Echoes Of a Forsaken Heart

Chapter 59

Chapter 59

Natalie’s heart ached as Hamilton’s words pierced through her like a cold blade.

Was she tainted just because Lionel had helped her up?

She looked straight at Hamilton and retorted, “I suppose the places on you that Eveleen has clung to and embraced are far more numerous.

Hamilton stood aside, merely letting out a faint chuckle. “Do you not understand who the real breadwinner here is? If you have the means to be my sugar mama, I might consider not touching another woman.”

Suddenly, Natalie lost the will to argue. Indeed, what right did she have to make demands of Hamilton? She had forgotten their relationship was anything but equal.

“Just go. I need to take a shower.”

Hamilton glanced at her, his gaze resting on her pale, bloodless face. “You sure you can handle it yourself?”

“I’m fine.”

He shrugged nonchalantly and left the bathroom.

As the door closed behind him, Natalie’s tears fell uncontrollably. She bit her lip to keep silent, not making a sound as she wept.

After a while, feeling slightly better, she undressed and stepped into the shower.

Her arm was injured, and although she tried to be careful, she still managed to get the bandage wet. The wound had been agitated by Hamilton earlier, and now the dressing was stained with a hint of red.

Pulling herself together, Natalie quickly dried off.

There was a knock on the bathroom door.

“Are you done?” Hamilton’s voice came through.

“Yes,” Natalie responded.

He entered, handing her a set of clothes. “Wear this.”

Taking the clothes, Natalie murmured a soft “Okay.”

Hamilton’s eyes fell on the now crimson–soaked bandage on her arm.

“I’ll call a nurse to change your dressing.”
