Caught Him Cheating My Life Restarted (Natalie) novel Chapter 253

After receiving treatment, Hanley was out of danger, but he still felt miserable.

He clutched Natalie’s hand tightly. “Mommy, don’t leave me. Hanley feels awful.”

“If you knew you’d feel awful, why did you eat them?”

Hanley replied, “Because I knew Mommy cares about me. If I got sick, Mommy would stay with me.”

His words left a bitter taste in Natalie’s mouth.

His small hand held hers firmly. Seeing this, Darren felt a sense of relief. He knew she couldn’t leave now.

At the Lockwood estate, Old Mrs. Lockwood had instructed the staff to prepare a lavish feast.

“Great-grandma, this looks amazing today!”

“Mother, did you plan all these dishes? They look wonderful.”

“I did. But why isn’t our guest here yet?”

“She should be here soon. They’ve already returned.”

Everyone in the Lockwood family assumed Natalie was on her way. But by the time the meal was ready, she still hadn’t appeared.

Old Mrs. Lockwood frowned. “Why hasn’t she come? Send someone to get her.”

Mrs. Lockwood was also puzzled. Weren’t they all supposed to have come back together? Why was she so late?

Terence wasn’t there either. What were those two doing, skipping a meal like this?

“Mother, I’ll have a servant go get them again.”

Just then, Terence arrived.

Mrs. Lockwood rushed over. “Terence, why are you alone? Where’s Natalie?”

“She’s fine. Darren took her to the hospital.”

“What?”

Hearing Terence’s words, Mrs. Lockwood felt like her head was about to explode.

“Terence, what did you say? Darren took who to the hospital? So Natalie went to the hospital to see her ex— Ugh!”

Mrs. Lockwood felt mortified. Her son had a habit of speaking without a filter, and now she had done the same. It would be terrible if the old lady misunderstood.

She quickly tried to smooth things over. “Mother, Natalie isn't there because of her shameless ex-husband. She’s only there because her mother is hurt. She had no choice.”

The matriarch spoke, her voice sharp with anger. “If you knew her ex-husband was going to be there, why didn’t you go with her?”

Terence calmly began to eat.

“Because I trust her.”
