My Heart only Beats for You (Natalie Godfrey)
Chapter 575

Natalie's heart started beating frantically once she heard Tobias' questioning tone.

She was confused as to why she couldn't answer him.

After taking a deep breath, she answered, "It doesn't matter."

"It does. It is very important to me," Tobias's deepset eyes were fixed on her face.

"I don't want to talk about this nonsense anymore."

"Natalie..."

"I'm leaving."

Natalie's mind was in a mess. She could not stand here and keep up with her pretenses anymore. She could only find peace if she left.

Just then, a taxi drove by.

Natalie hurriedly waved to the driver. She immediately opened the door when the taxi stopped.

Tobias rushed forwards and held the door open, "Natalie, let me send you home!"

Natalie ignored him and hopped into the car, "Let's

go."

"You're not allowed to go," Tobias snapped at the driver.

The taxi driver took a glance at Tobias and realized that he was no ordinary man. Tobias' presence had intimidated him so much that he did not dare to drive away. Natalie shot Tobias a disdainful glare.

"Don't you have something else to do, Mr. Whitlock? You've been stalking me all day long!"

Tobias's face paled.

"Can I go now?" She met his gaze.

Tobias saw the determination in Natalie's eyes.

His eyes dimmed in disappointment.

He had waited so long for her to regain her memories.

He thought that as long as she remembered everything, the two of them would reconcile, and they would live happily ever after together with Hayden. However, Tobias never expected Natalie to be so cruel.

She was still deeply affected by the pain of the past, unwilling to forgive him for what he had done because of the misunderstandings they had back then. Tobias let go of the door weakly.

There would be opportunities for him in the future. He had to wait.

Just like how he had waited for Natalie to regain her memories.

"Go!" Natalie raised her voice and slammed the door shut.

The slamming of the door felt like the door to her heart had closed shut. It hurt.

Tobias stepped out of the driver's way as the driver drove away immediately.

Natalie told the driver her apartment's location and soon, they were headed in that direction.

After a few minutes of silence, Natalie noticed that the driver suddenly looked at her through the rearview mirror. His lips parted as if he wanted to speak but stopped on second thought. Natalie's eyebrow raised in suspicion.

She turned around to look behind her and saw a black Bentley trailing behind them.

It was Tobias's car.

She looked away.

Shutting her eyes, she took a few breaths to calm herself down. Her long thick lashes brushed against her eyelids as she blinked.

Everything about her looked calm, save for her trembling lashes.

She got out of the taxi when they arrived at her apartment.

Her senses told her that the black Bentley following her had also stopped.

Natalie went upstairs without even looking back.

When she opened the door, she was greeted by the sight of Selina sitting by the windowsill.

"Selina," Natalie called out.

Selina flinched and turned around, asking, "Natalie, my brother is downstairs. Has he been following you all this time?"

Natalie froze.

"Yes," She replied weakly.

When Selina was about to say something, Tobias's black Bentley had already left the building. She could only sigh under her breath.

On the other hand, Natalie noticed the food on the table.

They looked delicious, and the portions were way more than what they usually ate.

Hot steam rose from the dishes. It seemed like they had just been prepared.

Natalie knew right away that it definitely was not

Selina's cooking.

"Who cooked these?" She asked.

"My mom. She was here earlier and just left," Selina replied.

Natalie blinked, unknown emotions filling her heart.

Cecilia really did not have to do this.

"Selina, please don't let her come here next time. She doesn't have to do this. I don't want to owe your family anything," Natalie requested softly. She understood that no one meant for the incident to happen.

She didn't hate Tobias nor Cecilia. She really did not.

But that didn't mean that she could forget about it.

She did not want anything to do with them after everything that had happened.

Selina immediately understood what Natalie meant.

"Dear sister-in-law, actually..."

"Call me Natalie," Natalie snapped.

Selina trailed off.

"Natalie," She corrected herself, "I know that you don't want to hear this, but I still have to say it. What happened was truly a misunderstanding.

Think about it, anyone would have done what my brother did if they found out they were marrying their sibling. Am I right, Natalie? My brother's feelings for you have always been true. He only did those things to you because of the misunderstandings they had."

"A misunderstanding," Natalie's tone was sarcastic as she smirked, "Selina, don't you think that this misunderstanding is a little too convenient?"

Selina was confused.

Natalie continued, "I can't forgive him because he didn't take this matter seriously at all. He didn't do anything to prove that I was his sister. He didn't bother to do a paternity test, and he didn't even bother to be honest and tell me about it in the first place."

Natalie's facial features twisted in pain.

"Now that he has cleared up the misunderstanding, he assumes that I can reconcile with him after meeting up with him. But what about the torture I suffered all those years? Can time really heal the wounds inflicted upon me?"

She stared into Selina's eyes and spat, "The reason you keep speaking up for your brother is because this didn't happen to you. You can never feel my pain, so you will never understand what I have been through, do you understand?"

Selina was speechless.

After a while, she explained, "Natalie, my brother suffered too. His life was miserable for so many years. At some point, he even started coughing up blood." Natalie shuddered upon hearing this.

"Selina, please don't talk about this anymore. I'm not interested. If you want to continue this conversation, I'll just have to leave."

Upon noticing Natalie's angry expression, Selina immediately shut up and remained silent.

Natalie went to the hospital again later that night. Initially, she planned to visit Remington the next day, but she suddenly remembered her promise to Hayden.

The first thing she saw was Benjamin, who was sitting outside Remington's ward.

He was staring up at the ceiling, sighing heavily.

"I don't like men," Benjamin muttered mindlessly, as though he was a robot, "I don't like Remington either."

"I don't like men, and I don't like Remington either."

Natalie was shocked by what she heard.

Nevertheless, she still greeted him politely, "Mr. Simpson."

Benjamin jumped when he saw her and immediately grew anxious.

"Miss Simpson, you..."

"I'm here to see Remington," She cut him off calmly.

Benjamin sighed again.

Before he could stop Natalie, she was already walking straight into the ward. He quickly followed behind her.

At that moment, Remington was sitting on the bed.

He still looked amazing even when he was in a hospital gown.

Under the warm sunlight, his features looked ethereal. His perfectly arched brows complemented his dark eyes perfectly, and that smug grin on the corner of his mouth made him look lazy but carefree. "Remington, I'm here to see you," Natalie said.

Her voice was bright and clear.

Remington's eyes widened in surprise, though his emotions quickly disappeared without anyone noticing.

Natalie seemed different. Very different.
