My Heart only Beats for You

There would ca day when Hayden's biological mother and Tobias reconciled, and they would live happily ever after.

Natalie reassured herself.

She packed up a few of her personal items into her bag.

As she walked out of the villa, Selina called her from behind. "Natalie, my mom went shopping for sfood ingredients. She didn't trust the maid, so she insisted on buying them herself. She said she'll cook something delicious for you later." Natalie felt a lump forming in her throat.

She was afraid that she won't be able to taste Cecelia's cooking anymore.

"I won't be coming hfor dinner, Selina," she said.

Selina was stunned for a moment, then replied, "Are you going out with my brother for dinner? That's okay then. You two enjoy!" Natalie smiled bitterly inside.

She wanted to explain that she wasn't going out with Tobias for dinner.

However, she was afraid that if she explained too much, she would be bombarded with questions. She would not be able to leave then.

It was better to take off without a word.

As soon as she walked out of the villa, her phone notification rang. It was a text message.

"Are you up? Remember to eat breakfast." It was from Tobias.

Natalie's eyes stung a little.

She deleted the text swiftly.

Natalie chose to have dinner at a quiet Chinese restaurant.

As she ate, she wondered about the identity of the man she used to be with.

She must find this man and ask him what really happened between them in the past.

Natalie believed that they must have been very close. After all, she was willing to lose her virginity to him.

He might even be someone she still kept in touch with after she becan amnesiac.

A nsuddenly popped up in her mind.

Remington Whitlock! Could Remington be the man she used to date? Besides, he had told her that she once paid his grandfather a visit at his house. Was he hinting at something? Natalie's chest heaved.

Everything seemed to fit together.

Ever since she woke up from her coma, she had been pestered by Remington's presence. He made it obvious that he was trying to pursue her, and he had been so kind and gentle to her.

If nothing was going on between them, why would he treat her like this? Natalie was almost convinced her assumptions were true.

She must have dated Remington in the past, and she had lost her virginity to him.

She pulled out her phone frantically.

She had to call Remington to confirm her guess.

She wanted to find out what had happened between them in the past.

After scrolling through her contact list, Natalie was devastated to find out that she had already deleted his contact.

She could not find any information about him on social media, either.

Her grip on the phone tightened.

She must get in touch with Remington, no matter what.

Fortunately, she still remembered the address of his company.

That afternoon, Natalie headed straight to Remington's workplace.

She was greeted by a grumpy receptionist as soon as she stepped inside the building. The receptionist rolled her eyes in annoyance, ignoring Natalie's request to see Remington. Remington was an attractive man. Hence many fangirls would flock to the company to see him in person.

The receptionist lady thought that Natalie was one of them.

Natalie tried her best to explain, but it was to no avail.

"Miss, our boss is too busy to tend to insignificant people. Besides, he is not in office now." The receptionist lady gave a dismissive wave.

Natalie stared skywards and let out a desperate sigh. SEAR*ch the (F) indwebsite on Gøøgle to access chapters of early and in the highest quality.

Just when she was about to give up, she spotted a man walking out of the elevator.

Immediately, her eyes lit up.

She remembered the man. His nwas Yeason.

He was Remington's friend.

She met him once before.

Natalie rushed towards Yeason, asking, "Mr. Lawson, do you still remember me?" Yeason paused, startled. He looked her up and down, a trace of confusion in his eyes.

Natalie pointed at herself and said, "You are Remington's friend, right? I'm his friend too. We have met before." Yeason's eyes widened in realization.

He smiled and exclaimed, "It's you." Natalie breathed a sigh of relief.

"I'm here to see Remington," she blurted.

Yeason was stunned.

"Don't you know where he is?" Natalie shook her head. "I don't. That's why I chere." Yeason stared at her, slightly confused. "You mean, he didn't tell you about his accident?" Natalie's breathing halted.

Remington got into an accident? Yeason drove Natalie to the hospital right after that.

Along the way, she kept urging Yeason to drive faster.

It got to a point where he was pushing every speed limit there was, zooming through traffic.

He comforted Natalie. "Don't worry, Miss Godfrey. His condition's already stable." How could she not worry? Yeason informed her earlier that Remington's shoulder had been bitten by a crocodile when he was in the Amazon Jungle.

As she listened to Remington's encounter, Natalie gave a deep shudder.

Bitten by an actual crocodile.

He could have died on the spot! Remington did tell her previously that he was going to visit the Sahara Desert and the Amazon in their last phone call.

Back then, she had brushed his words off as a joke.

Why would a devilish playboy go to such a dangerous place? Surprisingly, he really stuck to his words, and he even got himself into an accident.

How could something like this happen to someone known for being crafty and nimble-witted like Remington? Natalie was worried sick - her heart was hanging in her throat, and all she could think about was her friend's condition.

When they finally arrived at the hospital, Natalie immediately jumped right out of the car.

"Miss Godfrey," Yeason called, halting her.

Natalie stopped in her tracks, snapping her head towards him.

Yeason hesitated for a moment.

He wasn't sure if it was his place to tell her this.

The reason Remington went on the trip was because of a woman.

Remington had always been a playboy, but this time, he finally got his heart genuinely broken.

Now that Natalie was here, Yeason guessed that she was probably the woman who had broken his heart.

He had seen them eating together before.

And he noticed the way Remington looked at her.

Remington had never looked at another woman that way.

His instincts told him that Natalie was Remington's soft spot.

"What's the matter, Mr. Lawson?" Natalie asked when Yeason remained silent.

He thought for a while before saying, "Well, when Remington went for the ет trip, he was in a bad place. Or else, he would not have done something so dangerous in the heat of the moment." Natalie felt her heart skip a beat. The reason he was in a bad place was probably because of her.

Her fists balled together tightly as regret washed over her.

She should have at least tried to persuade Remington not to go. But she didn't. Instead, she told herself that he was just joking.

"Back then, he was depressed because of a woman. Correctif I'm wrong, but that woman is most likely you, Miss Godfrey," Yeason said frankly. Natalie bit her lip. She didn't know what to say.

Since she gave no response, Yeason stared at her hesitatingly as well.

A solemn silence fell between them.

Then, Yeason spoke, "I've known Remington for a long while now, and I won't deny the fact that he is indeed a playboy. But I also know that he will not easily change his mind once he sets his eyes on someone. So, Miss Godfrey, please don't be too hard on him." X
