My Heart only Beats for You (Natalie Godfrey) novel Chapter 580

"You can do it yourself," Tobias replied coolly.

"But Natalie can do it herself too," Hayden pulled a face at him.

Tobias ignored him and continued to pile food on her plate.

Hayden pouted and crossed his little arms in front of his chest.

Upon seeing his response, Natalie quickly scooped a few meatballs and placed them on his plate.

Only then did Hayden stop complaining. He quickly grinned triumphantly at Tobias.

Then, he blinked at Natalie and complained, "Natalie, you've been so kind to me. My Daddy must be fake! He's not a real Daddy. He cannot compare to you."

Hayden had an excellent appetite that evening, and they spent longer than usual time finishing their dinner.

When they were happily enjoying their dinner, a waiter walked past their table with a jug of hot water.

However, the waiter did not notice that the floor was slippery. He accidentally stepped on the puddle, slipped and fell on his back. He lost his grip on the jug as it flew from his hands straight up in the air.

It was like the slow-motion sequence one would see in movie scenes. The jug tipped in mid-air, the boiling hot content hurling towards Natalie.

Natalie did not have time to respond at all. Her eyes widened in horror as she watched the jug flying towards her.

Tobias was quick to react. He immediately threw himself in front of Natalie and shielded her with his body.

Consequently, the jug hit Tobias smack in the back, and some of the hot water spilled onto him.

"Oh my god, are you all right?" Natalie's face turned pale with shock.

"I'm alright," Tobias winced.

The waiter was frightened. He hurriedly went up to check on him and apologized profusely.

"Get lost," Tobias growled at the clumsy waiter.

The waiter was terrified by Tobias's fierce glare. He quickly cleaned up the mess and scampered back to the kitchen.

Hayden was frightened too. His face was as pale as a sheet as he gasped, "Daddy, are you okay?

We have to go to the hospital and let the doctor check on you!"

Due to Natalie and Hayden's relentless persuasion, Tobias finally agreed to go to a hospital nearby.

A female nurse entered Tobias's ward and immediately blushed when she saw him. She then instructed him to take off his shirt to treat his wound.

Her face turned a deeper shade of red as he removed his shirt, her hands visibly trembling.

Tobias was annoyed by the nurse's response.

"Please get me a male nurse instead," He muttered.

With a sulky face, the nurse turned to leave.

"Daddy is afraid that you will get jealous, Natalie," Hayden whispered to Natalie, "That's why he won't let other women see his bare body."

Natalie pursed her lips, feeling quite baffled.

Later, a male doctor came into the ward.

He carefully examined the burns on Tobias' back.

Fortunately, the burns were not too severe. Tobias only suffered a few first-degree burns.

While the doctor was treating Tobias' back,

Hayden tugged on Natalie's arm and pulled her aside.

"Daddy is really nice to you, Natalie. He immediately hugged you when he saw that you were in danger. He saved you like a hero, just like in the movies! It was so cool my heart kept racing!" Hayden gushed.

Natalie had mixed emotions surging inside her.

"Yeah," She replied faintly.

She recalled when she had witnessed the jug flying towards her earlier. If it hadn't been for Tobias, she would have been the one who got hurt.

Hayden playfully swung her arm around and rambled, "Look at how nice Daddy is to you, Natalie. Please be my stepmother and be together with my dad."

Hesitation flashed through Natalie's eyes.

She was not thinking about getting back with Tobias. Instead, she was considering whether she should tell Hayden that she was indeed his real mother.

In the end, she stopped herself from telling him the truth.

Hayden was still too young. If she told him now, he probably wouldn't understand. Hence, she might as well wait until he was older before telling him.

Meanwhile, the doctor had finally finished treating Tobias' wounds.

The sky was completely dark by the time they left the hospital.

In the meantime, Natalie told Tobias that Hayden would sleep at her place that night.
