My Heart only Beats for You

There was another moment of silence.

This time, none of them spoke any further and there was only silence in the air.

Hours passed. Tobias waited outside the emergency room, pacing up and down.

Natalie was going to tell him to leave, but she stopped herself. She had no right to tell him that.

Initially, he had stayed back because of her, but now, he was here for Remington.

Remington was his younger brother, after all.

Late in the evening, the doctor approached them with a relieved smile on his face. Remington's condition had finally stabilized, and he was no longer in critical condition.

Natalie heaved a huge sigh of relief. She felt like a heavy burden had been lifted off her shoulders.

Thank God Remington was safe.

"Remington is not in critical condition anymore. You may leave withnow," Tobias suddenly said. "No." Natalie refused without thinking.

She had never intended to follow Tobias home. After all, Remington was now suffering because of her. Even if his condition had stabilized, she still couldn't leave him. To leave him after all that happened would be inhumane.

Tobias's eyes bored intensely at her. "I'll send someone to take care of him, and I will make sure that he gets the best care. It is not your duty to watch over him. You're my woman. Remember your place." Clenching her fists, Natalie tried to keep her breathing steady as she took a few breaths.

She pinned him with a determined gaze. "Mr. Whitlock, I must stay here. He is injured because of me. I must stay with him." Tobias's eyes widened, incredulous.

He had no idea how or why Remington got injured, but he would never have guessed that he hurt himself because of Natalie.

"He went to the Amazon Jungle because of me. He was bit by a crocodile, and he almost died," she explained, her body trembling slightly.

Tobias narrowed his eyes, his jaw clenched.

His irked gaze sliced her face, interrogating. "Natalie, who is Remington to you?" Remington was bitten by a crocodile when he visited Amazon Jungle because of Natalie. Natalie, on the other hand, was so insistent on staying by Remington's side.

Tobias scoffed bitterly to himself, suddenly realizing how ironically things were unfolding.

Natalie's mind was in a complete state of chaos.

What was her relationship with Remington? She had always looked to him as her best friend.

But after he nearly forced himself on her in the car, their friendship cto an end.

With everything that had happened, coupled with the fact that she found out she was not a virgin, the idea of leaving Tobias was becoming increasingly sensible.

She decided to tell him the possible half-truth. "Remington and I might probably be lovers." Plus, she wanted to drive Tobias away with her words - to completely destroy his hopes of winning her back.

Natalie's motives were achieved. As soon as she finished speaking, Tobias's eyes burst into a violent, fiery rage that she had never seen before.

The flin his eyes burned straight into her soul, his mouth that usually smiled at her now formed a hard and unforgiving line.

At this moment, it was as if Tobias stepped out from his usual self, and turned into the very reincarnation of Hades himself.

He was terrifying without even having a word leave his lips. Natalie flinched and took a step back, frightened. Gritting his teeth, he sputtered, "I'm warning you, Natalie, never say something like that again. You are mine. Every inch of your body, every strand of your hair. Mine. I will never allow anyone else to touch you, otherwise-" His words stuck in his throat.

The sight of Natalie as frightened like a deer in headlights made him go soft.

He couldn't bring himself to yell at her.

"Follow me," he said after a while.

Tobias reached out and held onto her hand tightly.

Natalie hesitated for a moment.

She glanced up and stared at Tobias defiantly. Tears had already gathered in her eyes. "Mr. Whitlock, even if you tookby force and used every method possible, what use will they be when my mind and heart are still unconvinced and worried about Remington? This will only makehate you and despise you. Is this what you want?" Tobias froze, and his grip on her hand stiffened. Then, he let go of her hand.

Silence struck again. Natalie noticed his hurt expression and bit her lip.

Their eyes met, and he said blandly, "I'll give you stto think about it, Natalie." Tobias finally left her alone.

Natalie's whole body collapsed onto the hospital bench, dead on her feet.

Pain and anger welled up inside her, and a huge lump formed in her throat.

How did things turn out this way? Why would things fall apart soon after she finally accepted Tobias and slept with him? They broke up right after they slept with each other. Their relationship certainly was unique and was one of a kind.

Natalie bit her fingernails.

She could have continued dating Tobias, but she couldn't lie to herself.

She had another man before Tobias.

It would be impossible for her to act like nothing had happened and continue dating him.

She had to find out everything that happened before she lost her memories. Was Remington her lover before? As she was figuring out the answers to these questions, she felt a painful sting jolting her brain again.

Her head would hurt like mad every tshe thought about these things.

It was already quite late, and a slender figure walked towards her as she was massaging her aching temples.

She blinked her eyes and made out the shape of the figure. It was a tall and buff man. Peering closer, she saw a handsface with eyes as clear as spring water.

"Mr. Simpson," she greeted when she finally recognized him, forcing a smile.

Benjamin sat down beside her and asked, "Are you okay, Miss Godfrey?" "I'm fine." She laughed dryly. "Why wouldn't I be?" Benjamin's gaze wavered.

He hesitated before explaining, "Mr. Whitlock askedto accompany you." "Oh." Of course, she knew this without needing Benjamin to clarify. Otherwise, why would he suddenly chere? The two of them stared at each other, the situation felt a little thorny.

Benjamin gave a tiny laugh, attempting to relieve the weird tension between them.

However, Natalie did not respond at all. Instead, she stared vacantly at the wall. The atmosphere grew even more awkward.

Benjamin cleared his throat loudly.

Startled by the noise, Natalie looked towards him.

"Mr. Simpson, do you have something to say?" She asked.

He decided not to be direct and asked, "Did you have an argument with Mr. Whitlock?" When Tobias called him earlier, his tone was so icy that he could feel the bone- piercing chill running down his spine through the phone.

Natalie's expression changed a little.

"Not really. We just broke up," she muttered.

It was just a breakup.

Benjamin heaved an internal sigh.

He remembered that before Natalie had lost her memories, she had also been in an on-and-off Kelationship with Tobias. Their relationship was constant breakups and getting-back-togethers.

He had lost count of how many times they had broken up then reconciled he then broken up again. If he had a dollar every tthey broke up, would probably ha have enough money to circle the globe. Who knew Natalie would still break up with Tobias even after she had amnesia. S'a**h the FindNøvel. t website on Gøøgle to access chapters of early and in the highest quality. Benjamin just couldn't figure out why this kept happening.

After all, since losing her memories, Natalie's personality seemed to have changed. She was no longer the prickly and unapproachable person she used to be, and she was even sweet to Tobias now. Hot Singles Are Looking For Older Men | >
