Yeason fell silent and didn't say anything more after that.
Natalie nodded, her expression a little pained. "Alright."
Then, she followed Yeason into the hospital as he led the way.
Remington was still lying unconscious in the emergency room.
Fortunately, he was quick to respond when the attack happened. Since his friends brought guns, he was not killed on the spot, and was even lucky enough to salvage his bitten arm.
However, he suffered a bad case of infection from the wound, and his life was at stake.
Natalie stared at the bedridden Remington through the glass, her eyes glistening with tears.
Next to her, Yeason explained, "Miss Godfrey, I'm now in charge of his company's affairs, and the hospital staff also take good care of him. Since you won't be able to talk to him anytime soon, how about-"
"I will wait here until he wakes up," she cut him off.
Yeason nodded.
"Thank you for bringing me here. You should get back to work. I will do just fine here alone," she added.
With Natalie's assurance, Yeason went to the doctor and inquired about Remington's condition before he left the hospital.
Natalie stood outside the emergency room alone, her mind a tangled mess.
She never imagined such a terrible thing would happen to Remington.
If she had known, she would have definitely mustered everything in her to persuade him not to go.
She had hated him for what he had done to her when they were in the car previously.
But no matter how much she hated him for that, she would never wish anything bad on him.
She stood there for a few hours, staring at Remington's motionless body until her legs finally couldn't stand it anymore. Kneading her aching shoulders, she sat down on the bench nearby.
Natalie buried her face in her hands.
They must have been a couple in the past.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have risked his life to do such a thing for her.
She bit her lips so hard that it drew blood.
Suddenly, another man's face appeared in her mind.
Natalie huffed, digging her fingers deep into the flesh of her palm to come to her senses.
She hated herself for thinking about another man when Remington's life was in danger.
Sucking in a deep breath, she forced herself to stop thinking about that man.
A piece of her heart seemed to have fallen out, now gone forever.
Her relationship with Tobias had come to an end.
It ended as soon as it began.
Tobias did not see Natalie anywhere when he returned to the villa.
Selina told him about her earlier exchange with Natalie.
"Natalie said that she would not be home tonight. I thought she was going to spend some time with you?"
Tobias furrowed his brows.
Could it be that Natalie was having a night out with her friends?
After all, ever since she moved into the villa, she had spent most of her time with him and Hayden.
After pulling out his phone, Tobias hesitated. In the end, he decided not to call her.
He would not want to bother her when she was having fun with her friends. Natalie deserved to some some time away from him. He decided to wait for her to come home instead.
When the clock struck eleven, Tobias couldn't bear to wait any longer.
Even if she was out with her friends, it was getting a little late.
He dialed her number, but it went straight to her mailbox.
His brows knitted in worry as his heart skipped a beat.
Inexplicably, he had a bad feeling about this.
A second later, he persuaded himself that he was overthinking.
The two of them were on such good terms now. Besides, she also proved that she trusted him the night before. Things should be alright.
Instead, he asked Benjamin for Yvonne's number.
Yvonne was Natalie's best friend.
If she were to stay out until this late, she was probably with Yvonne.
Yvonne did not expect to receive a call from Tobias.
Even though she had her share of socializing in the entertainment industry, his sudden call made her nervous, and she was at a loss for what to say.
After all, Tobias Whitlock was hailed Prince Charming in her university days.
It was as if she had instantly traveled back in time.
