Echoes Of a Forsaken Heart

Chapter 140

Chapter 140

“Relax, Mr. Fowler, I never regret my actions,” Natalia declared with unwavering resolve.

Hamilton felt an oppressive heaviness in his chest. But he said nothing more. He just watched Natalia, waiting until her IV drip was finished before they both left the hospital together.

After eating something and getting a nutrient boost, Natalia felt some of her strength return.

When Hamilton moved to embrace her, she pushed him away.

“I can walk on my own,”

Hamilton let out a derisive snort and didn’t press further.

Exiting the emergency room, Hamilton said, “Let’s head home. I’m not comfortable with you being out and about in your condition. If anything else happens, I don’t want to be your fallback. Plus, the housekeeper made your favorite dish.”

Natalia could sense his attempt to keep her close, but under the circumstances, his gesture felt like a joke.

She lowered her gaze and replied, “No. Please thank the housekeeper for me.”

With that, she hailed a taxi from the curb.

Hamilton felt like he had gone out of his way for her, yet she wouldn’t give him the time of day. He wasn’t about to keep chasing after her. Fuming, he left.

It was only when he got into his car that he noticed the gift bag on the dashboard.

He had sincerely picked out a present for her after work, and the thought of giving it to her had filled him with anticipation. Now, he felt like a fool.

With a cold laugh, he tossed the bag into the glove compartment. She was just a woman, after

all. He didn’t need her.

Hamilton started the car and drove away.

Natalia stood on the sidewalk, her emotions indistinct.

Perhaps there was a sense of relief. After all, she no longer had to entangle herself with Hamilton and Eveleen.

Suddenly, Scarlett called.

“Natalia, how did it go?” she asked, her voice laced with caution.

During the check–up, the medication Natalia had taken was discovered. If Hamilton found out Scarlett had provided the drugs, she feared for her life. Although she had the nerve to berate Hamilton to his face, it didn’t mean she wasn’t afraid of him.

Natalia’s eyes were clouded with complexity. “It’s settled, I suppose.”
