Chapter 666
“Doctor, can you tell me the condition of my wife?”
Beal’s gentle face displayed clear signs of anxiety.
“Mrs.White is experiencing significant mental strain.She must bean prioritize rest and receive support in managing her stress and anxiety during this time.”
Natalie’s heart raced as she overheard the conversation between Beal and the doctor.
She felt a chill in her hands and approached with heavy steps, asking, “How is my mom doing?”
Give her some medication, please!”
Natalie started feeling anxious, as Brandon had mentioned just the day before that Johanna was doing well.
Natalie’s sudden question startled everyone, and Beal quickly recognized her voice.He turned and saw Natalie standing behind him, wearing a sweater, with slightly red eyes.
Beal was momentarily stunned, but soon his eyes filled with tears, and he smiled as he said hoarsely, “Natalie, you’re back.”
“Dad, I’m here to see how you and mom are doing.”
Natalie’s eyes wandered, and then she remained speechless.There was a brief pause, and Beal’s voice trembled with emotion as his eyes grew sad.
“It’s wonderful to have you back.You should go upstairs and see your mother.She’s been quite worried about you for the past two days.”
Upon hearing Beal’s words, Natalie assumed that Johanna was severely ill and unable to get out of bed.
She immediately blamed herself.
“Am I to blame for mom’s illness?”
Upon hearing Natalie’s question, Beal understood her thoughts and tried to comfort her with a smile.
“It’s not because of you, dear.Your mom has always had this issue, and it’s not a big deal.She gets headaches when she’s stressed out.”
Beal introduced the doctors to Natalie, saying, “These are the doctors who have been treating your mother, and they are familiar with her condition.”
Natalie apologized and said, “I’ll go and see mom first.”
Then she nodded at them before making her way upstairs.
Natalie hurried upstairs to Johanna’s room, and just before entering, she overheard a complaint from inside.
“What kind of medication have these doctors given me? It’s very bitter.”
Natalie pushed the door open slowly, and Johanna was surprised to see her standing there.
“Can you give me a moment alone with my mother?”
Natalie asked the servants to leave the room before approaching Johanna’s bedside.She took a candy bar from the table and handed it to her mother, saying, “If the medicine tastes bitter, you can have a candy to help mask the taste.”
Johanna ate the candy without saying anything, leaned against the headboard, and looked at Natalie quietly with loving eyes.
“Why did you run away without saying a word that day? I support you, remember? I intended to assist you in punishing Brandon.”
Johanna was also upset as she recalled the day Natalie had stormed out furiously.
Natalie averted her eyes out of shame and saw the infusion tube attached to the back of her mother’s hand.She started crying uncontrollably.
“Mom, I’m sorry.I was just too angry the other day.”
“So you’ve calmed down and returned to admit your mistakes?”
Johanna asked in an accusatory tone as she held Natalie’s soft hand firmly.
Natalie didn’t want to make Johanna mad again.
Seeing that she was willing to talk to her, she quickly said, “I know you’re angry, and I wouldn’t don’t dare make you any angrier.I’ve simply come home to take care of you, so could you please stop being mad at me, mom?”
With a big smile on her face, Johanna wrapped her arms around Natalie and gently patted her on the back as though she were still a little child.
“Alright, my daughter.Everything is fine.”
After a long while, she unwrapped her arms from around Natalie and took a good look at her.
With a curious expression on her face, she asked, “So what are you going to do about Brandon?”
“To be honest, I haven’t decided yet.My mind is a mess,”
Natalie responded, avoiding her mother’s inquiring gaze.
Johanna stared at her even more intensely and suddenly assumed a more serious tone.
“That’s alright.Anyway, I’m very disappointed by the way that he deliberately hid his illness from you.”
She took a deep breath and continued, “I just want you to know that I’m ready to support you if you ever consider getting a divorce.”
These words appeared to shock Natalie, as her eyes darkened in an instant.
“I still have feelings for Brandon though…”
Natalie bit her lip, lowered her eyes and went mute.Just then, a voice suddenly came from the direction of the door.
