Turning Of The Tide (Natalie and Trevon)

Chapter 174

Chapter 174

After settling Jenny’s funeral, they went straight to Athana Hospital. Lena was already awake while

Ethan White was still in a

coma

As soon as Natalie Foster got out of the car, she saw Sherri Landor standing at the entrance, looking

around anxiously. Hackett Blackwell stood beside her with a solemn expression. His face did not show

the usual cheeky smile.

Natalie alighted from Trevon Wilson’s Maybach car in a black dress. When she saw this sight, Sherri

did not find it strange. Instead, her impression of Trevon changed a lot.

Sherri had already applied for leave yesterday with the intention to keep her best friend company, but

that fellow Hackett refused to leave her alone no matter what. He clung to her like a piece of sticky

candy. It turned out that he was sacrificing himself for his good friend.

When she saw her best friend alight. Sherri quickly went forward and held her arm. She sized up

Natalie’s face and saw that she looked much more haggard. “Why didn’t you tell me when Jenny was

going to be buried?”

Natalie honestly hadn’t thought of this. After finding out that her son had met with a mishap, her mind

was a mess. Coupled with the images this morning, she was already on the verge of breaking down.

“I’m sorry. My mind hasn’t been working well these past few days. I’m already clear-headed now” She

knew what to do now.

Sherri knew that her best friend was upset, so she let it go. How could Natalie still take into

consideration so many things when she encountered such a major incident? Sherri was already

grateful that Natalie did not break down. “It’s fine. I don’t mind. It’s good that you’re fine.”

Sherri decided to pay her respects to Jenny the next day. Back in Sapphire City, Jenny also did her

best to help take care of Ruby.

Sherri’s heart was filled with gratitude, and at this moment, she didn’t feel good either. When she heard

Hackett tell her the whole story, she still felt a lingering fear. Fortunately, Jasper was safe and sound.

Otherwise, her best friend would have gone crazy. However, Jenny’s passing might leave an emotional

knot in Natalie’s heart. “Where’s Jasper? Do you want to bring him to my house and let my mother take

care of him for a while?”

Natalie didn’t hide anything. “He’s at the Wilson’s residence.”

Sherri thought that was a good arrangement. The Wilson’s residence was more suitable for Jasper.

There was no place safer than the Wilson’s residence and there was Grandpa Wilson protecting the

little one.

Trevon and Hackett followed closely behind the two women as they walked side by side. The men

watched them as they whispered to each other.

Hackett spoke up. “Frank said that he hasn’t found out who was the mastermind. The truck driver was

diagnosed with severe depression before the accident

The anger in Trevor’s heart surged. He pressed his tongue against his molars and said icily, “How

about that cell phone

number”

“It’s from overseas Hackett wished vehemently that Mia Sullivan was not responsible for this, but the

country the phone number had been tracked to was Haililand. This made him very vexed.

There was hostility in Trevon’s voice. “Mia Sullivan?”

Hackett suppressed his anger and his expression was not pleasant either. Tm not sure. The location is

indeed at that place”

Trevon’s eyes were fixed on Hackett. The implication was obvious. Hackett felt a chill down his spine.

He sighed. “If it’s her, I won’t ask you to give her a chance again. It’s up to you.”

If Mia insisted on dicing with Death, Death would eventually embrace her. What could Hackett do? He

couldn’t possibly bribe Death, could he?

After receiving Hackett’s reply, Trevon strode toward the ward and ignored the fellow behind him who

kept running his fingers through his hair madly with a dejected expression.

Hackett followed right behind. He was very vexed and cursed Mia a hundred times for causing him

trouble even before he had confirmed that Mia was responsible.

Yesterday’s traffic accident was so sudden that Frank didn’t have time to tell Hackett who was the

mastermind responsible for Mia’s leg injury. He was already as busy as a beaver.

Natalie and Sherri walked into the general ward. Trevon did not follow them in as he was worried that

Lena would feel uncomfortable. If the two women wanted to talk, he would be a fifth wheel if he

followed them in. He leaned against the door frame, took out a cigarette, and gripped it between his

lips. He wanted to light it but gave up again. Then he stuffed the intact cigarette back.

Natalie pulled a stool and sat beside the bed. Lena slowly opened her eyes when she saw someone

enter. The corners of her lips twitched as she tried her best to maintain a smile.

When she saw how pale and drained of color Lena was, a sense of guilt rose involuntarily in Natalie’s

heart. In such a short

period of time, she changed from an active and lively person to one lying on the bed. Another had

already gone to heaven

while the other was uncoNS JOUS

Lena’s lips were a little dry Natale restrained all her emotions and asked gently. “Lena, do you want

ome water?”

Sherri sat by the bed and smoothed the blanket for Lena She felt an indescribably awful feeling in her

heart.

Lena shook her head. Her voice was discernably weak. 1 Mr. Jasper injured?”

Lena herself was hospitalized, yet the first thing she said when she woke up was to inquire about

Jasper’s well-being Ho could Natalie still hold back her emotions Her eyes became slightly red-rimmed

and her vision became blurred. She gulped a few times with her tensed-up throat and sniffled twice.

Jasper is very safe. You guys protected him so well. How could be be insured”

Upon hearing this. Lena’s lips curled up and she smiled with relief. “That’s good. How’s Jenny?” Lena

remembered that Jenny was protecting them at the outermost ring. Her injuries should be more serious

than hers.

