Chapter 268 Hector's Confession to Natalie

Emma's tears fell even faster as she asked, "Why do you keep asking me these questions, Hector? Is it only when I admit to it that you'll be satisfied?

"I didn't do anything! Why won't you believe me? Is it because I'm not your real sister? Because we don't share the same blood? Is that why you're so determined to push me to the edge?"

Seeing her in such a state, Hector knew it was pointless to continue. He got up and switched off the light in her ward.

"Get some rest," he said.

Emma clutched the white coat he was wearing. "Hector, I need to see Marcus. Please, I'm begging you to help me just this once. If you refuse to help me, then PH... P'H..."

She faltered, unable to come up with a real threat.

To her surprise, Hector agreed without hesitation. "I'll help you, Emma. But after you see Marcus, don't even think about coming home again."

Emma's eyes widened in disbelief. "What? Do you even realize what you're saying, Hector?"

"I know exactly what I'm saying, Emma. The question is-do you know what you're doing?" His voice lost its gentleness, turning steely and firm.

Emma would catch the warning in his words if she were wise enough. Yet, Hector wouldn't stop her if she decided to disregard it. He wasn't going to save someone who was bent on ruining themselves.

"I'll arrange for Marcus to see you once, Emma."

With that, he turned and walked out of the ward.

"Hector! Hector!" Emma called after him, but he never turned around.

Some words didn't need to be spoken again.
