Chapter 340

작가: Bodhi Blossom
Natalie was silent for a moment, pondering her answer. She said blandly, "Rowan helped me a lot back when we were in Grendale. We gradually spent more time together, so perhaps I was fond of him at some point, but I certainly didn't love him.

"Besides, he promised me a billion dollars, an estate villa, land, and a yacht. It's hard not to be tempted by such a lucrative offer, so I agreed to marry him. But I did a lot of thinking today. He's a dying man. He and I won't have a future together.

"If that's the case, I won't go beyond my feelings for him and say I love him. I won't allow myself to wade into love's treacherous waters again and repeat old mistakes.

"You keep asking me to forgive you, Jason, but you weren't the one who got hurt. Naturally, you could have a fresh start without even batting an eye. But the hurt I felt was no less than having a thousand ants tear my heart apart with their pincers.

"Even thinking about it now makes my skin crawl, and I end up losing sleep over

    Natalie pursed her lips and gave a short clap as she rose to her feet. "Well, that's interesting, Gregory. How do you manage to say such shameless things with a straight face? No wonder Ro despised you. You really are trash."Rage twisted Gregory's expression as he raised a hand and was ready to slap her, but she didn't even flinch. Landon had caught his wrist and shoved him back, and Gregory stumbled, crashing onto the couch.When he looked up, his eyes were bloodshot. "How dare you!"Natalie snorted coldly with disdain written all over her face. "I didn't come here to negotiate. I came to inform you."You should know that Ro left everything to me, including a few secrets no one knows about, like Ravenhold."At that, Gregory's eyes widened. For a second, he seemed to stop breathing and just stared at her with his face ashen. "What do you want?"Natalie smiled. She walked up to him, studying him with that same cold intensity before her expression hardened completely. With her

    Pamela froze. Natalie's tone was calm, but the truth inside her words struck like thunder. It was such a simple truth, but why hadn't she understood that?If Pamela had just had half of Natalie's clarity back then, perhaps she would've had the courage to stay by Rowan's side after learning about his strange illness. But she hadn't been brave enough, and that was how she lost the one man who mattered the most.Before she left, she gave Natalie a long, thoughtful look. In her eyes flickered envy, jealousy, and recognition.When Pamela was gone, Natalie began to pack. Now that she was expecting, she couldn't afford to stay in Velmont alone. All the debts and grudges would have to wait until after the baby was born safely.This was Rowan's child, so she would protect it with her life.Natalie's flight was that afternoon. She made herself lunch, though she'd been unusually tired lately, maybe because of the pregnancy. Thankfully, the baby was kind to her, and she was spared from any

    Landon froze, his eyes wide with disbelief.Was Natalie going to keep Rowan's child? Would that mean Rowan would have an heir now?Tears streamed down Landon's face before he could stop them, and he started weeping like a child. "I'm all yours from now on, Natalie. I swear I'll obey all your words and do as you say."For a moment, Natalie held her composure before a smile broke through. It was the first time she'd smiled since Rowan's death.Landon laughed too, and for a fleeting second, grief in the room gave way to the tiny life growing inside her.Doctors kept Natalie under observation for several days and explained that the sudden bleeding was a threatened miscarriage brought about by the great emotional fluctuations in recent days. If she wanted to carry the baby safely, she needed to stay calm and joyful.From that day onward, Natalie seemed to come alive again, and all the gloom that had clouded her vanished. She ate on time, rested regularly, and let herself smile again

    Before Natalie could finish, the anxious Landon immediately cut her off, "I'll be there in ten minutes."With that, he hung up the call before she could say more.Natalie wasted no time grabbing her ID and bag before heading out. Landon was just as quick and pulled up at her door moments after she arrived.He hurriedly helped her into the car, and the second they arrived at the hospital, he began shouting, "Help! I've got a patient here!"Doubled over in pain, Natalie still managed to cut him off, "Landon… obstetrics.""Obstetrics? Oh, sure…" Then, as if a thought struck him, his head whipped toward her, and his widened eyes fixed on her stomach. "You mean…"Overwhelmed with shock and joy, Landon didn't bother to consider if grabbing her was deemed improper. He was barely thinking when he swept her into his arms and sprinted to the obstetrics ward.By the time they crashed into the specialist's office, he was drenched in sweat, and his voice broke with urgency. "Quick, check her

    Rowan's diary readings continued."Pretending to be a driver, I parked by the roadside and handed her my coat. She looked so broken that just breathing hurts me. "The woman I guard with my life is worn down by a failed marriage. And for that, he deserves death."…"September 5th. We got married today. I never imagined dreams coming true could feel so full and overwhelming that words can't describe how I feel right now. If only I were healthy… If only I had years, decades, to give her.""September 12th. I had another one of my episodes. When I woke up to see dozens of missed calls and hundreds of messages from her, I panicked."I ignored the pain and rushed home to find her crouching outside the door, all red-eyed. It nearly killed me to see her like that."I know that she cares, and though I feel happy about it, I'm worried she might fall in love with me. I don't deserve it. So when she told me we should 'forget about it,' I stayed silent. That silence was an answer on its own.

    When Jason was pulled out alive, Gregory wasted no time and ordered a helicopter to send him abroad for treatment.According to Landon, Jason was the apple of Gregory's eye right now and was protected like a national treasure. Not even a mosquito could get close, let alone take revenge.Magnus, however, seemed deeply troubled. He was constantly hunting for an opening and a chance to avenge Rowan.Days slipped by, and soon, a month elapsed.Natalie's damaged optic nerve had healed with her sight restored, but her eyes had paid a price for too much crying.
