After a long while, Selina nodded. "I'll definitely let Natalie know." Selina arrived at Natalie's apartment.
To her surprise, Natalie was coping with the situation better than she had expected.
She even invited Selina to try out sof the bread that she'd baked.
It was only then that Selina realised Natalie had baked the bread she'd brought for Hayden everyday.
She picked up one of the bread rolls and took a huge bite.
It tasted delicious, at par with those bought from bakeries.
Natalie watched Selina, then asked, "How is it, Selina?" There was a hint of anxiousness in her tone.
Selina nodded. "It tastes good, even better than in those bakeries." Her comment brought a smile to Natalie's face. "That's good to hear. I'll bake sfor Tobias when he's back. I wonder whether he'll like it?" Selina paused mid-bite. S~EaRch the FindWebsite on Gøøgle to access chapters of early and in the highest quality.
Bake sfor Tobias...
She suddenly thought of what Cecilia had told her.
Would Natalie... still have the chance to do that? After that, Natalie talked to Selina about many things, and they were all related to Tobias.
"Selina, lately I've been learning to cook all kinds of food at hevery day. I'll cook for Tobias when he comes back." "I dreamt of Tobias last night, Selina. Do you think that it's a sign that he will cback soon?" "Do you still remember the white hair I had last time? Do you think I'm getting old? Will Tobias not likeany more now that I'm old?" The way Natalie spoke was as if Tobias hadn't even experienced the explosion, like he'd only gone on a long, long trip, and that he'd be back any moment. Her voice was full of determination.
Selina lost her appetite.
Her heart twisted, and she felt like something was going to burst out of her.
She suddenly had the urge to tell Natalie that they had already found Tobias, and he was now in a hospital in the United States.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHowever, she stopped herself when she remembered how final Cecilia's words were. Internally, she was torn between Natalie and Cecilia. It was a difficult struggle indeed.
Out of frustration, she stood up to calm herself down.
Selina's sudden movement of shooting up from her seat startled Natalie.
She stared at Selina, eyes wide.
Selina forced herself to stay calm. "Natalie, I still have sthings to do, so I need to get going." Natalie's face fell, but she nodded and answered, "Alright." Selina quickly left the apartment as if she was running away from Natalie.
Her eyes were already full of tears by the tshe reached the stairs.
She felt horrible listening to Natalie talk about Tobias, but what made her feel worse was that she could do nothing about it.
A Porsche Cayenne was parked in front of Natalie's apartment when Selina went downstairs.
She didn't notice the vehicle, still engrossed in her own thoughts.
Selina walked past the Porsche Cayenne absentmindedly.
The car window suddenly rolled down.
"Selina," a man's voice called out.
She paused.
Selina turned around, and saw an overly handsface.
His eyebrows were full and thick, and his eyes were bright. His features were also sharp and pronounced, like a Greek god's.
Selina thought he looked a little familiar.
"I'm sorry, do I know you?" She asked hesitantly.
The man smiled and replied, "I'm Matthew Perry." Selina was sure that she'd heard of this nbefore, but she couldn't recall from where.
He looked into her eyes. "The ball from nine years ago. Have you forgotten?" Realisation dawned on her.
She immediately remembered who this man was.
Usually, she wouldn't remember someone that she had only met once.
However, he was too handsto be forgotten. That was why Selina immediately remembered who he was the moment he reminded her.
A faint smile formed on her lips. "Uncle, it's you." Matthew was lost for words.
He said a little helplessly, "Get in the car, missy. I have something to tell you." This taround, Matthew cto find Natalie.
Although Tobias' family had refused to let Natalie visit Tobias, Matthew wanted to talk to her first.
He wasn't sure if he should tell her about Tobias' condition and take her to see him, since Tobias' family was so against it.
He couldn't go against Tobias' family's wishes, after all.
He'd been thinking it over in his car, parked outside Natalie's apartment. That was when he saw Selina.
Without a second thought, he called out to her.
Meanwhile, Selina got into the car.
The comforting warmth inside the car and Matthew's assuring presence cheered her up a little.
"You chere to see Natalie." Matthew's voice was very pleasant. It made ones ears feel very comfortable.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe nodded.
A moment later, Selina cback to her senses.
"You know Natalie?" She looked at him in astonishment.
Matthew gave another helpless sigh. "Your brother and I are friends. Very good friends." "Oh." She did not know that Tobias and Matthew were friends.
"That makes sense," she muttered, "Seeing the two of you are about the sage. You're both so old. That's why you can get along with each other well." Matthew winced.
He looked at Selina. "Is my age the only thing you can see?" All those years ago, Selina had rejected him because of his age.
Selina's breathing hitched a little.
She never realised how beautiful Matthew's eyes were. They gave off a passionate, tender vibe, no matter who he was looking at.
His eyes gleamed.
The corners of Selina's mouth twitched. "Oh, I forgot. I think you're a little older than my brother." Matthew was lost for words again.
His life had always been smooth- sailing, and Selina was the only obstacle that he could never seem to get past.
Even though he was in the mood to flirt with Selina now, he knew that it was not the tfor that.
He went back to their original topic. "I just cfrom the United States." Selina lowered her gaze and said faintly, "You've seen my brother, haven't you?" Matthew nodded. "Tobias has yet to recover, and my suggestion was to bring Natalie to see him. However, your family is very much against it."
Selina's fingers twisted subconsciously. "Actually, I had the sthought. Natalie has the right to know, and she missed Tobias terribly. My grandfather and mothe are being very cruel to her, but my mother has her reasons. Do you know how much my mother liked Natalie, and how badly she wanted Natalie and Tobias to be together? I think this incident has really scared her off, though, and she's just terrified that something like this will happen again." She sighed before continuing, "I felt really bad when I was with Natalie, but when I thought about my mother..." She could not continue anymore.
If she'd stayed in Natalie's apartment just a second longer, she'd probably have spilled everything out.
Matthew's heart ached a little when he saw Selina like this.
He quickly hid it. "I've sought the opinions of experts in this field, and they agree withthat psychological treatment would be better for Tobias now." Selina looked at him in confusion. "Tobias is still in a coma. How are they going to treat him psychologically?"
Matthew explained, "He might not be awake, but it doesn't mean that he's completely dead to the world. If Hè can sacrifice his life for Natalie, that shows just how important she is to him. If we can get Natalie to speak to Tobias everyday, it might help." X
