Chapter 264

Author: Bodhi Blossom
Susan's heart felt heavy with guilt, knowing she'd been far from competent as a mother. If she were in Natalie's place, she doubted she could have forgiven a woman like herself.

Natalie reassuringly said, "It's all in the past, and you've paid the price for what happened. The Spencers are just reaping what they sowed. As for me, I'm doing just fine now, aren't I?"

Susan knew Natalie was just trying to comfort her, and she sighed softly. Deep down, she vowed to treat Natalie better from now on and spend the rest of her life making up for the love she owed.

…

That evening, Natalie intended to cook dinner, but Susan refused to let her lift a finger. She snatched the apron over, tied it around her waist, and happily bustled into the kitchen.

Natalie failed terribly in the argument and decided to let Susan have it her way.

Before Vera was hospitalized, Natalie had been planning to start an art gallery in Grendale. She'd been scouting locations for weeks and recently decided on the per

    Natalie's eyes widened. "You wouldn't dare."Daphne just responded with a cold, humorless laugh. "I've got nothing left to lose now. You did this to me, so just watch what you turned me into."She jabbed a finger at Natalie and continued, "Victor knows I'm not his biological mother now, so he's cut me off. He was supposed to marry into the Jaeger family, who promised five million dollars in wedding gifts. But he's turned it down, too."Just to take revenge on me, he's walking away from all that money and decided to marry that idiot. He's completely lost it!"So, that was it. Daphne was here just because Victor had confronted her and torn the truth wide open. Since the promised wedding gifts were gone, she was now played for a fool and left with nothing but empty hands.For once, Natalie had to admit Victor played it well, clean and sharp.A scornful sneer curled up at her lips, and she snapped back, "You're the crazy one here, Daphne. Even if Victor isn't your blood, you raised

    The attending physician—Julian Hayes—was a man in his 40s with senior standing in Grendale's medical circles. Being publicly humiliated by a young woman barely in her 20s was not something he could let slide.He turned to Natalie and said, "Ms. Sutton, I understand you're eager to get Ms. Chamberlain into surgery, but you can't just trust anyone who says they can do it. A craniotomy isn't a routine, minor surgery. The tumor is in a tricky location, and one slip could cost her life."The clear implication in his words was that Zora wasn't fit for the job.Natalie stayed silent as her gaze slid toward Zora. In truth, she was eager to see how the latter would respond.But Zora didn't bristle or flare up. If anything, she looked almost unbothered. "Ms. Sutton, don't you want to know how confident I am about this surgery?""So? How confident are you, Dr. Ryder?""A hundred percent," Zora declared with a smile.Julian barked out a mocking laugh. "A hundred percent? Even for a minor ap

    Victor remembered Natalie once saying that Hugh had forced himself on Susan, making her give birth to Natalie. He hadn't believed it then. In his mind, Hugh had always been an untouchable hero. But with each ugly truth that came to light, the stories between Susan and Hugh from those years began to raise his doubts.Maybe Natalie had been right all along.Clenching his jaw, he curled his fists and said nothing.Without another word, he took Bethany's hand and walked her out. After sending her home, he headed straight for Grendale Prison.…Meanwhile, Natalie returned home, worn out and exhausted. After a hot shower, she melted onto her soft, cozy bed. Nothing beat home no matter how fun the outside world was.She'd just picked up her phone when a friend request popped up. The notification read "Aaron Jespier".She accepted the request, and a message came through almost immediately. "Hello, Ms. Sutton. I'm Aaron Jespier."She typed back, "Yeah. I know.""It's late. I hope I'm

    Victor glanced at Bethany and said a few things to her, and she began to amuse herself with whatever fun she could find by the window.When he turned back to Natalie, he shot the latter a grim look. "What did you want to talk about?"He'd shoved his hands into his pockets and didn't so much as meet Natalie's gaze. She didn't mind his surly behavior and only cut a look at Bethany before asking, "Word has it that you slept with Bethany. Is that true? I didn't think you'd be so desperate, Victor."Natalie knew Victor well enough. To the best of her knowledge, he hadn't dated anyone in the last few years. His personality aside, one had to credit him for being chaste and having a high moral ground.From what Natalie remembered, he used to have a crush on a young lady who didn't reciprocate his feelings. She went abroad and settled down with a foreigner after that.How could someone like Victor, whose dating history was practically nonexistent, harbor any illicit intentions for Bethany?

    After leaving Vera's room, Natalie spotted Bethany walking around aimlessly. She walked up to the clueless Bethany and asked, "Why are you alone? Where's Victor?"Startled, Bethany asked, "Y-You know Victor?"Natalie nodded, following up with, "Are you lost?"Her face full of panic, Bethany asked, "Miss, could you call Victor for me? I can't find him, and I'm scared.""Okay," Natalie said, took out her phone, and called Victor.He picked up, sounding impatient. "I'm busy right now, so whatever it is you called me for, spit it out."Annoyed by his tone, Natalie said, "Bethany's with me. We're outside Room 1208."Having said that, she hung up before Victor could even respond. She glanced at Bethany. "Let's give him a few minutes to come get you, alright?"Bethany broke into a grin, her large eyes full of childlike awe, the likes of which Natalie had never seen before. "Thank you, pretty lady. You're a really kind person."Perhaps it was Bethany's endearing nature that made Natal
