My Heart only Beats for You (Natalie Godfrey) novel Chapter 591

Natalie's eyes were now entirely red. She stared at Tobias and spat, "I hate you, Tobias Whitlock!"

Tobias was taken aback by the obvious hatred in her eyes. He was rooted to the ground.

Then, Natalie stormed out of the ward.

She was unable to accept the fact that she had been assaulted by him in front of her own son.

Meanwhile, Hayden tottered behind her.

His little legs were not fast enough for him to keep up with her.

"Natalie! Wait for me, wait for me," He shouted from behind.

Natalie ignored Hayden's call and did not slow down for him.

She was too embarrassed by the incident earlier.

"Ouch!" Suddenly, Hayden cried out in pain.

Natalie's body stiffened.

She turned around and saw Hayden kneeling on the ground.

He must have tripped and fell.

At that moment, Natalie couldn't care about anything else.

She ran over and scooped him up into her arms, asking, "Are you alright, Hayden?"

She was worried sick.

Hayden wrapped his little arms around her neck and comforted her instead, "I'm fine. I fell on purpose so you would stop."

Natalie's eyes widened.

He flashed her a mischievous grin, "I knew it. You still care about me."

His words tugged at her heart.

She bit her lip and whispered, "Fine, I won't run anymore."

Hayden sighed in relief.

Then, he blinked innocently and looked at Natalie, "Natalie, I'll ask Daddy to apologize to you. He shouldn't hit you. Only bad boys hit girls. I'll help you teach Daddy a lesson. Please don't be angry."

Natalie pursed her lips and said, "He was not hitting me, he was..."

She stopped abruptly, unable to bring herself to say it out loud.

Hayden nodded firmly, "Natalie, I saw it. He was beating you. He even tore your clothes off. Not only that, he also bit you."

Natalie looked at him in horror.

After thinking about it for a moment, she decided to not explain any further. Hayden was only a child, and he probably would not understand. She might as well let him assume that was what happened.

Besides, it was inappropriate to mention such things to a child.

Natalie remained silent.

"Will you forgive Daddy, Natalie?" Hayden looked at her nervously.

She turned her head to avoid his gaze.

Although Hayden had thought that Tobias had beaten her and said he was a bad person, he was still helping his father in the end. Otherwise, he wouldn't have asked her this.

"There is nothing for me to forgive him for, Hayden," She whispered.

Hayden tilted his head in confusion.

He did not understand what Natalie meant.

Suddenly, the sound of hurried footsteps came from a distance away.

Natalie and Hayden turned their heads in unison towards the source of the sound.

It was Cecilia.

When Cecilia saw that Natalie and Hayden were together, she was relieved.

"Natalie, what happened between you and Tobias?" Cecilia asked in concern, her voice sounding tense and anxious.

Natalie looked down.

Her lashes rested against her cheeks as she frowned, "Nothing. We have nothing to do with each other anyway."

For some reason, Natalie felt extremely agitated and bothered.

She could not walk upstairs now.

Although nothing was going on between her and Remington, she felt like she was at a loss every time she recalled Tobias' words.

In the end, Natalie decided not to visit Remington.

She really couldn't see him in her current state.

She thought that it would be better to wait until the next morning instead. Thus, she made a mental note to call him the next day.

Besides, his fever had already gone down when she left his apartment, so he should be fine.

As she thought about this, she walked away.

Natalie wandered around the area and spotted a barbecue restaurant. She looked inside and saw a few customers sitting sparsely.

Some of the customers were drinking beer inside. When she saw the beer on the table, she suddenly had the urge to drink as well.

Whenever she felt frustrated, drinking would always help soothe her emotions, at least temporarily.

She walked into the restaurant and ordered some barbecue and beer.

The food tasted bland, but she kept eating. At the same time, she drank greedily, downing bottle after bottle.

"Don't you feel lonely drinking alone?" A man suddenly approached her and asked.

Natalie stopped drinking.

She looked up and saw Remington standing beside her. He was staring at her with a raised eyebrow.

His face looked breathtakingly handsome under the illumination of the restaurant's dim light.

"Why are you here?" Natalie asked in surprise, "You have a fever. Aren't you supposed to be resting at home?"

What was he thinking coming out here with a fever?

"So you left someone sick at home while you came out to drink and eat on your own?" He teased, his eyes twinkling.

Natalie blushed in embarassment.
