Turning Of the Tide by Diana Sander

Chapter 290

At around three in the middle of the night, Natalie was in a deep sleep. when she was woken up by the

ringing of her phone on the bedside. table.

Trevon leaned over and took Natalie’s phone to check. When Trevon saw that it was an anonymous

number, Trevon hung up.

Just as Trevon put the phone back, the phone rang again. Trevon frowned and wanted to hang up

again. Natalie propped up her upper body and narrowed her sleepy eyes. Natalie asked, “Who is it?”

Trevon replied unhappily, “I don’t know. It’s an unknown number.”

Natalie glanced sideways at the phone number. “It’s Emily.”

Trevon asked, “Are you going to answer it?”

“Block the call,” Natalie said.

Natalie thought that Emily was going to ask for her help again. Natalie didn’t want to talk about Harry’s

arrest.

When a person makes a mistake, they should receive the punishment. they deserve. They should have

expected the day to come before they make the mistake.

Trevon obediently hung up the phone. Then, Trevon blocked the call and lay down again. Trevon

hugged Natalie’s soft waist and pulled Natalie into his arms. “Sleep a little longer, honey.”

Natalie was still half-asleep. She snuggled into Trevon’s arms and agreed. “Okay.”

Then, Natalie fell asleep again. Trevon kissed her forehead and murmured, “Natalie, I’ll handle

everything. Just be happy from now on.”

When Natalie woke up again, it was because her phone was ringing again. Natalie didn’t know what

was happening today, but her phone kept ringing. This time it was Sherri. Trevon was no longer on the

bed. Noises were coming from the living room.

As soon as Natalie picked up the call, Sherri began speaking energetically. “Natalie, are you up? I’ve

got big news, huge news. One is good, and the other is bad.”

Natalie rubbed her temples and yawned. “Which one do you prefer to say?”

Sherri paused for a moment. “Then I’ll give you the happy news first. Elena died last night. The news

reported it. They said Elena fought with someone in prison and died.”

Elena died due to a fight?

What a joke. Was Elena that stupid? Elena had cherished her life very much.

Natalie did not believe that Elena would die just like that. “You’re joking, right?”

Sherri knew Natalie would not believe her. Sherri said affirmatively, “Look at the news later. It’s

absolutely true. Am I crazy to joke with you. like this? I’m going to give you the bad news now. Can you

take it? You won’t collapse, would you?”

“Can’t you think better of me? It’s early in the morning.”

Sherri apologized. “I’m sorry, I’m sorry. I was rambling. It’s your scumbag dad. He was sentenced to

death. There’s no news report on this. My brother told me. I thought I should tell you anyway. After all,

as you said, he’s your DNA donor.”

Death sentence. Natalie was shocked awake by these words. Her head was buzzing, and Natalie felt

suffocated. “Did they say why?”

Natalie’s heart clenched. Not because Harry had been sentenced but because Natalie had thought of

the reason for the sentence. Natalie could hazard a guess.

Sherri said truthfully, “No, my brother said that the authorities had been. told to keep it quiet. I can only

tell you that it’s the death penalty. Perhaps your husband knows.”

Natalie chatted with Sherri a bit more before hanging up. Natalie was in a daze and her palms were

cold.

The more Natalie thought about it, the more terrified she became.

When Trevon walked in, he saw Natalie sitting on the bed in a daze with a pale face. Trevon walked

over worriedly and frowned. “What’s wrong? You look so pale. We didn’t eat meat last night.”

Natalie rubbed her temples and yawned. “Which one do you prefer to say?”

Sherri paused for a moment. “Then I’ll give you the happy news first. Elena died last night. The news

reported it. They said Elena fought with someone in prison and died.”

Elena died due to a fight?

What a joke. Was Elena that stupid? Elena had cherished her life very much.

Natalie did not believe that Elena would die just like that. “You’re joking, right?”

Sherri knew Natalie would not believe her. Sherri said affirmatively, “Look at the news later. It’s

absolutely true. Am I crazy to joke with you like this? I’m going to give you the bad news now. Can you

take it? You won’t collapse, would you?”

“Can’t you think better of me? It’s early in the morning.”

Sherri apologized. “I’m sorry, I’m sorry. I was rambling. It’s your scumbag dad. He was sentenced to

death. There’s no news report on this. My brother told me. I thought I should tell you anyway. After all,

Death sentence. Natalie was shocked awake by these words. Her head was buzzing, and Natalie felt

suffocated. “Did they say why?”

Natalie’s heart clenched. Not because Harry had been sentenced but because Natalie had thought of

the reason for the sentence. Natalie could hazard a guess.

Sherri said truthfully, “No, my brother said that the authorities had been told to keep it quiet. I can only

tell you that it’s the death penalty. Perhaps your husband knows.”

Natalie chatted with Sherri a bit more before hanging up. Natalie was in a daze and her palms were

cold.

The more Natalie thought about it, the more terrified she became.

When Trevon walked in, he saw Natalie sitting on the bed in a daze with a pale face. Trevon walked

over worriedly and frowned. “What’s wrong? You look so pale. We didn’t eat meat last night.”

Natalie didn’t cry. Natalie wrapped the blanket around herself and looked at the man tucking her loose

hair behind her ears. Natalie asked, “Do you know?”

The sudden question confused Trevon. Trevon did not understand Natalie’s question. “What?”

