Echoes Of a Forsaken Heart

Chapter 217

Natalia stood in silence for a moment before finally speaking up, "I just can't, Hamilton. Our relationship... I can't bring it up to my mom."

Hamilton felt a lump in his throat, suddenly at a loss for words.

Natalia forced a smile, "Drive safe on your way back."

After she spoke, she grabbed her phone and returned to her room.

Standing behind the door for a while, Natalia then walked over to Tatiana's side.

Tatiana weakly lifted her hand and pointed outside.

Natalia sat beside the bed, holding her hand, "Mom, it was just a friend."

The nurse by their side exclaimed, "Oh, Natalia, you don't know, that Mr. Fowler just now, he's been chasing after our Natalia, and quite persistently at that." Tatiana looked at Natalia.

Natalia lowered her eyes, "Mom, I don't like him."

Hamilton, standing outside, suddenly chuckled.

He took a deep breath, unable to shake off the bitterness in his heart.

For a moment, he had thought about saying, "What if I offer you commitment?"

But the words died on his lips.

Commitment, marriage, it all seemed too far-fetched for him.

He couldn't offer it.

And now, thinking about it, even if he was willing to offer, Natalia might not even want it.

Hamilton didn't leave but spent the whole night smoking downstairs.

Feeling excluded by someone from their past was anything but pleasant.

This feeling of being rejected, abandoned, and concealed as if one's existence was inconvenient was like rolling in shards of glass. Painful.

So painful it numbed him.

Never had he been so acutely aware of it.

Natalia had truly kicked him out of her life.

As dawn broke, Alden's call came through.

"Bro, they found the old lady."

Hamilton leaned back in his chair, taking a long while before responding, "Got it."

Natalia spent the night in the hospital with Tatiana.

Early next morning, she received a call from Tess.

"Boss, the driver's been arranged. He'll pick you up directly today."
