He immediately dashed in her direction and crouched down beside her on the floor. Maria followed him and stood beside him. She is looking equally worried for her.Natalie looked paler than before. Her lips have lost their natural pink colour. Cyrus reached to touch her face and his eyes widened in shock when his palm made contact with her skin.

Her push was not strong enough to make him move away from her body but he still took a step away from her because of the tears that he saw pooling in her dull brown eyes. “Nat, I was just trying to hel…” she didn’t let him complete his sentence and cut him off by saying, “Don’t call me that”. “Don’t act like we are close” she shouted in frustration. “Why are you doing this to me, huh? Why are you showing this concern to me after what you did to me? Why are you acting like you care when you don’t?” she asked. She is still not feeling stable emotionally.