Natalie said bluntly, “Elena is dead. Harry has been given the death sentence.”

It was not normal for two things to happen in one night.

Hearing this, Trevon froze momentarily. How could it be so fast? Who revealed it to Natalie? Trevon

gently caressed the top of Natalie’s head. “Who told you?”

Natalie was not stupid. She had seen the answer in his eyes, but Natalie still wanted to ask. “You did

it?”

“Yes. Is it my fault? Harry is your father, and there’s no way to change. that. If you can’t do anything to

him, I’ll do it. You don’t have to feel guilty, and you don’t have to feel conflicted,” Trevon admitted.

Trevon did not intend to hide this from her, but he planned to hide the other matter. for the rest of his

life.

Natalie was very calm. Natalie shook his head, indicating that she did not blame Trevon. “Can I know

the reason? My mother…”

Trevon touched Natalie’s face and said, “Your mother died because of Elena. Elena has also received

her retribution now. A life for a life. Elena had the motive to kill Emma from the start for the status she

has now. Your grandparents died because of Harry and Elena’s conspiracy as well.

“They did it just to get everything from the Lopez family. Don’t be sad. If you want to cry, cry for a

while.”

Natalie shook her head again, but tears were already flowing from the corners of her eyes. Natalie’s

heart ached. Natalie had always known that her grandparents had perished in a car accident. Natalie

had even suspected her mother’s death, but her grandfather had told Natalie that her mother had

committed suicide because of depression. Natalie had investigated people with severe depression and

believed it.

“No, Grandpa and the others won’t want me to cry. Grandpa wants me to live happily for the rest of my

life.”

“Okay.” Trevon hugged her tightly, caressing Natalie as if she were a child and cherishing Natalie like

treasure.

When Natalie calmed down, Trevon repeated what Harry had said to him word by word. Natalie should

know the truth.

However, in Trevon’s recount, Emma’s lover was eliminated.

Natalie would never go to Elena’s funeral. Natalie was not a saint to such an extent.

Some people make mistakes that cannot be forgiven even if they die. People like Elena and Harry.

Natalie would never forgive them because the dead could not be resurrected.

If Elena and Harry hadn’t done that, her mother and grandparents might still be living happily. Natalie’s

childhood wouldn’t have been so unhappy.

However, Natalie would visit Harry before the execution. After all, Harry was her DNA donor. This was

the only kindness Natalie could manage.

As Natalie was lost in her thoughts, she received a text message on her phone. Natalie recognized this

number. It was Tucker.

Trevon, who was beside her, naturally saw it. Trevon opened his mouth and said, “Take a look.”

Natalie Foster turned on his phone and opened the message. [Natalie, I know why Mom jumped off the

building and why Dad went to jail. I went. to the police station and learned that Dad was inside because

of drugs. But I know it’s not because of this. I also know that Dad probably won’t come out for the rest

of his life.]

After reading the message, just as Natalie was about to put away the phone, another message came

in. [Natalie, I’m sorry. I actually knew the truth a long time ago, but I didn’t dare to say it. I’m too

cowardly. They’re my parents. If I say it, they’ll all die.]

There was a third message. [I knew the truth when I was eight years old. I had a nightmare and I went

to look for Dad and Mum in the middle of the night and accidentally overheard their conversation. At

that time, I was very afraid. I didn’t know what to do. I wanted to persuade my mother to turn herself in,

but I knew that it was impossible. I stayed in school because I couldn’t do anything to them. I also

couldn’t face my cowardly self. Bad people should be punished, but I covered up for them.

I knew that you wouldn’t forgive me.]

The fourth message came. [Natalie, I’m sorry. They are being held responsible now. According to the

law, they should have taken responsibility a long time ago. I’ll be honest with Elena. She won’t find

trouble with you.]

Every word was filled with a child’s apology and guilt.

However, Tucker was only eight years old at that time and was only in his teens now. How could Tucker

turn his parents to the police? If it were Natalie, would she be able to do that? Even Natalie could not

answer.

Natalie finished reading the messages. So did Trevon. “Tucker has the correct values. Elena has at

least succeeded in rearing him.”

Natalie raised her head and smiled. Natalie felt a little relieved and didn’t want to fuss about it anymore.

Life was so beautiful, so why did she have to fuss about this? “Tucker’s only in his teens.

Understandably, he can’t put righteousness before family. Tucker’s already blaming himself so much

that he went to boarding school. He must have been feeling. terrible all these years. They are his

parents, and Tucker was only a teenager who was starting to understand what’s good and what’s evil.

He couldn’t follow his teacher’s teachings and struggle between right and wrong.”

Trevon rarely praised anyone but he did now. “If Tucker doesn’t go astray. in the future, with his

temperament, he can make a name for himself. Recently, their school has established a scholarship

fund. Tucker’s now eligible, and the school will pay for his future tuition fees. His results are very good,

and he’s basically first in the cohort. Tucker can definitely get an additional scholarship.”

Everyone knew very well how this scholarship came about and how the recently established

scholarship fund came about.

Natalie raised herself and quickly kissed Trevon on the lips. Natalie smiled and lowered her head to

send a message. [Study hard.]

Tucker replied very quickly. [Got it, sis. Thank you.]

Natalie put away her phone and met his burning gaze. She quickly stopped Trevon. “Stop. I have to go

to work.”

The next second, Trevon’s face fell as he compromised. “Got it. Hurry up and go eat breakfast.”
