Echoes Of a Forsaken Heart
Chapter 296
Chapter 296
Natalia could barely make out what Alden was saying from the other end of the phone. Her lips were pressed tightly together, her fingernails digging into her palms. Just as she expected.
She glanced at Hamilton before asking in a low voice, "Who is it this time? The Schafer family? The Powell family? Or is it your Fowler family?"
Hamilton, his gaze dropping to her pale face, felt a wave of guilt so intense it was almost physical. "No matter who it is, I'll find them and deal with them," he assured her. Natalia looked at him, wanting to ask, "And what about next time?" But the words never left her mouth. Despite everything, he had helped her today.
"Thank you," she finally said after a long silence, her voice barely above a whisper.
That 'thank you' pierced Hamilton's heart. She used to thank him all the time, always polite yet distant. He never understood the emotions behind those words, how she felt saying them. He was annoyed by her cool demeanor back then, by her reluctance to let him in. He never realized the extent of his neglect and harshness towards her, nor how she coped with seeing him dote on Eveleen.
Now, looking at Natalia, Hamilton was reminded of how fragile she had been after their lost child, her desperation to keep the baby even if it meant raising it alone. He had coldly declared, "A child not blessed by its parents shouldn't exist," a statement he once believed in, even if he later regretted it.
Hamilton didn't know how Natalia could still accept him after all that had happened. He felt like a complete jerk for trampling over the courage she had mustered to reach out to him. He had thought visiting Eveleen was necessary, to give her closure, but he hadn't anticipated the cruel joke fate would play on him.
He wanted to apologize to Natalia, to tell her he had been wrong, but the damage was already done. The apology seemed too cheap now.
"Natalia, I'm just doing what I should," Hamilton said after a moment, his voice heavy.
"Hamilton, the best thing you could do is stay away from me. Haven't you noticed? Every time I get hurt, it's because of you. So please, just stay away, okay?" Natalia's voice was firm, her decision made.
Hamilton grabbed her wrist, his eyes showing no sign of backing down. "Do you really think that if I'm not around, those people won't harm you? If they're after you, my presence or absence won't make a difference. I can protect you only if I'm by your side."
He pulled her into his arms, whispering, "I can't feel at peace unless I know you and the child are safe. Natalia, if not for yourself, then for the sake of our child."
The mention of the child only made Natalia scoff. "Child? Hamilton, you couldn't even care for your fiancée, your woman, and now you talk of a child? Isn't it too late for that?"
Pushing him away, she declared, "Don't come looking for me again. This time, I won't look back."
