Echoes Of a Forsaken Heart

Chapter 226

Natalia finally exhaled a sigh of relief as she entered the restroom.

Hamilton was a man she knew all too well.

If he truly aimed to charm a woman, there was hardly anyone who could resist.

She clenched her fingers tightly, a bitter sweetness flashing in her eyes.

Yet, she couldn't quite muster the courage anymore.

Silently observing her reflection in the mirror, perhaps due to the wine, her cheeks were flushed with red. Her body felt waves of heat.

She splashed her face with cold water, calming her emotions before turning to leave.

However, just as she reached the door, someone suddenly covered her mouth and nose from behind.

Natalia struggled fiercely for a moment before losing consciousness.

The person, seeing her pass out, pulled out a hat and draped a large, baggy dress over her.

As the restroom door swung open, the person carried her outside.

"You should've listened to me and not drunk so much."

A waiter, noticing the scene, hurried over to assist.

"There's a lounge upstairs. Would you need to rest there?"

The person chuckled, "No need, I've booked a room upstairs for her."

The waiter quickly nodded, "There's an elevator directly to the upstairs here; let me press it for you."

After pressing the elevator button in the corner, the person carried Natalia inside.

As the elevator doors closed, they cut off Hamilton's gaze, which had just turned their way.

"Mr. Fowler?"

Seeing him distracted, someone couldn't help but call out.

Hamilton turned back with a smile, "Ah, I've got something to take care of. Let's catch up another time."

The other person, feeling somewhat disappointed since his social standing hardly afforded him chances to chat with Hamilton, could nonetheless tell that Hamilton was somewhat preoccupied. "Then Mr. Fowler, please go ahead."

Hamilton nodded and made his way towards the restroom.

Natalia had been inside for quite some time now.

He glanced at a nearby waiter, "Could you check if Ms. Jenkins has run into any trouble inside?"

The waiter promptly responded.
