    With that, the helicopter headed for the nearestnding site.


    Derek sat next to Natalie. She was resting her elbows on herp and covering her face with her hands.


    She had been silent the whole time since she sat back down.


    “Are you crying?” Derek cautiously asked as he lowered his head to get a closer look.


    However, Natalie shot him a re as he did so. “Go away. I am not in the mood to talk.”


    At that point, she knew she wouldn’t be able to hold back her tears any longer.


    “I know I shouldn’t say this, but…” Derek trailed off. “You should know that when Brandon chose to use


    his car to stop the convertible, he expected this would happen.” “Do you think I’m an idiot? Of course I


    know that,” Natalie said through gritted teeth. She felt even worse.


    Brandon must’ve known that she wouldn’t leave Mesue behind, so he took the risk to stop the car.


    Eventually, the helicopter arrived at the emergencynding site.


    As soon as Natalie got off the helicopter, she began calling Brandon. However, Brandon’s phone was


    off. She couldn’t get through to him.


    “Why is it off?!” she eximed in frustration. “Answer the phone, Brandon!”


    Mesue then approached her and exined, “They sent me a message saying that Mr. Larson had


    already sent to the hospital. Don’t worry, Mrs. Larson. The car didn’t explode.”


    “Really?” Natalie’s eyes went wide. “Brandon must’ve been seriously injured. He would definitely


    answer his phone if he was okay.”


    Mesue looked embarrassed as she said, “Please calm down, Mrs. Larson. Let’s just go to the hospital


    to see what’s going on.”


    Natalie hurriedly nodded. Every passing second was torturous for her now.


    Derek keptforting her in the taxi, but his attempts to calm her down didn’t work.


    “Derek, thank you forforting me. I really appreciate it,” Natalie said as she rubbed her forehead


    with one hand and leaned her elbow against the ss window. “But I can’t focus on what you’re saying


    when I’m not sure whether Brandon is safe or not.”


    Derek couldn’t help but feel bad for her. He had never seen such a painful, helpless look in Natalie’s


    eyes.


    She had always left a beautiful, gentle impression on him. He put a hand on his aching chest.


    Derek didn’t really like Brandon, but at that moment he hoped that he would survive.


    The dull atmosphere was interrupted by a ringing phone. It was a call from Brandon.


    As soon as Natalie saw the caller ID, she immediately answered and said, “Brandon, are you okay?”


    “I’m fine. Are you on your way to the hospital?” Brandon asked, seemingly a little tired.


    “I’m almost there. Wait for me, okay?” Natalie said in a panic. “I thought something bad happened


    when I saw smokeing out of your car. Are you sure you’re not injured?”


    “Yes, I’m sure.” Brandon chuckled. He was moved by how worried Natalie was for his well-being.


    “I had to turn the car and then identally hit the tree, but the damage wasn’t that serious. I and the


    person sitting in the passenger seat were both slightly injured. Anyway, I’ll wait for you in the hospital.”


    “Are you sure you’re not injured?” Natalie bit her lip. She was worried that he was only sugarcoating


    what had happened. “If I arrive at the hospital and find out that you’re seriously injured, I—”


    “I’m not,” Brandon cut her off, trying tofort her as he whispered, “I’m really fine. Don’t worry.”


    With that, Natalie hung up the call and rushed to the hospital.


    It was raining heavily outside, but regardless of that, she went out of the car and plunged herself into


    the rain.


    When she ran into the hospital, she was soaking w*et.


    Despite that, she went to the room where Brandon was confined in and pushed the door open.


    As soon as she saw Brandon lying on the bed, she immediately rushed over and hugged him—burying


    herself in his arms as she sobbed. At that point, she didn’t know whether the droplets of water that ran


    down her cheeks were her tears or just rainwater.


    “Look, did I ever lie to you?” Brandon asked, caressing Natalie’s face.

    Natalie observed his face carefully. She narrowed her eyes and asked, “Isn’t there a gauze on your


    forehead? You’re still hurt.”


    “I had a car ident, after all. I should already count my blessing that I don’t have any broken bones.”


    Brandon wiped the tears away from Natalie’s cheeks. His heart beat faster as he bent over and kissed


    Natalie on her forehead. Finally, he whispered in her ear, “With you by my side, I don’t want to die so


    young.”


    Natalie burst into tears. She didn’t cry in the midst of an emergency. But she couldn’t stop crying when


    she saw Brandon. “You’d better not!”


    Brandon had lost his memory in the past, so he had no idea that he had been in danger numerous


    times. Natalie was terrified every time it happened, and that was why she was crying so much.
