"My return to the company is to be postponed," Tobias interrupted Benjamin's rant.
"But Mr. Whitlock, it's going to be a mess if things go on like this."
Beep, Beep, Beep.
Tobias had already ended the call.
The evening soon arrived, and Tobias was currently standing in front of Natalie.
"Natalie, time for a shower, okay?"
She had not taken any showers during the few days when she was hospitalized.
She nodded. Even in her current state, she could still smell the strange stench coming from her body.
He brought her into the bathroom.
He helped her remove her clothes.
Natalie's eyes trembled in response.
Tobias softly assured her, "Natalie, I'm here to help you. I won't do anything else."
She lowered her head.
He first rinsed her hair.
His fingers moved very gently. He then wiped her body down as well.
All of his actions were completely devoid of lust.
At the end of everything, he helped her put on her clothes.
Natalie was in her pajamas now, and she looked like a rag doll without a soul.
Tobias then followed her upstairs.
At night, he held her tightly in his arms.
In the middle of the night, she suddenly started nuzzling herself deeper into his embrace.
He felt dampness on his body.
His hand went to caress her face, only to find that it was soaked with tears.
"Natalie, don't cry." Tobias' lips lightly grazed Natalie's face. Little by little, he kissed away the tears that streaked down her face.
With her hand gripped tightly in his, he said, "Natalie, I'll stay with you forever."
