Chapter 179
During lunchtime at noon, in a certain ward of Athana Hospital, Natalie Foster and Sherri Landor were
eating in Lena’s
ward.
Trevon Wilson had arranged a VIP ward for Lena. The ward interior was very spacious. Natalie was
eating at the coffee table with Sherri. When Natalie turned around and saw that Lena hadn’t touched
her food, her eyes turned slightly red-rimmed. She stood up and walked over to help Lena eat her food.
“Godmother, what’s wrong? Is it not to your liking?”
Natalie had ordered this chicken soup en croute before she went to work. She went to get her order as
soon as she came out for lunch. The taste should be fine. She had seen good reviews for it.
Lena said with tears in her eyes. “When did 1 earn the right to have a daughter like you in this lifetime?
I have truly benefited from a misfortune.”
Sherri turned around and said. “Lena, just ept Natalie. Isn’t it great to have another daughter?”
This time, Lena did not demur anymore. In truth, she wasn’t really demurring. Lena had been serving
others her entire life. Now that she was sick, the person she was serving had turned around to serve
her instead. How could she not be touched?
Lena was very agitated. Her hand that was holding the spoon was trembling. A crystal clear teardrop
fell onto the pastry top of the soup. She scooped a spoonful of pastry and soup and put it in her mouth.
It was very tasty. This was the tastiest soup she had ever eaten in her life. “Sigh! I ept. She had to
treat Natalie twice as well in the future. Such a child was too hard toe by.
Fortunately, Jasper was line. Otherwise, what would she do?
Other people did not know how hard it was for Natalie, but Lena knew. Natalie had no parents since
she was young. When she was bullied at a young age, she had to learn to fight back by herself. When
she returned home, she would always conceal the bad things that happened and only report on the
good things that happened.
And there was Jasper. When Lena thought about how both she and Jenny had met with mishaps, she
wondered what happened to Jasper. “Who’s taking care of Jasper now? Is she reliable? Is it alright to
leave the child with her? Does she have any experience!”
Natalie looked at Lena who was lying on the bed covered in injuries but still kept thinking about Jasper.
She had asked four questions in a row. “Don’t worry, Godmother. He’s doing very well. I think he’ll be
able to dominate the world in a few days.”
“Huh?” Lena didn’t understand what Natale said.
Natalie smiled and did not hide anything. She wanted to reassure Lena. Natalie knew Lena would not
be at case if any unfamiliar person took Jasper away. “Jasper is at his father’s ce. He’s very safe
and is very well taken care of.”
In order to put Natalie’s mind at ease, Trevon Wilson asked his mother to take a few photos of Jasper
ying and send them to Natalie Jasper was indeed very well taken care of
Likewise, to put Lena’s mind at ease, Natalie took out her cell phone and showed Lena the photos of
Jasper ying. After looking at the photos, Lena was indeed very relieved. The corners of her lips
curled up. “Jasper seems to be quite happy.”
Natalie thought, “How can he not be happy? He is living like a Crown Prince every day. Everyone is
fawning over him. You have no idea how much love is showered on him.”
In fact, Natalie was a little worried that they would spoil him too much and when the child came back,
he would be out of control.
Lena didn’t know which cursed fellow could be so ruthless as to want to kill a child. How could he bear
to kill Jasper, who was so adorable? “Miss… Natalie, is it safe for you to go to work now?”
Natalie knew that Lena was worried and said light-heartedly. “It’s safe. I still have self-defense skills,
don’t I can still fight against ordinary thugs.”
Sherri mocked Natalie in her heart, “The Landor family’s eight bodyguards were defeated by you, yet
you still say that you are only good enough to handle ordinary thugs. You’re really humble.”
Lena was full after eating half a bowl. Natalie offered her some apple slices. “Eat more. If you feel
ufortable when Im not around, just summon the doctor.”
She turned to the caregiver who was busy working and said, “What’s your name?”
The caregiver was a youngdy who was about the same age as Natalie. She had been busy working
ever since Natalie and Sherri came in. It was obvious that she was quite diligent, which made Natalie
feel much more at ease.
“Just call me Mel. Miss Natalie, feel free to instruct me if you need anything. Mr. Jim Hawk has already
given me his instructions. I will take good care of Lena” Her attitude was assiduous and sincere. There
was no trace of scheming in her eyes. Her eyes were clear and pure.
