Echoes Of a Forsaken Heart

Chapter 60

Hamilton arched an eyebrow ever so slightly. “Like what? Trusting?”

Natalia nodded her head in affirmation.

Hamilton actually took a moment to ponder. “When it comes to trust, I only trust myself. Does that satisfy you, Ms. Jenkins?”

Natalia was at a loss for words.

Did he mean that he didn’t even trust Eveleen?

Natalia’s fingers tightened unconsciously. “And what about Eveleen?”

Hamilton’s gaze darkened a tad.

But Natalia only kept her eyes on him.

He moved his lips to speak, but before he could say a word, there was a knock on the hospital room door.

The secretary stood outside, handing Hamilton a bag.

Hamilton took it, walked over to the bedside, and said, “Come here, let’s dry your hair.”

The question Natalia hadn’t finished asking suddenly seemed unnecessary.

What did it matter whether he trusted Eveleen or not? After all, it had nothing to do with her.

Natalia composed herself, sat on the couch, and let Hamilton dry her hair.

After he finished, Hamilton finally spoke.

“Eveleen is special to me. If you don’t want to embarrass yourself, Ms. Jenkins, I’d suggest you don’t compare yourself to her.”

Natalia was silent for a moment before saying, “Alright, I understand.”

Hamilton’s phone began to ring. It was Eveleen’s personalized ringtone.

Natalia suddenly felt tired. “If you have things to do, Mr. Fowler, go ahead. I need to rest.”

Hamilton gave her a look, “Eveleen’s here for a dressing change. I’m going to be with her.”

“Okay.”

Natalia lay in bed, the blanket covering half her face.

Hamilton frowned slightly. He pulled down her blanket. “If you’re tired, get some sleep. I’ll be back after she’s done.”

Natalia didn’t respond.

In truth, not only did Hamilton not trust her, but she also didn’t have much trust in him. Like
