Natalie got out of bed.
When she exited the bedroom, she saw dim lights coming from the study at the end of the corridor.
Natalie walked towards the study.
She gently held the door handle.
Creak! With a slight sound, the door opened.
Natalie walked into the study quietly.
Natalie was shocked by what she saw.
She saw Tobias looking at an album. His eyes were red, and he looked depressed.
He was so engrossed, as if nothing else existed in the world except for the album in his hand. He didn't even notice that Natalie had entered.
Natalie's heart skipped a beat.
Whose album was Tobias looking at so late in the night? A faint thought crossed her mind.
Could it be Tobias' old lover? That would explain his strange behaviour lately.
Her heart was falling into the ice cave.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe felt cold all over.
How could this be! How could Tobias be such a person! Natalie bit her lips tightly.
No, she absolutely didn't believe it.
Natalie quickly walked forward and snatched the album from Tobias' hands.
Tobias was in a trance so he was caught off guard. Natalie managed to snatch the album.
Seeing the person in the album, Natalie was stunned.
Wasn't this Selina? She flipped through a few pages, only to see Selina's photos that was taken since she was young.
Natalie looked at Tobias in shock.
Tobias didn't look up at Natalie. "Natalie, why are you here?" "Why are you looking at Selina's photos instead of sleeping?" Natalie stared at Tobias.
"No reason. I cto the study for a business call and saw the album by accident." Tobias said. However, Natalie felt that it wasn't that simple.
Tobias' eyes were red. How could he just be flipping through it casually? But how did Tobias beclike this? Suddenly, a bolt of lightning flashed across her mind.
Natalie's entire body froze.
She recalled something.
The day when Selina left, she called Tobias over. He had asked her sstrange questions.
At that time, she didn't know what it meant and didn't think much about it.
But at this moment....
The puzzles were starting to ctogether in her head.
Natalie was shocked.
She stared at Tobias and said, "Tobias, is there something wrong with Selina?" Tobias still tried to hide the truth. "Natalie, don't talk nonsense. Let's go get srest." However, Natalie refused to leave.
Her body trembled a little. "Last time, you mentioned something about being ill. Is it Selina? Maybe she didn't want to break up with Matthew or live somewhere else. She was just too ill to live!" "No, Natalie." Tobias said and was about to leave. "Let's go get srest." Natalie grabbed Tobias tightly.
"Tobias, do you remember what you said towhen we got married? You said that we should not have any secrets in the future, and we should not hide anything from each other. Do you want to go against your words now?" Tobias stiffened.
Natalie raised her voice and said, "Tobias, tell me!" Natalie's words broke Tobias. He turned around and hugged Natalie, pressing his head against her head. He sobbed and said, "Natalie, I'm going to lose my sister." It was as if Natalie was struck by lightning.
Twenty minutes later, Tobias finished explaining to Natalie.
She couldn't believe it at all. "Tobias, are you lying to me? How can there be such things in the world? What Witch Clan? I thought that existed only on TV?" Tobias said in a hoarse voice, "Natalie, it's all true. It does exist. I have checked with Selina countless times. The poison has entered her bloodstream and she can't be cured at all." Natalie was perplexed.
After a moment, she said anxiously, "Why didn't you tell Matthew? Matthew might have a way. I know that he knows many people. He might have a way!" "Natalie." Tobias' voice bechoarse. "If Matthew had a way, I would have told him. But it's impossible. If I can't find a solution, Matthew wouldn't be able to either. He could only watch as Selina died slowly." Natalie knocked her head.
"But everyone misunderstood her. If she just died like that, everyone would think she's evil!" Natalie was about to cry.
At this moment, she suddenly hated herself.
She should have seen through Selina's act. However, she actually believed that Selina had changed! Tobias' chest hurt so much that he

"Natalie, Selina wishes that her death would have minimal impact, that's why she wanted to hide the truth. She didn't want everyone to suffer because of her death, and she didn't want Matthew's life to be ruined because of it. Also..." Tobias paused for a moment because his chest felt like it was
being run over by a car. He had to stop for a moment before continuing, "The magic causes Kek to age rapid turning her in into an 80-year-old woman in no time. She doesn't want Matthew to see her like that." Natalie's blood seemed to stop flowing.
After listening to what Tobias had said, she finally understood why Selina did what she did.
Her heart was filled with endless sorrow and pain.
How could something so cruel happen to Selina! The next day, Natalie forced Tobias to bring her to Selina.
She promised Tobias that she would never tell Matthew about it.
Tobias knew that Selina absolutely didn't want Natalie to know the truth, but Natalie was very determined. Tobias finally agreed.
He knew that Natalie and Selina's relationship had always been good. Although they were in- laws, they were closer than sisters.
It was really cruel for Selina to leave before Natalie could see her one last time.
Besides, their closeness could bring scomfort to Selina before she died.
Tobias took Natalie to the house.
Natalie was stunned when she saw Selina.
She wanted to cry immediately.
Tobias was right about the fact that Selina would age rapidly. Selinam now s looked much older now. Natalie could even see strands of white hair on Selina's head. Selina was also stunned when she saw Natalie.
