My Heart only Beats for You

Natalie held her breath.

"Say that again!"

"I know who Grandma's father is, he's very good at basketball."

"Hayden, what's his name?!" Natalie raised her voice abruptly.

Hayden was taken aback.

He said, "His name is Santiago Lawson. Natalie, what's wrong? Are you angry? You don't have to bring me to see him, then."

Natalie felt her brain buzzing.

Her mind was reeling and in a complete mess.

"Hayden, I have something going on, let's end the call for now, alright?" Natalie simply couldn't continue her conversation with Hayden.

"Natalie, don't be angry. You don't have to bring me to see him." Hayden thought that it was his request to meet and play basketball with Santiago that made her angry.

"I'm not angry. I'm hanging up, Hayden." Natalie hung up the phone in a hurry.

Her fingers were trembling, her eyes twitching.

Her mind was in chaos.

Meanwhile, Tobias came out of the kitchen.

He cooked two dishes which he had just learned just for Natalie.

Natalie was waiting in the living room, not at the dining table.

Tobias hesitated for half a second. He didn't call Natalie to come to the dining table. Instead, he went straight to the shower.

He closed the shower door to ensure that no one outside could hear him.

Tobias made a call.

"How's the investigation going?" he asked in a low voice.

"We've looked into it, Mr. Whitlock. There was indeed a shooting incident in the United States which happened in the year you had mentioned. The man who was shot was named Zeavier Harington, a citizen of the United States. Back then, he had a wife who was expecting soon. After finding out what befell him, she shot herself in the mouth and committed suicide. Thankfully, the child in her womb was born in time. That child was sent to an orphanage, which was also the same one that you mentioned."

Tobias' heart sank.
