My Heart only Beats for You (Natalie Godfrey) novel Chapter 685

Natalie paused.

As if the world had slowed down, Natalie sluggishly looked up at Benjamin and said, "Benjamin, what are you talking about?"

Benjamin choked back his sobs. "Miss Godfrey, the ship exploded. Everything within miles of the ship died, and we only made it out because of the special clothing and our distance from the ship."

Natalie's eyes widened.

"Benjamin, you're lying, right?"

He did not speak, but his the expression on his face already told her everything she needed to know.

Natalie suddenly rushed up to Benjamin and exclaimed, "Why didn't you give the clothing to Tobias? Why?! If he'd worn it, he'd definitely be fine!"

Benjamin's eyes were red. "Miss Godfrey, we only had two sets of the clothing. Even if there were three sets, there was no way Mr. Whitlock could have worn it. He'd thought everything out. If he'd worn it before getting on the ship, they would've noticed immediately. Later on, when I went to get you out of there, they didn't search me because I was just his subordinate. However, even if I'd given the clothing to Mr. Whitlock at that time, they might have detonated the explosives while he was putting on the clothing. Anyway, nobody knows how well the clothing would have protected him since he was so close to the explosives. Miss Godfrey, Mr. Whitlock set his heart on protecting you!"

Natalie felt dizzy.

She squatted down, her shoulders trembling uncontrollably as she let out pained sobs.

"Tobias, why? Why did you do this? I'm not worth it!"

Natalie stayed in the hospital for a day and a night, and she neither ate nor drank.

Benjamin was by her side, trying to comfort her.

Tobias' email had given Benjamin instructions to take care of Natalie.

Therefore, his primary task was to bring Natalie out of her pain and sorrow.

However, he wasn't the greatest at comforting. The more he spoke, the worse things got.

"Miss Godfrey, don't be sad anymore. Mr. Whitlock said that he's finally paid off his debt to you, so don't be sad."

Benjamin's words made Natalie even more agitated.

Her tears kept falling.

She understood what Tobias meant.

What he said that he owed her were undoubtedly the effects caused by that misunderstanding.

She regretted it.

She regretted caring too much about her ego to tell Tobias that it didn't matter to her anymore.

Tobias did not owe her anything, nothing at all!

Even if he did, he could not repay her with his life!

She'd been the one to owe him a debt from the start!

Tobias was such a smart man. Why had he done something so stupid?

What did he mean that he'd finally paid off his debt to her?

He had never owed her anything, never.

Natalie's sobbing became more and more hysterical, to the point that she was almost suffocating.

Benjamin was terrified to see Natalie crying so intensely. He was afraid that she'd pass out, or even die from crying so much.

Benjamin called the doctor over.

The doctor gave Natalie a sedative, and she finally calmed down.

Benjamin had no choice but to call Yvonne.

Natalie was so sad. No matter how hard he tried to persuade her, it did not work.

He was already heartbroken enough about the fact that something like this had happened to Tobias. Now that he had to deal with Natalie as well, he was mentally and physically exhausted.

Yvonne rushed to the hospital after receiving Benjamin's call.

This was the first time that Benjamin did not blush or panic when he saw Yvonne.

He told Yvonne everything with a heavy heart.

Her face was full of disbelief.

She had heard of the explosion by the sea. After all, it was a serious matter.

Yvonne constantly tried to pull Natalie out of her funk, but Natalie didn't react in any way.

In the end, Yvonne really had no way to handle this.

She decided to take a risk and held up a knife in front of Natalie. "Natalie Godfrey, who are you putting this act on for? If you want to die, just go ahead and do it. Stab yourself with this and end it once and for all."

Natalie's eyes finally moved.

Her gaze slowly fell on the knife.

After a moment, she really took the knife from Yvonne and plunged it towards her chest without hesitation.

Yvonne was scared out of her wits.

She snatched the knife out of Natalie's hands and exclaimed, "Natalie, have you lost your mind?"

Natalie looked at Yvonne and murmured, "You're right. I'll be free from this pain and suffering once I'm dead, and I don't need to feel guilty anymore.

Yvonne, give me the knife. Everything will be better once I'm dead."

Yvonne gritted her teeth.

With Natalie like this... Yvonne suddenly raised a hand and gave Natalie a hard slap.

It landed on her face.

The slap rang out crisply, and a fingerprint quickly appeared on Natalie's face.

Seeing this, Yvonne's heart ached.

She had never expected that one day, she would slap Natalie in the face.

However, she couldn't think of any other way...

Normally, under such immense pain, people would only come back to their senses with some stimulation.

As expected, a trace of astonishment flashed in Natalie's eyes at Yvonne's slap.

Yvonne pointed at Natalie and enunciated her words. "Natalie, do you know why Tobias saved you? He wanted you to live a good life. Why else would he sacrifice his life, sacrifice everything that he had, just to save you?"
