My Heart only Beats for You

In the ICU, Selina blabbered on to Natalie, basically asking her to leave right this instant.

However, Natalie refused outright.

Cecilia had already expected such a response.

She had already guessed that persuading Natalie would not be so easy. However, she did not expect Natalie to be so insistent. No matter how much Selina begged and urged, there was no room for negotiation at all.

Selina panicked. She glared at Natalie. "Natalie, if you don't leave now, you're going to end up in Pelham River tomorrow, and your corpse will forever be stuck there! Is that what you want? You're still so young, with a bright future ahead of you. Do you really want to become just another corpse floating in Pelham River?"

Natalie's lashes fluttered.

She said clearly, "I won't leave. I want to be with him."

She wanted to stay with Tobias no matter what.

She would never leave him, dead or alive.

Selina finally lost her patience. "Natalie, are you out of your mind? There's no way that Tobias is going to wake up tomorrow with the way things are right now! My mom has already asked the doctor, and there's no chance of that happening! You're just asking to get killed by staying here! How can you be so stupid!"

Selina felt like she was going to die of exasperation.

This time was different from before. Peter was taking things seriously this time.

Selina and Cecilia wouldn't be able to stop him, and Natalie was going to die for sure.

Now that there was an obvious way out for Natalie, how could she not take the opportunity?

In contrast to Selina's panic and frustration, Natalie was silent.

She said calmly, "Whether he wakes up or not, I won't leave."

At this, Selina let out a frustrated cry and pulled at her hair in exasperation.