“Thank you for your hard work. Just call me if you need anything.” Natalie read out her cell phone
number to Mel
The caregiver saved the phone number into her phone’s address book and said politely, “Sure.”
When Natalie saw Mel saving the number under the name “Miss Natalie,” she suggested, “You can call
me Natalie”
The caregiver smiled. Then I address you as Dr. Foster then. Lena says you are a doctor here.”
“That’s fine too.” Names were only appetions, to begin with. Natalie didn’t mind how she was
addressed.
Natalie and Sherri were about to clear the table when they were stopped by the caregiver. “You’re all
good people who treat and save people. Let me do this. This won’t take long. I’m very fast in carrying
out my work.”
Lena began to praise the caregiver. “This youngdy is especially diligent. She doesn’t talk much, but
she’s honest. She does whatever she’s asked to do. She’s not afraid of getting dirty or getting tired at
all.”
Lena could tell that she was truly a young girl who knew how to get things done. She did not have any
distracting thoughts. Whoever married her would have a lot less to worry about.
“Lena. I’m leaving. Call me if you need anything. My cell phone is always on” Ever since this incident,
Natalie had changed her habit of keeping her cell phone on silent mode or even switching it off totally.
The first thing she did when she woke up in the morning was to check whether her cell phone was fully
charged and whether the ring volume was turned to the
maximum.
However, when she was working, she would still switch her cell phone to vibration mode. Her cell
phone would be ced at the corner of the desk so that she would not miss any calls again.
Sherri also bade Lena farewell. “Lena, I’m leaving too. I have to get back to work soon. I’lle and
visit you another day. If you need anything and Natalie is busy, you can look for me too. It’s the same
whether you look for me or her.”
Lena hurriedly nodded and voiced her affirmation repeatedly. She told them to go to work quickly and
not to visit her if they were busy.
After walking out of the door, Sherri held her best friend’s arm and asked, “Why did you send Jasper to
the Wilson’s residence! If you don’t want to, I can actually get my mother to help take care of him. He
can even keep Rubypany.”
Natalie sighed. She turned her head and said solemnly, “My dear friend, would you believe me if I said
that I only found out after the child has been taken to the Wilson’s residence?”
Sherri looked surprised. “Is Trevon Wilson that despicable? How can he do that?” Initially, Sherri had
changed her opinion. of him quite a bit. Now, she had to deduct his brownie points.
As the two talked, Natalie was about to exin this matter when her phone rang. It was a call from Jim
Hawk. “Hello”
“Mrs. Wilson, the Turner family’s bodyguard has regamed consciousness. This news was the best
news for Natalie. Finally, there was divine justice in this world after all. She was finally able to put her
mind at ease.
Natalie quickly walked to the ward that Jim mentioned in his closingments. When she saw that she
still had some time before starting work, Sherri also followed her. Although Ethan White did not have
much interaction with Sherri, he was still the Turner family’s bodyguard and she was indebted to the
Turner family. I’ll go with you”
When they arrived at the ward, Ethan was so weak but he still wanted to speak. Natalie knew what he
was concerned about foremost when he regained consciousness, so she said in advance, “Don’t worry.
Jasper is fine. He’s not injured at all. I’ve already settled him down. Lena is also recuperating. You
should also rest properly here and recuperate. As for my older cousin. I will exin to him. You
probably won’t be punished. I must thank you.”
Natalie exined everything that Ethan wanted to know in one breath.
Ethan had just regained consciousness and his face was drained of color. He would probably be
chased out of the Turner family for failing in his mission this time. He had been careless. “Thank you,
Miss Natalie.”
When she saw that he spoke very weakly, Natalie said, “Don’t talk anymore. Conserve your strength
and recuperate properly. I’m very safe. These two fellows will stay behind to take care of you. You don’t
have to worry about me and Jasper. Your priority now is to recover.” Natalie was prepared to do
something big. She couldn’t let her older cousin find out.
Ethan nodded. This youngdy had always been as easy to get along with as Miss Ava Turner. She did
not have the airs of a rich, pampered youngdy.
