Selina could not hold it back anymore. "Hayden, don't talk nonsense. Maybe your father isn't dead, maybe he's still alive. Your father didn't die in that explosion."
She was not just humoring Hayden, because she had always firmly believed that Tobias was not dead.
"You're lying!" Hayden yelled, his tone laced with sobs.
"If Daddy isn't dead, why didn't he call me? Tell him to call me if he's not dead, please? Call me now, I really miss Daddy. I want to hear his voice, I miss Daddy..."
"Why isn't Daddy saying anything when I don't drink milk in the morning? Why isn't he telling me to drink milk so I can grow as tall as him?"
"Where is Daddy? Ask him to come to see me."
His wails broke their hearts.
Cecilia had already begun to cry long ago.
Natalie's face was deathly pale. She wavered, and she couldn't take it anymore. She collapsed to the ground.
It was Selina who sent Natalie back to her apartment.
After Natalie fainted, she got the Whitlock family's private doctor to come and take a look at her. The doctor said that she was fine, and that she'd wake up once her shock had faded.
Just then, Natalie's cell phone rang. It was Yvonne calling. Selina picked up the phone.
With the current situation, it wasn't a good idea for Natalie to rest at the Whitlock family villa. Hence, Selina sent Natalie back to her apartment, since Yvonne was there and could take care of her.
This was the first time that Yvonne and Selina had met.
However, due to their compatible personalities, they could get along.
But at this time, no one was in the mood to say much.
After asking about Natalie's general condition, Selina was ready to leave.
When Selina had walked to the door, Yvonne suddenly seemed to think of something and called out to her.
She felt a little embarrassed and grateful. "Miss Whitlock, thank you." "What are you thanking me for?" Selina's face was full of confusion.
Yvonne's tone was very serious, without the slightest hint of humor. "Miss Whitlock, thank you very much. Something like this happened to Tobias, but even as his little sister, you can still treat Natalie well. I really have to thank you."
Selina's breathing paused.
A moment later, she smiled. "There's nothing to thank me for. I'm not as noble as you say. I'm doing this for my brother. I just hope that when my brother comes back, Natalie will be fine and the three of them can be together happily. After all, this situation is an accident."
Yvonne's train of thought stopped.
She stammered, "Will... Will Tobias come back?"
Wasn't Tobias already dead? He had already been blasted to death, with his corpse nowhere to be seen. How was it possible for him to return?
A trace of confusion appeared in Selina's eyes.
"You think that my brother is dead too, don't you?" She looked at Yvonne.
Yvonne felt very awkward.
This was not just what she thought, wasn't this something that had already been confirmed?
She did not know how to answer this.
Selina smiled with self-mockery. "It seems that
Natalie and I are the most compatible. We both believe that my brother is still alive."
After hearing Selina say this, Yvonne had a clear idea.
It seemed that Selina and Natalie were the same, unable to accept the fact that Tobias was dead, so they had chosen to deceive themselves.
Yvonne had an embarrassed and somewhat helpless look on her face.
Selina saw through what Yvonne was thinking.
