Turning Of the Tide by Diana Sander

Chapter 176

Standing at the top of the mountain indeed made Natalie Foster’s thoughts much clearer. The pain in her heart had also diminished a lot. She released her emotions to nature.

As she listened to the melodious bird chirping and the sounds of nature in the environment, these musical notes calmed her heart. Every beat was like the rhythmic ticking of a metronome.

Natalie could temporarily forget all her worries, but it was also only temporary.

Trevon Wilson was an eyesore, however. He maintained his languid posture and leaned against the pillar, but his gaze was fixed on Natalie. He opened his mouth and said, ‘Let’s chat”

It was rare that there were only the two of them. He was greedy and wanted to get closer to her.

Natalie turned around with a slightly puzzled look. She did not know what he wanted to talk about. “Hmm? What do you want to chat about?”

Trevon quietly moved closer to her and leaned against the railing just one to two inches away from her. “Why did you choose to study medicine?” Actually, he wanted to ask why Natalie chose to major in neurosurgery. He remembered that he had asked this question two years ago, but she had no intention of answering, so he did not persist in probing.

She liked to ride motorcycles and liked excitement. She didn’t look like someone who would like the profession of a doctor. After a moment of silence, a rare scornful smile appeared on Natalie’s lips. It was very dazzling. “You want to understand.

Trevon didn’t deny it. From her dazzling smile, he felt that the reason probably wasn’t noble, but he still wanted to understand. “Yes.”

After saying that, Trevon did not get Natalie’s answer immediately.

Minutes and seconds ticked by. He thought she wouldn’t answer.

After half a minute, Natalie opened her mouth and said calmly, “When I was 10 years old, my mother jumped off a building and hit her head on the ground. She died on the spot. That image had been haunting me for more than 10 years. This was also the reason I smoked. I couldn’t tell my grandfather about my lingering nightmares. Every time I slept, I would wake up with a start at midnight. It was as if the bloody scene was in front of my bed. After 1 reached adulthood, I gradually developed the habit of smoking when I was frustrated. It was only when I was pregnant with Jasper that I quit smoking. At that time, I wondered whether I could have saved my mother if I were a neurosurgeon.”

There was no change in Natalie’s expression as she spoke. It was as if she was talking about someone else’s family, but every word hit Trevon’s heart until his chest felt suffocated. He did not know that she majored in neurosurgery because of her mother’s brain injury, nor did he know that she smoked because she would often recall that heartbreaking scene. He wanted to hug her.

asked, “What’s wrong with Mr. Caleb’s leg?” She remembered that there was something wrong with Caleb Wilson’s leg, but they were in a contractual relationship at that time, so she did not probe too deeply. Now that the two of them were asking each other openly,
