Echoes Of a Forsaken Heart

Chapter 234

Hamilton cradled the woman in his arms, his heart aching for her struggles.

For years, she had tirelessly protected Tatiana, and he knew it better than anyone.

Yet, it seemed someone always begrudged her happiness.

He held her close, gently soothing her with soft pats.

It was only after Natalia had cried her heart out and calmed down that Hamilton spoke again.

"I've got everything arranged. I've even sent someone to look for that physical therapist."

Natalia nodded, then remembered something.

"How are you feeling?"

Hamilton couldn't help but chuckle, "Not great. I might need a kiss to cure me."

Natalia, taken aback at first, then realizing his jest, pushed him lightly.

"If you're feeling unwell, you should see a doctor. I'm alright now."

Her calm demeanor reassured Hamilton. The chaos of the moment before seemed to have dissipated with her tears.

He wasn't sure when she had grown so independent of him.

Yet, seeing her like this didn't bring him any comfort.

He sighed softly. "Natalia, this is the time to lean on others."

Natalia bit her lip, managing a faint smile. "Hamilton, if you weren't here, I'd probably be more panicked."

His face lit up at her words, and he pulled her into a tight embrace. "I'm so glad you can share that with me."

Indeed, Hamilton had thought of everything.
