My Heart only Beats for You

Natalie paused.

As if the world had slowed down, Natalie sluggishly looked up at Benjamin and said, "Benjamin, what are you talking about?"

Benjamin choked back his sobs. "Miss Godfrey, the ship exploded. Everything within miles of the ship died, and we only made it out because of the special clothing and our distance from the ship." Natalie's eyes widened.

"Benjamin, you're lying, right?"

He did not speak, but his the expression on his face already told her everything she needed to know.

Natalie suddenly rushed up to Benjamin and exclaimed, "Why didn't you give the clothing to Tobias? Why?! If he'd worn it, he'd definitely be fine!"

Benjamin's eyes were red. "Miss Godfrey, we only had two sets of the clothing. Even if there were three sets, there was no way Mr. Whitlock could have worn it. He'd thought everything out. If he'd worn it before getting on the ship, they would've noticed immediately. Later on, when I went to get you out of there, they didn't search me because I was just his subordinate. However, even if I'd given the clothing to Mr. Whitlock at that time, they might have detonated the explosives while he was putting on the clothing. Anyway, nobody knows how well the clothing would have protected him since he was so close to the explosives. Miss Godfrey, Mr. Whitlock set his heart on protecting you!"

Natalie felt dizzy.

She squatted down, her shoulders trembling uncontrollably as she let out pained sobs.

"Tobias, why? Why did you do this? I'm not worth it!"

Natalie stayed in the hospital for a day and a night, and she neither ate nor drank.

Benjamin was by her side, trying to comfort her.

Tobias' email had given Benjamin instructions to take care of Natalie.

Therefore, his primary task was to bring Natalie out of her pain and sorrow.

However, he wasn't the greatest at comforting. The more he spoke, the worse things got.

"Miss Godfrey, don't be sad anymore. Mr. Whitlock said that he's finally paid off his debt to you, so don't be sad."

Benjamin's words made Natalie even more agitated.

Her tears kept falling.

She understood what Tobias meant.

What he said that he owed her were undoubtedly the effects caused by that misunderstanding.
