Lothar did not say a word.
Essie continued, "She looked young. And she was quite pretty I must say. I guess she might be one of those noble ladies. I don't think your friend would be any worse than this woman." At first, Lothar did not react to her words. But after a minute or so, he suddenly realized something.
Right then, his breathing quickened as he asked, "Essie, what did you just say? Who was young, pretty, and looked like a noble?" For a moment, Essie was stunned.
Why was Lothar getting worked up now? She replied, "I was talking about this woman I saw at the hospital. She's pregnant but poisoned, and she won't be able to live long." It was as if a bolt of lightning had hit Lothar.
Her words did not seem to have anything related to Selina. But when he heard her description of a young, pretty, noble pregnant woman, he suddenly had an ominous premonition.
"Tellquick. How does she look like? What's her name? Hurry up." Even his forehead was dripping in sweat.
The more she looked at him, the more confused she was.
Then, she couldn't help but complain. "Lothar, don't tellyou're interested just because I said she was young, pretty, and possibly rich, right? That would do. She won't be able to live much longer, and she's preg..." "Just tellwhat I want to know!" Lothar interrupted Essie before she could finish.
She was stunned.
It was the first tshe had seen him like this.
She didn't know how to describe how he was right now as his face was all scrunched up from getting worked up. She licked her dry lips before saying, "She was wearing a high ponytail, and her skin was very fair. I don't know about her name, but she has big watery eyes, a tall nose, and small lips." His heart was thumping wildly when he heard her description.
With that, he rushed into the room and cout with pen and paper.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe quickly drew a human figure on the paper.
He had been interested in drawing once, and he taught himself how to draw. Therefore, he was able to capture all of Selina's looks in his drawing.
"Take a look. Is this her?" Lothar said as he handed the picture to Essie.
When he handed it over, his fingers were trembling a little.
He kept repeating in his heart.
He hoped it would not be Selina.
It could not be Selina.
Taking the drawing over, Essie stared at it wide-eyed. "Oh, God! How did you manage to sketch her? Do you know her?" Her words were like a sharp knife straight to Lothar's heart.
In the middle of the night, Tobias received a phone call from Matthew's assistant.
He and Natalie had stayed by Matthew's side till the evening.
Seeing that Mathew was fine, he and Natalie went back to the Whitlock family home. Before they left, he gave his mobile phone number to Hagen. This way, he'll be able to contact them if anything were to happen to Mathew.
But he didn't expect that Hagen would call him at midnight.
He told him that something had happened to Mathew, and he had no idea what to do with the situation. Hence, he urged Tobias to cover quickly.
Natalie was woken by the call too.
Seeing that Tobias was about to leave for the hospital, Natalie insisted on following.
However, he disagreed. "Natalie, stay hand get ssleep. It's late. I can manage on my own." Natalie insisted. "I have to go, Tobias. Selina is my sister-in-law, and she is my best friend. Mathew is the man she loves. If she decides to leave, thave to see him fine. How could stay put when he's in trouble?" Seeing her resolute attitude, he had no choice but to take Natalie with him.
Who knew it would be raining the moment they left the villa? The night was deep. Adding with the lightning and heavy rain, it was oddly terrifying.
Natalie watched as the rain poured as her heart grew uneasy.
When they arrived at the hospital, Hagen was already panicking. "Mr. Whitlock, Mr. Perry suddenly got up in the middle of the night. He insisted on going out into the pouring rain. We couldn't stop him at all!" Tobias's face changed. "How could he do that when he's in this condition? What if his wounds were infected? He's gone mad!" Hagen's face was filled with gloominess. "We're well aware of that, but we couldn't talk him out of it." After all, he was also just one of Matthew's subordinates. He did not want to offend his boss by bringing him in by force.
Tobias ran outside, and Natalie also followed behind him.
Sure enough, they found Matthew standing in the rain outside of the hospital.
His head was still bandaged.
Suddenly, a strike of lightning flashed across the sky. Anyone would be frightened by this sight.
At that moment, Tobias rushed into the rain.
Natalie gritted her teeth and did the stoo.
Pulling Matthew, Tobias ordered, "Mathew, cback inside with me." But Matthew did not move.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmRaising his voice, Tobias tried harder to persuade him, "Matthew, you're still injured. If your wounds get infected by the rainwater, the consequences will be unimaginable. Let's get back inside." Still, Matthew remained motionless.
He was staring into the heavy rain as he ignored Tobias, who was beside him.
Tobias exerted more strength, but Matthew was a man of a similar build with himself. He couldn't move Matthew at all.
Then, he shouted at Mathew's subordinates, who were standing there in a trance. "Snap out of it! Hurry up and helpdrag him inside!" Hearing his words, they cto themselves and ran over.
They had wanted to bring Mathew inside by force, but after all, they didn't dare to offend their superior. Since it was Tobias' order, they did not have to worry anymore.
Under their joint efforts, Matthew was carried to the hospital.
Since his wounds were drenched in the rain, the doctor quickly brought him into the operating room to deal with his injury.
Meanwhile, Tobias and Natalie had both changed into clean, dry clothes.
He was blaming her, but there was a hint of tenderness in his tone.
"Natalie, what did you cinto the we rain with us? What if you get ill after getting wet? You're not allowed to do this again, got it?" Right then, she faked a yawn. He felt his heart ached more for her.
"I'll take care of Matthew's business. Natalie, you're not allowed to cwiththe next time." However, she stood her ground. "Tobias, aren't you the one being unreasonable?" Confused, he looked at her as he said, "What do you mean?"
She took a deep breath before she said, "I think m much awake now, thanks to the rain. You and Selina keep tellingthat Mathew will surely forget her. And he'll be able to start a new life without her and live a happy life. But I have to disagree after realizing it."
She pointed at the operating room and shouted Matthew is hurting from being kept in the dark. He wouldn't be able to let go like this. Take a good look at him for yourself. This is all just you and Selina's wishes. He can't let her go, and he never will. It won't end up the way you guys think it will!" Tobias covered Natalie's lips. His voice was soft and filled with agony and sadness. "That's enough, don't say no more." At that moment, her eyes widened. She realized something! Ashburn > X
