That was right. Natalie had really changed a lot.
"Miss Godfrey, you were not like this in the past." Benjamin recalled what she used to be like.
Back then, Natalie was always fearless, like weeds by the roadside, yet always so vibrant.
"Back then, you always brought joy to Mr. Whitlock, but now," Benjamin stopped at the right moment.
He could not forget the livid expression on Tobias' face the previous day.
Obviously, no one knew when, but the only thing that Natalie gave Tobias was anger.
Natalie understood Benjamin's words. Her mind was in chaos.
He said that she had changed.
He said that she once brought happiness to Tobias, but what about now? Was she only bringing him countless troubles and headaches?
Or maybe, she was only a burden to him now because she was not her original self, and she had changed into a different person.
If she was still the original Natalie, would that mean that she wouldn't cause him so much trouble?
"Miss Godfrey, I have some things to deal with. I'm sorry," Benjamin told her.
Natalie nodded in a muddle-headed way.
Benjamin's words took her breath away.
After Benjamin left, she took out her phone.
She called Yvonne.
"Yvonne, do you think I've changed?" Before Yvonne could speak when she answered the phone, Natalie had asked her this question.
"So you've only noticed it now." Yvonne felt speechless.
She had long noticed the change in Natalie, but she did not expect her to be aware of it.
A flash of surprise could be seen in Natalie's tears.
Could it be that she changed so much that even Yvonne could feel it?
"Natalie, I'm telling you, stop hanging out with those friends of yours that only know how to complain, or you'll become more and more resentful. You should listen to my advice," Yvonne continued.
Natalie was shocked.
Complaining friend?
Natalie did not have any friends that were huge complainers.
"What are you talking about? Yvonne, I don't understand." There was a puzzled look on Natalie's face.
"That friend of yours that always has problems in her relationship. Weren't you always asking me for advice?"
Upon hearing that, Natalie suddenly came to a realization.
It turned out that the resentful, complaining friend that Yvonne was talking about was Natalie herself.
She was embarrassed to tell Yvonne that those were her own problems, so she always said that it was a friend of hers.
Natalie looked awkward at this moment.
"Natalie, I can't talk to you anymore. I have a customer right now." Yvonne hung up the phone in a hurry. She was still working at that boutique.
"Complainer?" Natalie murmured softly.
Did she really become such a person?
Natalie went to the stairs of the hospital. There was a floor-to-ceiling mirror there.
She walked towards the mirror to stare at it so that she could have a good look at herself.
The mirror showed a woman who was young, but she did not look energetic at all. Her eyes and brows were drooping, and it made her look like she had lost all her spirits.
She trembled as she stared at it.
Her reflection in the mirror was indeed as Yvonne had described her. She was indeed a complainer, a whiner.
She looked like a woman whose face was full of grief.
When did she become someone like this?
Back then, whenever she looked at herself in the mirror, she would see herself as a young, lovely woman who was full of vitality.
A nurse just so happened to walk up the stairs.
Natalie stopped her when she saw the nurse.
The nurse looked at her in a confused manner.
Natalie pointed at her own face and said, "Do you think I am a whiner?"