There was still some time before they returned to the office, Sherri was a little worried about her best
friend’s safety. “Natalie, why don’t I add a few more bodyguards for you? I keep feeling it’s unsafe. We
haven’t found the mastermind yet.” “It won’t be so fast. If they dare to do such a thing in broad daylight,
it means that they’ve long concealed everything that can be found by others. It’s definitely not that easy
to dig out clues and the mastermind. It’ll take some time. How can we send them to the mmer
without sufficient evidence?”
Now that things were moving in a positive direction, Natalie felt much better. However, Jenny’s matter
was an emotional knot in her heart. So after this, she would wait for the snake to show itself?
Suddenly, Natalie thought of something. “By the way, what was the matter that you wanted to tell me in
person thest
time?”
“Hmm? What matter?” After thinking for a moment, the realization hit Sherri. “Oh, right. Initially, I
wanted to tell you that I’ll try it out with… Hackett ckwell.” Thest two words were discernibly very
soft. Sherri did not sound very confident and mumbled somewhat incoherently.
Natalie didn’t quite hear her. “Try what?”
In the end, after putting two and two together, Natalie looked at Sherri in surprise. “You two are
together?”
Sherri lowered her head and nodded. She was too ashamed to look her best friend in the eye. Even
without thinking, she knew that her best friend must be very surprised now. She just did not know if her
best friend might despise her and look down on her spinelessness.
After all, she did swear imperiously that she would never take a fancy to this scumbag back then.
Wasn’t she pping herself in the face by saying that she wanted to try it out with him now?
The room fell silent for a moment before Natalie’s voice rang out. “It’s a pretty good idea.”

Sherri raised her head abruptly as if she had heard something incredible. “Aren’t you going to scold me
for being useless?”
Natalie leaned against the back of the chair. She appeared to have understood something. She stared
at the ceiling and saw nothing but a swathe of white. “In the past. I used to think that I was a
superbeing and that it was enough as long as my son had me. But one day, when my son was ying
with Trevon Wilson, I realized that I couldn’t take the ce of my child’s father. Over the past few days,
after Jenny left. Ive thought about it a lot. Life is unpredictable. I don’t know what’s waiting for me
tomorrow, so I should seize every day to be happy now. At least, I can reduce my regrets. If Hackett
ckwell truly loves you and treats you sincerely, it’s not impossible to give him a try. What if the
oue is good? It’s better than you looking for someone else to be Ruby’s father”
Who knew what would happen in the future? It was enough to seize the present! It was important for
her to cherish all the people nearby who loved her It was important to live.
By the time Natalie finished talking. Sherri’s face was already filled with shock. Was this still the best
friend who said that men were farty? Do you mean what you’ve just said?”
“Do I look like I’m joking? I’m serious. You and I are the same. Since you can’t decide the future and
can’t control idents, let nature take its course. Isn’t it good to be happy?”
you
Sherri felt that the incident this time had a huge impact on her best friend’s mindset. She asked
tentatively. “What about and Trevon Wilson? What are you thinking? I can tell that he really cares about
you and has changed a lot.”
Natalie was silent for a few seconds. I want to wait until we catch the mastermind before discussing
further.”
“That’s fine too. There’s no hurry anyway If he can’t even want for such a short while, we’ll cklist him
again.” After saying that, Sherri rested her chin on her hands. She appeared to be at a loss, and her
face was frowning. She then sighed heavily and sand. “Natalie. I think I have a good impression of
Hackett ckwell, but I realized that he doesn’t seem to like me that much. What if I like him during the
trial period and he doesn’t like me
This was the first time Natalie saw Sherri worrying about personal gains and losses. All along, Sherri
had been rtively confident. It seemed that she might have really fallen for that guy “Where’s your
confulence? Where did it go? Aren’t you the type who is loved by everyone and blooms like a flower in
front of people? Howe you turn into a wilting blossom the moment you meet Hackett ckwell?”
Sherri shook her head “Sigh! The point is that he also said that he himself is the type who is loved by
everyone and blooms like a flower in front of people.”
After so much wrangling, it turned out that both of them were narcissists. “Then let’s see which flower
blooms more radiantly. However, you might not be able topare to Hackett ckwell if he were to
really strut his stuff like a peacock spreading its tail.*
Sherri was utterly speechless. This chat led to nothing in the end. It would have been fine if they didn’t
chat, but after chatting with Natalie, Sherri felt even more suffocated. Sure enough, she could not
depend on Natalie for love advice.
