Echoes Of a Forsaken Heart

Chapter 53

Chapter 53

Hamilton returned home after dropping Eveleen off, and the clock had already struck past ten at night.

As he stepped through the front door, the nanny’s voice caught his attention.

“Mr. Fowler, you’ve finally returned. Ms. Jenkins has come down with a fever.”

Hamilton paused mid–step as he was taking off his shoes, a frown creasing his forehead.

“How did she get a fever?” he asked as he strode towards the bedroom.

He pushed open the bedroom door only to find it empty. His expression darkened instantly, “Where is she?”

“Ms. Jenkins went to the hospital.”

As he stared at the nanny, his face was growing stormier by the second, “Why didn’t you go with her?”

The nanny seemed uncomfortable, “Ms. Jenkins insisted she could manage on her own. I wanted to accompany her, but she wouldn’t allow it.”

Hamilton’s scowl deepened, “So you let her go alone just because she said no? Do you not understand that she’s sick? How could you just let her go by herself?”

His voice carried a natural authority, and now, tinged with anger, it was enough to leave the nanny speechless.

Hamilton gave the nanny

a hard look, then said after a moment of silence, “Given her current condition, you should accompany her wherever she goes from now on.”

“Understood.” The nanny replied.

Hamilton nodded curtly and pulled out his phone. It was only then that he noticed a missed call from Natalia at six o’clock in the evening. The call had gone through, but the record showed only a few seconds.

Around six o’clock…

Hamilton’s eyes narrowed slightly. That was precisely when he had gone to pick up Eveleen.

At that time, the only other person in his office had been Victor.

Hamilton’s face turned to stone, his eyes filled with displeasure. Victor’s interest in Natalia was too much. Even now, despite his occasional disparaging remarks about her, he just couldn’t hide the keenness in his eyes whenever he looked at Natalia.

Hamilton was not one to begrudge other men’s interest in Natalia; several of his buddies fancied her, but he didn’t care much.
