Chapter 28 He Bailed Out the Perpetrators
After breakfast, Natalie called Bianca, who was still in bed but instantly woke up upon hearing that her friend had returned from abroad.
“You’re back?” Blanca asked.
“Yeah, I’ll come over right away,” Natalie replied.
“Great, I’ve taken the morning off. Come on over.”
“Okay.”
Natalie hung up. She soon left the villa, taking nothing but Ginger with her. She had no desire for anything from this place that used to belong to her. She was even still wearing the same clothes from when she
had returned yesterday.
Scarlet Villa was located in an affluent area where it was nearly impossible to get a taxi. Because of the seclusion, Natalie had to walk a considerable distance. She ended up waiting for almost half an hour
without seeing a car.
Then, a car sped towards her and came to a screeching halt beside her. It was so fast that Natalie instinctively took a step back. Just as she was about to shout at the driver, she saw Cedric’s cold and sharp profile through the partially open car window. His gaze was fierce.
“Get in,” he ordered in a commanding tone.
Natalie was about to refuse when the man said, “Natalie, you know I’m not a patient person. I didn’t take it out on the people around you earlier because I still cherish our ten–year relationship.”
Natalie could hear the threat in his tone.
“What do you want?” she asked.
Cedric gazed at the displeased young woman, and the ten years between them made him not want to force her in this way. But he did it because she had driven him to the brink of madness.
Natalie eventually got into the car. “Where are we going?”
Cedric glanced at her, his anger growing when he noticed the pig in her arms.
To the hospital!” he said.
As soon as she heard the word “hospital,” Natalie knew what he intended to do. She also knew that even after being away for three months, everything was still the same, just as it had been in her previous life.
The events from her past life hadn’t changed with the passage of time.
Natalie looked at him, knowing what she would hear, but still asked, “What for?”
“Isabella knows about your dealings with the kidnappers.”
“So what?” Natalie retorted.
“She’s not asking for much, just an apology. It’s not too much to ask.”
Not too much… in Cedric’s opinion.
Natalie chuckled as she looked at the man next to her, as though she were looking at a fool.
“Do you think she’d be that generous? What does a pair of legs and a pair of eyes mean to someone? How can forgiveness be so easily granted?”
Cedric looked at her with disappointment in his eyes. “You should be grateful she only wants an apology.”
“Did she tell you what she’d do if I didn’t apologize?” Natalie laughed at Cedric.
Was this man a fool? Why had she ever fallen for this pig? He was even dumber than Ginger.
Cedric turned his head to the side and remained silent.
Natalie knew that when Isabella made this demand, her attitude was also firm. She was certain that
Natalie wouldn’t apologize to her.
They arrived at the hospital, which was located in the bustling city center with people coming and going. After getting out of the car, Natalie paid no attention to Cedric and headed straight for the hospital. To
Cedric, her attitude seemed like she had no remorse.
In a few quick strides, Cedric reached Natalie and grabbed her right arm. The pain made her furrow her
brows, and when she looked into Cedric’s eyes, there was a hint of coldness.
This coldness was different from the previous one!
Cedric’s hand wrapped around her slender waist. Then, he softened slightly and tried to coax her, “Be
good. Now is not the time to be stubborn.”
Natalie chuckled. “Are you afraid I’ll go to jail because of this?”
He hadn’t handed over the evidence to the police, which was expected. Despite the threat, their ten–year relationship meant Cedric wouldn’t actually do it.
However, Isabella, although not explicitly stated, had already shown that she might go through with it Hel words had shaken Cedric’s confidence a bit, and he seemed somewhat flustered.
“Don’t worry, it won’t happen.”
“But I have to apologize to her, right?”
Back then, she found Scarlet Villa repulsive no matter where she went, as if the air there was polluted.
