My Heart only Beats for You (Natalie Godfrey) novel Chapter 708

Natalie tried to stand up with Selina's help.

However, she couldn't.

Her knees buckled under her, and she couldn't hold herself up, even with Selina's support.

Natalie kept on trying to stand up, mumbling, "I want to see Tobias..."

Selina was about to burst into tears.

She couldn't help shouting at Peter, "Grandpa, can you see how cruel you're being? What else do you want Natalie to do? Can't you just let her see Tobias?"

Peter glowered back at Selina, his gaze cold and resolute.

He'd been through a lot over the years. How could he be so easily moved by Natalie's actions?

"Release her, Selina!" Peter said. "Let the bodyguards throw her out of here. She doesn't deserve to see Tobias!"

Selina's expression changed into one of disbelief.

To Selina, Peter was strict, but he had strong morals. She hadn't expected him to be so cruel towards Natalie.

"Grandpa, is your heart made of steel?" Selina couldn't help but yell at him.

Peter suddenly raised his voice. "Selina, this woman has brought harm to Tobias, and he's still lying in there unconscious. Are you truly his sister? Why are you on her side?"

"I helped Natalie precisely because I'm his sister!"

Peter's face stiffened.

Selina choked out, "Grandpa, Tobias loves Natalie. He was willing to sacrifice his life for Natalie, so how can we be harming Natalie when we're his family?"

"If you're really doing this for Tobias' good, then don't treat Natalie like this!"

Selina wasn't lying. Those were her exact thoughts.

To be honest, she did blame Natalie a little when she knew that Tobias had gotten into such an accident.

When she saw Natalie for the first time after Tobias' accident, she felt repulsed and acted aloof towards her.

But it didn't take long for her to realize the truth.

It was true that Tobias had gotten into this accident because of Natalie, but he had done it willingly for her.

If their positions were reversed, Natalie would have done the same to save the man he loved.

Now that Tobias was unconscious, Natalie would not feel any less painful than any of them.

What they were doing was hurting her even more now, and they shouldn't be doing that.

Peter's lips were pursed into a tight line, and his face darkened, twitching slightly.

"Are you done talking?" he suddenly barked at her.

"Yes. I've said enough, Grandpa. That's all that I wanted to say!"

Peter snorted coldly.

"That's what you think, Selina? Don't feel so righteous. I may not know anything about you youngsters and your love, but I know that Tobias ended up like this because of this woman! If it weren't for her, how would he have gone aboard that ship? How could he have gotten involved in that explosion, and how would he still be unconscious right now?!"

Selina was helpless.

She couldn't understand why Peter was so stubborn. She had said so much just now, yet he had not listened to a single word.

Selina took a deep breath. "Grandpa, you've already investigated the matter, you know the one who harmed Tobias is that woman called Queenie Godfrey, not Natalie. Why do you keep pushing the blame to Natalie?"

"Queenie is Natalie's sister. Her entire family is a disaster!" Peter yelled even louder in return.

Selina ran up to her, stopping by Cecilia's side. "Mom, save Natalie. Grandpa's going to kill her!"

Selina silently thanked God for Cecilia's appearance at such a crucial time.

Selina knew that as Peter's daughter-in-law, Cecilia was highly regarded by him, and he would likely listen to her advice.

Cecilia's brows knitted closely together.

Then, her eyes darted to Natalie.

Natalie held onto the door handle stubbornly.

Her face was ghostly pale. She half-kneeled on the floor as she clung to the door handle like a lifeline, and she looked so weak as if she could collapse at any time.

Cecilia could feel Natalie's cosmic, gut-wrenching sorrow radiating from her even from afar, and it was so intense that it could melt everything else on earth.

The sight of Natalie clinging onto the doorknob with her life tugged at her heart.

She could empathize with such sorrow because she had experienced it before.

She had felt the same way when she first received the news of what had happened to Tobias. She had thought that her only son had died.

Cecilia felt a lump forming in her throat.

She walked up to Peter and cleared her throat. "Peter, just let Natalie see Tobias. Let her be by his side."

Peter's breath hitched.

A moment later, he turned to face Cecilia in utter shock, crying out. "Cecilia, you've gone crazy just like Selina. How can you allow Tobias' murderer to be by his side? Have you all lost your minds?!"

A murderous intent flashed in his eyes. "If that's the case, all the more that this woman can't be allowed to live! She's cast a spell over everyone in the Whitlock family!"

"Peter!" Cecilia's tone was sorrowful. "Your grandson... your grandson is still lying in there. Are you going to kill the woman he loves right in front of him?"
