Mrs. Lockwood said cheerfully, "Why are you looking at me like that? I'm not wrong. My son has never been burned by love. You can teach him a lesson. If he offers you something, just take it. Even if you two don't end up together, you can keep everything. And if you can't take it all with you, I'll arrange for a moving van. The bottom line is, a girl should never get the short end of the stick."
Lucas and Liana applauded from the side.
"Grandma, you're so cool! You're the best, Grandma!"
Lost in his grandchildren's praise, Mrs. Lockwood started to get carried away.
"Of course I am," he said happily to Natalie. "You should get some rest here. I'll take the children now. You must be tired after looking after them all day."
Lucas and Liana didn't want to leave. They wanted to stay with Natalie.
"Grandma, we don't want to go. We just got to spend time with Natalie."
Natalie said, "I don't mind. Let them stay. I'm not tired. They've been very well-behaved."
Mrs. Lockwood insisted, "How could you not be tired? It takes a lot of energy to look after two kids. You need to rest properly. You're not their nanny. A girl shouldn't work herself to the bone, or she'll just end up suffering more in life."
Natalie's eyes flickered. A girl shouldn't work herself to the bone, or she'll just end up suffering more in life.
Mrs. Lockwood said to Lucas and Liana, "Come with Grandma. I'll play with you. Don't keep bothering your Natalie. She needs to rest too. She's not a robot; she wants to do her own things as well."
Liana nodded obediently, and Lucas said, "Natalie, we're leaving now."
Mrs. Lockwood whispered, "Let's go quickly. We don't want to be third wheels here."
Mrs. Lockwood led the two children away, beaming.
Terence was about to arrange for a lavish thank-you gift for Natalie when she called out to him.
"Mr. Lockwood, wait a moment."
"What is it?"
Terence turned to look at Natalie, surprised that she would initiate a conversation.
Judging by the injuries, they were caused by a violent external force. In other words, someone had beaten him until his legs were broken.
He was the CEO of the Lockwood Group. In this day and age, who would dare to do such a thing?
"I forgot."
Terence's casual two-word reply surprised Natalie. How could anyone forget something like that?
She said, "If it's inconvenient for you to talk about it, I won't ask. But I believe you still have a chance to walk again."
Terence replied, "It doesn't matter if I can't."
His gaze was cold, as if he truly didn't care.
"Doesn't matter? You're Terence Lockwood. You don't seem like the type to give up on yourself. Why would you feel that way?"
It was fine if he couldn't walk again. He was destined to live with regret for the rest of his life anyway. It was his failure, his inability to save her.
