Remington looked at Natalie mockingly.
The sarcasm in his eyes scared her.
Natalie bit her lips even harder, on the verge of drawing blood.
"Remington, I'm telling you, no matter what you do, even if you drug Tobias and refuse to give him the antidote, I will not leave Tobias. I will never be separated from Tobias for the rest of my life. I will forever belong to Tobias!"
Natalie's words made Remington's face stiffen slightly.
There was a hint of sorrow in his eyes. "Natalie, why are you so infatuated? Do you love him that much?"
"Yes!" Natalie's voice grew stronger. "I love him. My love for him is bone-deep. He's my life and my blood. He feels the same towards me. No matter what, we will never be separated."
The sadness in Remington's eyes became more intense, and it eventually merged with his determination. "Fine, Natalie. I love you too. Since you're so infatuated, I'll let the three of us suffer together."
"Remington, what's the point?" Natalie could not help but shout.
"What's the point?" The corner of Remington's lips curled into a mocking smile.
Moments later, he suddenly approached Natalie step by step.
Natalie felt a burst of sudden fear, and her steps seemed frozen, making her unable to move.
She knew that there were bodyguards secretly protecting her, and Tobias would never put her in danger. However, when she saw Remington coming close to her, she was still afraid.
She could not remember when Remington, a friend who had brought her happiness and laughter, had turned into a man that she feared.
He stopped when he got in front of Natalie.
He looked her up and down, his eyes suddenly covered with a layer of hazy light, and said in a low voice, "Natalie, I like you, I really like you. Do you know how much I like you?"
His misty gaze met Natalie's eyes head on.
Natalie's teeth were shivering.
Remington continued, "Natalie, I had many women before I met you because I didn't believe in love. My father's betrayal towards my mother discouraged me. I thought I would be fooling around for the rest of my life, and also thought that women were only playthings for men in bed, until I met you."
Speaking up to that point, a layer of madness formed in Remington's eyes. "Natalie, you are different. You are different from all the other women. You don't even know how much I love you and how much I want you to be mine."
Natalie's teeth chattered, and her body was trembling.
All of a sudden, her crippling fear reached its peak, terrified by the insanity in Remington's eyes.
She suddenly realized that she had been too optimistic.
It was impossible to persuade him.
Remington didn't intend to give them the antidote at all.
Jack arrived in the town, but he couldn't get through to Natalie's phone at all.
There was no other way, so Jack called Tobias.
Fortunately, he had Tobias' phone number.
On the phone, Jack directly said, "Tobias, I've already told Natalie that I would come. Natalie is like a sister to me, so I must come to help her
when she's in trouble."
Tobias stayed silent for a moment and then told Jack the address.
