At the hospital, Natalie trailed behind Jeffrey as they made their way toward Abigail\u2019s ward. Every now and then, Jeffrey would turn around to glance at Natalie.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m still here,\u201d she said. \u201cRelax. I\u2019m not going to make a run for it.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He pursed his lips. \u201cKeep up.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Natalie was being unusually quiet. So, he couldn\u2019t shake the feeling that something was amiss.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOkay, whatever you say.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She quickened her pace and caught up to him before falling into step by his side.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Abigail was having breakfast when the pair arrived. She was dressed in a patient\u2019s gown,\u00a0<\/p>\n
looking frail but composed.\u00a0<\/p>\n
When she heard the door open, she lifted her head and flashed Jeffrey an ecstatic expression.\u2018 Jeff! You\u2019re here.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She asked thoughtfully, \u201cHave you had breakfast? Since you have a sensitive stomach, you should have your meals in a timely manner.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jeffrey walked over to her, arching a brow. \u201cHas your voice returned?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYeah, it has.\u201d Abigail nodded. \u201cIt still sounds a bit hoarse and raspy, though. It\u2019ll take a few days before it can recover completely.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s good to hear.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDon\u2019t worry about me. I\u2019m perfectly fine.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Abigail\u2019s attention was wholly focused on Jeffrey. Because of this, she didn\u2019t notice Natalie standing by the doorway at all.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Natalie stayed by the door and didn\u2019t step into the ward. Jeffrey and Abigail\u2019s interaction didn\u2019t stir up any emotion at all. In fact, she just wanted to get this ordeal over with.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She wanted to head to the gallery as soon as possible, but she was also looking forward to watching the situation here unfold. She couldn\u2019t wait to see the looks on those two\u2019s faces once she apologized to Abigail.\u00a0<\/p>\n
As she was thinking about it, Jeffrey glanced in her direction.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy are you standing all the way over there? Have you forgotten why you\u2019re here?\u201d he asked.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNot at all,\u201d Natalie responded.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Chapter 89\u00a0<\/p>\n
2\/3\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cCome in.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy can\u2019t I apologize from over here?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jeffrey frowned.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cJeff.\u201d Abigail gently tugged on Jeffrey\u2019s sleeve. \u201cIs Natalie actually here to apologize to me?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYeah. I always keep my word,\u201d he replied.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Abigail seemed doubtful. \u201cJudging by her personality, she wouldn\u2019t give in so easily. Does she\u00a0<\/p>\n
have any ulterior motives?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jeffrey had his doubts as well, but everything seemed perfectly fine.\u00a0<\/p>\n
At that moment, the doctor, accompanied by a nurse and several interns, came for their morning rounds. Outside the ward, countless patients and visiting family members were rushing about in the hallway.\u00a0<\/p>\n
When the timing felt right, Natalie cleared her throat. Then, she announced clearly, \u201cI\u2019m here to apologize to you, Abigail Wright! I hope that you can forgive me for what I\u2019ve done!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
As her voice echoed down the corridor, several people instantly turned to look at her. What was all the fuss about? What was going on?\u00a0<\/p>\n
With a neutral expression, Natalie continued, \u201cYou interfered in my marriage with Jeffrey. While you stayed abroad, my husband supported you financially for five whole years. You supported him from the shadows, not caring about official titles or your reputation. Everyone calls you the other woman, but you can\u2019t care less about that either.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDespite the obstacles you face, you\u2019ve never left Jeffrey\u2019s side. On multiple occasions, you even approached me\u2013his lawfully\u2013wedded wife\u2013to taunt me.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHowever, I\u2019d still like to tell you I\u2019m sorry. If I don\u2019t apologize, Jeffrey won\u2019t let the matter slide.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She added, \u201cIt looks like your pillow talk worked. You win. I was wrong, and I\u2019ll step down as his wife. Is this good enough for the two of you?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The people around immediately began to whisper among themselves.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThe woman in that ward is a homewrecker?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHow shameless!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHis wife is clearly prettier than the mistress. Is the guy blind?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMen\u2026 How typical. They\u2019re always convinced that the grass is greener on the other side.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Chapter 89\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jeffrey pursed his lips. This had clearly been Natalie\u2019s plan all along.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Abigail\u2019s face paled. \u201cShe\u2019s embarrassing me in front of everyone, Jeff\u2026.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNatalie Bennett!\u201d Jeffrey gritted his teeth. \u201cDo you have a death wish?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve apologized!\u201d Natalie said matter\u2013of\u2013factly. \u201cI said I was sorry! Either way, I did everything you instructed me to do.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She continued, \u201cBesides, what\u2019s wrong with what I said? Everything I had just declared was true. You cheated on me, and she\u2019s fully aware that she\u2019s a mistress!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jeffrey\u2019s expression darkened, and he began to march toward Natalie. Subsequently, Natalie instinctively took a step back\u00a0<\/p>\n
Upon seeing that, the bystanders surged forward to try to shield her from him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
