Sniffling, Natalie said, "Tobias, isn't it obvious to you? Matthew misses Selina. He had not forgotten her. Even at a time like this, he's calling her name."
A look of sorrow flashed across Tobias's eyes. "So what? Even if Matthew misses Selina, he can't save her. She's already on her way to meet her death."
"At least Matthew would stay this way if he learns the truth!" Natalie could not help shouting.
The incident had been investigated by Tobias.
Matthew canceled the meeting out of the blue. No one knew how he ended up there. However, the witnesses there said that he was walking around like a zombie.
Of course, Natalie knew the reason.
Matthew had always been a well- organized person. Something great must have happened for him to turn out this way.
She had experienced it before, so she understood.
Natalie stared into Tobias's eyes. "Tobias, Matthew must have been thinking about Selina, and he must be suffering so much pain. Otherwise, he wouldn't have gotten himself into this accident." "Will telling the truth relieve his pain?" Tobias asked.
"At least he won't be as miserable as now," Natalie said.
"That's true. Maybe it will lessen." Tobias said in a soft voice, "But Natalie, the true pain will come to him when Selina leaves for real. And that pain will follow him for life."
"Well, does it help any better by hiding it from him?" Natalie raised her voice.
In fact, she had thought it would be bad if she didn't tell Matthew the truth at the beginning. However, after listening to Tobias and Selina's words, she had to agree.
But she couldn't be resolute with her decision.
When she saw what happened to Matthew, she felt her heart waver. Right now, she felt that it was better to Matthew the truth.
After being questioned by Natalie, Tobias remained quiet.
After a long time, he said, "Natalie, please respect Selina's decision.”
In the evening, Natalie went to Selina's home.
She didn't tell him about her about what happened to Matthew. Instead, she asked her, "Selina, although you told me before, I have to ask you this again. Do you really think it's okay for you to hide it from Matthew?"
"Natalie, I have no other choice." Selina hung her head low and her tears were hidden behind her long eyelashes. "I wish for a happy future for him. I hope he'll forget me and start a new life."
"But what if it's not what you think? What if he couldn't forget you?" At that moment, Natalie sounded a bit impatient.
However, Selina smiled at her.
There was a trace of loneliness in her eyes.
Her voice was light as she said, "Natalie, no one would be hung up over a bad woman forever. I got rid of our baby, and I disregarded his love and promises. It's impossible for him not to forget about me." It was uncertain whether she was saying it to herself or Natalie.
"What if he just can't let you go?" Natalie was very persistent.
Selina took a glance at Natalie, saying, "Have you forgotten? You told me that he's starting to cheer up. He even gave up drinking and is now working as usual. These are all signs that he had chosen to forget me."
"Selina! He..." Before she could finish her words, Natalie stopped herself.
Because she thought of what Tobias had said.
At this time, if she told Selina that Mathew was badly injured, would it push Selina nearer to death?
