My Heart only Beats for You

There was another moment of silence.

This time, none of them spoke any further and there was only silence in the air.

Hours passed. Tobias waited outside the emergency room, pacing up and down.

Natalie was going to tell him to leave, but she stopped herself. She had no right to tell him that.

Initially, he had stayed back because of her, but now, he was here for Remington.

Remington was his younger brother, after all.

Late in the evening, the doctor approached them with a relieved smile on his face. Remington's condition had finally stabilized, and he was no longer in critical condition.

Natalie heaved a huge sigh of relief. She felt like a heavy burden had been lifted off her shoulders.

Thank God Remington was safe.

"Remington is not in critical condition anymore. You may leave with me now," Tobias suddenly said.

"No." Natalie refused without thinking.

She had never intended to follow Tobias home. After all, Remington was now suffering because of her. Even if his condition had stabilized, she still couldn't leave him. To leave him after all that happened would be inhumane.

Tobias's eyes bored intensely at her. "I'll send someone to take care of him, and I will make sure that he gets the best care. It is not your duty to watch over him. You're my woman. Remember your place." Clenching her fists, Natalie tried to keep her breathing steady as she took a few breaths.

She pinned him with a determined gaze. "Mr. Whitlock, I must stay here. He is injured because of me. I must stay with him."

Tobias's eyes widened, incredulous.

He had no idea how or why Remington got injured, but he would never have guessed that he hurt himself because of Natalie.

"He went to the Amazon Jungle because of me. He was bit by a crocodile, and he almost died," she explained, her body trembling slightly.

Tobias narrowed his eyes, his jaw clenched.

His irked gaze sliced her face, interrogating. "Natalie, who is Remington to you?" Remington was bitten by a crocodile when he visited Amazon Jungle because of Natalie. Natalie, on the other hand, was so insistent on staying by Remington's side.

Tobias scoffed bitterly to himself, suddenly realizing how ironically things were unfolding.
