My Heart only Beats for You

Natalie's eyes widened. "But there are still a lot of things that aren't clear yet. I waited so long for Jessie to wake up, but I barely spoke to her before we left, just like that. I still have a lot of questions to ask her! At this point, she only knew that her father had been shot to death, and that her mother committed suicide by gun after giving birth to her. Other than that, she was clueless. She didn't even know what her parents' names were, nor what they looked like.

Why had Tobias brought her back in such a hurry?

"She hasn't told me who my parents are yet. Does she have a photo of them? I haven't even seen the person who killed my father," Natalie said anxiously.

Tobias turned his eyes away from Natalie. "Natalie, forget it. The past is the past, there's no point in dwelling on it."

His words riled Natalie up once more. "What do you mean it's in the past? It's not over, how could it be over?"

"Calm down, Natalie," Tobias placed his hands onto hers and continued, "Then tell me, how is it not over yet? What do you still want to do? Do you want to seek revenge with the person who killed your father?" Natalie was at a loss for words.

After a moment, she shook her head bitterly. "No. How could I have such naive thoughts? It's just that... That person had killed my father and caused my mother to commit suicide. How am I supposed to act like nothing happened?"

"Natalie, he didn't kill your father out of a personal vendetta. He was just doing his job."

The bitterness in Natalie's expression grew. "I know that it was just his job, but that's from your perspective. It's different for me; I'm the daughter of the victim. How could I possibly view this the same as others?"

"Natalie," Tobias further lowered his voice. "No matter what happened, it's all over now."

Natalie bit her lip.

After a while, she pleaded earnestly with Tobias, saying, "Tobias, take me back to North Europe. I still have a lot of things to ask Jessie, and..."

Natalie paused. Her long, thick eyelashes couldn't stop trembling. "Help me find the army official who shot my father. I know that you have the ability to find him. Help me search for him, I want to see him." Natalie knew that Tobias could do anything. Helping her find the army official and arranging a meeting with him would be a piece of cake.

Natalie looked expectantly at Tobias.

However, he wasn't even looking at her.

He stood up and said, "Natalie, the weather is lovely today. Let's go out for a bit, we haven't gone for a night stroll in a long time."

Natalie's eyes were filled with disappointment.

She had a strange feeling, but she couldn't pinpoint it.

Somehow, she felt that Tobias was avoiding something.
