Chapter 289
A flash of light passed through Natalie's eyes. Was Tobias touched by her singing? Did he want her to go into his ward to sing?
"I know, Tobias wants me to go inside and sing for him, right?" Natalie entered with a happy look on her face.
Benjamin had a look of helplessness.
He initially thought that Natalie had lost her confidence.
It seemed that he was wrong.
Natalie was now a little overconfident.
Tobias was utterly speechless inside the ward.
"Tobias, what song would you like to hear? I'll sing for you."
"There's no need forthat."
"What? I thought you called me in to listen to my voice? Don't you want to hear my melodious singing?"
Tobias coughed heavily. "Natalie, why do you suddenly want to sing?"
Natalie smiled as if she was encouraging herself. "Because I want to be confident again!"
Tobias fixed his gaze on her.
Natalie raised her little fist. "Tobias, I realized something. During this period of time, I lost myself and I've changed. I want to be myself again. I want to go back to being the confident Natalie I once
was!"
Seeing Natalie's confident look, Tobias raised his eyebrows and no emotions could be seen in his dark eyes.
But he thought of something.
He knew that it was not Natalie who had changed.
It was just that too many things had happened and her deep sense of inferiority was exposed.
From her original environment, it was impossible for her to be seemingly perfect.
She only hid her inferiority deep inside her heart.
This time, Tobias' anger at her was not a bad thing for her.
Tobias realized that the more he tolerated her so unconditionally, the more riled up her emotions would be.
She would only get more and more extreme.
Gradually, she would feel like they were not compatible for each other.
Tobias believed that Natalie was a smart girl. She would soon understand lots of things if she just stopped overthinking like this.
"Do you need to bring along all those wigs of yours?" Tobias suddenly asked in a calm voice.
Natalie touched her head, embarrassed. She said, "Yeah, we can try that."
After saying that, she suddenly burst into laughter.
Tobias smiled slightly.
It was very late at night.
Natalie realized a big problem.
That problem was that she wanted to go to sleep.
Tobias, on the other hand, was still very energetic. He stared at his laptop, reading a document.
Natalie's eyelids almost closed.
"Ahem." She could not help it anymore and she let out a small cough.
Tobias glanced at her.
Natalie smiled drily. "Tobias, I'm going to rest, so I'm not going to take care of you any longer. I'll find a room to sleep in."
Tobias pointed at his bed and said, "Sleep here."
Natalie was shocked.
This was a ward. Was Tobias going to do indecent things to her?
As if he could read her thoughts, Tobias said calmly, "I won't do anything to you. I am injured, so I can't do anything even if I wanted to."
Natalie felt a stab in her heart.
She would never believe such nonsense coming from Tobias.
What did he mean by not being able to do anything even if he wanted to?
Back in the hotel, his injuries were bleeding profusely and she was scared out of her wits. Even so, wasn't Tobias still going all out on her?!
"I think I'll just sleep in another room."
"You are not allowed to."
"Why not? It's my freedom to sleep where I want."
"Why? Because I am your husband."
Looking into Tobias' terrifying eyes, Natalie was frightened.
The most important thing was that Natalie could not forget how Tobias got injured.
She seemed like a heartless woman.
In fact, only she herself knew just what a great woman she was.
So, it would be best to rely on Tobias. All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.
Natalie went towards his bed.
Tobias was in a VIP ward, so even the hospital bed was large. It was more than enough to accommodate two people.
"Alright then, I'm going to sleep," Natalie looked at Tobias and whispered.
He nodded.
Natalie shut her eyes.
At first, she began to feel a little nervous. She was afraid that Tobias would take advantage of her while she slept.
But he never did.
The only thing she could hear was Tobias' shallow breathing.
Natalie noticed something.
Before she fell asleep, Tobias would occasionally tap on the keyboard; it was an obvious sound.
But ever since she closed her eyes, she realized that the sound of typing on the keyboard could no longer be heard.
Natalie was touched by this.
She did not expect him to be aware of such a trivial matter.
The ripples in her heart spread.
Although the events that happened over the past two days made her feel that Tobias seemed a little strange, even his coldness and ruthlessness surprised her.
However, she could not deny the fact that he was constantly very considerate towards her.
When he loved someone, he would pamper and love that person to the moon and back.
Natalie fell asleep with these little thoughts.
Too many things had happened within these past two days and she was really tired.
In the middle of the night, Tobias closed his laptop. Then, he rubbed his tired eyes.
He looked at how soundly Natalie was sleeping.
Her thick and long eyelashes covered her eyes like a small fan. Her breathing was in line with her luscious pink lips. They opened and closed from time to time.
She looked extremely adorable.
She was so cute that it gave him the urge to become a father.
Tobias' body bent slightly; he wanted to peck a kiss on her.
"No, no, it hurts, it hurts." A muffled voice suddenly came out of her mouth.
She frowned slightly, as if she was enduring some kind of pain.
"It hurts, it hurts down there..." Natalie frowned and continued speaking in a low voice.
Her eyes were closed throughout.
Natalie did not wake up. She was talking in her sleep.
Tobias paused for a while.
After that, a trace of guilt flashed across his eyes.
He r*ped Natalie in the hotel.
Logically speaking, this was her second time, but even so, a long time had passed since her first time. The pain Natalie had suffered would not be less than what a virgin felt.
He should have been extremely gentle.
However, he did it in the cruelest way. He almost tortured her to death, too.
Tobias sighed.
On one hand, he was so infuriated that he found it hard to control himself.
On the other hand, he did not want Natalie to be so capricious.
But now, it seemed that it was quite useful.
At least, Natalie stopped saying nonsensical things like wanting to leave him.
At least she settled down a bit.
However, a few specks of light continued to dazzle in Tobias' eyes.
The pain Natalie felt would be engraved in her memories. He did not know how long he would have to coax her for her to agree to sleep with him again.
He did not know how long he had to persuade her to make her believe that it would feel good, and not just pain.
