However, Natalie showed no intention of stopping him. She didn't even spare him a glance.

Henry felt like she had hurt his pride. Why did he even bother in the first place?

His car zoomed past her. Only then did Natalie look up.

This wasn't the first time she had been left behind by him. Now, she was able to maintain her composure nonetheless.

"Good job," she thought to herself, "It wouldn't take long for me to get rid of all the feelings I had for him."

She retracted her gaze and took out her phone.

She intended to hail a cab, but there were none around the area since her location was too remote.

Thus, Natalie had no choice but to call Leslie and tell her what happened.

"Stay where you are and wait for me! I'll be there in a flash!"

She felt at ease after Leslie's reassurance. After she hung up, she found a big rock by the roadside and sat down to wait.

However, another vehicle came before Leslie. It was a van.

The van halted right before her. Just as she was still

  • Notice Me, Darling!   Chapter 37 She Seemed So Pitiful

    Sheldon's heart throbbed when he saw Natalie. He dashed toward her and asked, "Natalie, are you alright?"Sheldon took down the cloth that was stuffed in her mouth. Natalie had a lot to tell Sheldon but now was not the time. She shook her head instead. "I'll carry you out!"Without hesitating, Sheldon carried her. The fire was huge, causing thick and pungent smoke to fill the air in the narrow space. "Rest assured; I'll get you out for sure!"Sheldon moved promptly toward the door with her in his arms. She couldn't help but glance at him. He was frowning, and his expression was complicated. She didn't expect him to save her in the end. Just as they were about to make their way out of the metal shack, the roof suddenly collapsed. A large piece of burning metal came crashing down."Careful!" Natalie warned as she noticed it first. Sheldon dodged it swiftly. However, his shoulder was slightly injured, which seemed pretty painful. Natalie heard him grunt, and a hint

    Leonard was all ears for Henry's answer. He was anticipating him saying he was going to take care of Natalie. There was no way for him to miss such a great opportunity. Yet, Henry's answer almost sent him into a frenzy. "What's the big deal? She just got admitted to the hospital. It's not like she'd die any sooner …" Henry said nonchalantly. Feeling helpless, Leonard tapped on the steering wheel. Initially, he thought he was quite heartless toward women. Who knew Henry would be much worse than him? "Henry …""I'm busy. I'll hang up now."Henry didn't want to dwell on this topic any further, so he hung up shortly after. However, his mind was filled with how frail Natalie looked when she was sick.He had a lot of work to attend to, yet he couldn't bring himself to set his mind to it. He was frustrated with himself. In the end, he finally couldn't stand it and threw his pen away. He closed his eyes. Henry tried to calm himself down. It simply wasn't worth losing his c

    The moment she walked out of the ward, she saw Henry and Juliet in each other's arms. She didn't want to think too much about it either. But couldn't they have just gone somewhere farther away if they wanted to be lovey-dovey with one another? Why did they have to do that in front of her every time? Although she had tried very hard to pretend that she didn't care, in her heart, she was still unable to be impassive. Henry ignored her. He dragged her to the emergency stairwell, then pressed her against the wall. He then kissed her right on the lips forcefully. Natalie was surprised by his move. What was he doing?!Moreover, his kiss felt very much like he was punishing her.This was ridiculous! He was the one who pranced around in public with Juliet. She thought she had been tactful enough not to interrupt them. But why was he mad at her instead? Did he even know what she had gone through today? She almost lost her baby!If he hadn't abandoned her mid-way, such a thi

    The sudden movement made both Sheldon and Natalie jump.They looked toward the door, only to see a few people rush into the ward. Some of them had microphones in their hands. Some others had video cameras on their shoulders. Natalie realized who they were. They were reporters! She walked up to them immediately and indignantly questioned them, "Who gave you all permission to come in? Even as reporters, you'd still need to respect other people's privacy." But, this group of reporters was overbearing. They completely ignored her words. A number of microphones were presented in front of her. "You are Ms. Shepherd, right?" "Aren't you Mr. Chase's wife? Why are you here looking after another man?" "What's your relationship with this man?" "Rumors have it that you and Mr. Chase are having problems in your marriage. Is that true?" The reporters spouted a slew of questions at her. She was clearly almost at her tipping point. Sheldon didn't like the sight of Natalie being pr

