Yvonne couldn't help but glare at Sebastian. "Sebastian, now that you're in the entertainment industry, there are plenty of beautiful women. Do not get involved with Natalie. She and Tobias have been involved since university, you should not meddle in their affairs."
Sebastian lowered his head.
He spoke in a somewhat bitter tone, "Yvonne, I thought that Natalie broke up with him. Since she was single, I had every right to pursue her. You know how I feel for her, even after all these years."
Yvonne sighed deeply.
She wanted to say something to Sebastian, but when she saw his expression, she did not know what she could say.
Perhaps she could not bear saying anything to him.
That night, Natalie's mood seemed to have improved greatly.
At the very least, she wasn't so cold towards Yvonne and Sebastian anymore.
She managed to chat with the both of them, and even managed to smile perfunctorily when Yvonne joked with her.
Cecelia stood outside the ward. When she saw this, she breathed a sigh of relief.
Yvonne noticed that someone was looking at her, and saw that it was Cecelia.
When Cecelia was not by the door, Yvonne told Natalie, "Natalie, is the woman outside the door the one who picked up my call?"
Natalie guessed that Yvonne was referring to Cecilia. She nodded.
Yvonne looked amazed. "She's very beautiful. Even though I'm in the entertainment industry, I have never met anyone as beautiful as her."
Natalie forced a smile.
Cecilia's beauty was beyond doubt, which was why she had such a good-looking son, Tobias.
"Wait!" Yvonne suddenly patted her own head and said, "Why do I seem to have seen her before?"
After thinking for a long time, Yvonne finally recalled.
She had seen Cecilia in a magazine.
It featured ten of the most beautiful women in the world, and one of them was Cecilia.
That was when she was still in university.
Yvonne had even shown the magazine to Natalie.
"Natalie, she is Mr. Whitlock's mother, isn't she?" Yvonne was suddenly excited. "No wonder she is so beautiful. Like mother, like son."
Natalie hummed dejectedly.
Sebastian's face turned pale.
Yvonne immediately reined in her emotions.
She should not have mentioned Tobias. She decided to quickly change the topic.
She had initially wanted to ask Natalie about what happened with Tobias, but since Sebastian was there, it was not appropriate to do so.
The three of them continued chatting until 9 o'clock at night.
Natalie kept urging Sebastian and Yvonne to go back.
Yvonne insisted on accompanying Natalie in the ward, but Natalie rejected her.
"I'm fine now, and there are so many doctors and nurses here. Yvonne, you and Sebastian are very busy. I'm glad that you've spent so much time with me today. If you don't leave, you will make me unhappy," Natalie said.
Sebastian said to Yvonne, "Yvonne, let's go. Let Natalie have a good rest."
Yvonne bid farewell to Natalie reluctantly.
Before she left, she whispered in Natalie's ear, "Natalie, no matter what has happened, you still have your best friend here. Don't be afraid. If you have something on your mind that you can't tell Sebastian, call me after we leave."
Her words were full of sincerity.
Natalie felt better upon hearing that.
She nodded at Yvonne, grateful for her support.
It was not long after Yvonne and Sebastian left that Remington arrived at the hospital.
Outside the ward, he saw Cecilia.
He halted in his steps.
"Madam." His tone was polite but distant.
Cecilia stood up and nodded at him. "Why are you here?"
His tone was still distant. "I'm here to visit Natalie."
Cecilia did not know how he knew that Natalie was in the hospital, but she did not ask any further.
