The next evening, the vehicle sent by Jasper arrived on time to pick up Natalie. The car stopped in front of a private club.Someone led Natalie to a particular room where Jasper was waiting.Natalie surveyed her surroundings warily, but Jasper tossed a bag at her, saying, "Change into this."Without responding, Natalie took the bag and inspected its contents.Inside was a plain yellow dress. Quite ordinary. The design even seemed somewhat outdated.Natalie couldn't fathom Jasper's intentions and asked, "Why do I have to wear this?""I told you to change, so change!" Jasper glanced impatiently at Natalie.Natalie was well aware that she was currently in a situation where she had no choice but to comply. As long as the requests were not too extreme, she would obey.However, looking around, she couldn't see a place where she could change. She said, "You need to stay outside.""What?""I need to change my clothes, and it's not appropriate with you here," Natalie replied, somewha
"Natalie!" The urgency in the call turned heads as a figure dashed toward them.It was Sheldon.Leslie, of course, wouldn't miss any opportunity that could potentially bring Sheldon and Natalie closer together.She had discreetly sent Natalie's real-time location to Sheldon, casting him in the role of the knight in shining armor.As Sheldon neared, he saw the two figures standing on the lawn.He felt like an intruder, disrupting a private moment. He was ready to retreat quietly.But when Natalie suddenly collapsed, there was no way he could just leave.Henry, spotting Sheldon, acted decisively. "Take her, get her to the hospital now! I must find someone urgently!"Sheldon was a bit surprised by Henry's decision.Didn't Henry usually treat him like a potential threat?Before Sheldon could fully grasp the situation, Henry had vanished into the shadows of the night.Sheldon, seeing Natalie's alarmingly pale face, sprang into action. Without a second thought, he lifted her and q
The envelope fluttered to the ground.The press conference, surprisingly, had been the least of his problems.He had always felt responsible for that incident. In fact, since that incident, he had never touched architectural design again.Even though his skills were recognized, there was a hurdle in his heart that he couldn't overcome.But the confession …Henry felt indebted to Livia. But with her gone, what purpose did these acts serve? Wouldn't it be better to let her rest in peace?"When you've sorted this out, I'll give you the antidote," Jasper said. The corners of his mouth were tugged as he turned away.Henry took a deep breath as he looked at the envelope. Then, he bent down to pick it up.He hadn't read its contents yet, but it didn't matter. The real issue was his lack of options.Henry quickly pulled out his phone to make a call."Wade, I need you to arrange a press conference immediately."On the other end of the line, Wade sounded surprised.Why suddenly arran
Henry raised his eyes and glanced at the camera in front of him.Jasper felt that Henry was staring at him through that camera. And it seemed like he had a smile on his face too. However, Jasper disregarded that thought immediately, thinking he was seeing things.How could Henry be smiling when he was about to read the confession letter?"In fact, Mr. Brown of Elysian Group was involved in this incident," said Henry slowly.Jasper was shocked to hear this.Jennifer looked at him perplexedly and asked, "What's going on? I thought you told him to make a confession. Why is he mentioning you now?"Jasper didn't know what was going on too, but he had a really bad feeling about it. Nevertheless, Jasper forced himself to stay calm. "He's just bluffing," he said.All the reporters seemed puzzled as they waited for Henry to go on.Henry took a glance at his watch. Then, he said calmly, "I'd like to remind Mr. Brown that there might be a little problem with your shipment at the dock.
Sheldon took the bottle of antidote without hesitation.As he was preparing the antidote on a table, he overheard a voice behind him."Sorry I'm late," Henry said to Natalie.Sheldon was a bit surprised. He never knew that Henry had such a gentle and caring side too.After mixing the antidote in a glass of water, he handed it to Henry.Natalie was lying quietly in Henry's arms. Her brows were furrowed, and her forehead was covered with sweat. She seemed to be enduring the pain."Open your mouth. Drink this antidote." Henry put the glass to Natalie's month.Natalie blinked her eyes. She wanted to drink it, but she could barely open her mouth due to the pain.Henry noticed her struggle and frowned as he thought of a solution."Maybe I'll go buy a spoon at the hospital's convenience store?" Seldon suggested.Sheldon was about to leave the room when Henry stopped him. "I've got a plan."Sheldon turned around and saw Henry taking a big sip of the antidote. Then, he fed Natalie
Henry didn't respond. He simply stood there looking at Sheldon."Natalie's a person who gets serious easily. If you want to be nice to her, be nice to her for the rest of your life."Don't quit halfway and shatter her hopes again. It isn't easy for her to start hoping again." Sheldon stared at Henry seriously."I never let myself make the same mistake twice. One mistake is more than enough." Henry expressed his determination clearly."Good to know. I hope you'll remember what you said today." Sheldon nodded. "If you ever let her down again, I'll come for you.""That day will never come," Henry replied confidently. After Henry saw Sheldon off, he entered the ward.Natalie took a glance at him and lowered her eyes. All of a sudden, there was an awkward atmosphere in the room.Natalie thought that Henry would scold her for what she had done that night. However, to her surprise, Henry spoke gently to her, "Next time, can we face these things together?"Natalie was startled.
"Actually, when I found out at the Creative Visions Competition that you were also an architect, I … um … searched for your works online." Natalie took a quick glance at him.She skipped the part where she was astonished by his works.While Sheldon's design was full of humanity and life, Henry's design was mind-blowing and mesmerizing.The building structures that Henry designed were beyond imagination. Hence, many of his works were considered classic and iconic.This new discovery had certainly changed Natalie's impression of Henry. It turned out that not only was he good at making money, he was also an excellent architect."Well?" Henry wanted to hear what she thought of him."Well, I think … you can try to start designing again," Natalie said reservedly.She didn't compliment him because she was worried that he might make a big deal out of it and wouldn't let it go.After all, he had become more and more shameless recently."In other words, you believe in me? You think I ca
"Now, you'll be slammed with me." Henry's eyes seemed to be smiling.He finally understood how stubborn Natalie was now.Even though she wouldn't admit that she still cared about him, her small actions had said it all."Don't you have anything better to do than sending someone to check out my account?" Natalie felt a bit uncomfortable.How else would Henry know that she was one who wrote that comment?She should have opened a fake account so that he wouldn't have found out it was her."Do I even need to check that out? The profile picture of this account is the same as your profile picture on WhatsApp," Henry said indifferently.Only then did Natalie realize that that was indeed the case. Suddenly, her phone rang.It was from an unknown number, but she answered anyway, "Hello?""Is this Ms. Shepherd? We're calling from Elysian Hospital. We'll be doing Felix Yule's heart transplant surgery at 10 am today. Please get Felix admitted as soon as possible."Natalie was thrilled t
