Chapter 162 Kneel
“However, the Graham family has the largest pharmaceutical company in Los Angeles…” Hugh’s tone was calm.
His casual words lowered Natalie’s mood a bit, and she said, “If you were a Graham, you would absolutely hate me, wouldn’t you?”
“I can help the Graham family, but I just watch them go bankrupt.”
Moreover, she was the legitimate daughter-in-law of the family. How ironic it was.
“You’re right,” Hugh said seriously when he saw Natalie feeling very guilty.
“Don’t blame yourself too much.”
“Really?” Natalie was in a state of confusion, muttering softly to herself.
Although this is asking Hugh, it is actually more like asking herself.
Her feelings were mixed. She didn’t know exactly what she thought.
The car roared past.
They quickly arrived at the entrance of Greenlife villa.
Natalie looked out of the window, and the weather had unknowingly turned cloudy and sunny. The dark sky had turned azure and cloudless.
She opened the door and slowly got out of the car.
The weather was really nice now.” The wind blew on Natalie’s face, and she felt a refreshing
sensation.
Natalie took a deep breath and said, “Hugh, you can go back.”
“Come drive me to the laboratory tomorrow.”
Hugh looked at her, with a slightly complicated expression in his eyes. He was a little worried
about her mental state.
Natalie smiled and said, “Stop looking at me in that way.”
“My mind and mood are in chaos now. There’s nothing else wrong with me. You can rest assured
to leave.”
Hugh nodded.
Natalie watched as Hugh’s back disappeared from her sight. She adjusted herself and tried to forget what had just happened.
She slowly walked back to the villa.
Her hand had just reached into my bag to take out the key when she was stopped by someone.
Natalie was startled. She retreated and shouted, “Who is it?”
That person didn’t answer.
As soon as Natalie’s exclamation of surprise subsided, a figure flashed past her. His moves were sharp and swift. In almost a few seconds, the person who stopped Natalie was shackled.
Natalie frowned. She saw Hugh restrain a short woman by hands.
Natalie was surprised to see Hugh, whom she had asked to go.
The person in Hugh’s arms suddenly struggled, and the commotion came to Natalie’s ears. She regained consciousness from her earlier thoughts.
She narrowed her eyes to look at the person. When she saw the person clearly, she was startled.
“Mrs. Graham?”
“What are you doing here?”
Natalie’s eyebrows furrowed tightly. She quickly waved to Hugh and said, “Free Mrs Graham.”
Upon hearing this, Hugh freed Linda.
Natalie quickly took Linda from Hugh’s hand. She helped Linda and looked behind her, “Didn’t
Julian come with you?”
Linda couldn’t have come alone. Julian must have followed along.
Natalie thought so and turned her head to look behind the woman. But there was only a low-key car behind Linda. The distance was too far for her to see the license plate clearly.
But she could be certain that this car was not the one that Julian often drove.
Linda suddenly grabbed a corner of Natalie’s dress and said, “Julian didn’t come, I came by
myself.”
Natalie was forced to come back to her senses, and she refocused her gaze on Linda. “Really?”
“Hmm.” Linda nodded.
Natalle’s eyes were wide open. Linda had just returned to normal. How could Julian have let Linda
run so far alone?
Could he rest assured?
*Julian didn’t want me to come, so I come here myself.” Linda spoke softly, “Nana, I came to you without informing you. Forgive me.”
“1…”
Before Natalie could finish her words, Linda suddenly seemed to be a bit unstable.
“Mrs. Graham!” Natalie could only quickly help Linda.
Linda supported her head with her hand and her voice was a bit weak. “I’m sorry. I just recovered, my body hasn’t fully recovered yet… I can’t stand stably.”
“You are too weak,” Natalie said in a worried tone. “You just recovered from such a dangerous situation. You’d better have a good rest. You shouldn’t have come to me.”
The latter part of her words already carried a sense of blame.
Linda knew Natalie was already a bit angry, so she quickly explained, “Nana… I just wanted to talk to you about the Graham family… I don’t feel well, I can’t wait any longer.”
“Don’t be angry.”
Linda’s legs were soft and shaky as if she couldn’t support them anymore. At this moment, she was fragile to the point of falling down if Natalie let her go.
Natalie couldn’t bear to blame Linda, who was so weak.
Natalie looked at Linda’s noticeably emaciated face, feeling both angry and resentful.
After a while, she could only choose to compromise, “If you have anything to say, just sit in the
room and say it?
After all, Linda’s body mattered most.
“Hugh, come help us,” Natalie turned his head and shouted to Hugh.
The two of them slowly helped Linda into the room.
Entering the room, Natalie immediately turned to find the medicine Linda often took. Hugh’s movements were slightly stiff when he slowly helped Linda to the seat.
Linda’s condition had improved somewhat. But to ensure her safety, it was better to take some
medicine.
Natalie went upstairs to her bedroom and opened the drawer to search for pills for Linda, but they
were inside.
Natalie frowned. She remembered putting it here. Where else could they be?
She went downstairs to search in the study but failed to find them.
In flipping the room, a cardboard box was knocked down by Natalie, and the contents poured out. She quickly squatted down, wanting to put them away.
There were all some old things inside.
Natalie picked up items one by one, including books, keychains, tickets, and so on. None of these things were used by her when studying abroad.
During the pickup, a small object caught Natalie’s eye, which was a pure black wooden box with bamboo carvings. There were mountains, water, and poetry on it.
Natalie’s breath stagnated.
She slowly opened the box. Inside the box was a small piece of soft cotton paper. An exceptionally
exquisite pin was wrapped.
This was a gift from Henry.
“Nana, what are you looking for?” Linda couldn’t help but ask when she saw Natalie was so busy.
The Graham family is in urgent need of help.
Natalie was interrupted by Linda’s voice. She held the pin in her hand and said, “I’m looking for pills for you, but I forgot where to put them.”
Linda said, “There’s still some in the Graham’s residence. You don’t have to look for it. I’ll take the
medicine when Mook back at the house.” Lind stood up.
Natalie couldn’t put down the pin in his hand in time. Upon seeing this, she quickly went to help
Linda, “Sit down quickly.”
Linda sat back in place.
“Nana, are you really not willing to help us anymore?”
Natalie pursed her lips.
“If you want to talk about this matter, save your effort…” Natalie was determined.
With a splash.
Linda suddenly knelt down on the ground, her hands tightly intertwined, and tears rolled down.
“Mrs. Graham, what are you doing?” Natalie’s pupils suddenly narrowed.Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
