From Divorce To Dominance (Natalie Xavier)

Chapter

79

Five years ago, when he fell into a coma, he remembered hearing those exact words.

At that time, he had injured his eyes and couldn't see anything. All he could sense was a weak light, realizing someone was nearby.

Having gone through a huge change, he felt like a frightened animal. His instinct was to flee from anyone unfamiliar. But after falling from such a height and suffering multiple fractures, he was too weak to even crawl. "Stop squirming around. It's not a good look." A cheerful, teasing voice echoed at that moment. "In my territory, where do you think you're going?" Then the sound of footsteps grew closer until they stopped right in front of him. He heard a girl clucking her tongue and then speaking softly to someone else. Overwhelmed and in Over

and in pain, he struggled to hold on, his eyelids getting heavier by the second. Just before he lost consciousness entirely, he heard that same arrogant phrase once more. You're lucky to have met me." Darren had no idea how long he had been unconscious. When he finally came to, someone told him he had been rescued. They reassured him not to be scared and said they had already fixed his eyesight. In just over a month, he would see the light again. The one who saved him was Vivian. She said she found him by the beach, but he vaguely remembered falling into the mountains, though he couldn't be sure.

When he fell into the hands of those people, they injected him with an unknown drug. It caused his head to pound and made him see things that weren't there. At its worst, he felt his heart racing and sweat pouring down, leaving him unconscious. So, he thought that falling into the mountains was just a hallucination. And the phrase he heard before he blacked out must have been just a figment of his dying mind.

Years went by, and his life finally got back on track. He was about to forget that most humiliating and helpless time when he suddenly heard those same words again. This time, they were spoken in the exact tone he remembered, uncaring yet filled/ with wild audacity. What s tshocked him the most was that the person saying these words was Natalie. He thought, 'How could that be? Is it just a coincidence, or...? Darren's emotions churned, and his mind clouded. His gaze cut through the crowd to fixate on the woman at the

the center.

She was still wearing half a fox mask, so he couldn't see her expression clearly.

But for some reason, he felt she must still look calm, just like she always did when she looked at him **lly, with a touch of rebellious disdain and pride.

Darren pressed his lips together, gripping his hands tightly,

Despite being surrounded by so many people, Natalie appeared completely unfazed. While swiftly loosening the elderly man's collar and belt, she calmly asked the woman, "Has he ever suddenly fallen before?"

The woman was a bundle of nerves, panicking and answering without thinking. "Yes! Over a month ago, he just collapsed, but he didn't pass out, so we didn't think much of it. Natalie nodded. She reached out and pinched the old man's arm gently. Instantly, he let out a low groan.

The woman, seeing this, shot her hand up in a panic, trying to stop her, but in her fluster, she inadvertently hit Natalie in the face, pulling off her mask.
