My Heart only Beats for You (Natalie Godfrey) novel Chapter 757

Jessie's gaze wavered. Her smile seemed forced. "Young lady, is your background very important to you?"

Natalie nodded solemnly, saying, "I want to know who my parents are and where I came from. Auntie, do you know about it?"

The hesitation in Jessie's eyes grew deeper.

After a while, she looked at Natalie and said, "Young lady, if your parents aren't alive anymore, would you still want to know about your background?"

Natalie stiffened.

She looked at Jessie in astonishment.

Her parents weren't alive anymore.

Natalie's head buzzed. Her body wobbled.

Tobias strode towards her and held her in his arms. "Natalie, I'm here."

His words were firm and reassuring.

They slowly gave strength to Natalie's limp body.

No matter what, she still had Tobias.

Natalie bit the tip of her tongue.

She looked at Jessie and said clearly, "Auntie, regardless of whether my parents are still alive or not, I want to know about my birth and background; I want to know where I came from and who I really am. Everyone has a place from when they came, and my purpose for coming here is to figure that out."

Jessie had a complicated gaze.

After a while, she let out a long sigh.

"Young lady, I used to work for the government. Back then, I was assigned a task, to send a newborn baby girl to an orphanage. This baby girl had only just been born from her mother's womb, but before she could even get a sip of milk, her mother shot herself in the mouth."

Natalie widened her eyes.

She looked at Jessie and said, "Auntie, what do you mean she shot herself in the mouth?

She then turned to Tobias. "Tobias, what does that mean?"

A shadow flickered in Tobias' dark eyes.

He suddenly had a very strong hunch that Natalie's background wasn't as simple as he had thought.

He had originally assumed that Natalie was just a girl born in an ordinary family, abandoned by her parents for various reasons.

However, Jessie had mentioned that Natalie's mother had shot herself in the mouth, which means that Natalie's background definitely wasn't that simple.

Tobias felt a sudden sense of regret.

He had been too confident that Natalie's background would be very plain.

If he had known earlier, he would never have brought Natalie to Jessie.

He wouldn't have let Natalie find out that her mother committed suicide by taking a shot to the mouth. How heavy of a blow would this be to Natalie?

Jessie's tone became even more serious. "Young lady, your mother immediately committed suicide after giving birth to you, that's why I sent you to an orphanage."

Natalie was reeling in shock.

She couldn't control herself and became agitated. "Why did she commit suicide? Why did she kill herself after giving birth to me?"

Jessie lowered her voice, saying, "Young lady, this is something on an international scale. I..."

"I want to know, no matter what! This is about my birth mother, I must know!" Natalie yelled.

Jessie averted her gaze. "Your father was a special agent. He accepted a task to assassinate one of the leaders of the United States. Before he could act, his plan was discovered by a high-ranking army officer. He shot your father dead on the spot, and your mother couldn't handle the shock after she heard the news. That's why she committed suicide with a shot to the mouth after giving birth to you."

Natalie felt light-headed.

Tobias held Natalie tightly in his arms. His dark eyes were swirling with all sorts of complex emotions.

How could her background be like this?

Tobias' embrace was very warm, but it couldn't warm up Natalie's heart right now.
