Chapter 81\u00a0<\/p>\n
Stacy stared at Natalie in shock. \u201cWhy are you consoling me instead? You\u2019re the one who got framed, Nat.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Natalie said lightly, \u201cIt\u2019s not like this is the first time.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She\u2019d gotten used to it, so it didn\u2019t matter. She\u2019d also\u00a0<\/p>\n
grown numb.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The corners of Natalie\u2019s lips lifted in a smile. \u201cLet\u2019s get back to business. We still have the celebratory feast tonight. Stacy, I need to bring my A game. I can\u2019t be bothered by these\u00a0<\/p>\n
matters.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou truly are a courageous woman, Nat.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Natalie was still smiling.\u00a0<\/p>\n
There wasn\u2019t a woman who was born with that kind of strength, and there wasn\u2019t a woman who didn\u2019t wish for someone to rely on.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She had been forced to grow by that heartless man who used to share a bed with her, her strength forged by countless trials and tribulations.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Natalie looked at that cup of tea, feeling slightly dazed.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In the hospital\u2019s emergency room, the doctor carefully examined Abigail. He prescribed some pills and put her on an IV drip before transferring her to a ward.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jeffrey accompanied Abigail throughout the whole process.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Abigail leaned weakly against his chest, the IV needle attached to the back of her hand.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cTake the medicine, Ab.\u201d Jeffrey handed her the pills and a glass of water.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Abigail obediently swallowed the pills and continued leaning in his embrace. She took out her phone and typed, \u201cJeff, will you accompany me a little more?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He replied, \u201cOf course.\u2018\u00a0<\/p>\n
She typed another line, \u201cI should be fine now. I\u2019ll be able to speak soon.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jeffrey ruffled her long hair and made a sound of affirmation.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cJeff, don\u2019t blame Natalie. If she feels resentful, let her vent her anger. Perhaps she\u2019ll stop once she\u2019s finished venting.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
However, his expression darkened. \u201cDon\u2019t worry about it and focus on resting. I\u2019ll deal with it\u00a0<\/p>\n

and make sure you receive an apology.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
2\/2\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t want your relationship with Natalie to become too strained. You were once spouses, after all. I don\u2019t want to make things difficult for you either, so I can endure a bit of hardship- as long as I get to be with you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Abigail was always so magnanimous, putting herself in his shoes to consider his perspective. In comparison, Natalie kept angering him and stirring up trouble every few days!\u00a0<\/p>\n
Abigail continued, \u201cNatalie should\u2019ve cooled down by now. Her brother beat up my cousin, and I\u2019ll lose my voice for a few days. Let\u2019s leave it here, Jeff.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Her mention of Stephen hitting Felix on the head was no different than adding fuel to the fire.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jeffrey\u2019s voice was utterly cold. \u201cIt\u2019s about time I settled both old and new scores.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Hearing that, Abigail tugged his sleeve and shook her head repeatedly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
However, he continued, \u201cNatalie knows that you damaged your vocal cords to save me. The incident earlier was clearly a vicious move on her part. I won\u2019t let her off.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Abigail was about to type another line, but Jeffrey pressed her wrist down. \u201cGo to sleep, Ab. I\u2019ll be right by your side.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She gripped his hand in turn, closing her eyes in his embrace.\u00a0<\/p>\n
As time slowly passed, the sky gradually darkened, and it was the dead of night. It was already 10:00 pm, but Abigail was still unable to speak.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jeffrey summoned the doctor, who suggested that Abigail stay in the hospital to be observed for two more days.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Abigail typed, \u201cJeff, I\u2019m scared of staying all alone in the hospital. Will you spend the night with me?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She thought Jeffrey would agree without hesitation.\u00a0<\/p>\n
However, he said, \u201cI can\u2019t.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
