My Heart only Beats for You (Natalie Godfrey) novel Chapter 712

Natalie was taken aback for a moment.

After a while, she said in a low voice, "I didn't leave. I just went out to buy something."

Selina pursed her lips in frustration.

She had been so elated thinking that Natalie had come to her senses and left, but in fact, she only went to buy something.

Mixed emotions fought in her mind.

Natalie opened the bag in her hands to show Selina the red dress and cosmetics inside.

A faint smile formed on her lips, and her eyes were filled with hope. "Tobias is going to wake up tomorrow, and I want to make sure that I'm at my best when he sees me."

This had only occurred to Natalie in the afternoon.

She panicked when she accidentally saw her wrinkled clothes.

She thought that Tobias wouldn't like seeing her look so bedraggled when he woke up. That was why she'd gone out to buy these things.

Selina took a peek inside the paper bag and darted a glance at Natalie. When she saw the undisguised hope in Natalie's eyes, her mind

became abuzz.

She'd thought that Natalie had ran for her life, but... Selina's heart twisted.

Natalie was so convinced that Tobias would wake up the next day.

In fact, Natalie was the only one who believed that. Even the doctors thought it was impossible.

Selina opened her mouth, but her words didn't come out.

She wanted to persuade Natalie, but when she saw the look in Natalie's eyes, she was suddenly at a loss for words.

In the end, she chose to walk away silently instead.

Perhaps Cecilia was right. Maybe a miracle would happen the next day.

Later, she told Cecilia about Natalie returning.

"I thought Natalie left, but she'd just gone out to get clothes and cosmetics. She said that she wanted to make sure that she looked good for Tobias tomorrow." Selina clutched at her chest. "Mom, I felt terrible in that moment. I couldn't even bring myself to say anything."

Cecilia was not too surprised about Natalie's return.

She patted Selina's shoulder and said, "Selina, let's not overthink things. Everyone has their own destiny. Do you know why I allowed Natalie to stay?"

Selina was taken aback.

She recalled what Cecilia had said when she'd first told her Tobias was still alive.

Cecilia had told her not to let Natalie know that Tobias was alive and in the United States.

However, she'd pleaded with Peter to allow Natalie to stay.

Selina shook her head in confusion. "Why? You didn't want Natalie to have anything to do with Tobias, right?"

Cecilia smiled bitterly, then sighed out, "Perhaps it's their destiny. Tobias' destiny was to get mixed up with Natalie, and to almost die because of her. Since it was his destiny, then there was nothing I could do to stop it. That's why..." A trace of sorrow flashed in her eyes. "I thought that this is probably Natalie's destiny as well. There's nothing that we can do if she's unwilling to leave."

Selina's breath hitched, but she didn't say anything.

Time passed in the blink of an eye, and the night went by just like that.

Natalie woke up early the next morning.

She changed into the red dress that she'd bought the night before.
