A sharp pain shot up her arm and she realized she was not hallucinating.
Natalie did not want to face them and immediately turned around, deciding to queue up after they were gone. To her surprise, Avery suddenly turned around to talk to Elliot and spotted Natalie from the corner of her eyes.
Elliot noticed that Avery was staring at someone and turned his head in the same direction.
When he saw Natalie, her face felt unfamiliar to him.
Natalie had thought that the two would come over to confront her, but they simply stared at her. Neither one of them did anything, and Avery only glared at her. Natalie ignored Avery's glare. She had Dean to protect her, so she had nothing to fear. After a few moments of hesitation, she strode toward them.
Avery immediately grabbed Elliot's hand tightly when she saw Natalie approaching.
Natalie was soon before them, and she stopped before Avery's bodyguard could stop her from going forward.
"What a coincidence to run into you two in a hospital." Natalie studied Elliot's face and said, "It's been a while, Elliot I heard that you were revived by Angela Hills. How lucky you are to escape death. You look just like a real person. Technology really has come a long way."
Avery studied the wound on Natalie's forehead and said coldly and sarcastically," Natalie, I have not forgotten what you did to me and Elliot. You should remember that karma always comes for those who deserve it."
"You don't have to remind me, because this is only going to tell me how helpless you are. It's not very wise to expose your weakness to the enemy." Natalie was relieved that Avery could not do anything to her at the moment.
"What did she do to us?" Elliot was not aware of the situation.
Before Avery could respond, Natalie beat her to it and said, "You two were locked inside a basement in Ylore, and Avery accused me of being the culprit. Elliot, do you really think I'm capable of that? I won't get Sterling Group even if I kill you. Even with you dead, I will still have to fulfill my end of the contract... so why exactly would I try to kill you?"
"How dare you try to talk your way out of this?!" Avery didn't expect Natalie to be this shameless. "You think that Elliot isn't the same man any longer, so you figured that he would listen to you? Save it! He is still the man he was!"
