Echoes Of a Forsaken Heart

Chapter 299

Hamilton stood there with a frosty expression, "Why didn't you tell me sooner?"

Killian seemed a bit down, "I had to make sure if she was just seeing off the Joyner kid or if she was leaving too."

"She left with Ronin?"

"Yeah."

Hamilton's face turned sour in an instant.

He ended the call, about to turn away when Scarlett suddenly called out to him.

"Hamilton, can we talk?"

Hamilton looked at Scarlett, his gaze heavy. After a long pause, he nodded.

"Go ahead."

Scarlett paused before speaking, "I guess you've figured it out. I'm just trying to tell you to keep your distance from Natalia. I know you probably don't want to hear this, but have you thought about the dangers you're bringing her?" Hamilton let out a bitter laugh.

"Dr. Scarlett, I admit I was at fault before with Natalia, but this time, I'm all in. I'll do everything in my power to protect them."

Scarlett scoffed.

"And how exactly are you planning to 'all in'? You always talk a good game. Don't think just because Natalia has feelings for you that you" "Even if it costs me my life, I won't let her get hurt again."

After saying that, he turned and walked away.

Scarlett stared at his retreating figure, wanting to scold him but suddenly found herself at a loss for words.

The way Hamilton spoke, it was as if he truly would die for Natalia.

After a moment, Scarlett muttered to herself, "Why now? If you had been this determined earlier, you two might have already tied the knot."

At the airport, Natalia received a call from Scarlett just before boarding.

"That jerk Hamilton probably went looking for you again."

Natalia's gaze fell, and she hummed in response, glancing at Killian pretending to be on a call not too far away.

It was only a matter of time before Hamilton would find out.

"Natalia, if Hamilton"

Scarlett wanted to say, if Hamilton really could handle the Fowler family's mess, then perhaps there was no need to reconsider.
