Chapter 189

“Ms. Graham,” Natalie called out while knocking on Jacqueline’s door.

The latter was reading a book in her bed. She looked up the moment she heard her voice. “Oh, it’s Ms.

Smith. Come on in.”

Natalie walked in with a smile at that.

“Have a seat,” Jacqueline told her while pointing at the chair beside her bed.

The former pulled up the chair and replied, “Thanks.”

After closing the book and putting it by her bedside, Jacqueline asked, “Why are you here, Ms. Smith?”

Natalie’s eyes flickered before she replied, “I’m here to visit Stanley but he wasn’t in his consultation

room. I thought he would be here so I came to take a look.”

“Stanley just went back to his consultation room. Didn’t you see him on your way here?” Jacqueline

narrowed her eyes slightly as she spoke.

Natalie answered as she tousled her hair, “Really? I must’ve missed him somehow. I’ll send him a

message now.”

With that said, she took out her phone and pretended to type something on it.

A minute later, she turned off her phone and put it back into her bag. “Do you mind if I wait for Stanley

here? He’s going to come to meet me in a while.”

“Sure.” Jacqueline nodded.

Natalie smiled in gratitude. “Thank you.”

The former stared at her as she replied, “You’re welcome.”

Feeling a little baffled from being stared at, Natalie self-consciously reached up to feel her face. “Is

there something on my face, Ms. Graham?”

“Nope. But you do look tired. Did you not rest well last night?” Jacqueline questioned as she leaned

back on her bed.

Natalie quickly lowered her eyes, concealing the glow in her eyes. “Not really. Something happened

last night.”

“Oh? What happened?” Jacqueline seemed very interested in the topic and leaned closer to ask.

“Someone tried to kill me,” the former said while looking at her.

“What?” The bed-ridden woman was shocked at that. She finally found her voice after a long time. “Did

you report it to the police?”

“Yes. But the culprit hasn’t been caught yet.” Natalie shook her head remorsefully.

Jacqueline reached out her bony arm and patted her on the back, saying, “It’s okay. I’m sure the police

will catch them soon. Don’t be sad. But why did the culprit try to put you in harm’s way?”

“Because she thinks I stole her man.” She smiled bitterly.

Jacqueline was furious upon hearing that. “This is unacceptable! She tried to harm you just because of

what she thought. That’s just downright cruel of her.”

“Yeah. She’s too cruel. When I catch her, I’m going to let her have a taste of what it feels like to almost

die,” Natalie spat and clenched her fists.

“Yes, you should.” Jacqueline nodded her head and an unattainable frown appeared on the latter’s

face.

I’ve purposely told her that someone had tried to kill me and even told her that I would get my revenge

just to see if she would have any abnormal reactions.

However, she isn’t showing any unusual behavior. There are only two possibilities. One, Jacqueline is

really good at acting and she managed to fool me. Two, she really is innocent.

“What are you thinking about, Ms. Smith?” The woman reached out and waved her arm before

Natalie’s face.

The latter snapped back to her senses and plastered on a smile. “It’s nothing. I was just thinking about

why Stanley isn’t here yet.”

“How about you give him a call?” Jacqueline suggested while pointing at her bag.

Natalie shook her head guiltily. “It’s alright. Maybe he had an emergency patient to tend to. I’ll wait for a

while more.”

“You’re really patient,” the former observed as she adjusted her posture.

“Well. I’m waiting for someone after all. It’s the least I could do,” Natalie replied with a smile.

Jealousy flashed across the other woman’s face when she saw her smile. “Has anyone ever told you

that you’re really pretty, Ms. Smith? Especially your eyes. They’re the brightest, most beautiful eyes I’ve

ever seen.”

Natalie froze for a moment at the sudden compliment before she tousled her hair sheepishly. “Oh, don’t

exaggerate.”

“It’s true. May I touch your eyes, Ms. Smith?” Jacqueline’s eyes shone as she stared at the former

expectantly.

She was about to refuse but she couldn’t bring herself to do it when she saw the look in the

hospitalized woman’s eyes. After hesitating for a moment, she finally agreed.
