Frowning, Natalie replied. “Don’t say stuff like that in front of Elizabeth.She’s already been through enough! Hearing that kind of talk will only make her feel worse.”
Right after she said that, she looked back and saw Elizabeth standing at the door of the doctor’s office, seemingly embarrassed.
“That’s enough.”
Natalie cleared her throat, tugging on Brandon’s shirt and blushing uncontrollably.
Elizabeth probably heard Brandon’s snide remark earlier.
Seeing as her friend looked dispirited. Natalie stood up and tried to explain, “Please don’t take our words to heart. We were just joking around.”
“Honestly, it’s okay.You’re right, anyway.”
Elizabeth looked down, visibly disheartened. She felt really ashamed of herself.
‘I’m so sorry for what happened.This is all my fault.None of this would’ve happened if not for me.I almost put your lives in danger!”
Both Brandon and Natalie had helped her a lot.
If it weren’t for them, she and her aunt would’ve been corpses by now.
Now that she had cairned down. Elizabeth realized that she deserved happened to her. She shouldn’t blame anyone else for all her misfortune.
“Don’t say things like that.Jorge is the bad guy here, not you!” Natalie countered.
She glanced at Elizabeth’s bandaged hands and
Biting her lower l*p. Elizabeth fell silent for seconds
“The doctor said that the injuries are serious and that I needed to remain in the hospital for a few days for further observation.”
She then turned to one of the rooms and said, “Fortunately, my aunt is fine.The doctor said that she’ll be fine once she regains consciousness.”
Tears were welling up in her eyes.
“This is all my- fault.Because of my incapacity to see the truth before, all of this happened!”
Sniffling and looking down. Elizabeth finally fell silent.Natalie wasn’t sure what to do now.She turned to Brandon and pouted at him.She thought that he really shouldn’t have said those hurtful things.
Knowing that he did go too far. Brandon scratched his nose, stood up. and approached Elizabeth.
Thereafter, Natalie held Brandon’s hand.He looked into her eyes, implying that he knew what she was trying to tell him
“I really was just joking around.I didn’t mean any of it.I’m sorry for being insensitive.”
It was rare for him to apologize to anyone, but he had to.
Natalie was upset with him.
In truth, he didn’t care so much about what he had said.
The only reason he helped Elizabeth was for Natalie’s sake.He said those things because he meant them.
But because Elizabeth was his wife’s friend, he thought that he should be nicer to her.
“Take care of yourself. Elizabeth.I’ll assign my men to protect you and your aunt, so you won’t have to worry too much.Jorge won’t have the guts to show his ugly mug anywhere near you ever again.” Brandon remarked sternly
Elizabeth had calmed down, Natalie and Brandon left the hospital.