Sherri was someone who got sentimental easily and she could not suppress her emotions. She had

already turned around and was sobbing. The more she sobbed, the more she could not hold it in. In the

end, she decided to leave in case her actions aroused Lena’s suspicions. It was better to tell Lena after

she had recovered

When Hackett saw that his make-believe girlfriend was weeping, the frustration he had just soothed

over surged up again. He asked patiently. “Lena can’t make it, is it?”

Sherri suddenly raised her voice “You’re the one who can’t make it. I’m just very moved” She was really

moved

Why couldn’t good people be rewarded: How come bad people could live such long lives? Didn’t they

say that the good would be rewarded, and the evil would be punished-

When Hackett saw how Sherri cried until her makeup ran, he reached into his pocket to search for a

tissue. After fumbling for a long time, he couldn’t find a single piece of tissue. He stretched out an arm Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

in front of Sherri and asked, “Do you need my shirt to wipe your tears? It’s new”

The next second. Sherri wiped her tears and snot on Hackett’s brand-new shirt without hesitation. After

wiping, she even said. “Remember to bring tissue next time Your shurt is too stiff”

Hackett had no choice since this was his make-believe girlfriend that he got for himself. “Alright. I’ll buy

in bulk next time and carry them with me.”

Trevon could not bear to look at the two of them, nor was he in the mood to ask when they got

together. Right now, his mund was filled with the woman inside. As they said, out of sight, out of mind.

When he found the flirting by those two a bit of an eyesore, he simply walked further away.

There were only Natalie and Lena left in the ward. Natalie calmed herself down and told a lie. “Lena,

don’t worry Jenny is fine She’s doing quite well. You have to follow the doctor’s instructions and recover

as soon as possible. Jasper is still clamoring for you.”

“Sigh Okay How long have I been lying here I kind of miss Mr. Jasper

Jasper masses you too. Lena. I want to tell you something. See if you are agreeable. Jenny has

already given her approval”

Lena was a little doubtful “Miss Natalie, please tell me.”

Natalie smiled brightly like a blooming flower. “I want to acknowledge you as my godmother Jenny has

already given her consent. You won’t object, will you?”

Lena was dumbstruck. This was Miss Natalie. Lena and Jenny were only hired to be her nannies. How

could she let the child from her employer’s family address her as godmother? How could Lena allow

this?

Lena shook her head slightly, indicating that she would not and could not allow it.

Natalie already expected this response. She then explained. “I knew you would object, so I want to

acknowledge both you and Jenny as my godmothers Is that okay?”

She ignored Lena’s objection and said tirelessly, “I lost my mother at the age of ten. It was you and

Jenny who helped raise me. Now, you’re the ones who helped rane Jasper. You are worthy of being my

godmother. I’ll take care of you in your old age until the end. And I’m still counting on you to help me

raise Jasper”

The tears at the corner of Lena’s eyes were like precious pearls that had broken off a necklace that

kept falling off heedlessly. “Miss Natalie” What did she do to deserve such a sensible daughter’

Natalie rebuked Lena and corrected the way she addressed Natalie. “Godmother, that’s wrong. Call me

Natalie from now on. You can’t call me Miss Natalie anymore You can’t use Mr. Jasper either. You have

to call him Jasper.”

“Ah, all right”

Natalie took out a tissue and helped Lena wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes. Her own vision

was blurred but the corners of her mouth curled into a beautiful smile.

Lena had just undergone surgery and should not tire herself out, so Natalie didn’t talk to her much and

left soon. The first

thing she did once outside was to cancel her leave.

She walked straight to her superior’s office. She had only taken a few steps when she was pulled back

by a hand from a corner. Not surprisingly, it was Trevon. He asked suspiciously, “Where are you

going?”

Natalie seemed to have made a decision. “I’m canceling my leave,” she said firmly.

Trevon had just helped Natalic apply for half a month’s leave, yet she was going to cancel it. She was

not in a state to go back to work yet. “I applied for half a month’s leave for you.”

Natalie said. “I know. That’s why I’m canceling my leave.”

Trevon’s tone softened and he compromised as he said, “Rest for another week.”

“No.” Natalie could only lure the snake out of its hole by going to work normally. If she hid at home, the

troublemaker would not show its face.

As he looked at her resolute attitude, Trevon frowned and became suspicious. He panicked and asked,

“What do you intend to do?”

“Catch the snake.”

The next second, Trevon’s expression turned frosty as he objected. “Are you crazy? I said I’ll take care

of the matter.”

Natalie took a deep breath and voiced out her thoughts. “Trevon, their target is not only Jasper but also

me. Jasper is very safe in the Wilson’s residence now and nothing will happen to him. I’m not worried

about that. But if I hide too, the snake won’t come out of the hole. I don’t want to live in fear, and I don’t

want to gamble on which will arrive first, tomorrow or an accident.”

She wanted to live safe and well. And she wanted everyone who loved her and those she loved to be

healthy and happy, be it Lena or Ethan.

The other party’s intentions were obvious. He wanted their lives. Therefore, if Natalie still hid, she

wouldn’t be Natalie Foster.

Trevon knew that once Natalie had made a decision, she would not change her mind. She was very

stubborn. Two years ago, he already realized that. When she decided to get a divorce, she did not stay

overnight and left just like that.

Helplessly, Trevon consented with a stony expression. “I’ll send someone to protect you in secret.

Natalie did not object to this and did not force herself to act tough. She still had Jasper to think of and

could not let anything happen to herself.