    Henry's gaze was fixed on his cell phone for a while. In the end, he still decided to answer it. After he picked up the call, he regretted his decision. "Henry! When can you stop causing trouble for me?" The sound of Cliff's reproach came from the other end of the call. His voice was very loud. Even Wade could hear him. Wade perceived that it wasn't too appropriate for him to stay, so he excused himself quietly."You ring me up once in a blue moon just to lecture me?" Henry scoffed. "Go and take a look at the news yourself! You'd better handle your private matters urgently! "If you make me embarrassed in front of my friends just because of your private matters, I will not forgive you!" Right after, Cliff hung up. Although Henry had a smile on his face, he was not smiling out of good humor. He opened his internet browser immediately. The headlines made his jaw drop. He tapped into the news article. It was an article about Natalie looking after Sheldon at the hospita

  • Notice Me, Darling!   Chapter 42 You Have No Right to Rebuke Me

    Natalie looked at him, full of suspicion. She felt that he looked reluctant to talk. She ended up holding back on her questions and simply walked in. The door closed. She took a quick scan of the entire suite room. Its interior had been completely renovated. The renovated style was straightforward, but every corner still felt exquisite. Henry walked to the front of the floor-to-ceiling window and sat down on the couch there. He lifted his eyes and fixed his gaze on her. "Don't go over to the hospital anymore. Other than that, move over here from today onward." Upon hearing his words, Natalie had a look of disbelief on her face. She sniggered. "Why must I abide by your plans? What makes you think that you can make decisions on my behalf?" "I can force Sheldon out of the hospital with just one word!" Henry said through gritted teeth. The look in his eyes turned darker. She was the one who created such a mess. He was the one who wanted to have a civilized discussio

    "Is this Mr. Cook? We're from New Era Media, and we heard you're up for an interview. Is that right?" The voice on the other end conveyed a subtle excitement.Sheldon was undoubtedly a renowned figure in architectural design. Surprisingly, he hadn't given any interviews until now. If the New Era Media succeeded in securing the interview, it would surely attract a lot of attention.Sheldon replied in a soft tone, "Yes.""That's fantastic! We'll arrange for the most experienced reporter to interview you! May I inquire about a convenient time for the interview?" The other party asked respectfully."I'm available right now."The other party was thrilled. After inquiring about Sheldon's location, the call ended.Sheldon set his phone down and looked out the window. He'd never been a fan of interviews, but this time was different; it was for Natalie.A strong desire to step up and clear the air gripped him. The relentless online attacks against Natalie had become unbearable. The

    Natalie stood there in shock, grappling with the disbelief of what she had just heard.Henry momentarily appeared unsettled by her reaction. He remarked sarcastically, "Why is it that you can feed Sheldon but not me?"Her incredulity turned into frustration. She retorted, taken aback by the absurd comparison, "How can you even compare yourself to Sheldon? He got a shoulder injury, and his hand can't even move!" Acting a bit childish, he insisted, "I don't care. So, are you going to feed me or not?"She gritted her teeth in frustration and felt the urge to slam the plate of pasta right into his face. But she held herself back. Eventually, she reluctantly grabbed the fork.She deliberately scooped the pasta from the bottom of the plate and fed it to the corner of his mouth. Without a second thought, he accepted the bite. The scalding pasta burned his mouth.He promptly covered it, his eyes brimming with discontent. "Are you trying to scorch me?"Watching him wince from the he

It was only when Celine's figure completely vanished at the elevator that he wheeled himself into Natalie's ward.He had just finished speaking with the doctor in his office regarding Natalie's condition. The doctor informed him that Natalie might not be able to hold pens for some time.
