Chapter 1123 Finally Back
Jerome’s expression remained firm. “I’ve presented Zophie’s testimony to you already, Prince Jonathan. Natalie’s just a victim. She shouldn’t be dragged into this time and again.”
“I heard you’re childhood friends with Natalie, Major General Sutton,” Bastien uttered meaningfully. “That’s right,” Jerome admitted directly. “However, I’m very aware of the scope of my duties. I won’t do anything that’ll break the law. If there’s nothing else, I shall take my leave now.”
“Mhm.” Bastien watched Jerome vanish from his sight before he removed the box with the jade key inside from a secret compartment in his room.
The item inside the box sparkled, tempting him to touch the surface. The smooth sensation of the key made him feel as if he was touching the fair skin of a young maiden. With the jade key in my possession, I only need to solve the mystery of the ancient tomb. Then, I’ll be the next king. When that happens, Loang and Natalie will be mine.
After recuperating in the Sutton residence for a while, Natalie was more or less fully recovered. Only then did she return to her home.
Emma smiled gleefully when she saw her. “You’re finally back, Ms. Nichols!”
Upon seeing the tears shimmering in Emma’s eyes, she patted the older woman’s shoulder. “Thank you for taking care of the house during my absence, Emma!” “Oh, it’s nothing.” Emma shook her head.
Natalie had barely exchanged a few words with Emma when the children rushed down the stairs from the second floor and sprinted toward her. “Mommy!”
“Mommy…”
Due to the fact that she had to rescue Yumi and then recuperate afterward, it had been a long time since she saw her children. She missed them so much that she teared up.
