"Josh… Is that medicine expensive? Are you really giving it to me?" Natalie seemed somewhat skeptical.Since Joshua acted tough, Natalie thought he had moved on and wouldn't look out for her anymore. So, it was surprising when he offered her the Sullivan family's medicine.Natalie's hunch proved correct. She just knew their years of bonding still meant something to Joshua.Natalie seemed genuinely unsure, so she asked again, "Josh, are you really okay with giving me the medicine? It's probably really valuable."Joshua heard Natalie's voice and glanced down at her.Natalie's eyes were sparkling with surprise. It was like when a neglected child at home suddenly received a precious treat from an adult and was filled with unbridled joy.It evoked both sympathy and an irresistible urge to share all the treats one had with her.Joshua's eyes flickered, and he pressed his lips together. "Yeah, you can use it."Natalie's whole demeanor seemed like she was about to burst with joy. "Than

Joshua's expression turned pensive. "Really?"Natalie quickly nodded. "Of course. Josh, it's your fault for not coming to the apartment to see me for so many days. You've even forgotten what I look like."Her tone was a mix of frustration and hurt."I've always been pale, and with all the trouble lately… Because of this big wound, I've been bleeding so much every day. Losing so much blood naturally makes you look pale."You don't seem to care about me at all, Josh," Natalie said, sounding really upset.Joshua kept his expression cold. His eyes were locked onto hers as if he could see right through her.Natalie felt her heart racing. But she remained outwardly determined, not showing any fear as she pinned all the blame on Joshua.After staring at each other for a while, Joshua eventually relented and looked away.He then said coldly, "Fine."Natalie quickly held up three fingers and swore, "Josh, I promise I've been sticking close to you. I hardly know anyone in Oceanville."

After getting shut down multiple times by Joshua, Natalie just decided to stop talking. She was having a hard time figuring out what was going on in Joshua's head now.Meanwhile, Joshua had this fire burning inside him all because Natasha was shacking up with someone else. He was just stewing in frustration with nowhere to let it out.His decision to drop by Natalie's apartment stemmed from the remnants of guilt and sympathy lingering in his heart.Therefore, he chose to stay quiet, too. His face was tense with unspoken thoughts.The room was thick with tension. Both Natalie and Joshua seemed lost in their own thoughts, yet strangely unfazed by the silence.As Natalie and Joshua remained silent and motionless, Gina began to feel increasingly flustered at the side.As the stalemate continued, it became evident that Gina would bear the brunt of the situation.Feeling a bit lost, Gina attempted to lighten the mood. "Uh… Mr. Grayson, it looks like you've finished your tea. Shall I p

Ever since Joshua last came to Imperial Heights, Natasha hadn't seen him in almost a week. There hadn't been any word from him.As for whether Joshua got the invitation, Natasha didn't know and didn't really care.After all, things that came too easily were seldom valued. Just as with the authorization letter, so it was with the invitation.Preferring the comfort of her own company at home, she spent her time flipping through medical journals while enjoying her tea. Occasionally, when inspiration struck, she would dabble in experiments and happily jot down her findings.As for today's agenda, she planned to buy a new car.After her previous car got wrecked in that chase, she lacked the motivation to repair it. Opting instead for a fresh start, she decided to invest in a new one.She had actually planned to go car shopping the day after her car was wrecked. But then Daniel's unexpected medical conference came up, putting her car-buying plans on hold."You're up early today, Natty

Carly nodded, saying, "We're not exactly close. It's just that my dad knows the Sullivan family."Natalie's heart skipped a beat at that.If Carly's father was acquainted with the Sullivan family, they must hold significant status in Topola.If Natalie could gain Carly's trust, then this trip wouldn't have been for nothing.Just as Natalie was about to speak, Carly gently intervened. Her tone was soft but firm."Although you've been using the Sullivan family's medicine for your injury, it's still important to take things easy. Try not to move around too much."It takes a long time to heal bones and tendons. You're getting back into things too quickly. Watch out for any further injury."She was speaking with a gentle warmth, and her eyes were filled with genuine concern.Natalie nodded repeatedly, affirming, "Yes, I'll be sure to keep that in mind. Thank you for your concern, Ms. Turner."Just as she was about to continue, the salesperson in the car dealership approached Carly
