Echoes Of a Forsaken Heart

Chapter 240

Hamilton had just finished sorting things out with Lucinda and headed back to the hospital.

Stepping out of the elevator, he spotted Natalia standing at the ICU entrance, deep in conversation with a doctor. Instead of approaching her immediately, Hamilton made a detour to wash his hands before joining her side.

"Did you get to see your mom?" he asked.

Natalia nodded.

"How did things go with Lucinda?"

Hamilton briefed Natalia on the situation.

Natalia paused for a moment.

"So, you're saying the person who kidnapped my mom... it wasn't her?"

Hamilton's gaze flickered, "Not necessarily. The question about the video caught her off guard, but if she was behind the kidnapping, she would have been prepared. Still, it's too early to say. Let's see if she reveals anything else." Natalia nodded, "What did you do with Lucinda?"

Hamilton's eyes twinkled mischievously, "I sent her to a nice place."

Natalia frowned, "What nice place?"

Hamilton chuckled, "A place with room and board, where she can enjoy herself."

As they spoke, Hamilton guided her back to the patient room.

"I'm exhausted. Need to rest for a bit."

With that, Hamilton began to undress right in front of Natalia, changing into hospital attire before attempting to lie down on the bed.

Natalia was taken aback, "Go rest in your room."

But Hamilton was already lying down and showed no intention of moving.

"Just let me rest here for a while."

Seeing his pale face, Natalia ultimately didn't have the heart to send him away.

Hamilton was indeed exhausted. Having lost a lot of blood and just undergone surgery, it was remarkable he was even up and about.

So, it didn't take long for him to fall asleep.

Natalia was torn between waking him and letting him be. Eventually, she called Alden.
