Echoes Of a Forsaken Heart

Chapter 210

Natalia exchanged a fleeting glance with him before turning to head towards the hospital room. Hamilton caught up with her, grabbing her arm. "Natalia, about Eveleen—"

"Is she dead?"

Hamilton paused, his face clouding over. "Once she's recovered, I'll send her abroad."

Natalia nodded. "You could send her to the moon for all I care."

"After all, this is between you two."

Hamilton felt a sting at her words. "Natalia, are you really dismissing everything about us because of this?"

Natalia fell silent for a moment. "Hamilton, I've said it before, no matter what, I'm grateful to you."

Hamilton waited for more, but it seemed Natalia had said her piece.

What did that mean?

Was gratitude all there was left?

Hamilton grew anxious. "Natalia, I didn't do anything with her. I just couldn't stand by and watch her die." "So, Hamilton, you should stay by her side."

Hamilton gave a bitter laugh.

He had gone through hell and back getting to Boria City, explaining things for her, taking hits for her.

And now, because he couldn't bear to see Eveleen die, she was pushing him back to square one! "Natalia, you've got to have some conscience."

Natalia paused before replying, "Then consider me heartless."

Hamilton choked up, pushing down the turmoil inside. He asked quietly, "I heard your mother woke up?" "Yes, she did."

"Congratulations."

Natalia smiled, thanking him, then pulled away to enter the hospital room.

Hamilton quickly stepped in front of her. "I'd like to see her."

Natalia stiffened.

"Forget it."

She really didn't want Tatiana to know how the medical bills had been paid all these years.
