Suddenly, Natalie felt an excruciating pain reverberating from her stomach.

Her face blanched as she curled up in agony.

"Natalie, what's wrong?" Tobias stopped moving.

She clutched her stomach and groaned, "Mr. Whitlock, my stomach hurts so much."

Natalie was hit by a wave of agonizing pain she had never felt before.

The private doctor in the villa examined Natalie and suggested she be sent to the hospital for a further check-up.

Natalie's heart jolted upon hearing his words.

She always thought that Whitlock family's private doctor was very professional. A few days ago, she had a little cold. She called him for a prescription, and quickly recovered after taking his medicine.

But now, after hearing the doctor's advice that she should go to the hospital for a check-up, and the pain was like no pain she had ever felt-

irrational chills went down her spine as she shivered. Could it be cancer?

Was it abdominal cancer? Or something else?

Earlier that morning, she had just read about news of a girl getting stomach cancer because she consumed too much instant noodles.

Natalie was a glutton when it came to food, and she ate almost everything. When she lived alone in her apartment, she often ate midnight snacks from food stalls with Yvonne. Had she really gotten an incurable disease?

The more she thought about it, the more believable it sounded in her head.

She felt as the whole sky was crumbling down.

On the way to the hospital, Natalie looked at Tobias with tears in her eyes, stammering. "Mr. Whitlock, do you think I have stomach cancer or something like that?"

Tobias could not find the words to answer her.

It would be impossible for her to get cancer since she had always been in such good health.

Tobias thought it was probably the seafood they had for dinner.

Cecilia cooked seafood, and Natalie was greedy, so she had eaten a lot that night.

"Natalie, that's your paranoia talking. Don't overthink it. It's nothing." He held her hand gently.
