Because of everything that had happened with Sky, Charlotte and William remained in low spirits.
Natalie led them out of the enforcement office and took them to a nearby coffee shop.
"Mom. Dad, I believe that Sky will truly change this time. We should have faith in him."
She ordered coffee for both of them.
Natalie wasn't particularly good at comforting people, but at the very least, she wanted to ease her parents' emotions.
"Sky and I talked. He genuinely understands his mistakes, and he deeply regrets them. As for Sophia, you don't have to worry about her. I will do my best to pull her out of the mud."
"Good." Charlotte wiped her eyes, holding back the tears threatening to spill. "Sweetie, go on and take care of your own things. Don't worry about your dad and me.
"We're not that fragile. We're just a little sad right now, but we'll adjust soon enough. When Sophia recovers, your father and I plan to invite her over as a guest."
"That's not a good idea," William interrupted Charlotte. "The Walker residence doesn't hold good memories for her. We bought several villas for Nat, didn't we? We can invite her there instead."
"Oh, right." Charlotte nodded quickly. "How could I forget? I wasn't thinking properly.
"Yes, she shouldn't come to the Walker residence. She really shouldn't."
"It's alright, Mom. You don't need to blame yourself." Natalie hugged Charlotte. "Sophia just sent me a message. I need to head to the hospital. Dad, make sure to keep Momr company."
"Go on. Don't worry about us." William watched Natalie with pride.
His real daughter was nothing like Emma.
Natalie was calm and independent. She wasn't overly emotional and was difficult to get close to, but once someone entered her heart, she would treat them kindly.
She had grown up in such a difficult environment with the Langleys, yet she had still turned out so well.
William felt both proud and deeply sorrowful. His daughter was meant to be pampered, cherished, and surrounded by happiness.
But… At least it wasn't too late.
If not for Victor posting Natalie's information on the missing person website, they might never have found her.
For that reason, after forcing Victor and his family to kneel in apology, William and Charlotte had let them off. They would be fine as long as they behaved themselves and never caused trouble for Natalie again.
"Mom, Dad, I'll be going now."
"Alright, take care."
Natalie hugged both of them before turning and leaving the coffee shop.
…
Half an hour later, Natalie arrived at the hospital.
Sophia's condition had improved, but she still spent most of her time sleeping. Samantha was also fast asleep.
Meanwhile, Zachary was seated on the couch, reading a book. Hearing the knock, he immediately stood up. "Ms. Walker, you're here."
"Mr. Holt, you haven't gone home yet?"
"No."
Natalie glanced around the hospital room. By the bed and by the window, two vases of sunflowers had been placed.
Sunflowers—the flower of silent love.
"These sunflowers are quite beautiful," Natalie remarked with a smile. "How is Sophia doing?"
