he looked at her resolute attitude, Trevon frowned and became suspicious. He panicked and asked,
“What do you intend to do?”
“Catch the snake.”
The next second, Trevon’s expression turned frosty as he objected. “Are you crazy? I said I’ll take care
of the matter.”
Natalie took a deep breath and voiced out her thoughts. “Trevon, their target is not only Jasper but also
me. Jasper is very safe in the Wilson’s residence now and nothing will happen to him. I’m not worried
about that. But if I hide too, the snake won’te out of the hole. I don’t want to live in fear, and I don’t
want to gamble on which will arrive first, tomorrow or an ident.”
She wanted to live safe and well. And she wanted everyone who loved her and those she loved to be
healthy and happy, be it Lena or Ethan.
The other party’s intentions were obvious. He wanted their lives. Therefore, if Natalie still hid, she
wouldn’t be Natalie Foster.
Trevon knew that once Natalie had made a decision, she would not change her mind. She was very
stubborn. Two years ago, he already realized that. When she decided to get a divorce, she did not stay
overnight and left just like that.
Helplessly, Trevon consented with a stony expression. “I’ll send someone to protect you in secret.
Natalie did not object to this and did not force herself to act tough. She still had Jasper to think of and
could not let anything happen to herself.
