My Love Was His Cure (Natalie and Blake) novel Chapter 6

Chapter 6

Natalie collapsed onto the bed, and the fever came back.

Her phone lit up with two messages from Felix. He was trying to explain.

"Natalie, do you like the shoes I designed for you?

"I rushed Mabel to the hospital last night because I was afraid her old condition might return. Don't overthink. I'll finish work early and come home for dinner."

Even his lies felt lazy and half-hearted.

After reading it, she just felt her love meant nothing.

Later that night, Felix suddenly went crazy and dragged her downstairs.

"You hired someone to rob Mabel and stayed here like nothing happened?" he shouted.

Natalie pointed calmly to the bandages on her head.

"I have five stitches here and got a mild concussion. Do you think I can hurt her in this state?"

Felix looked at her pale skin and the bloody gauze. His heart ached.

Mabel cried softly nearby.

"I was going to return the jewelry, but right after I stepped outside, I was attacked. They said your name while they were grabbing me. Why would they do that?"

Felix's expression darkened. He shoved Natalie on the couch.

"Mabel has always been honest and kind! What excuse do you have now?

"Since I proposed to you, I promised we'd still marry. So why do you keep going after her?

"Haven't I treated you well all these years?"

Natalie felt like her chest was splitting open.

Mabel's lies were obvious, and there was no proof at all, yet Felix still believed her.

After the car crash, Felix had been in a coma for two months. When he woke up, he changed. He became moody and unstable—sometimes crying, sometimes lashing out.

It was all because of Mabel's betrayal. But he had forgotten that.

To make Mabel jealous, Felix gave Natalie an illusion of happiness for half a year, and she foolishly stayed by his side for more than six years.

When his father nearly had him admitted to a mental hospital, she still stayed by his side, even with her head injured and covered in blood.
