"Get away from me! I won't believe you! I don't want to know what type of a person you are, either!" Natalie shouted crazily.She just wanted to return to Henry's side.Although she had only been away from Henry for a few days, a sense of desperation she had never felt before was starting to consume her.It was because she was worried about him.She fully believed he would do anything to look for her this time. That made her more worried.She would never doubt his feelings for her. She would never doubt if he cared about her life.Jasper continued to remain calm.He lowered his eyes. Natalie could not understand him. She didn't know what he was thinking.After a while, he looked back up at her and said gently, "Do you want to go back to Henry's side?"Natalie did not say anything. She only pursed her lips tightly and looked at him with hatred.How could she not hate him?The life she had dreamed about for so long was finally here. The man she had loved for so many years fina
Tears pooled in her eyes, blurring her vision.Her hands trembled slightly as she gently caressed Henry's face through the photos.Although she could not see Henry's entire face, she could tell he looked much thinner and fragile now."Henry… I will try my best to take care of myself and our child for you."Reuniting with you will be the biggest motivation and anticipation for me and our child. You must take care of yourself since you're alone at home. Alright?"I have too many things that I want to tell you…"I want to hear you sing to me again. I miss your hugs. I miss you saying goodnight to me."I miss going to work with you and discussing architectural designs with you…"Tears began to flow quicker as Natalie spoke. She even began to choke on her sobs."However, our short separation is for a happier ending. Am I right?"Henry, I can already hear the sound of our child's heartbeat. We would probably be able to see a clearer outline of our child now if we went to a checkup.
However, Henry did not dwell on it and quickly focused on decorating the nursery.After a while, someone knocked on the door.Amos' voice sounded from outside. "Mr. Chase, a man by the name of Mr. Quinn is requesting to meet you."Quinn?Henry was confused.Was it Jackson? Why did Jackson come here to meet him at such a time?"Mr. Chase, do you want to meet him? It's the man who claimed to be Mrs. Chase's brother," Amos said after not hearing an answer from Henry."I'll meet him," Henry said as he began maneuvering his wheelchair.Amos quickly rushed in. He walked behind the wheelchair and pushed Henry out of the room.After a while, they reached the first floor.Jackson was filled with shock and regret when he saw Henry in a wheelchair."I didn't think that would be true… I thought the reporters were making things up," Jackson said as he blatantly stared at Henry's legs.It was such a waste. A perfect man like Henry had become disabled just like that.Amos looked at Jacks
"Why are you calling me?" Sheldon immediately questioned after answering the call."What's your relationship with Mrs. Lancaster?" Henry asked.To find a lead quickly, he had to clear some things up.Sheldon went quiet for a moment. He never thought Henry would ask him such a question so directly."Why are you suddenly asking me this?""I have some news regarding Mrs. Lancaster, and I'm debating if I should tell you. If you two have nothing to do with each other, you can pretend I've never called.""Wait!"Sheldon immediately continued, "What about Mrs. Lancaster?"Henry's expression flashed with understanding. It seemed Sheldon and Amy's relationship wasn't as simple as he had imagined."You haven't answered me. What's the relationship between the two of you?""She's my mother." Sheldon did not hide anything and answered him frankly.There was nothing to hide. He did not think anything was humiliating about having a mother like Amy.Henry did not expect to hear such an ans
Jasper's expression remained impassive. It was impossible to tell what he was feeling."Natalie, are you still unable to understand what I'm trying to say? Shouting like this and hurting me won't help Amy in any way. Do you want her to suffer even more?"There was an underlying threat hidden beneath Jasper's calm tone.Natalie's heart was full of hatred.It was the first time she had felt like her heart was about to explode from the overwhelming hatred in her heart.However, she did not dare to express it. She could only force herself to behave."I don't like it when you look at me with such eyes. Could you change your gaze?" Jasper's voice was soft.He sounded like he was negotiating with her.But each word was like a stab at Natalie's heart. It stabbed at her rationality, forcing her to obey him.It took Natalie a great deal of effort before she softened her gaze toward Jasper.Only then did Jasper smile. He lifted his hand and said, "Good girl."Jasper was about to caress
There was some paper and a pen in the room.Natalie took the letter and sat beside the table.Although she was only supposed to do something as simple as copying a note, she felt exhausted. She felt like there was no more energy left inside of her.But when she thought about it, she knew Amy would only suffer if she did not obey. So, Natalie could only force herself to pick up the pen.Tears were streaming down Natalie's face by the time she finished copying the letter.Jasper had also returned. He paused when he noticed that she was crying.Was leaving Henry that painful for her?He could not understand what was so good about Henry. Livia used to be so in love with Henry. Natalie was, too.When Natalie turned her head and looked at him with pure hatred in her eyes, he felt his heart drop.The familiar feeling of pain overwhelmed him.Pain? How could his heart feel pain?It had been so long since he felt such an emotion. He had even thought that nothing would be able to caus
About an hour later, Jackson was brought to the Chase residence.Jackson seemed to be displeased as he cursed loudly. Perhaps it was due to the bodyguard's slightly rough behavior.However, he quickly shut his mouth when he saw Henry coming out of the elevator. He immediately smiled and said, "Henry, why did you want to meet me?""Do you know where Natalie is?" Henry did not beat around the bush and asked him directly.His eyes were fixed on Jackson, afraid of missing a clue."I…" Jackson did not expect Henry to be so direct. He was momentarily speechless."Jackson, you will definitely regret it if I find out you lied to me about this." Henry's voice was soft, but there was an underlying threat beneath his tone.Jackson felt slightly guilty and looked at Henry with some hesitance.He began to speak with a slight stammer. "If I can g-give you some useful information, will y-you compensate me accordingly?"Henry's expression darkened. So that bastard knew where Natalie was, yet
Jasper had actually escaped prison?Henry had not heard anything about that. He hadn't paid much attention to him, to be exact.He thought life would be peaceful during the few years that Jasper would spend in prison.It never occurred to him that Jasper would be released. He also never expected Jasper to have his revenge on them so quickly."I got it." It took a lot of effort for Henry to say those few words before ending the call."We're almost at the villa! We'll be there once you drive past that turning!" Jackson quickly gave out some directions.Henry took out his phone and called the head of his security, Mark. "Find someplace nearby to stop the car. Try and scout the situation inside the villa.""Alright, Mr. Chase."No matter what, they had to gauge the situation.They could not just rush in to rescue Natalie. Doing such a thing might endanger Natalie's life even further.They still had to plan even though it was just a rescue.There was a crossroad up ahead. One roa
