Echoes Of a Forsaken Heart

Chapter 100

From the dead of night until the first light of dawn. Hamilton had worn Natalia out until she was utterby exhausted before finally letting her rest.

“Sleep now.”

With her eyes closed. Natalia quickly succumbed to sleep.

Glancing at the clock, Hamilton noticed it was already past ten in the morning. He grabbed his phone and stepped out of the bedroom to call Casplan.

“I won’t make it today. I’ll drop by some other time.”

Caspian felt a tinge of disappointment upon hearing Hamilton wouldn’t be coming. He had hoped to see Natalia again.

“What about Ms. Jenkins?”

Hamilton’s brow arched sharply, and a light chuckle escaped him. “Are you perhaps a tad too interested in her?*

Caspian let out a wry laugh. “Are you sure you’re not the one smitten with her?”

Without responding, Hamilton lit a cigarette. The word ‘smitten‘ would never fit into what he felt for Natalia. He admitted to a somewhat twisted possessiveness over her, but he figured that was just a man’s nature.

“Is there anything else? If not, I’m hanging up.”

“Wait, wait,” Caspian quickly added, “Don’t get the wrong idea. I have no other intentions toward Ms. Jenkins. It’s just that Bianca suddenly noticed yesterday that Ms. Jenkins bears some resemblance to my sister, so I thought I should ask.”

Hamilton’s brows knitted together.

“Are you certain?”

“Positive,” Caspian confirmed. “I might not notice these things, but Bianca’s a photographer with an eye for detail. We compared photos of Ms. Jenkins with my sister’s, and there’s a definite likeness.”

Hamilton’s gaze lingered on the peacefully sleeping Natalla. After a moment, he said, “There are many people who look alike.”

“I know, but it’s worth asking, right? What if we miss something?” Caspian paused, “Do you know Ms. Jenkins‘ mother’s maiden name?”

Hamilton frowned slightly. He really didn’t know. All he knew was that Natalia’s mother had been in a serious car accident and was hospitalized. Beyond that, he was clueless.

“I’ll ask her when she wakes up.”
