My Heart only Beats for You (Natalie Godfrey) novel Chapter 552

In the ferocious, gushing river, Remington spotted a crocodile so huge his heart almost leaped out of his mouth.

The crocodile's savage stare was enough to scare the life out of him.

He could have fled and escaped, but at that moment, he suddenly fell into a trance.

At the very second he got distracted, the crocodile seized the opportunity to pounce, attacking him.

It opened its bloody mouth as it lunged at Remington, so close he could see the remnants of its previous prey stuck between its dagger teeth clearly.

Even though his reaction was quick, the crocodile still got him, sinking its fang deep inside his flesh.

If it weren't for his friend who killed the crocodile with a gun, he might have already died on the spot.

Blood spurted out from the wound as he laid on the ground, groaning helplessly. At that moment, the agonizing pain electrocuted his entire body when something suddenly became clear in his mind.

Everything seemed to click into place in that instant.

Remington squinted as a ray of bright light shone directly into his eyes.

His eyelids slowly fluttered open.

The first person he saw was Natalie.

She was staring at him anxiously, her eyes filled with concern.

Natalie was stunned for a while when she saw Remington wake up at long last from his deep sleep.

She didn't know whether she should laugh or cry.

"You're awake, Remington! Thank God, you've finally woken up." Natalie cried out.

She was smiling, but tears were streaming down her cheeks uncontrollably.

Earlier on, the doctor had told her that Remington might regain consciousness soon.

She had been waiting for him in the ward ever since.

Although she was already mentally prepared, she still couldn't stop herself from being emotional when she saw Remington open his eyes.

From the moment she arrived at the hospital, she had been waiting for him to wake up, and more than once feared she might never get to see him again. Now, there he was, alive and conscious.

"Please stop crying. Your tears are dripping onto my wound," he joked feebly, and his eyes curved into half-moons.

Remington's voice was still hoarse, probably because he had just awoken from weeks of coma.

Natalie quickly wiped away her tears and sniffed. "Okay, okay. I'll stop crying."

"Why are you here?" He suddenly asked.

Natalie held her breath.

Then, she forced a smile. "Your friend, Yeason, told me about you."

He blinked, then stared at her with mixed feelings, the look in his eyes unfathomable.

Remington did not ask her any more questions. Instead, he made some small talks with her as if trying to ease the tension.

Since he had just regained consciousness, it was obvious that the few minutes of conversation had already tired him greatly.

Noticing his exhaustion, Natalie decided to leave the ward and let him get proper rest.

When she got out of Remington's ward, she told Benjamin the good news.

Benjamin beamed, and he immediately let out a sigh of relief as well.

He thought that Natalie would finally leave the hospital by now.

However, she still refused to leave with him.

Natalie wanted to stay in the hospital to take care of Remington.

Benjamin pursed his lips at her stubbornness, an inexplicable feeling stirring in him.

No wonder Tobias was so aggravated.

Natalie was being too kind to Remington. Excessively kind, even.

As far as partners go, Tobias had been extremely considerate to allow her to act like this.

"Miss Godfrey, you should also think about how Mr. Whitlock feels," Benjamin couldn't help defending his boss.

Natalie's breathing hitched.

After a moment, she shook her head and smiled bitterly. "Whatever, I don't want to think about it. I'll get a headache if I think too much."

She had promptly avoided his question.

Exasperated, Benjamin didn't know what to say anymore.

Since Natalie was determined to stay, he could only wait at the hospital with her.

That night, Natalie fed Remington dinner herself. Benjamin paced back and forth outside the ward. From an outsider's point of view, he suddenly thought that the two were acting too intimately with each other.
