My Heart only Beats for You (Natalie Godfrey) novel Chapter 686

"Fine, you can kill yourself. You'll be happy if you die, right? But have you ever thought about Tobias? He's already sacrificed his life for you. If you just stab yourself like that, don't you feel sorry for him?"

"Natalie, you need to have a conscience. If you don't live well and enjoy your life, you will be disappointing Tobias. Do you understand?"

"Tobias only had one goal in mind when he sacrificed his life, which was to exchange it for yours, Natalie! If you just kill yourself like this, wouldn't Tobias have died in vain? He'd die of exasperation in the otherworld!"

"Also, have you forgotten that you still have a son? Do you want your son to lose first his father, then his mother?"

"Tobias' death was unavoidable, but you still have the chance to live a good life! Stop trying to kill yourself at the slightest difficulty! If you really kill yourself, you'll be letting Tobias down!"

Yvonne finished saying this all in a single breath.

She stared at Natalie and said, "Do you understand?"

There was still no reaction from Natalie.

Yvonne felt utter despair.

She took away all of the sharp things in the ward.

"I'm going out to get you some food. You should think it over." After that, Yvonne walked out of the ward.

Outside, Benjamin was waiting uneasily.

Seeing Yvonne come out, he hurriedly asked, "Miss Simpson, how did it go?"

Yvonne shook her head helplessly. "I don't think I got through to her."

Benjamin's heart sank.

Helping Natalie move on and live her life was the most important task that Tobias had entrusted to him. If he couldn't even do this, how could he face Tobias?

"Take good care of Natalie. I'm afraid she'll do something stupid. I'm going to buy something for her to eat," Yvonne said.

"Miss Simpson, it's useless even if you buy something. She's not eating anything right now."

Yvonne's breathing hitched.

She was a little annoyed. "I don't care. I'll give her some time to think about it while I get food."

Half an hour later, Yvonne returned.

She had some food with her.

She had bread, coffee, bagels, a cake, biscuits, and even potato chips.

"Is Natalie alright?" Yvonne asked Benjamin, who was guarding the door of the ward.

Benjamin nodded and said, "She's been rather quiet after you left."

Just like that, Yvonne went in with the food.

Natalie was still sitting on the hospital bed, motionless.

Yvonne emptied the bag one by one. "Natalie, look what I got for you. It's all your favourite things, bread, coffee, bagels, biscuits, potato chips... What do you want to eat?"

Natalie suddenly shuddered.

Then, her gaze fell on the items that Yvonne had bought.

Yvonne's heart lifted when she saw Natalie finally reacting to something.

"Natalie, what do you want to eat? I'll get it for you."

Natalie took the food on her phone.

She took the coffee and bagel and started eating.

As she ate, her tears suddenly flowed down again.

When she finished eating, her tears suddenly stopped.

Natalie took a deep breath.

She looked at Yvonne.

Yvonne's heart skipped a beat.

This was the first time that Natalie had looked at her since she'd arrived, and her eyes were no longer blank.

The newspaper had a report on the explosion, and it clearly stated that though the number of deaths had yet to be determined, it was clear that nobody had survived the explosion. Even the underwater creatures had died.

Natalie's gaze froze.

After a while, she shook her head. "It's fake. It's fake. I have to go and have a look."

After that, she looked at Yvonne and said, "Yvonne, can you take me to have a look?"

She got out of bed, ready to leave the ward.

Yvonne held on to her. "Natalie, wake up! Didn't you see what the newspaper wrote? Nobody survived, and even the underwater creatures died! Are you still trying to lie to yourself?"

Natalie mumbled, "I want to take a look, I want to take a look."

"You're not allowed to go!" Yvonne's eyes were red. "I won't let you go!"

What could she do even if she were to go there? She'd just be making things worse for herself.

If she went there, it would only make her sadder. What good would that do?

All of a sudden, Natalie squatted down.

She buried her head between her knees and said in a choked voice, "Why won't you let me go? | just want to have a look. Why won't you let me go?"

"I don't believe what the TV or newspapers say. I want to see it with my own eyes, I have to. Why won't you let me go?"

"I want to take a look. I have to..."

Her choked up words eventually turned into sobs.

Natalie was crying so hard that her shoulders were heaving. Standing to one side, Yvonne could almost feel the sorrow coming at her.

It was suffocating.

Natalie raised her tear-filled face and looked at Yvonne. "Yvonne, please take me there. Please, I'm begging you."

Yvonne could not hold on any longer.
