Chapter 53\u00a0<\/p>\n
Chandler was the only one who had spoken up for Natalie.\u00a0<\/p>\n
After finishing his remarks, Chandler turned to Abigail and asked, \u201cRight, Ms. Wright?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Abigail didn\u2019t dare meet his gaze. She only said, \u201cI\u2019ll listen to Jeff.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jeffrey said nothing. He simply bent down and lifted Natalie into his arms. Then, he carried her back into the living room. He placed her on the couch, then casually picked up a piece of candy from the tray on the coffee table. He peeled off the wrapper and made a move to stuff it\u00a0<\/p>\n
into Natalie\u2019s mouth.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The moment her lips touched the candy, she turned her head away. \u201cI don\u2019t want mango flavor.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jeffrey\u2019s expression stiffened as he reached to grab another one, but the entire pile of candy was mango\u2013flavored.\u00a0<\/p>\n
What a troublesome woman.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He was forced to order a housekeeper, \u201cBring over a glass of sugar water.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYes, Mr. Foster.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
When the sugar water was brought over, Jeffrey pinched Natalie\u2019s chin and poured it into her mouth. The liquid trickled down her chin, dripping steadily. She was forced to gulp down\u00a0<\/p>\n
several mouthfuls.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It was sweet.\u00a0<\/p>\n
After the sugar water dried, it clung to her skin. It felt sticky and unpleasant.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Couldn\u2019t he just feed her properly with a spoon?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Thankfully, after a few mouthfuls of sugar water, Natalie gradually regained some strength, and her blurred vision slowly became clear again.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Abigail stood to the side, watching this scene. Her gaze darkened as she stepped forward. \u201cJeff, you\u2019re being too rough. You should let me feed her instead.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Then, she put a self\u2013mocking smile on her face, saying in a lonesome tone, \u201cYou still care a lot\u00a0<\/p>\n
about Natalie.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jeffrey replied expressionlessly, \u201cI\u2019m just afraid she\u2019ll die here. I don\u2019t want her blood staining Foster Garden and ruining the place.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Abigail was just about to say more when Chandler suddenly tugged at her arm. \u201cI think it\u2019s\u00a0<\/p>\n
Chapter 53\u00a0<\/p>\n
best to let Natalie rest properly for now. Ms. Wright, we shouldn\u2019t stay here and disturb them. Let\u2019s go.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Abigail\u2019s expression changed drastically. Leave with Chandler? No, absolutely not!\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m not leaving,\u201d Abigail said without hesitation.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She clung to Jeffrey\u2019s arm. \u201cJeff, I want to stay with you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jeffrey gently patted the back of her hand a few times. \u201cGo back first. Let Chandler take you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Hearing that, Abigail\u2019s face turned deathly pale.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jeffrey said softly, \u201cI\u2019ll handle Felix\u2019s matter. You don\u2019t need to get involved anymore. I\u2019ll make sure to give you an explanation.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cBut-\u201d Abigail protested.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Chandler cut in, \u201cNo buts, Ms. Wright. Don\u2019t worry, I\u2019ll make sure you get home safely.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Abigail started to tremble nervously, and Jeffrey immediately noticed it. \u201cWhat\u2019s wrong?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s nothing. \u201cShe shook her head repeatedly at his question. Then, she said, \u201cJeff\u2026 I\u2019ll take my leave, then.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Chandler smiled faintly. \u201cMs. Wright, this way, please.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Natalie lay half\u2013reclined on the couch, looking listless. Only after she watched Chandler\u2019s car drive out of Foster Garden did she say, \u201cJeffrey, I\u2019ve already done what you wanted. What more do you want before you\u2019ll let my brother go?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jeffrey stood by the living room window with his hands clasped behind his back. Standing tall and upright, he looked so calm and noble. \u201cNatalie, I want you to agree to one thing.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
