My Heart only Beats for You (Natalie Godfrey) novel Chapter 99

Tobias was about to start a meeting where all the directors were already present. Just when he was about to put his phone on silent and start the meeting, he received a phone call from Aunt Lee.

"What's the matter?" Tobias' voice was faint.

"Mr. Whitlock. Miss Godfrey seems to have encountered an accident. Her face is bruised. It looks like she was beaten by someone. I asked her what had happened, but she refused to say anything." Aunt Lee sounded so anxious. She sounded like she was on the verge of tears.

Tobias' breathing paused momentarily, and after a while, his eyebrows furrowed slightly.

"I'm coming back home now." Tobias hung up.

"Our meeting today will be suspended for now. We will postpone it to a later date." After saying that, Tobias immediately left the group of directors who were exchanging glances amongst themselves and stormed out of the conference room.

A Bugatti Veyron reached the Whitlock Family's apartment not long after. Tobias got out of the car and hurried upstairs.

When he saw Natalie, Tobias' eyes narrowed slightly, and then a flame was ignited within him.

Natalie was half lying on the sofa, and she seemed to be staring at the crystal lamp on the ceiling with her eyes wide open. She looked absent-minded. Her clothes were tattered and were covered with dust and weeds, and there were faint bloodstains on her face.

"Natalie." Tobias walked over.

His tone was low and hoarse.

When she saw a tall and handsome man appear in front of her out of the blue, Natalie jumped up in shock.

She gaped at Tobias as she stammered, "You, why did you come back so suddenly?"

It was still early. Why did this man come back so suddenly?

Tobias did not answer Natalie's question. He stared at Natalie with his deep black eyes and asked, "What happened to your body and face?"

Natalie's eyes lit up for one moment, but then she smiled dryly and replied, "It's nothing serious. I just fell a while ago."

Tobias's eyes were focused on Natalie's face. "The bloodstains on your face tells me that you were beaten by someone. Are you going to continue claiming that you fell?"

Natalie's smile looked even more reluctant. "I'm telling the truth. It's just a fall."

"Let's go to the hospital now." Tobias didn't want to continue this useless conversation with Natalie anymore. Since Natalie was badly injured, she must be sent to the hospital immediately.

"The hospital? There's no need for that. I'll recover on my own. I don't need to go to the hospital," Natalie protested. This was not her first time getting beaten up like this. Every time, she would recover without any complications.

She was full of vitality like a stubborn weed. Some minor injury like this wouldn't defeat her just yet.

"Listen to me." Tobias cast a deep look at Natalie.

His tone was commanding, but there was a hint of imperceptible tenderness mixed in his voice.

Natalie's heart suddenly jumped.

When this man insisted that she listened to him, she realized that she could refuse him no more.

Natalie was about to stand up when she suddenly felt a piercing pain throbbing across her body. It would be difficult for her to stand up properly.

Tobias frowned slightly, and after a while, he abruptly swept Natalie off her feet, carrying her in his arms.

Natalie was terrified when she was suspended off the ground all of a sudden. She hung her arms around Tobias' neck subconsciously.

"Put, put me down. I can walk by myself." Seeing that Tobias was carrying her out of the apartment and taking the stairs, Natalie protested in embarrassment.

"Do you think you can walk in this state?" Tobias glanced sideways at Natalie.

"I can! I can even run!" Natalie stubbornly replied.

"Let me carry you. At this time, as your husband, I am obligated to carry you." Tobias answered lightly.

Natalie's face turned red because of Tobias's words.

He had mentioned the word "husband".
