Tobias held his breath.
After a moment, he said bitterly, "Simon, my mother tried to commit suicide. She's still in the ICU."
Simon, who was on the other end of the line, widened his eyes in shock.
He had a gut feeling that this had something to do with Natalie.
"Tobias, could it be the DNA test results?" Simon asked in disbelief.
After all, Natalie and Cecilia didn't look alike.
"Simon, we haven't gotten the test done. When I decided to explain everything to my mother, she drugged Natalie and me, and we lost our memories," Tobias paused and said in a bitter tone, "She then took the drug and killed herself."
Simon immediately understood.
Cecilia must have been mentally unstable. In the long torment and pain, she was mentally unstable and did such a foolish thing.
"Tobias, are you safe because of the medication I gave you previously?"
"Yes."
Simon was silent for a moment.
"Then what about the DNA test? Are you planning on moving forward with it?"
Tobias's fingers were a little pale as he held the phone. "Natalie lost her memory. The doctor advised her to go back to Glevania. I've sent her back."
"What you're trying to say is that you're not running the DNA test?"
"Simon, I have a strand of Natalie's hair, but..." Tobias paused. "My mother is in danger now. The doctors had alerted her critical situation several times..."
His attention was completely on Cecilia.
Simon took a deep breath and said, "Tobias, I think you should run the DNA test. Your mother committed suicide because of Miss Godfrey. If you can prove that your mother is not Miss Godfrey's mother, wouldn't that be a form of comfort to her?"
A hint of hesitation flashed across Tobias's eyes.
Of course, he knew it.
It would be the best consolation for Cecilia if Cecilia was not Natalie's mother based on the results.
But if they were related...
Now, he couldn't hold back any longer because of Cecilia. He was ready to face the fact, but what Simon said gave him a glimmer of hope. If the final hope was shattered, he was afraid he would be crushed.
For a moment, both Tobias and Simon were silent.
They could only hear each other's breathing on the phone.
Simon was silent, waiting for Tobias's reply.
He knew that in this situation, it was difficult for Tobias to make a choice.
He could only advise Tobias. He would support Tobias no matter what he chose to do.
After a long time, Tobias finally spoke, 'Tm going to retrieve my mother's hair and send it to the appraisal today."
Things couldn't get any worse than this, so there was no point in being afraid anymore.
It was just as what he thought it would be. Even if the chances were slim, he was going to try.
Simon let out a sigh of relief.
After hanging up the phone, he put his hands together.
He was Tobias's best friend. During this period of time, he could feel the pain and pressure Tobias was experiencing.
He could only hope for favourable results.
Tobias and Natalie shouldn't be blood-related.
He hoped they could finally get together.
On the plane to Agaphen City, Remington doted on Natalie.
He tried several times to let Natalie rest in his arms, but Benjamin sternly stopped him.
Before leaving, Tobias reminded him that he needed to protect Natalie.
This included to stop Natalie from getting too close with another man.
"Mr. Remington, you can't do this," Benjamin said seriously.
Remington raised his eyebrows and said, "You're taking this too seriously. Are you thinking that I'm going to do something to Natalie while she's asleep?"
Benjamin was speechless.
"Do you know how Natalie is entering into the United States?" Remington asked.
"I don't know, Mr. Remington," Benjamin replied.
"She is my fiancee," Remington said, raising his voice.
