Natalie couldn't let anyone know anything about Joyce's attempted suicide because rumors would definitely run wild. There would be all sorts of assumptions.

Lily was surprised to learn that Natalie was leaving after having just gotten back.

Still, the former didn't ask too many questions. She simply nodded and replied, “Understood, Ms. Smith.”

Natalie murmured a reply while strapping her bag on and leaving.

Inside the elevator, Natalie closed her eyes and massaged her temple. She seemed emotionally burdened at that moment.

She would never have imagined that things would turn out that way. Yesterday, she made her way back from J City, and today, she learned that Joyce tried to commit suicide.

So the thing that Joyce said she is going to do... It's suicide. That's why she refused to clue me in and why she claimed I will surely stop her if I learn of it. D*mn it, of course, I'd stop her. How can I not? We're talking about suicide here!

Natalie didn't know why Joyce tried to kill herself, but she knew that it must have something to do with Stanley.

After all, Detective Flores mentioned how Joyce was off after she paid a visit to Stanley at Stanford Hospital. That was also when Joyce seemed to have decided to do something drastic.
